Data coonnection stopped

I have updated from C1 to MX on my original Davis Vue station and this has been running well for around a month.

I have now added a new install of MX for the last week or so on another old windows 10 laptop. It is connected to a WS 90 via an HP 2560 console with the standard Ecowiit set up in MX. A couple of times yesterday and again this morning data has stopped being received by MX.Uploads to WU have continued without interuption.

I have attached the log file, any feedback would be appreciated.


Thanks

Hi,

These are not likely a cause of CMX not receiving data.

But these would be an issue

There are no diagnostics for this station type when the data stops. CMX like all the other programs just sits there listening for the console to send the data. If it stops, it stops, CMX has no control over that, unlike when it uses the local API when CMX actively polls for data and can check the state of the connection.

I can see that you (your console) still run(s) device firmware 1.8.1 while the latest version is 1.8.7 - I recommend to perform the upgrade.
Download from https://osswww.ecowitt.net/uploads/2022 ... V1.8.7.zip
Installation details (if not yet familiar)

firmware section
There were some WiFi stability issues in the past - so the firmware upgrade might help with your case.
