"Recent Extremes" error

[coroman]

I have Cumulus set up and operating well except that under "Recent Extremes" it shows today's readings but not yesterday's. This is happening only on an intermittent basis (perhaps every other day) so would be interested to know how this can be fixed.

It happens when the end of day rollover doesn't take place. The usual cause of this is allowing your PC to 'sleep' while Cumulus is running. If you're not doing that, please zip up the diags folder and attach it, and I'll take a look.

Thank you for your explanation of the problem. Yes, it appears that this is the case as when I leave the PC on overnight it records the previous day's readings.

You need to either turn off the 'sleep' settings on your PC, or make sure you close Cumulus down if the PC is likely to sleep. That way it will be able to catch up when you start it up again. It doesn't need to be running 24 hours a day (but that is better), but leaving it running when the PC goes to sleep will cause missed data.
