Re: Ecowitt HP2551 missing data
Hmm, I think I spoke too soon. Rainfall seems to have screwed up, as the only rain we've had for a while was yesterday, but it's appeared for today. As far as I can see it's the only parameter that's gone wrong as the others look OK. Any ideas? Attached is the log from the restart in case it helps.

Re: Ecowitt HP2551 missing data
The last archive data from ecowitt.net is giving a yearly total of 154 mm
The live data from you station has a total of 6.252 inches = 158.8 mm
So as soon as CMX switched from catch-up to live it saw 4.8 mm of rain.
It's too late now, but what you should have done at the time is edit Todays rain in the CMX dashboard and reset it to zero. CMX would then have just used the new total of 158.8 without registering any rain for the day.
The question now is why do the cloud and your station have different rainfall totals for the year to date!

Re: Ecowitt HP2551 missing data
I was beginning to think it was a problem with the yearly total. I still have the data from before I did the swap, I'll have a look at that and see what the difference is. And it has lost the rain on the previous day as well. I can always redo the catch again once I know what the problem is.

Re: Ecowitt HP2551 missing data
I've done some investigating. I kept the original data from before I used the backup. In the original monthly file, the counter is
1st May 00:00 154
2nd May 02:40 154.2
4th May 17:00 158.1
4th May 17:10 158.8
Note these times are BST
The redone data is
1st May 00:00 154
5th May 13:50 158.8
Note these times are GMT
So can this be corrected in some way please.
