Weather 2025 Cactus Wren

Trying to get my weather pages back up, Cactus Wren Weather pages have been down a couple years. My WiFi extender for the weather station/media computer died. I need to get a mesh router to cover the house. Now using Cumulus MX, the software downloads the weather from my Davis Vantage Pro weather station. Also having ftp issues with my hosting company Ionos I am not happy with them.

I had Weather Display before but the software kept freezing up so I switched to Cumulus MX but have not gotten it to upload. About the same time I had switched from Blue Host to Ionos and started having ftp problems.

I am near 38th Ave and Hatcher Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85051

Cactus Wren Weather Station

Photos of the weather station, been meaning to put them up for a while. Lost the photos when the site moved so had to update it. Davis Vantage Pro2 which has been calibrated by Davis, the baromter was drifting. Solar powered temperature heat shield, Solar and UV sensors, rain gauge has been updated with the new version with bird wires. CoCoRaHS – Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow Network rain gauge on back of station. Cement paver path so I can get to the gauge with out walking in the mud. Weather Display software
Weather Display v10.37S b102

You can sort of see the pavers behind the station, keep getting a invalid json error trying to upload the paver error.. My dog in the background on the patio, blurry thing in the right corner is my finger. Photos taken with my galaxy tablet.

Bloomsky is gone, no longer on the weather page.

In the last few months I have had 3 bloomskys and took down the Storm unit today to send back. I bought a storm about 6 months ago and the first Bloomsky v1 unit died a week later after being up for 6 months. The two replacement Version 2 Sky units I have received will not stay connected to my router even sitting in my office with it. After months of going around with their tech support I got tired of it and told them I want my money back. Have a call tag for the Storm, need to box it up and send it back along with the ridiculously priced mount

https://www.bloomsky.com/product

I’m sure I paid more like $100 6 months ago  http://shop.bloomsky.com/products-list/mount

I would not recommend them to anyone.

The weather page for my Davis station is up and running though.

Scottsworld Website changes

Some changes to the webpages, replaced the drop down link menu with a side bar menu which works much better, the drop down tended to be touchy and did not work well in some versions of Explorer..

The gospel principles pages are gone, I was getting a lot of complaints from people asking to be removed from the list who were apparently too dumb to read the directions at the bottom of every message..  I dot not have a lot of time to post it any more and when I stopped two years ago not one person emailed me asking why. Most email lists have died, I think a lot of people only do social media any more.  I know most of the time the only traffic on my  LDS singles list  was the monthly posting of the rules of the list.    I’m not single any more so I don’t post on it myself.

Cleaned up the links pages which I had not really done in 4 years.  A lot of LDS sites have disappeared and many other sites as well.

Working on getting my Cactus Wren, Scott’s Weather Station pages up. I had to change from Virtual Weather Station because it kept crashing in Windows 10 and the author doesn’t seem to want to support it any more. Have switched to Weather Display, some what more complicated, settings are scattered all over mutiple menus and webpage creation is a lot more complicated. I understood how VWS did it, now having to learn a whole new system.

Just installed a new beta editor in  Word Press called Gutenberg,  Seems nice so far.  It will be the new editor in WP 5. It introduces the block and you can move them around and edit things easier.

Pretty much all new content will be here in the scottsworld blog as I can just sit down and type with out a lot of html editing, and then having to FTP it to the website. Which all that is a whole process that takes time.

Thanks for visiting Scottsworld, surprised there are 180 people subscribed to this blog.
