Fineoffset WH3080 failure???

[Nick Norman]

Afternoon all,

Setup:

Weewx 4.1.1
OS Centos 7 - updated (except kernel for $REASONS)
Kernel 4.4.108-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64
i5 processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20GHz
Memory 8G
Weather console connected via D0Link DUB-H7
Located in the loft - hence warm-ish (currently 37c)

Been working 100% - allowing for the occasional lock-up due to the usb
getting tangled - cured by the powercycle script.

Today at about 10:35 it has stopped working.

The powercycle script fires off as it should but the result is still a
failure to connect (well the system says it's not there).

I have manually disconnected the hub and the station and re-connected
and still the error persists.

Braved the loft and ... no data from the outside unit, but screen showed
inside data - however the weewx driver could not see anything,

Went on the roof (bungalow but still ...) all looked OK, checked the
batteries, find 'alkaline' rechargeable - never heard of. Changed them
for normal NiMH and did the reset dance.

Nothing, gave up in disgust and over heated.

<time passes>

Just looked now and it is all back working ...

So was it dodgy batteries?

Will the normal NiMH be OK?

Mine drops off every now and then. I know it is getting low on batteries as the signal quality drops off intermittently.

I replace batteries , which reminds me I will put rechargeable in as I don't have any, and then I turn the console off by pulling the batteries and then it connects after a while.

Other than that it has worked fine for over 8 years.

Greg,

Your web page is so good. I am so envious.  I'm trying to achieve what you have already. I have issues beginning with not having a pressure reading, which leads to missing reports.

Have you documented your installation?  May I have a copy of your weewx.conf, so I can compare it to see what you're doing, and copy the bits I like?
