Support for new Oregon Scientific WMR-89

use a new .zip update of WD re the rain being *10 too low

Thank you, I’ll do that. The location of the rain gauge makes it difficult to operate manually so I will have to observe the next time we have rain. (Shouldn’t be too long here)

Hi Brian,

Any updates on this question? Thanks in advance.

problem is there is only bits and pieces of information on how this works available
I will give it a try and see if I can get some history data and see i I can make sense of it, over the coming days

OK , I have made a crack at it, and are making progress :slight_smile:
it looks like the data is only stored at hourly intervals for the history data?

Hi Brian

We have had a little rain this morning. The console has just changed to 1mm whereas WD shows 0.4mm. From doing a little research it appears that the WMR-89 uses the same rain collector as the WMR-180. I don’t know if this helps or not

are you sure you are using the latest update (.zip update)?

I thought I was up to date from when you last asked me to download the zip file but as a diagnostic I have downloaded the file with the description:

“Display ,.zip update v 10.37S Build 67
for Windows XP (with updates),VISTA/W7/8/8.1/10 (unzip to where WD is installed and note the new .exe name, WeatherDisplay.exe)
Version on 26 February 2018 - 00:57:54”

I will keep you informed

i have managed to a test here and you are right, WD is only increasing by 0.4mm

I will investigate…it might be that the station is sending inches instead of mm or similar

OK, I have found out that the station is sending inches of rain (but when all other data is metric)
I will upload a fix and let you know

Many thanks Brian.

try a new .zip download again
rain should be OK Now

i have the history data working now
(turn the switch on under control panel, data logger)
the station only stores data every hour (1 week storage)
latest .zip update
currently beta

Brian, just to give feedback on the rain issue. I have monitored over the last few days, using a glass jar rain gauge for comparison, and the measurements seems pretty spot on so thank you for that.

Hello,
but importing tha data by a data logger all parameters are ok while the rain data are not read? i have to make any changes in the settings?

thanks
Francesco

which version/build of WD?

Hi,
the last version 10.37s70

I might have fixed that, try a new .zip update of WD, ready now

hi , now is perfect for the rains data. My last question is the offset of a barometric pressure. I have put +20mb for reading the correct value on line, but when i read the data logger the value mesured is plus +40.

Thanks for your support

is it always 2x?
