Pressure with Meteostick failure

[Stefan Schnidrig]

Hello.

I have a Problem with a Meteostick.

Weewx always brings an error message that the pressure is out of range. I have enclosed a section which displays the error message.

Also, I have the settings attached in the attachment.

Many thanks for your help
Stefan

Please review the Wiki article Barometer, pressure, and Altimeter, which explains the difference between the three values in WeeWX.

You are at an exceptionally high altitude (2900m), so the "gauge pressure" will naturally be very low. So low, it is outside the limits of what the StdQC service in WeeWX considers "normal".

You should change these limits. Go into weewx.conf and change this

[StdQC]

    [[MinMax]]

        barometer = 26, 32.5, inHg

        pressure = 24, 34.5, inHg

to this

[StdQC]

    [[MinMax]]

        barometer = 26, 32.5, inHg

        pressure = 19, 24, inHg

The limits (19, 24) are my best guess of what will work at your location. You may have to experiment.

Looks like a beautiful spot.
