Field contract
After decode, dashboards should show speed, gust, direction, battery, and frame counter. Keep the cup/vane clear of guy wires and solar panels.
Rain and soil kits join the same application with their own profiles — never paste wind fields onto a tipping bucket.
Named fields
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| wind_speed | number | Wind speed in datasheet units |
| wind_gust | number | Peak gust in the reporting window |
| wind_dir_deg | integer | Direction in degrees |
| battery_mv | integer | Battery millivolts |
| fcnt | integer | Frame counter |
Example after decode
{
"wind_speed": 4.2,
"wind_gust": 7.1,
"wind_dir_deg": 245,
"battery_mv": 3360,
"fcnt": 119
}Byte offsets live in the decoder file shipped with the kit. If the first uplink disagrees with this example, trust the shipment file and the factory functional-test record.

FAQ
Why document boom height?
Wind speed depends on height. Without it, seasonal comparisons are meaningless.
Same codec as rain?
No. Tipping-bucket rain uses the PS-460 profile.
Icing?
Ice on cups stalls speed while fcnt still moves. Inspect after storms.
Bands?
EU868 and US915 standard. Confirm other plans on the quote.
