CMX showing contradictory values

Post by micc123 »

Hi,
I have recently changed from a fine offset station to Ecowitt WS980. I use the data download from the Ecowitt cloud. After some initial problems, Cumulus ((build 4070) is running more or less well. But there are a few problems:
- historic data are sometimes downloaded correctly, sometimes data are missing (they are in the cloud, but not in CMX)
- while the sunshine chart shows plausible values, the pages "Now" and "Today/yesterday" give crazy sunshine readings of up to 27 hours. It seems that data are not reset at midnight, but each day the sunshine hours are added to the ones of the previous day.
- in "Today / yesterday" the column for "yesterday" always shows "0" in every line. Low Humidity is regularly 0%, low pressure 0,0 hPa
- dashboard, gauges and today/yesterday regularly have bad readings for max/min, e.g. min- -6.3° instead of 0.2°. These bad readings do not appear in the charts. The charts sometimes have missing values (see above), but no incorrect data. I did set spike removal.
- There are no dayfiles anymore. The latest dates from one week ago. Monthly logs are fine, however.
Any ideas how to solve the problems?

Without seeing the logs, I can say that the most common reason for gaps in data and cloud catch-up not working is windows going to sleep. CMX must always be stopped before sleep or hibernate, it does not work properly otherwise.

Which station do you have exactly? By WS980 I assume you mean a WS90? But what base station/gateway do you have?

The Ecowitt Cloud station type should be last resort if either the base station does not support a local API/Custom server option, or the station runs remotely from Cumulus. The data update rate from the cloud is slow and you may miss the odd high/low
