Well, I’d be very happy to send you this one for one that works. You can duplicate it to your hearts content! 😀

Caughron,
I appreciate the offer, but we are pretty sure this is a raspberry pi software issue and not a hardware fault. If we can't duplicate it, then we will be happy to exchange.

Thanks. Not sure if it makes a difference regarding the Pi software, but after I get the “lockup”, the software continues to run and reports all the sensors correctly with the exception of AM2315. It reports as not present. I’m having trouble following it being a Pi software issue with that and the fact that this thing ran flawlessly for several months. Not sure if it is correlated to software updates you pushed out, but it does seem to have begun sometime after I installed them. Should there be other reports of this happening if it is a software issue?
Think I will order a new 2315 and the Powersaver and see what progress I can make. I plan on a 2nd system if I can get this one reliable, so I guess I can use those parts on it if it doesn’t end up being the problem.
Thanks.

Keep us posted! This is on the bug list as "Raspberry Pi AM2315 Lockup - see ESP8266 Drivers"

Did this ever get resolved? I have exact issue. Only gets resolved with power cycle. Weather station has been working fine for 2+ months. now it won't work more than 2 days. All other sensors work fine.

The same thing is happening with me. I went for probably six months with my Grove Weather Pi reporting temperature and humidity just fine using the AM2315. Then, early this winter it started reporting 32degrees 24/7 to Weather Underground regardless of the temperature. For various reasons, I left it that way until 2 weekends ago when I changed out the AM2315. After a reboot, it started reporting the right temp/humidity again. Yeah, right? Then tonight, I checked and it's back to reporting 32 degrees. That's 2 AM2315's that have quit reporting correctly. So, for caughron, did you ever implement the powersaver. If so, did it fix it? For SDL, I'm a little concerned about "programmatically shutting it down and then powering it back up." Is that in the GitHub software somewhere for that device? Is there another device that might be more dependable but still economical? When you say programmatically shutting it down, I assume you mean that it has some sort of timer that routinely shuts it down and starts it back up? And, that I could figure out how to do this? I just placed an order for more items for my station upgrade but if this is going to be a continuing issue... In other respects, reporting to WU is fine and things look okay when I SSH into to Grove Weather Pi except for the AM2315. Last, when these are "locked up" does that mean they are shot permanently? Update 6/4/18: In reviewing several different pages, there is mention of the need for 2 pull-up resistors with the AM2315, quoting from the Adafruit AM2315 page: Could that be part of the reason for potential issues with the AM2315? I also found more information here, with a downloadable guide. Much of that, however, deals with timing, etc. It also says that the resistors are required.

There are pull-ups already on the WeatherBoard. However, it depends on your noise environment. Adding another two 10K resistors would not hurt (on the AM2315 I2C Bus)
Now, regarding the software for the Grove Power Save, yes, check out the GitHub for the simple software.
Programmatically in this case probably means detecting the 32 degree measurement and the 0 humidity and then using the Grove PowerSave, resetting the power, and then reading the AM2315 again.

We are also facing same issue. Sensor locking u after few hours and working only after switching off the power to the sensor.Kindly update here if you have any solution or any reason of why this is happening.

My AM2315 is not working with the ESP8266 nor my Raspi 4...

We are phasing out the AM2315 sensor because of these problems. Here is a program you can take advantage of:
