That's what I had it set to previously and it always gave a value of 0.0. I will take a look tomorrow.ConligWX wrote: ↑Tue 06 Apr 2021 7:13 pm look at the CumulsuMX Webtags, which I generate from CumulusMX each time I start the program shows
so changing to THWIndex will make the tag null and void. Unless Mark can tell me otherwise. the attached file was created today with 3.10.5 build 3122Code: Select all

Re: THW index always reads 0.0 on default site
Until I saw it on Weatherlink Live, I never knew there was a THW Index. I guess it's for those who don't own a Solar Radiation sensor? As THSW Index works just fine.

I don't know, sorry. It's not something I really look at - Michael pointed out to me, otherwise I would never have noticedmcrossley wrote: ↑Tue 06 Apr 2021 7:30 pm Hmm, I must have misread the src code, could have sworn it was a capital I, but no it looks like it was correct with a lower case.
I'll have a look later and see if I can see anything causing it to be zero. Any idea how long it c has been reporting zero? I don't recall the VP2 code changing in some time.

I can confirm this - in the default website the THW Index is zero whereas WeatherLink is showing 1

Re: THW index always reads 0.0 on default site
OK, a mini mystery. The value for THW is not set anywhere in the Cumulus MX code!
Nor is it defined in the Davis serial protocol as being a value that can be downloaded.
I have no idea why it is there, nor why it found its way on to the default web site.
THSW is defined and is set by Cumulus if you have a solar sensor - though it is not recorded in the logger, so it not available during catch-up.

Re: THW index always reads 0.0 on default site
Interesting that no one has noticed this anomaly as yet. Guessing this was added only to the new Website Template? fact a Webtag is available makes me think its been there for sometime.mcrossley wrote: ↑Wed 07 Apr 2021 10:58 am OK, a mini mystery.

Re: THW index always reads 0.0 on default site
It would be a good idea if people were to read the documentation, before designing new web pages for MX.
Davis web tags are explained at https://cumuluswiki.org/a/Webtags#Davis.
If you look at the page history, it was on 5 October 2011, that "mcrossley" added that "Davis" section into the webtags page of the Wiki. I guess his text came from the "webtags beta" page, and I imagine that beta page had used text from a build announcement by Steve Loft.
I amended it on 13 April 2015 to record at which version Steve Loft added the tags (I have tried hard to make the Wiki useful for people who have not upgraded as well as those using latest release). The terminology explanation I added to the documentation (taken directly from explanatory text written by Steve Loft in the support forum) clearly stated that THW is read from the Davis DLL. The Davis DLL is used only for the legacy Cumulus 1.9.4. If you look at the table at https://cumuluswiki.org/a/Webtags#Davis, you will see I actually added a column headed "Applicability", it clearly shows that THW index is not applicable to MX.
I did make further changes to this wiki page on 12 July 2020, adding what Mark had said in his release announcements about new web tags for Davis and Davis WLL, but I know these were later "fixed" by Mark, and now I avoid Wiki updates re functionality that I do not use.
Perhaps somebody who uses a Davis can spend some time creating/amending other pages in the Wiki, because I am sure there is a lot to document/update.

Re: THW index always reads 0.0 on default site
What, read documentation, what a sacrilege!
I do have a Davis Vantage Pro2 using WLL, however the WebTag creation via "ListWebTags=1" creates a tag called THWindex so it is hard coded into CumulusMX v3.1x. there maybe some work around for this to either be removed or adjust who sees this tag value at all.

Re: THW index always reads 0.0 on default site
I will remove all trace of THW Index from the next release - the simplest option!
