WeatherCloud Uploads incorrect.

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

WeatherCloud Uploads incorrect.

Post by Phil23 »

Noticed this just now.

My VP2 that's been in service for years is uploading to:- https://app.weathercloud.net/d8945151589#evolution via CMX.
Nothing Changed in ages.

It's showing 179 & 315mm for the past 2 days.

The Ecowitt HP2551 is uploading direct from the console to here:- https://app.weathercloud.net/d4341478552#evolution

Its showing correct figures.

What I think I'm seeing on the CMX upload from the VP2 is the maximum rain rate.

My own data CMX data appears fine on both of my own sites.

VP2:- http://weather.inverellit.com/index.htm

And the Ecowitt via the GW1000:- http://w2.inverellit.com/index.htm

Could be that they have changed something in how they receive the data.
Weather Underground is also uploaded from the VP2 & appears correct on the site.

When I look at both my rainfall charts for the VP2 & Ecowitt sites, gotta say I'm pretty impressed with the similarity of the data for the totals.
But I do notice that the Rainfall Rate varies considerably.

It's over a 2:1 ratio which is interesting as it appears that the Ecowitt may have a 0.1mm tipper Vs the VP2 0.2mm bucket, (or Spoon in my case).

This could be my own Stupid F^c&-up.....

Turns out that the instance I am running on the rPi, reading the GW1000, & uploading to https://w2.inverellit.com/ had all the 3rd Party Website keys in it from my main install.

I did use that VP2's ini file when I started setting it up & obviously missed clearing that section out.

Your dramatic rain storm seems to have stopped now, so is everything ok?

Stopped the Test rPi uploading is all I've done.

Perhaps Weather Cloud was confused by the two uploads colliding at the same time.
