cumulusmx lost contact to weatherstation

Post by maddinthebrain »

Help!

CumulusMX lost contact to my WH1080. Before it work perfectly for 2 weeks. Suddently the reading from the station stopped and the last read value was uploaded for days. I was on holiday. A restart of the raspi ended with that there are not any value is read and uploaded. How can I find out what is the problem? Btw. with win7 and Cumulus 1 it works normally, but it is not my prefered solution...

Thanks in advance.

zip your mxdiags folder up and post your zip file here. Steve or one of the gurus can then take a look.

Yes, it looks a bit odd, You have had issues with reading data from the station, but it also seems to be reading logger data sometimes but it's not processing it for some reason. I'm on my iPad so it's not easy to look in detail, but I'll try to have a look again the next time I'm on my PC. Someone else may be able to spot what's going on in the meanwhile.

are you using passive of active ftp perhaps? SFTP or FTP or password perhaps? can you ftp into you web server yourself using an ftp client?

also noticed a file misssing:

Code: Select all

2017-09-01 22:09:27.365 System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file "/home/pi/CumulusMX/data/Sep17log.txt".
File name: '/home/pi/CumulusMX/data/Sep17log.txt'
the other thing is your using Mono version: 4.0.2 (Debian 4.0.2.5+dfsg-2~rpi1) on a WH1080 afaik this can cause issues and is recommeneded you downgrad the version of mono to 3.x (i think) plenty of talk about that here on the forums with Fine Offset Weatherstations

I don't use the ftp at the moment as there is no need to. It is not configured.

I tried the Mono 3.1.8 version at the beginning, but without success. There was an issue with the language. I don'tknow what was the problem exactly why it didn't work. With Mono 4 there where no problems. Installed it and cumulusmx ran fine until now...

Ok it works now again. It was because of Sep17log.txt missing! I created an empty file and it returned working. But why it was not created automatically?

Turn off the realtimegauges.txt upload, it is unintentionally set by default.
