Odd behaviour, temperature jumps from current to +8C, hardware or software ?

Post by peo »

Hi,

I noticed this in my logs (also on the Web UI of Cumulus MX) at the server storing values in a database (among other things):

Code: Select all

Is there a log where I can see hardware issues/sensor contact issues, as it was in the classic version ("lost sensor contact", "data stopped .. someish").
Is there a way to tune the value that is shown/logged when the station is not responding ? +8 in this country (and almost at this time of year) is almost possible, but not a jump from -2 to +8 then back to -2. I would like the station to put something like 255 (or 127 if temperature is stored only as a byte) to be able to filter out incorrect values in my code.

Also the rainfall values are getting messed up by this error:
Rain Today 16,2 mm
Rain Rate 0,0 mm/hr
Rain Last Hour 8,4 mm
Rain Last 24 Hours 20013,9 mm
Rain Yesterday 5,1 mm
Rain This Month 21,3 mm
Rain This Year 21,3 mm

(no rain today, no rain yesterday, too cold to be raining this year)

I do not know what sort of station you have, but it could be it is receiving data from two different transmitters?

Log files are in the MXdiags subdirectory of your Cumulus installation. If you enable debug logging and data logging in the web UI then you will be able to see exactly what your station is sending.

It almost stopped when I asked about it. I had the debug and data logs enabled during the two last ones:

I also noticed that "intemp" jumps (down) when this happens, and "intemp" is from a sensor that's built in into the touch panel of the receiver.

In the debug logs, I find no "data stopped"/ "lost sensor contact" errors:

The only recurring warnings is that last one (outhum), but in my collected data "humidity" value is logged at these times.

Looks like your station is sending bad data for some elements. What type of station are you running?

It may be worth trying a reset of the console - batteries out, USB cord out for a few minutes, then power it up again.

However, be warned, that these old consoles sometimes start giving odd pressure values after doing this, and you may have to put a large offset in Cumulus to compensate.
