I'm just looking to brainstorm here as I'm at a bit of a loss.
I have a Davis Vantage Pro 2 wireless weather station with Solar and UV sensors, the Davis Serial DataLogger and Cumulus to input the data into Homeseer.
The past few days I seem to be having a problem with the Solar and UV sensors not reporting in the morning; readings naturally go to zero overnight but don't recover the following day. There is no reading displayed on the Davis console and of course no data input to HS.
I've noticed that shutting down Cumulus and then restarting "appears" to correct the problem. This may be coincidental as success seems to occur only after 10:30 AM when we've already had several hours of daylight.
- I've checked the station, all connectors appear to be clean and free of corrosion. The UV and solar sensors are connected separately.
- Checked the config on the console and did reset it (power down, remove battery).
- At first I thought perhaps the station battery or maybe supercap might be at fault. Replaced the battery yesterday, and I've ordered a replacement cap. The old battery, two years old, still measures better than 3.1 volts. These are a long shot however as no other sensor is affected and all others do respond throughout the night.
Now I'm totally confused and could use some thoughts before I call Davis.
Could Cumulus be responsible? The Datalogger? Or maybe the fact HS has been running more than 80 days (Again though, why would the console not be displaying the values).
