Just no wind!
Admittedly, the sensor pole is just pushed in to the ground, and it wasn't quite level, so it may not be quite as easy to move from a dead stop. Plus, it was quite wet, so the added weight of the water sitting on it probably didn't help.
Jiggling the unit also seemed to register some rain (must have moved the bucket a bit). Seems to be working.
ps. have been reading the wd forum, and discovered the "onepagecustomtemplates.zip" file in the main directory. Will be fiddling with that one next. I agree that the LiveDisplay stuff is a bit restrictive, but it IS pretty.
I'm running the website off my main PC with IIS, so have no idea about PHP/AJAX etc. Will see how far I can go with a custom HTML page before I delve in to that.
My main thrust with this project will be to somehow put together local weather page for my astronomy purposes (linking in BOM weather images and other such stuff). I'd love to somehow get a cloud sensor going (the Boltwood one seems to be the only commercial product and it is priced based on this fact). There appears to be some documentation on a DIY solution on the net, but quite painful as far as I can tell.
