    Abstract: An illustrative example embodiment of an elevator system monitoring assembly includes a wind detector configured to detect wind in a hoistway and to provide a wind detector output regarding the detected wind. A processor is configured to receive the wind detector output, determine whether at least one characteristic of the detected wind satisfies at least one predetermined criterion corresponding to an effect on the elevator system, and provide an indication of at least one of the satisfied criterion and the effect on the elevator system.

    Abstract: An illustrative example embodiment of an elevator compensation assembly includes a tie down mechanism and at least one compensation sheave that has an outer surface configured to engage at least one compensation rope member. At least one damper is associated with the tie down mechanism for resisting movement of the tie down mechanism in at least one direction. At least one detector detects movement of the tie down mechanism along the direction and provides an output indicating at least one characteristic of the detected movement.
