Update time wrong

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).

Update time wrong

Post by Jmilesy »

Hi All,

for some reason, the last station update is about 4 hours behind local time.

the data is current data and is updating, it's just the time is strange.

have I missed a simple setting?

It looks as if your weather station time is set incorrectly, as both your local time and Cumulus time look to be okay. I don't know anything about the WH1080PC, so can't offer advice on how to correct the time on the weather station.

Hi, thank you for that.

the time is set correctly on the weather stations, and the time is exactly 4 hours out which is what I find strange.

Hi,

Yes, that is all set correctly.

I assume that is where it gets the local time from?

The weather stations manual (P.11 & 12 ) http://www.foshk.com/upload/manual/WH10 ... manual.pdf say the TZ should be -1 for GMT. (-4 is US Atlantic TZ)
