If so please enable data logging and restart that copy of CMX then post the MXdiags file after a few minutes.

Ah, I'd assumed you had set-up API access.
On start-up CMX will pull down the health records from wl.com if the API is enabled. Then we could see if the data was accessible in the cloud via the API and just not displaying on the web page, or if it was unavailable to the API as well.

Do you mean with the pro subscription? As I haven't quite got around to that. Although, I can do it right now..

Edit: OK - I've set it up.

For some reason, my data on the Davis bulletin board is still showing data at 15 minute increments, the same if look at the data tables. I thought it is supposed to give you access to data at 5 min intervals?

CMX is set to 5 mins. I tested by closing it down at 16:27

Opened it back up at 16:35, it downloaded the 16:30 entry, but not the 16:35

Does CMX download old AirLink data via the WLL?

Once you add the Pro subscription you have to set your required archive interval on wl.com

Ah ok.

Took me a while to find it!

I was hoping it would show all previous data at 5 minute intervals, sadly not!

I presume CMX can't get access to the data that started yesterday afternoon on the WLL?

Just so you don't feel on your own.
.I'm still not getting Health Data on WLL

I'm sure when I first set it up I did have Health Data.
But I can't be 1000% Sure .

Either way I'm not getting any healtdata at the moment, only from the Airlink.

In another thread Mark had recently indicated you could do that viewtopic.php?p=158946#p158946

My Health Data is displaying fine on my WL.com WLL station, including AirLink.

p.s. If you already had a WL.com station and now a new WL.com for the WLL station you can activate/interchange your Pro subscription between the two WL.com stations. Just downgrade one, and upgrade the other as often as you want.
EDIT: Not sure if that applies to the trial period.

Enjoy,

Thanks Paul!

Thanks for the "share" yesterday, btw :)

The next thing I am trying to put together here, is a new system stats page for the WLL and sensors etc. It's getting me a little confused..

<#DavisReceptionPercent>

^ Would that represent the WLL?
If yes, then below is correct?

My ISS is channel 1: <#DavisReceptionPercent tx=1>
My Anemometer is channel2: <#DavisReceptionPercent tx=2>
My Soil temp is channel 8: <#DavisReceptionPercent tx=8>

Also, do those webtags now make this redundant?

Code: Select all

<script>var tot = <?php echo <#DavisTotalPacketsReceived>; ?> === 0 ? 1 : <?php echo <#DavisTotalPacketsReceived>; ?>;
        document.write(((tot / (tot + <?php echo <#DavisTotalPacketsMissed>; ?>)) * 100).toFixed(1) + '%');
        </script><noscript>n/a</noscript>

I'm completely baffled..

According to the logs

2022-01-07 22:04:46.139 WLL current: found ISS data on TxId 1
2022-01-07 22:04:46.140 WLL current: found ISS data on TxId 2
2022-01-07 22:04:46.140 WLL current: found Leaf/Soil data on TxId 8

<#DavisTxRssi> shows -84
<#DavisTxRssi tx=0> shows -60
<#DavisTxRssi tx=1> shows -84
<#DavisTxRssi tx=2> shows -63

<#DavisReceptionPercent> shows 99%
<#DavisReceptionPercent tx=1> shows 99%
<#DavisReceptionPercent tx=2> shows 97%

I have no idea which is which, especially because tx2 is supposed to be the anemometer, and tx8 the soil temp transmitter.. :?:

I think it may be to do with the firmware version.. mine is dated 2021-05-22. I've noticed others dated 2021-11-05

Here's what I have come up with: https://postimg.cc/SjZ5yPhb

No idea if any of that is in the right order, or I am missing anything? :lol:

Where are you seeing the Firmware Version?
Is this via CMX?

If so mine is only showing 2020-10-21

See my screen shot above - processed webtags by CMX. :)

I see weatherlink.com is down.. :?

OK a few things to address here...

1. When I enabled my Pro subscription I could immediately see all my historic 5 minute data. I seem to recall Davis told me if I bought a Pro+ then my historic 1 minute data would be available as well. I wonder if they have stopped storing that data now unless you pay for it?

2. The WLL only "sees" two types of transmitter, ISS and Soil/Leaf. So anemometer, extra temp etc transmitters are all ISS stations as far as a WLL is concerned. That is why you have to tell it which "ISS" is your primary.

The web tags you should be using for your remote transmitters are: <#DavisTxRssi tx=1>, <#DavisTxRssi tx=2>, <#DavisTxRssi tx=8>.
<#DavisTxRssi tx=0> is showing the WLL WiFi RSSI value.

The WLL does not send the stats for packets received/missed (only current longest run of good packets), but it does send the percentage instead, so those calcs can be dropped.

3. The fact that you are seeing transmission values and firmware values in CMX shows that it is fetching the health data from the wl.com cloud OK. The issues just seems to be displaying it on their web interface.

<#DavisTxRssi tx=8> is always 0 for me.

same for <#DavisReceptionPercent tx=8>

I have to use <#DavisTxRssi tx=2> and <#DavisReceptionPercent tx=2>

However, these are OK

<#DavisMaxInARow tx=8>
<#DavisTotalPacketsMissed tx=8>
<#DavisNumCRCerrors tx=8>
<#txbattery channel=8>


That's why it confused me..
