This is great. Congratulations!

The BME280 reads 5-9C too high in my setup. I’m using the compensation equation from https://github.com/pimoroni/enviroplus-python/blob/master/examples/compensated-temperature.py with a factor of 2.0 right now and that seems to get me within 0.5C of a household thermometer over the range we had rece…

For the shutdown/reboot, you can configure sudo rules to allow the pi user to execute just the shutdown command without password. So, that would cover most of the reminding 5%, where the Pi owner might mess with the standard configuration. [20200606_103341_HDR]

Hi @peter , I am not sure if windy.com has a suitable App to interface with your PiConsole? https://api.windy.com/ I have found that using windy.com with the ECMWF forecast model is usually the most easy and accurate for me. I also look at the GSF model to compare the latest analysis. It is amazin…

[image] iladyman: I am not sure if windy.com has a suitable App to interface with your PiConsole? https://api.windy.com/ Good suggestion, but unfortunately their API is not free and their trial version will only return the weather conditions from random lat/lon positions.

@peter Have you looked at MetCheck at all? I used to use that before DarkSky and found it accurate (but DarkSky was often better for me). They have some data available for free, and some with minimal payments (less than 1p per 1000 requests): Metcheck.com - Location Finder. Metcheck.co…
