No rain data from WLL

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

No rain data from WLL

Post by avpman »

NOOB here so please excuse me if I did something dumb. My CumulusMX logs and dials show no rainfall. But if I go on my Davis WLL site it does indeed show rainfall for today. CumulusMX is connected to the Davis WLL 6102 device. :?

Have you set the rain sensor to the correct transmitter id in the config?

if that is correct...
Please switch on data logging and after it has run for another 5-10 mins then post the latest MXdiags file here - you can switch then off the logging.

Rain sensor ID: Do you mean this setting in the CumulusMX settings page (please see attached)
Data logging: Please excuse my ignorance, where do I switch on "data logging?" If you mean the "Dayfile Viewer/Editor," it currently shows all zeros in the rainfall data columns.

Cumulus is not receiving any broadcast messages from your WLL station.

I'd check first that your WiFi network is set the "Private", not "Public"

If it's not receiving any broadcast then where is the other data coming from? www.varrone.net/weather

It reads the station directly every so often. But those responses are also erroring.

Please switch on debug AND data logging, leave it half and hour this time and the send the file again.
