Yes, just one of the drawbacks of automatic precipitation recording. Agree. Using "High hourly rain" would usually be a more reliable guide. Or an average over a short duration (1 minute?) rather than instantaneous peak. Strong winds can also cause false rain readings, of course, if the s...

Different results with 3 different browsers: Firefox: geoffw shows a banner with time populated but temps of zero beteljuice shows banner with 'OFF-LINE' message mapantz just shows the word 'Image' Chrome: everyone just showing an image placeholder.

It seems to have disappeared, but I posted an update yesterday where I identified a likely cause/solution. The clue was: soon after reboot, I saw the Upgrade indicator flash red, but only once. In Settings / Alarms, the default for this alarm is set to latching for 0 hours (whilst all the others are...

Yes, those are the colours I expect too. And Mark said:

So, as I have recently rebooted, it should have detected update available - but hasn't. Here is an example with Low Temp showing as triggered:

Update: the alarm is simultaneously showing as 'active' (green) but not 'triggered' (flashing red) in Edge and Firefox, but as 'inactive' (grey) in Chrome. Other alarms correctly show as 'active' (green) in Chrome. Other alarms show as 'inactive', 'active' and 'triggered' when expected in all 3 of t...

Mine seems more fundamentally 'not working properly' than that. Until today, the alarm for Update available was enabled and correctly displaying as pale green. Today, the light has changed to 'off' (grey) even though the alarm is still enabled in Settings. And I've just restarted CumulusMX which sho...

John is right. Pi Zero is actually capable of running many applications simultaneously - CumulusMX, other weather stuff, Pi-hole, . It only seems slows when serios number crunching is needed (local network VPN is a struggle), and with our weather apps all we are doing is moving fairly small amounts ...

Rather than just wiping it, you might try getting the weather data off it first. If you used FileZilla to transfer files, it will likely have remembered the password for you.

You also might try this before the (rather complex, so error prone?) instructions above for password recovery.

No real reason AFAIK not to go for 4. If it's just for runnng CumulusMX, then a very-low-powered Raspberry Pi ZeroW is much more than powerful enough. There's no number-crunching going on. Much cheaper and uses less electricity when you leave it on 24/7. I suspect it's not Pi-power that's the probl...

Sorry if I've confused you. I displayed a 3-day window precisely so that you could imagine or overlay or slide any 24-hr window of your choosing, so as to find the 24-hr period with the largest drop (which is what Ray did from my graph). Compared with Ray's comment "greatest change appears to b...

But I still think the 24 hour period shown in the graph above reflects the greatest change of pressure. Ah - in your case, by chance, it does not make any difference. But that will rarely be the case. My graph is the same shape, but spread out over nearly 3 days from peak to lowest, so choosing the...

Cortmalaw

Mark, I agree that (a) makes most scientific sense (the weather doesn't have a built in clock, it has no concept of calendar days, and pressure drop could easily be part-way-through across midnight). Ray, I'd no intention of being patronising, and re-reading I think my post is helpful (as is shown b...

Pressure bottomed out at 04:44 with 972.7hPa . Exactly 24 hours earlier it was 1019.7. So that's 47hPa in 24 hours That's not the right definition to use - you need the 'biggest fall over any 24 hours', not the 'amount of fall in the 24h before lowest' (and let us put to one side that you don't yet...
