How do I change this?

Post by water01 »

OK, we had one of these energy guys doing one of these Energy Perfomance surveys and he was also measuring the house. He was using one of these laser measures and it must have been on the same frequency as the wireless connection to the station as all hell broke loose with all sorts of alarms when he pressed it to measure the room and I have these massive spikes in my data for today (-69.2C :D etc.).
I wondered if anyone could tell me what do I need to edit to get rid of these anomalies.

An easier approach, if you (re)started Cumulus relatively recently, would be to try using the backup files that it created when you last started it. Stop Cumulus, and copy the files from the appropriate backup folder into the data folder, and start Cumulus again. You might find that the spikes don't get re-recorded that way.

Otherwise, you will probably have a number of files to edit; Aug11log.txt and today.ini, and the various 'highs and lows' files, depending on which version of Cumulus you're using. The formats of the files are in the wiki; for the 'highs and lows' you can use the built-in editor(s) or use the files from the backup.

Thank you Steve, restored files backed up from this morning and the spikes have disappeared. Using your Beta by the way on Dane's advice, he said it was stable for Fine Offset / EasyWeather station.

To many gizmos using all the same frequencies in beginning to be a pain in the neck. Never occured to me when he said he was going to use a laser measure that it would be on the same frequency as the weatherstation!!
