Cumulus Support

last 24/36 hours had a few times where the software has reported "lost connection with sensor" but, according to Wunderground and PWS, ALL readings have been received at the times of connection losses? I am running 1.89, i do wonder if I should upgrade to the latest "internet" version in case its a software v hardware fault?


NOT a complaint, just wondering if anyone else had similar problems, clearly the software is still sending the full data to the internet regardless of the fact that its saying its not reading a sensor?

Lost sensor contact is between the outdoor unit and the display unit. The most common cause is the battery getting weak in the outdoor unit, although mine can occasionally miss an update if it is hunting for a weak time sync signal at a bad time.

But that would mean a failure in any data being received, which as said, isn't happening, the data (all of it) is being uploaded to the websites fine?, as for batteries, I do realise they always play a factor, but the system is less than 1 month old, the batteries (duracell) were brand new, and yeah I know new means nothing these days.

Presumably then, your loss of contact is intermittent. Loss of contact for a protracted period of time would result in dashes appearing on the console display, and the data in Cumulus (and hence on web site uploads) 'flat-lining'. As long as the data is getting through some of the time, then the display will continue to be updated with the data that does get through.

Ermm, about an hour at time mate, this is what i get, but yeah the data is still getting there, and the program is running on an unused computer, so being able to SEE it, is not really a problem

Yes, I see. So for the whole of that period, Cumulus will just be re-using the last good data for all but the internal sensors. If you look at your WU archive, or the Cumulus log file, you should see that most of the data stays the same.
