Night time Metar Icon...
« on: September 20, 2008, 02:08:51 AM »
My icon from metar for night time only isnt working. My icon is showing Clear Sky's, but the metar is Overcast. WD is showing overcast for my metar under view/metar images., so i know thats correct. On my banner Icon and on my main screen in Wd its showing clear. I do have a solar sensor, but cant remember how to set to use local metar for night time. Thanks, Mark.

In my solar setup, i have "use metar for night time"

check these settings.... Control Panel > Solar Sensor > Thresholds/Icon/Solar Description. Do you have a check mark by 'include Metar cloud at night time' ?

Thanks Bill,....Yes i do..but i may have a conflict in settings....i also have "include wd conditions at nightime" checked..SS attached below. But if i uncheck that, that wont affect any of my data from my house will it? i just want the Metar icon and thats all for night time...

Those settings should only affect the icon. I don't think that you can use BOTH WD's and the Metar icon. You will have to uncheck one of them. Also, it wouldn't hurt to do a save/exit/restart after to make sure.

My clientraw file.. http://www.snoqualmieweather.com/clientraw.txt is showing night/overcast.. and also showing on my site. But its not showing night/overcast for the WD icon or on my banner. kind of odd cause it is showing as overcast in the clientraw file.

Glad you got it working! Now if we can get one of the guru's to create and add a nighttime/overcast icon, we'll have it all.

Is there a Number in the clientraw that sets Sunrise or Sunset Icon? if there is what number is it? Or is that just based off of your long and lat.? Thanks, Mark.
