Missing UV Index and Solar Radiation Data

From Cumulus MX version 3 build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since, and has recently released Cumulus MX version 4. 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).

Missing UV Index and Solar Radiation Data

Post by jh1013@aol.com »

I have a Davis Vantage Pro 2 Plus and the UV Index and Solar Radiation data is not showing up in my Cumulus feed; I am using Cumulus MX v.4.1.1 build 4025. Can someone help me to get this data? Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi,
Is the ID set in Station Settings > as Primary Sensors?

Enjoy,
Paul

Maybe some settings missing?

Settings > Display Options > General Options > (to show data on your website)

Settings > Display Options > Data Visibility > Solar Data > turn them to "visible"

Settings > Station Settings > Davis Device > Primary Sensors > Solar & UV sensor ID's correct?

This is what I would look for, hope this helps.

Under Display Options>General Options: Display Solar Options and Display UV-1 Data are both on.
Under Display Options>Data Visibility>Solar Data: all are set to visible.
Under Station Settings>Davis Weatherlink Cloud (VP-2) I do not see a an option for "Primary Sensors." Is there another area where I would verify the Solar and UV sensor IDs?

Under Extra Sensors>Davis Airlink, there is an option "This AirLink has been added as a Node to my main WLL station," should this be checked? Weatherlink API and Weatherlink API Secret are currently populated here.

Hi,
OK, basics...
Is the UV and solar uploaded to your WLL Weatherlink.com account, or is it a WLC account as per previous discussion?
Can you provide the URL to your WL.com site(s).
Is solar and UV shown on the Weatherlink App for your WL.com station?
Can you zip and upload your MXDiags latest log file.

Enjoy,
Paul

Hi Paul -
I'm not sure of the difference between a WLL Weatherlink.com account, a WLC account. Here's the link to the "Bulletin" page of my Weatherlink account if that's what you're referring to as the URL to my WL.com site (I don't have a Website of my own).
Yes, solar and UV show up on my Weatherlink app.
Latest MXDiags file (December 3) is attached.
Thanks much for your help!

Please switch on debug and data logging, let MX run for 5 minutes, and then post the latest MXdiags file again please.

Hi Paul -
I'm not sure of the difference between a WLL Weatherlink.com account, a WLC account. Here's the link to the "Bulletin" page of my Weatherlink account if that's what you're referring to as the URL to my WL.com site (I don't have a Website of my own).
Yes, solar and UV show up on my Weatherlink app.
I didn't see the "bulletin" link but looking through the MXDiags, I think it is time for me to step aside and leave for Mark, as looks like you have more than one console uploading to WL.com and without more specific information which is going where, not sure which station type would be best for you to use with CMX. The UV and solar uploads to WL.com is shown in the MXDiags as available.

Code: Select all

2024-12-07 14:55:14.420 GetStations: Found WeatherLink station id = 182590, name = Eastbourne Spare
2024-12-07 14:55:14.420 GetStations: Found WeatherLink station id = 182594, name = Eastbourne Kingstowne
2024-12-07 14:55:14.420 GetStations: Setting WLL parent ID = 12598358
and have a WL.com Pro + subscription

Code: Select all

WeatherLink Console","relationship_type":"Owned","subscription_type":"Pro+"
And have selected Station type

Code: Select all

2024-12-07 14:55:13.703 Station type: 20 - Davis Cloud (VP2)
2024-12-07 14:55:13.869 Station type = Davis Cloud Station
And also have the new Weatherlink Console product_number":"6313" which is a separate WL.com upload and would normally use Station type Weatherlink Cloud (WLL/WLC) in CMX station settings.

Enjoy,
Paul
