is there anything that can be other than binning the station? I know AcuRise isn't exactly reliable when connected to a R-Pi, OS is ArchLinux and I have USB mode set to 4.

Thanks,

Ivo

I'd really appreciate any feedback, I'm exasperated

 I have a raspi connected to an accurite via usb and its reliable. 

I don't have clever solutions. 

Try mode 3? That's what I use. 

Triy a different usb cable? 

Clear the display units memory?

Thanks!

It seems the station only gets back online when there's power outage, it's in a remote place and it coincides with R-Pi reboots. I'm using a new cable at the moment but it's all the same as with the one that came with the weather station.
I guess it doesn't hurt trying mode 3, I'm using 4 as it's supposedly the most reliable one.

>Clear the display units memory?

if you mean the Clear/Reset buttons on the back this isn't something I can do as I don't live in the location where the station is.
