Today and Yesterday

Post by AndyW »

I have found that if I do not download data from the weather station for a few days that under Recent Extremes "Today" still shows data whereas "Yesterday" shows no data. This is confusing as the data of the last data is not shown either.

There's probably been some sort of problem downloading the data from the logger, so it hasn't been able to do the day rollover properly. Zip up the contents of the diags folder and attach it, and I'll see if I can see what the problem is.

Steve,

By choice I don't download data every day, sometimes it's a few days gap as PC is not lefy on.
This is why I have noticed that the display does not actually correspnd to the date of the last data.

Your station logger holds data for at least the last two weeks, depending on the interval you've set it to log at. So even if you go a few days between running Cumulus, it should be able to 'catch up' by downloading the data from the logger.

So, if you zip up the diags folder and attach it here, I should be able to see why it's apparently not doing that.

The data is downloaded OK when the weather station is attached.
I do not attach the weather station every day.
When it has not been attached for a couple of days Cumulus shows data under "Today" and no data under "Yesterday" even though the last data it has is from 2 or 3 days ago.

One of us is clearly not understanding what the other one is saying! I can't think of any other way of saying what I said in my previous post.

Are you saying that for some reason you have set Cumulus to not use the data from the logger, but still want it to handle that nicely?
