I know this installation it not the best, a little too low, and too close to the house… but the best i can do on short notice…

Someone from Discord named arolake contacted me saying they were from tech support, and i think tried to scam me into “updating my firmware” and disclosing my Helium Wallet info, then when I resisted, the person disapeared…
Hi there,
Jez, these scammer guys don’t quit. So How’s the anemometer work looks a little LOW to get a Accurate reading?
Nice KIT for sure. Everything is included?

yes, i am thinking the roof may cause wind errors, but i am most interested in the rainfall for my purposes, also the solar pannel may be obstructed by second floor shadow in the morning and tree across the road in afternoon. I may be able to get a longer pipe… also may be able to locate elseware on the property… but so far so good for a test project, I am getting Helium coverage from a guy about 4 blocks down the street, so dont need a gateway yet…
I did the best I could do leveling… It has a bubble on top… but who can see that when installing? I had to get on my tippie toes just to put the pole into the slot… what da? I would almost say put an IMU on the board and use the bluetooth setup app to level… but that would probably be a waste for a one time use case…
This is the screen from the SenseCAP App
I was afraid my UV Index was not working… because all of the readings were 0… then i realized… Its been night all this time… I guess its good we got no UV problems at night around here…
Hi cgwaltney,
Trust you are doing well.
I have a couple of questions regarding the SenseCAP S2120 weather station.
First, have you experienced any issues with the rainfall intensity readings? Have you had a chance to compare its data with another rainfall source?
Additionally, have you encountered any irregular values? For example, if it rains for an hour and then stops, does the telemetry continue to show data as if it’s still raining for the next hour?
I appreciate your help and look forward to your response!
Thank you,
Darren

yes to a certain extent… i have not really compaired actual data… part of the reason is because of the whole metric system. i have noticed not detecting small rainfall… mist. reciently i stopped getting data when obviously raining and i had to take it down and clean the spoon and internals… then it went back to working… i spoke with seeed and they said they are working on adding actual accumulation to the software
i have never seen rainfall when not… but have seen missing rainfall
if you are noticing rainfall when it is not raining you may need to increase your update rate to like every 10 minutes… it may be you have update rate of 30 minutes… in that case if it rains till 0:35… it will report the first 30 minutes at the bottom of the hour and the the next 5 minutes will not be reported till the top of the hour… does that make sence?
What do you think about the power?
Was the cost worth it?
my power is 100% just on the batteries… i have it positioned toward the sun good
it has the option to add a bigger battery box that is included… but the text says it will not charge by built in solar in that configuration which is dumb… i dont understand why
my only complaint is that the units are in metric… the
temp can be switched to F in the app… but thats it
also i wanted total accumulation for the day and seeed has said they are going to add that and wind gust

Dear,
I bought a S2120 8-1 LoRaWAN.
I need to clarify the meaning of “Rain Gauge” and “Rain Accumulation” in LoRaWAN payload that I received.
So, Rain Gauge is rainfall intensity expressed in mm/h right?
Rain Accumulation is total amount of rain from the beginning expressed only in mm right?
Thanks a lot
Andrea
yes… i am wishing they would give us the options extra for the rain accumulation to reset or report per month for example… but they will not do this and it makes me very sad
Thanks,
so you confirm that every tip of rain collector is 0.254 mm…
So for example 3 tips = 0.254 x3 and i get in Rain Accumulation = 0.762 mm total
thanks

Nice topic, @cgwaltney. I just bought a S2120 and I’m having trouble setting it up and getting data.
First, the S2120 User Guide is way OUTDATED!!! Both the PDF and the online versions!
And there is no S2120 in the Document Center?! Did I just buy an obsolete product?
(I would include these 3 links but I got an error window from the forum…)
Following the user guide v1.0.4, there is no SenseCAP Mate App (for Android), apparently now it’s the SenseCraft App.
Somehow, I guess I was able add and pair the device. Now, how to get a first reading, just on the phone via Bluetooth, to check that it’s working?
I would post this as a new topic with screenshots, but I don’t see any new topic button…
Hi there,
And welcome here..
So you get it has changed, the Device and updated, etc. The Documentation does lag in updates. but it will be updated soon.
Do you have the App for it ? You won’t be able to post a new topic until you gain enough forum credz to do so, It’s a spam bot thing, just reply to a couple posts and it will enable automagically 
Then you can post new topics and attach stuff, code Pics etc.

@cgwaltney is the man with some 411 on it so let’s see what he has to offer.
