Cumulus Support

I've just had to clean out my rain gauge and forgot to shutdown my station and cumulus. I removed a few entries for rainfall added from my "cleanup" of my sensor and now I've noticed that the Month and Year rainfall totals are missing from the main Cumulus screen.

I did have a read through the FAQ and determined these totals are calculated from the dayfile.txt file? I've attached the diags and dayfile.txt. I can't see what the problem is as there are daily rainfall totals in there from back in January.

When using the View > This Year menu, the correct yearly rainfall total is shown (35.7mm). In the diagnostics file it also reads 6/04/2015 22:31:26.340 : Rainthisyear from dayfile.txt: 35.7000007629395. This looks correct but still no yearly (or monthly) rainfall total is shown. Help!

The rain figures on the main screen are updated each time Cumulus receives a rain reading from the station. So it probably isn't receiving any rain readings. If you turn on the debug log for a few minutes - long enough such that one or two rain readings should have arrived - the debug.log file will show the data packets that the console has sent.

That was the problem. I noticed the rainfall sensor to the base station seemed to have dropped off so once I sorted that the totals came back. I wasn't aware Cumulus needs to be reading this to display the totals.

Thanks for your help Steve.
