;While the ideal weather station for many people would be a “plug and play” model that requires no maintenance, your attention may be needed from time to time.The machine’s moving parts (like the wind meter) may require regular adjustments.The connection between the weather station and monitor could become disrupted at times. You may occasionally need to repair a connection;or replace a wire.Given the complexity and amount of data usually handled between the sensors and the processors, the software that operates on the raw data can sometimes crash, thereby necessitating a hard reboot or firmware upgrade.
