Live update on the WL App does not work for me 99% of time, very occasionally it has worked briefly. I *can* make it work 100% of time though by running another app* at the same time.

* DS Audio by Synology Inc. The app does not have to be logged in or even configured, just running on the phone.

I don't understand how the app can be so bad?

Today of all days, it doesn't update any faster than about 20 seconds, despite the word 'Live' being there. Yet, Cumulus MX can get the readings every 2.5 seconds, with no issues..

Yep - Did nothing for me.

:(

Though I found the other day whether that app makes it work or not does seem to depend which WiFi access point I am attached to (I run a mesh system). Most of the time I am on the same node as the WLL. Though Cumulus MX successfully listens to exactly the same multi-casts as the WL App, and that is always on a different mesh node from the WLL. :groan:

(pixel 5)

Runs with no issues and updates almost as fast as the VP2 Console.

I just need to get a better mast for my anemometer onky got up to 47mph recorded today (but a station record for me)

No different today after rebooting everything.

Says live but updates mainly every 20 seconds on average.

It started off fine when I bought the WLL, so I thought the issues had been fixed.. but they haven't. The same thing happened when I got a WLL the first time around. Nothing on my network has changed..

I've just noticed, when I open the weatherlink app, I get this in my logs:

Code: Select all

2022-02-19 11:11:58.224 GetWllCurrent: Error processing WLL response
2022-02-19 11:11:58.224 GetWllCurrent: Error: The underlying connection was closed: The connection was closed unexpectedly.
2022-02-19 11:12:07.111 GetWllCurrent: Error processing WLL response
2022-02-19 11:12:07.111 GetWllCurrent: Error: The underlying connection was closed: The connection was closed unexpectedly.
2022-02-19 11:13:10.888 GetWllCurrent: Error processing WLL response
2022-02-19 11:13:10.888 GetWllCurrent: Error: The underlying connection was closed: The connection was closed unexpectedly.
^ That shows up every one minute if I have the app open. CMX is also getting stuck and not showing data every 2.5 seconds, not all the time, but randomly..

I've also found a bunch of these:

Code: Select all

2022-02-19 10:52:45.740 ZeroConfig Service: WLL service has been removed!
2022-02-19 10:52:47.755 ZeroConf Service: WLL found, reporting its IP address as: 192.168.1.102
2022-02-19 11:18:31.508 ZeroConfig Service: WLL service has been removed!
2022-02-19 11:18:35.256 ZeroConf Service: WLL found, reporting its IP address as: 192.168.1.102
I honestly lose my rag with this WLL. It is so unreliable! The app is a complete waste of time if "Live" doesn't work. CMX is logging lots of multicast errors etc
I got rid of the WLL the first time, as it was pointless having it with its unreliability.

@mapantz

Do you have the WLL Hardwired, or are you using Wi-Fi?
And have you tried a Wired connection?

I know it's not my phone, or any other Android device, as I have tested on many. I do remember last time, the app was fine on my brother's iPhone. I kept on at Davis about this, and it seemed as though they fixed it, but no, exactly the same issue has appeared again. If you read the comments on the Play store, hundreds of reviews say the same thing.. I'm quite surprised it has a rating of 3 stars if I am honest!
