Thanks Ken. Thanks Stu for getting the old forums back online. Thanks Edouard for the photo but what's with the Colorado license plate on the Airstream?

WeatherCat General Discussion / Re: Questions About Battery Warnings
« Last post by jmcdermo on January 27, 2026, 07:37:04 AM »
Thanks so much! That was the problem, new batteries in the right device and all is right with the world. I’d forgotten that the Envoy even had batteries.

As to your question about channel 7, years ago when I was setting this stuff up I was getting a poor connection on the default channel, so after much experimentation, I found Channel 7 worked better in my environment.

Thanks again!

Glad to see you're back, Stu.    [cheers1]  It was my pleasure to host the WeatherCat forums on wxforum.net during the interim time.

Thanks Ken! 

I will try to visit WXForum a bit more, but alas, I'm drowning in forum obligations these days!!

Dear Blick, Stu, and WeatherCat fans of a certain rascally wagon,

It's great to see another photo of Biquette after a 16-month hiatus.

The good news is that indeed she looks really nice.  I just hope she isn't getting spoiled!!

I hope you are in just as good shape as that 61-year-old automobile.

Well, I guess so, but the supply of reproduction parts just isn't as good!!   lol(1)

Looking good Edouard - lovely colour as well.

You aren't alone in noticing.  Actually her "seafoam green" is one of the reasons Mom wanted to buy her all the way back in 1968.  There was a battle for unique car colors and most of the US companies had unique formulas like this.  It still turns heads.  Biquette needed gas the Saturday before the show and before I could finish filling the tank two people came by asking if if they could take her picture!!

Of course, it does take a  L O N G  to fill up her gas tank!!  [biggrin]

And the age certainly puts our 20 year old Land Rover into perspective - had to have the alternator replaced a few weeks back, cost an arm and a leg, but what can you do?


 ;)   How about replace it with a chrome-plated alternator!!!   8)

WeatherCat General Discussion / Have you changed the Envoy batteries? (Re: Questions About Battery Warnings)
« Last post by elagache on January 27, 2026, 12:35:21 AM »
Dear jmcdermo and WeatherCat troubleshooters,

Sorry for not catching this detail yesterday.

. . . .
I also have the Davis Weather Envoy powered by a wall wart connected to my Mac where I run the WeatherCat software.

Have you tested and/or replaced the 3 AA batteries in the Weather Envoy.  Those are the batteries that WeatherCat considers to be the "console" since that is where WeatherCat connects to get data.

And today I received an additional email:
WeatherCat Vantage Driver: Station Power Alert. Transmitter battery failure.
ISS battery - Good.
Transmitter 2 - Good.
Transmitter 3 - Good.
Transmitter 4 - Good.
Transmitter 5 - Good.
Transmitter 6 - Good.
Transmitter 7 - Fail.
Transmitter 8 - Good.


WeatherCat TimeStamp: 16:12:08 25-Jan-26

I'm assuming the second email I got today with the "Transmitter 7 - Fail." notice is an indication that the CR123 battery needs changing in the weather station on the roof. Is that correct?

I'm afraid I'm a bit confused as well.  Have you changed the transmitter ID to 7?  Normally a Vantage Vue will transmit on ID #1.  Do you have anything that might be transmitting on ID #7?  Possible candidates are soil or leaf monitors.

Let us know if that helps with the troubleshooting.
