WXM Hardware Updates - Straight From the Top

Nikos from the WeatherXM team discusses WeatherXM devices and firmware. The conversation covers issues with Wi-Fi stations, the open sourcing of the M5 firmware, beta testing and airdrops, new hardware releases, future plans for ultrasonic weather stations, and the possibility of a fleet mode option for managing multiple miners.
Takeaways
Some users may experience Wi-Fi connectivity issues with Weather XM devices due to complex network setups, but the team is working on improving the performance.
The M5 firmware will be open sourced soon, allowing users to see how it works and experiment with their own devices.
Beta testing and airdrops will be rolled out on the testnet for community involvement and feedback.
New hardware releases include the WB1010 bundle with a new gateway and improved radio performance, as well as a 4G gateway.
The new hardware does not earn more tokens than the previous versions, as the sensor capabilities remain the same.
Future plans include the development of an ultrasonic weather station, but it will be targeted towards industrial use.
The team is working on fleet management options for users with multiple miners, including firmware updates and other features.

Making the firmware open source will be an explosive thing in terms of integrations and expansion of the project. Giving the possibility of being able to setup your own device will dramatically increase the connected stations. Great guys, keep it up 🎉

Are you also planning a Realtime streaming data integration on Streamr?

[@ingostubner8659]

I would love to get this display for my helium station so I can see the data easier

[@qua3ro]

question. when I have a power outage in my house, the internet is not working, but the miner and the station are working and there is a connection between them. if I have power back on and the internet is working, will the miner upload the data to the internet that was recorded during the time when there was no internet access?

Do you punish balcony installer? I mean their data may lower the performance of applied weather forecasting algorithms, which use weathermx network 🤔

[@danwat1234]

You are saying that you are designing the hardware, yet it looks like identical hardware to 'Ambient Weather' brand? Why not allow inclusion of vanilla ambient weather brand sensor array into your network?

Thanks, but there’s one other question I’m interested in…

[@iRaptor93]

coming soon

[@Cooking-With-G]

Coming soon TESTNET airdrops 🤣🤣🤣

[@sweetmaanu]

Just selling device to make money, that's it 🤔

[@warmarhun]

scammers... release your mainnet

[@senorsteele7746]

Compensate beta testers properly, not with this driping bull......
