Adding alternative source for a sensor data

[Jafar Al-Gharaibeh]

The humidity sensor has failed in my weather station giving 99% reading all the time. Is there an easy way to disable that sensor in weewx? Or better, is there a way to pull this data from other nearby stations?

Thanks.

You could try using the StdQc feature and setting a max of 95% to make weewx not believe the value

Nope

hi

I have the same issue, Humidity stay always 100% ( with a bme280 on a
RPi directly)

If you truly want to disable it, set its value to None. in weewx.conf, set it under [StdCalibrate]

    outHumidity = None

Thomas,

    Thank you very much. I tested that and it worked. Now I get these fields on the generated website:

Heat Index	N/A
Dewpoint	N/A
Humidity	N/A

Is there a way to feed humidity data from another external source so that I can get Heat Index and Dewpoint values calculated ? I can easily write a script to pull this data from weather.gov fro example and store it in a file to be read by weewx. Just want to know what options I have before gluing something together.

Thanks,

Jafar

What type of WX station do you have? Are you running it on a Raspberry Pi?

[Jafar Al-Gharaibeh]

I have AcuRite 02064C, and yes running a Raspberry Pi Zero W.  Generated Website: weather.jafaral.com

Depending on the Model Number of the 5 n 1 sensor array, you might be able to replace the sensor.  https://www.acurite.com/temperature-and-humidity-sensor-replacement-for-5-in-1-weather-sensors.html

Rich,

   Thanks for the link. Looks like it is only compatible with the new models where they made it easy to swap the sensor. I might still be able to solder this myself. I will give it a try.

Thanks again,

Jafar

Rich, 

   Thanks a lot for your suggestion. The new sensor arrived earlier this week and I was able to install it to day. Fortunately, the replacement was easy. Even though my unit is listed as compatible, it does have a socketed sensor inside, so it was an easy plug and play. See image below - adding it for reference if other people have the same issue. 

Thanks,

Jafar
