Are the replacement units normally slow to ship? The last update I have on the track/trace is 19 May saying it has departed Miami.

New Tempest showed up today, can see the design is a little different (new switch, spirit level in the pole mount, new engraving) so hopefully this one will last a while

Edit: think the Lux sensor is more sensitive, we do have a streetlight in front of our place and can see it saying the ambient light is 2 Lux, the original unit would be at 0 overnight 

Few questions if anyone has tried both..

Is the Davis Vantage Vue as good as the Tempest?

How do they compare in accuracy for rain/precipitation?

Also is there an app for the Davis Vantage Vue and is it as good as the Tempest app?

thanks

I've had a Davis for 12 yrs now....replaced a few parts over the yrs. I use weather display to record readings.

Would anyone with a Tempest have a spare pole mount they would be happy to part with? (happy to pay shipping)

We had a spring clean and looks like the mount I had unused at the time got picked up and binned. I've got the tempest currently screwed down to a pergola, but it has been so windy that the flat mount is wobbling and setting off the rain sensor.

Bunnings sell a galvanised pipe that's the perfect size......  :-)

It's the actual mount the Tempest clicks onto, using a TV aerial pole which won't flex

Ah rights...that is a much harder problem. My Tempest died this week...I've logged a ticket.....don't know what I have to return yet....but maybe....

You'll find they will just send you out a whole new unit.

The part I'm after they sell for USD $9.95 but then costs a min of USD $35 for shipping to NZ

If I don't have to send back the mount then it is free to a good home. I'll should know in a few days...apparently they are experiencing high demand so there may be some delays...
