from your picture you show NORTH - but your station seems to be pointing North West - or is that just the angle ? the instructions shows you how to point the unit NORTH

I have edit my last reply and added a few observations

cannot see the left scale - so not sure if spike is 0.5C or more see https://www.ecowitt.net/home/index?id=19826 you can change to different time scales - maybe last 30days Just looked st the ecowitt and is it set to F which would change more i guess How long has it been in same location - just looking at month/weekly figures 14:30 does seem to be highish in some/ most days - perhaps the sun position or ground reflection, but you are on grass

I'm not looking to be 100% accurate to be fair, BUT it does seem to correlate well with the BBC Weather for this area. SO on BBC weather its saying 10c and my temp 9.5c and over the last 6mths , seems to match those readings , indoor is accurate as we have a mercury thermometer next to the sensor and they match OK too. BUT as i say , after various forums and advice from members like Mandrake I understood the sensor pack was always going to be a compromise, but for a Davies I was looking at £1500+ !!!! We also back onto a PARK and to the north of that a large field, and 0.5Km from the sea , with just bungalows between us and the sea.

here is a guide i used https://www.weather.gov/media/epz/mesonet/CWOP-Siting.pdf BUT i had trouble meeting the height with the pole i had , as it was to small really I then looked into using OLD scaffold poles, but the cost was very high for delivery and thought about a pole sold by screwfix In the end I compromised. Not ideal, BUT i'm happy with the results

HI - What did you order and i wondered where from I was looking to add some additional sensors, but never got around to it

i also lost the sd card inside the machine last year, there is a hole next to the slot nd its so easy to push the card into the gap at the side !!!!!!! so beware Its still in the bottom of the case

I used just some tie wraps around I just deleted the photos the otherday, luckily they stay in deleted for 30days on photos app The tie wraps i purchased in Lidl when they had an offer on for various sizes in a pack. Before lockdown. two thicker ones around the rim and very thin ones sticking up - hopefully you can see the setup from the photo. Never seen a bird near it since putup in may Screwfix/toolstation have various tie wraps available I chose black only because it matched the rest of the setup

updated the firmware, really easy to do Wifi EasyWeather V1.5.0 Firmware PRO_V1.6.0

@Gavztheouch did that get it updating to WU

I reported on another forum at 08:44 it was not working, by 11:55 it was online , tried manythings, but I changed the interval to 5mins and that seemed to let it burst into life after about 20/30 mins The ID is all capitals and the Key is case sensitive Is it working ok to ecowitt.net ?

Today , I setup the barometer correctly with a lot of help from another forum So my server updates for pressure should now be correct , based on METAR from goodwood airfield & my elivation of 6m based on various websites to get the correct REL prssure good fun so far m and unit has met all y expectations no limitations so far now reporting to the following servers , quite easy to setup I also have the ability to set a custom server to another service , so just looking at those PWS Ecowitt.net:https://www.ecowitt.net/home/index?id=19826 Weathercloud:https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/ICHICH51 WOW:https://wow.metoffice.gov.uk/observations/details?site_id=feda8d77-15a3-ea11-8b71-0003ff59b0d7 https://app.weathercloud.net/d3476715338

i have Now fixed the unit in its final (hopefully) position. cleared all the data and started again on the Web server sites Also managed to connect it to ecowitt.net & weathercloud PWS Ecowitt.net https://tinyurl.com/ydhbdqhv Weathercloud https://tinyurl.com/yatfdmx7 need to create a free account to view the data on Ecowitt. The Wunderground site just reports the unit as offline , not sure why And WOW met office site, wont let me login , site seems to be down. E-Witt-W8686-ETAF the indoor temp gauge is very slow to respond, i have trie dout in fridge and also had the unit in a fridge in the garage about 50m away and it never lost connection, so very good I have a BBQ 4x & weber instant thermometer which i'm comparing to
