2023

FARS checked out and Batteries Replaced

The FARS unit was checked out while I had the weather station down from the roof, the fan still runs but is a little noisy. Also checked the charging electronics and solar panel all were functioning ok, but the rechargeable batteries were dead, replaced these so hopefully all ok for the summer.

Added Ecowitt Lightning Sensor

Added a Ecowitt Wh57 Lightning Sensor to the Ecowitt GW 2000 gateway along with the Wittboy Weather Station. Hopefully I will be able to Graph the Lightning Data over time all depending on if it detects any Lightning that is :-).

Added Ecowitt Whittboy Weather Station

Added a Ecowitt Weather Station to my setup, which provides a 7 in 1 sensor array that provides/measures Outdoor Temperature and humidity, wind speed, gust speed, wind direction, rainfall rate, and totals, along with Solar light intensity and UV index. It will be interesting to see how accurate it is over time. I might add some comparison graphs once I have some data to make meaningful comparisons.

Added Visitor Logs

Updated Website to add visitor counters and logs to the website pages.

General Tidy Up

Updated Website to include 7 Day History Graph and corrected the Tags page to make the site consistent again.

UPS Added to the Meteobridge PRO2

Added a Waveshare UPS Module 3S to the Meteobridge PRO2 to provide in excess of 24 hours battery backup if the power goes out. Over 24 hours may seem a bit excessive but that's the optimum assuming the batteries live up to their 9000mah power rating.

Records Page Updated & Graphs Amendments

Records page updated to format date and Time correctly added a few more mins and max entries.

Updated graphs to make them more readable and adjusted scales to show the data more clearly.

Weather Display Data Collection Retired

Weather Display Data collection and PC Now turned off. Updated Website Re-Implemented Meteobrige Pro 2 and only imported 2023 data to date plus some of the historic records.

General Tidy Up and Minor Website Changes

Updated Website to include Metrobridge info etc. And a general tidy up! Plus playing with some of the Meteobridge Templates on the Tags Page of the site to see what info I can extract and display.

Re-Added Webcam Page

Re-Added Webcam Page and Started importing data in to Meteobridge. 2011-2013 imported.

Added History Page

Added Meteobridge Graphs to the Website and cleaned out all old files on the Website. Hopefully over time I can Migrate data from Weather Display so that I can build up the history to be displayed in the new format. Watch this space!

Added Meteobridge PRO2 and Weather34 Templates

Started the process of converting my weather station setup and website to use Meteobridge and the Weather34 Aurora MKII template to record and display the Weather Data. These changes replace the 2011 original implementation of the Weather Display software and other data display utilities like iWDL for mobile devices and Fresh WDL for Console data display. Over time I hope to migrate the historic data as well but for now history will build up from March 2023.
