Switch debug logging on, restart CMX, then post the log file after 10 minutes or so.

Station is a fine offset device, forgot to mention it.

OK, some crazy data coming through from the console there.

Can you switch of the Synchronise reads settings. Restart CMX again, and post the log after that please.

ok.
update.
seems to be stable now.
glad i have some knowledge on manipulating the mySQL database, so i could fix the 999.9 on a mass update query.

There is still something very odd going on.

The console keeps changing the data block it says is the current one. It keeps reverting to block 0x0000, from in the first logs address 0x1030, and the second log address 0x1060

That constant changing of the block address is what confused the synchronisation code.

The console should keep reporting the same block address until it records an archive interval, then it should move to the next address. Yours is reverting randomly to address 0x0000. When the synchronisation was occurring that happened every other read of the station - that is once a second.

Your logging interval is set to 30 minutes, so the block address should only change every 30 minutes. :?

i guess that is the con point of a "cheap" weather station (i bought it in 2016 for 160 euro)
so it is not state of the art like a Davis (god, i would love to get my hands on one !)

I've put an "escape" into the synchronisation code, so if it fails twice it will give up. This should help stop the station working completely in situations like yours.
