CMX not parsing negative values ??

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).

CMX not parsing negative values ??

Post by spatieman »

weard isue, and yes i am using a older version, 3.19.0 Build 3191

realtime.txt shows that it is -1.3 celcius here, what is correct.

Update to the current build first to start with?
Update is pretty painless: shutdown CMX, extract the distribution over the existing install (or extract and copy if you prefer), restart CMX.

Although I have no idea of the date of the b3191, please note that the changes between your version and the current may be considerable.

Note that the gauges btw are serviced by realtimegauges.txt and not by realtime.txt

That means it really must be a bug somewhere: if the temp chart and the gauges do not display the negative temperature but the realtime.txt and (I assume) the current values in the interface do display the negative values there is something definitely wrong.

If I were you I would switch on debug and data logging, run for a while and post the MXdiags logfile for that period and ask @mcrossley to look at it.
It is not as it should.

And indeed: update often is not a bad idea ;)

Your realtime.txt shows outside temperature 0.5 and so does gauges and charts. It is dewpoint that is -1.3.

What is really your problem? Is there communication between console and CMX? Or between console and sensor?

CMX has no problems with negative values. I have had CMX running for 6 years and have negative temperatures half the time.

i checked the file i had with all the explanations, your right.
this is weard..
my weather station show thecorrect value.
i know there is a ofset, but that is only 0.4 here in the cmx config, weard... i need to keep a eye on this,

-- edit--

i checked the settings again here..
think i found the bugger, my min limits where incorrect.
