Pressure Alarm since upgrade

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).

Pressure Alarm since upgrade

Post by flort »

I upgraded to Build 3204 a couple of days ago and when I restarted Cumulus it triggered a Pressure alarm for drop in pressure by more than 5 hPa/hr. At the time the pressure was dropping quite quickly (although not at that rate) so I didn't think too much of it. Yesterday I restarted Cumulus again and got the same alarm and by now the pressure was on the way back up.

I've now just upgraded to Build 3205 and upon restart I am still getting the Pressure alarm. I've got no idea what is triggering this. I turned on debug but I can't see anything in there pointing to the reason. I've attached the MXdiag file and would appreciate if someone could have a look at it for me.

Regards,
Trevor

Just a thought.

The log shows it's not getting any historic data from the weatherlink - is the alarm triggered by the first valid reading which may be above whatever CMX is taking as the default value?

EDITED: I have found a solution to this issue which occurs when the trend values for temperature and pressure are calculated before any temperature or pressure data has been read from the station or catch-up.
