I had to engage CloudFlare (free) to mitigate the attacks .. keep that in the back of your mind in case the bots get too onerous.
Best of luck,
Ken

Web-site/Forum news / Server Bot hammering
« Last post by WCDev on May 24, 2026, 09:37:33 AM »Hello all,
We are currently being hammered by many, many bots - today for example:
Most Online Today: 20079. Most Online Ever: 20079 (Today at 02:47:29 AM)
The server is coping well and right now I'm not planning any mitigating actions, but will keep an eye on it to see how it goes.
Cheers,
Stu.

« Last post by WCDev on May 20, 2026, 10:08:11 PM »Hello all,
This server will be off-line for maintenance tomorrow at 8PM (UK time) - I expect we'll be off-air for roughly 10 to 20 minutes, half an hour tops.
[Edit: Done].

WeatherCat Feature Requests / Re: Primary Sensors
« Last post by WCDev on May 20, 2026, 09:46:49 PM »Ok, I understand now, thank you
Will be present in the Dev 12 release, but I can't test it (outside of switching the Transmitter ID's and seeing the channels go invalid) so you'll need to tell me if it works ok
Cheers,
Stu.

WeatherCat Feature Requests / Re: Primary Sensors
« Last post by wurzelmac on May 20, 2026, 06:59:56 AM »In my case I have two windsensors, one connected to the ISS (TX ID=1) and another on the top of the roof connected to a wind transmitter station (TX ID=2). What I want to do is tell WeatherCat please use the wind values from Station ID 2, not the one from Station ID 1 (ISS). In another weather software (Cumulus MX from Mark Crossley) this is possible, see screenshot from the first post.

Can you give me an example/use case of what you want to do?

Weather Hardware/Measurement / Re: Can I use a new Vantage View Sensor Suite with my 2010 Console & USB Datalogger?
« Last post by wurzelmac on May 17, 2026, 06:02:55 AM »VV and VP2 console *should* work: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0515/5992/3873/files/07396_028_ID_6250.pdf
With regards to Ecowitt WS90: My VP2 equipement is now 14 years old. As a precaution I have added Ecowitt WS90 plus GW3000 plus WS3910C first to have a backup just in case and second to compare the readings. I am happy with the wind readings but not so with its piezo rainfall. So I added a WH40H analog rain sensor which is much more accurate. So in case the VP2 fails I now have a reliable backup, at the costs of a fractal of a Davis equipement. BTW, you don't need the GW3000 if you have a WS3910 console or vice versa because both devices can upload to Ecowitt and both are recognized by WeatherCat.
