Hey Ed, can a home’s location be substituted for another location with similar weather? This is actually a very good idea. It is not uncommon to have locations where the weather at the home is not indicative of the weather at the closest weather station. So what we want to do is simply find a location that mimics the weather at the home site and use that for our weather station. And that’s the way I see it.
