b3182 rain and solar hour issues

[Gyvate]

1. (reported before already) Sunshine Hours
when backfilling from the Ecowitt cloud the sunhours are not taken from my connected B-L SunRecorder but some other values calculated which are systematically higher than the B-L SR values. When the B-L SR option is set, it would be better to use "0.0" and I can edit the 23:59 record for each day and the dayfile.txt entry (if the backfill goes over more than one day) rather than having wrong values.

Ideally a path to the B-L SR file system with the daily values could be given (if on the same server as CMX) and the values taken from there (if the day backfilled is < current day. If current day use, the current SRsunshine.dat file).

2. yearly rain at startup
my CMX installation with a GW1000 1.7.2 connected does not report the yearly rain in the dashboard even though found in the CMX log files.
CMX tries to execute the CMD_READ_RAIN (even though no WS90 was found at startup), and fails (to be expected) - might this be connected to the issue ?
When I activate my WS90 with the GW1000, the yearly rain is properly shown.
Is it possible that CMX tries to find the yearly values from the CMD_READ_RAIN reply rather than from the CMD_GW1000_LIVEDATA replay also when no WS90 is connected ? And then gives up, puts zero, because the 0x57 call fails ?

1. I'll investigate, I thought the B-L sun hours was handled automatically in the solar code independent of the station type, obviously something is wrong here.

2. I think you are misunderstanding the use of the rain values.

CMX does not know anything about the yearly total other than from adding up the daily totals in the day file, and possibly adding a correction value for a part year. It does not use your stations "yearly total" as *the* yearly total. The value from the station is simply used as an incrementing counter to determine changes in the totals.

The local API station code does not call CMD_READ_RAIN if your rain sensor is set to traditional/tipper.
(the next update outputs a message on start-up to show which type has being configured)

[Gyvate]

I don't think I'm confusing or misunderstanding - I'm just reporting facts
same installation and data base:
without WS90 connected - no yearly rain shown
with WS90 connected - yearly rain shown

that in itself is a striking observation - independent of my understanding

as you can see from the logs below the yearly rain is very well properly calculated from the dayfile - but not displayed when the WS90 is not connected

in addition the rain preference in the GW1000 set is traditional - with and without the WS90 connected

The local API station code does not call CMD_READ_RAIN if your rain sensor is set to traditional/tipper.

the log below says something else (red)

so something is not working properly
and the only change between the two setups is a(n additional) WS90 connected or not connected

The local API station code does not call CMD_READ_RAIN if your rain sensor is set to traditional/tipper.

the log below says something else (red)

No it doesn't, it shows your PWS is not configured with a WS90, it does not show what CMX is configured with (which is why I already added a new message to log indicating what is configured as for the next release).

The fact that CMX is sending CMD_READ_RAIN requests tells me CMX is configured to use the piezo rain sensor. It is a dynamic setting, I can switch it to piezo and the CMD_READ_RAIN requests are sent, change the station config to traditional and they stop.


BTW, I have found the issue with the sunshine during catch-up with B-L configured, it is fixed in the next patch release.

I see the logic used in the program, but
imo, independent of what the rain sensor it set to in the station settings, the yearly rain from the dayfile should be displayed.
And that's not the case. If the constellation is piezo in the station settings and no WS90 connected, it shows "0.0".
This doesn't make much sense as I could switch between sensors (trad./piezo), but my yearly rain totals should be kept.
The rain recorded over the year does not disappear only because I change my sensor.

[mcrossley]

Yeah, the way it works at the moment is the yearly rain value (and monthly etc) is not set until contact is first made with the station rain sensor.

I'm not sure if there is a reason it was coded like this, but I can look into it. The rainfall handling code is a bit tortuous.
