Re: V4 WLL Wind Speed Bug on Restart

Appreciate you looking into this Mark. I think the underlying issues I'm having are related to my ancient laptop having connectivity issues lately. If I am understanding everything correctly, the same UDP packets that CMX uses are used by the Weatherlink mobile app to give 2.5 second wind updates as...

Re: V4 WLL Wind Speed Bug on Restart

And here is the wind speed chart for this period. Not exactly the same issue as I described in my original post, but I'm thinking the two might be related.

Re: V4 WLL Wind Speed Bug on Restart

A few logs attached to this message. Cumulus/WLL was acting up at least twice in this period, once around 13:15 and again at 19:40 on May 1. Both instances were times when no broadcast data was received for an extended period, which for some reason causes the average wind speed to increase significa...

Re: V4 WLL Wind Speed Bug on Restart

A couple additional things that are happening on an unplanned PC restart. Daily rain seems to jump by the monthly rain to date, and all daily info up to the point of restart is erased. Wind run restarts from 0, daily highs/lows all reset as though the station just rolled over at midnight. I have att...

V4 WLL Wind Speed Bug on Restart

I've noticed an issue that seems to occur after a restart which causes a large spike in average wind speed. I have attached a screenshot showing two instances of this occurring after a restart today. The diags file is also attached, and line 271 appears to be where things go wrong: 2024-04-18 18:39:...

Re: Calculate average wind speed - WLL

I am running Cumulus MX with a WLL and have the same issue any time broadcasts stop being received. I have attached a screenshot of my wind chart from today, and as you can see, this was occurring for nearly the entire day. If you open the Cumulus dashboard while this is happening, the reported gust...

Re: CumulusMX and Cumulus1 UI style Multilingual Websites

While this is not an ideal solution, I deleted the humidity series from the temp/humidity jpgraph and have not had an error since (previously I would get error 2003 >80% of the time).

Re: Davis Weatherlink and Cumulus simultaneously

Another option - I am currently running Cumulus MX using a Weatherlink Live unit. This setup wasn't too difficult to get working, and it uploads directly to Weatherlink.com without the use of a computer. The station data is also broadcast over your local network (which is how it communicates with MX...

Re: Dayfile Mean Temp Wrong if MX not running 24H

Did that fix make it into build 3117? I still seem to be having the same issue unfortunately. Edit: Just did a 20 minute shutdown and the average temp is updating correctly. It is heating degree days which is not catching up for me (and presumably cooling degree days, but we don't get those here in ...

Re: CumulusMX and Cumulus1 UI style Multilingual Websites

Just got these templates set up for my new WLL + Cumulus MX station, along with some of the additional options like the Extremes and Annual Data pages. Fantastic job! I'd rather view my website than the Cumulus dashboard itself, which was definitely not the case with my old Cumulus 1 default site.

Re: Dayfile Mean Temp Wrong if MX not running 24H

That's great, looking forward to the release. Yes, it's been a few years since I've updated my profile info on here, if that's what you were going by. Thanks for the help.

Re: Dayfile Mean Temp Wrong if MX not running 24H

Just did a quick experiment and shut Cumulus down for a while then started up again (with debug enabled). I copied the temperature section of today.ini immediately after Cumulus had shut down, and again after it was restarted and displayed "normal running" in the console. Neither the tempe...

Re: Dayfile Mean Temp Wrong if MX not running 24H

Thanks Mark. I was thinking something like that had to be going on in the background to make the averages work out. Unfortunately, I have restarted Cumulus so many times in the last few days while customizing my website that the MXdiags file for the 3rd/4th no longer exists (the oldest one in the fo...

Dayfile Mean Temp Wrong if MX not running 24H

While setting up my new website with Cumulus MX, I noticed that my NOAA heating degree days data didn't look right. For example, on February 3rd, the first full day of data I have, the recorded mean temperature for the day was 8.6, but the heating degree days recorded was only 2.3 - heating/cooling ...

Re: Weather Diary Saving as Previous Day

My issue is identical to Paul's. We are both in Canada - I don't know about Paul, but I am using DD/MM/YYYY date format if that makes any difference.

Other than than, I'm using a WeatherLink Live + Vantage Vue on Windows 10.
