[Rejected] WLL - Get Archive records from console
Posted: Sat 18 Jul 2020 8:28 am
I want to move my Solar and UV sensors to a pole up on the roof and plug into the wind transmitter I have got. However to be able to access the solar / UV readings I either need to use the Moteino Relay device (that Mark wrote code for), or a WLL.
I have been playing around with the Moteino, and though I seem to have it working, I get re-syncs occasionally, and am worried that I may miss / loose data.
I like the ide of the WLL, but not the yearly subscription fee. The main reason for getting the subscription would be to read "archive" data if the Cumulus PC (or software) was down for any reason for a while.
Having already got a logger for the console, I was wondering if there was any way that cumulus could be set up for WLL for "live" data, but use the console to read "archive" data on start up. That way a WLL pro subscription wouldn't be required.
One way to do it manually would be to see what the difference there is in the cumulus ini file for when it's configured for a WLL vs the console. And set the ini file for the console on start up after a period of cumulus being down, read the archive data from it, and then after shut down cumulus and put the ini file back for the WLL and start up again to then read live data from the WLL.
I'm probably in a minority here, but it's just a suggestion: WLL - live data, console - Archive data.

(by the way, I already read data from the console Via a IP as I use a Meteobridge, so it may just be something as simple as changing the IP from the WLL to Meteobridge back to WLL again).
