Well, got my sky. Installed. Worked for a couple hours and died. Got it down the next day. Tried a battery door re boot, no lights, no luck. Another new set of batteries, nothing. Light switch reset, nothing. Ideas? ---

@bill Will contact you directly to troubleshoot. The back & forth is odd fodder for a forum. Will post solution here when solved. ---

See [https://smartweather.weatherflow.com/share/1817/grid](https://smartweather.weatherflow.com/share/1817/grid) . SKY has been reporting good data since June. Sorry, don’t have the customer service case files from June in hand to provide more detail…but it looks like Bill’s station is up and firing. ---
