Weather Underground Catch Up 1 minute not 5 minute interval?

[William Grimsley]

Hi there,

My PC turned off during the night and I found that when Cumulus went to catch up the data to Weather Underground, WOW and PWS (though PWS Weather doesn't seem to catch up). It catches up in 1 minute intervals not 5 minute intervals like Cumulus does when it catches up. Can this interval be changed?

Thanks,

William

It uploads one 'catch up' entry for each entry it downloads from the logger at start up; it doesn't make sense to do it any other way as in the general case that would mean trying to interpolate or extrapolate entries at one interval into entries at a different interval.

So my guess would be that you have your station's logger interval set to one minute?

I think you're right about PWS Weather; it seems that only WU actually does anything with retrospectively uploaded data.

Ok, thanks.

No, my station's logger interval is set to 5 minutes like my website.

If you zip up the diags folder and attach it, I'll take a look.

Really? Not on my data log interval... It shows 5 minutes.

Really? Not on my data log interval... It shows 5 minutes.

If you mean the logging interval in Cumulus, that's nothing to do with the logging interval in your station. That's why the Cumulus documentation says you should set them to the same value, because they are two different settings. If you want to change your station's interval, the easiest way is to use Weatherlink, although I seem to remember that with a Vue you can do it directly on the console?

Hi Steve,

Oh, I see...

After I sent that message I did go into Weatherlink and changed the archive interval from 1 minute to 5 minutes. Hopefully, that changes the catch up intervals.

Thanks for your help Steve,
