Weather station, FIXED (NOT).
Friday, July 31st, 2009OK folks, I think I have the issue fixed. Turns out, not only were there issues with the electronics in the sending stations, but the CONSOLE was busted as well! Wait for the weather data to catch up, but you will now see updated weather here!
Update (8/1 @ 8am)… SPOKE TOO SOON! ARGH. This is unbelievable. I must have some kind of magical RF blocking technology in my house that is not letting the signals make it all the way back to my office. It might be time to do some creative cable routing………
Update (8/1 @ 10am)… Maybe have a workaround. Rerouted some cables and have the console higher in the closet… stay tuned.
Update (8/1 @ 5:30pm)… Still having reception issues, even with rebroadcast. Apparently there is some crazy stuff going on in the closet. Tomorrow I will route some cables from one room to the next through the walls and see if I can get a connection from the console that seems to have good reception.
Update (8/2 @ Noon)… Been up routing cable in the attic. I always remember how much I hate fiberglass insulation AFTER I get down. Ugh. Half of the cables are routed, other half requires me making noise near a sleeping baby. I may be dumb, but I’m not THAT dumb. Hope to have a fix in the next 2 hours.
Update (8/3 @ 9am)… Wade is going to help me get cables punched down correctly. Tomorrow maybe.
Update (8/4) @ 7pm)… So you are NOT going to believe this. SOMEHOW, the channels of our baby monitor overlap with the weather station. Both in the 900MHz range, and that’s the damn problem. Thanks to Davis for helping me figure it out! Now I just need to figure out the right combination to reduce the signal->noise ratio. Expect some funny readings over the next few days.
