Hi Steve,
I have V1.8.4 and had a glitch of comms between my WH1081 and Cummulus today. I want Cummulus to reload data from 10:30am today. I have removed data lines from Day09log.txt later than Dec 13th 10:30 and edited the today.ini file Timestamp to be Dec 13th 10:30 but when Cummulus starts ity doesn't download from 10:30 to now. Not sure what else I have to do ?
Regards,
Andrew

So I am guessing something in my today.ini is wrong and causing Cummulus to ignore the historic data as it reads it. Don't know what outhum = 255 means ?

Your outside humidity is reading 255 which is an 'underflow' value. You're using a very old version of Cumulus which doesn't know about this value, treats it as corrupt data, and ignores the entire history record.

Thanks Steve. I upgraded to the latest version and re-ran. Now I got an error saying the outside temperature was too low and therefore Cumulus was ignoring the data. So it seems the data is corrupt in the WH1081 and therefore I dont think I can do anything that !

It does sound like it; the outside temperature is the next one it checks after humidity. It sounds like the memory has been reset to all FF's (hence the 255 for humidity). Ignoring all of the data when one value is clearly wrong is a sort of safety feature; in all the examples I saw when I was trying to get Cumulus to cope with the foibles of the Fine Offset stations, when one value was duff, the others were also suspicious.
