Now this is a cute little dude. Not quite a rocketbombplane. Maybe a flutterby? Gotta have one. My buddy up the road collects old analog clocks. Some work, some don't. I think anemometers are going to be my thing. Might start looking for old weather vanes. Whirly birds all over the place.

Rainwise, the rain bucket people, have jumped on the all-in-one weather station bandwagon it seems. The usual $1-2k but the "replacement" wind sensor is $160.

Maybe next year. Meanwhile the Davis unit that will be here this morning will be going atop the SE peak of the tunnel. I was thinking about a clear spot to put it where I wouldn't run it over and realized that doesn't exist. Then I read in the instructions for the Davis unit, if mounting to house, be sure it's at least 4 foot above the peak. That made images of barns with weather vane atop the peak pop into my head. Gothic peak perfect.

Stumbled across an integration for HA called HA Homestead. Veggies, orchard, chicken coup, compost and more. Haven't played with it much but enough to think, I don't need that thing I was making with WordPress. Now I just need to talk the developer into adding support for Imperial units because brrr, that celcius looks cold year round. To Do List? I love To Do Lists.

At long last, I have Live Wind readings here on the property. The wind sensor is mounted atop the peak of the shed for now. Not a lovely day out there and the tunnel PC is still in the shed anyway. It was quick and easy.

Guess I don't really need the 210 degree readout. That thinking is leftover from when I didn't think I'd be able to have a compass and was going to have to do a bunch of math to convert degrees into SSW etc. I'll leave it. Good to know the wind direction in degrees. I think it's safe to round it to a whole number though. LOL Leftover from some other sensor that was connected to that Input.
