Wind chill conversion during outage
Posted: Wed 15 Jul 2015 5:15 pm
Steve,
I don't post on here a lot, but will in the future. Love the new work and keep on!
I found something that may be considered a defect (i'm a software QA engineer by trade, so we use funny terminology for 'bugs').
I noticed that Cumulus wasn't running for about 7 hours overnight; Microsoft installed updates for me (which I thought I had disabled). When I turned Cumulus back on about seven hours later, I have it set to retrieve all the backdata. It did that just fine.
When I went to charts on the dashboard, I noticed that the wind chill was showing, during this period, about 26 to 30 degrees fahrenheit. After it was logging live data, it was ok. It's been rather warm in my location for the last few days (upper 90s F).
When I looked at the logs, I realized that every wind chill entry matched the temperature entry, except in Celsius. Fine, easy enough fix by bringing the data into Excel, and just cloning the temp field to the windchill field and put back into the logs since windchill will NOT be a factor here for a while.
Just thought I would point that out. If you need the log, let me know. I'll zip up and post it.
Thanks again for a great piece of work.
