Sun Shine Light

On the bottom of the cumulus display, there is a YELLOW light that comes on when the sun should be shining.
What triggers this?
I have a solar sensor, but the light never comes on when there is plenty of direct sun light.
Is this time based or sensor based?

The Cumulus Help file has quite a good explanation of how it is triggered, in the Configuration/Station section.

Ok,
Figured out the console part, what trips the light in the SS gauges?

The gaugeGlobal values at lines 100, 101

Code: Select all

            sunshineThreshold      : 50,    // the value in W/m² above which we can consider the Sun to be shining, *if* the current value exceeds...
            sunshineThresholdPct   : 75,    // the percentage of theoretical solar irradiance above which we consider the Sun to be shining

Thanks Mark,
Have to tinker a bit with it, lots of clouds today so hard to catch it when the sun is actually shining on the solar detector.
