I have Cumulus online only about 18hrs per day for now. When switched on each day, the data are downloaded properly from an Ambient WS-2080, with no gaps ("catchup" works, thanks Steve) but it seems that they are not being cleared from the WS memory. Is this common, and does anyone already deal with this with known steps?

There is no need to do anything, the station memory just 'wraps around' when it is full over writing the oldest values. Cumulus always read the latest values it needs.

Hi Vijay

Welcome to the forum.

Cumulus never writes back to the station, so never clears the memory of the station. There is no need as the station logging is designed to be circular so when it gets to the top of the memory it simply returns to the start and begins replacing. As long as Cumulus is running regularly (or all the time) you will have no issue.
