Solar Radiation Graph not Loading data

Post by GeorgeF »

I have just added a solar radiation sensor to my Davis VP2.
The data is being collected in WeatherLink Live and CumulusMX is showing the data on charts in the admin interface BUT despite looking at everything I can think of the Solar data and Sunshine Hours charts on the website are not shown.
All that appears is the message "loading" - all other charts are fine
The website files are totally untouched by me and the latest build 3152 has been installed.
I suspect I have missed something in the setup but the fact the admin interface shows a perfect chart and the trends charts has a solar radiation and sunshine buttons probably means it is something very subtle.

Any ideas what I have missed?

I think you need to tick "Display Solar Data" and "Display UV-I Data" in Settings / Station Settings / Display Options.

Is it possible that you did not activate the data (Station Settings=>Graphs=>Solar Data)?
And note that the solar hours are updated daily.

No joy there - the buttons are on the website trends chart - it just doesn't do anything.
The admin interface shows everything perfectly. So the settings appear fine
It is as though the data is not getting copied to the website?
Does anyone with a solar sensor see a file named like "solardata.json" in the webfiles directory?

Please post your latest MXdiags log file and I'll take a look to see if anything is highlighted in there.

Have you ticked Solardata.json, solarhours.json in Settings / Internet Settings / Interval Configuration / Graph File Settings?

Well spotted - I had not found those tick boxes and the website is now displaying the solar radiation and hours of sunshine

Thank you to everyone who offered help
