Last Rainfall still not working

[The Dalek Hunter]

I have the latest version of CumulusMX running on a Raspberry Pi.
I have a Vantage Pro2 connected to Cumulus via a WeatherLink Live.
My setup is a mixed units ie 'C for the temp and inches for the rain etc.

With no tweaks or modifications and a clean install of CumulusMX the last rainfall is not being updated.

The only way it gets updated is if I delete all the data from the data folder and reboot.

It seems to work fine on WeeWX running on a Raspberry Pi 4 https://longsutton-weather.co.uk but not on my Cumulus setup

Can you run Cumulus using the -debug command line parameter, then post a log showing the issue please. I thought 3.8.2 would fix this issue - obviously not

Don't know whether it is relevant or not, but my MX just missed updating the last rainfall time. It is currently set to 08:05 today, but the last tip (looking at the graph) was at 11:28 today. Running v 3.8.2 build 3092.

Mine is doing it as well now, looks like i cocked it up good and proper

Found the problem, I was using the VP Rain Gauge type in the logic - but that is an optional read-only setting, so isn't set for most people, including me

I have a day offline tomorrow, back on Thursday afternoon when I'll look at the SFTP issue in another thread and I can find and fix that in a reasonable time frame get a patch release out to resolve these issues.

I look forward to the fix - many thanks

Having put

VPrainGaugeType=0

In the Station setting of Cumulus.ini and restarting last rain now works fine

Thanks

[mcrossley]

Yeah, that would fix it. The new release (v3.8.3) should fix it without having to set that custom value.

I've still got a problem with this, although I haven't recorded any rain since I upgraded. Will it reset on the next tip?

[mcrossley]

Yes, it is only set when a tip occurs.

Okay, thank you.
