Sunshine Hours Tag

Hi there!

I bought a new PC a few weeks, but the one thing I forgot to do, was turn off 'reboot after updates' and the login screen at start. - it rebooted during the night, but it was obviously stuck at the login screen since 3am. I haven't lost any data of course, but I was wondering how it works with the <#SunshineHours> web tag? There was sunshine for a few hours this morning, before it clouded over, and then it came back out around 10:30am. The solar data looks fine, but the <#SunshineHours> web tag is only returning 0.9hrs - which is right for the period when I got CMX running again. It isn't massively important, I was just wondering if it only calculates it while CMX is running?

Kind regards.

It should also calculate it from the logger data (using the logger interval) and I'm pretty sure that Cumulus 1 did it correctly. It's possible I've forgotten to write the code for it in MX - I'll check and let you know.

Yes, I wrote the code to update sunshine hours from logger data for Fine Offset stations, but not for Davis stations. Fixed in the next build!
