Which USB-Serial Adapter and driver for ElCap

do you mean you are using a Y splitter?

Yes, both machines are fed the same data stream through a y cable.

I should be able to fix the average speed not working
I suspect that there might be some data packets missed (i.e missed syncing) ,re the max gust

try, re the average speed, as a test:
http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/weatherdisplaymaczip.zip
and unzip that exectutable file to the
/Applications/weatherdisplay.app/Contents/MacOS/
folder

I only have a console here, no actual windspeed or temp/hum unit (but I might be able to get that at some stage to help in testing/improvements)

Sorry but no difference.

Average Wind Speed isn’t changing, most of the graphs aren’t plotting and my Maximum and Minimum Temperatures aren’t changing and show no timestamp.

humm
what I will need to try and do (since I do not have all the hardware) is spoof that I have actual data
if you set to log the raw data…see under setup, advanced/misc
and then email me the rawultimeterdata.txt file that should be created

try a new full download of the latest mac version (build 284)

After about 5 minutes, I can see an Average Wind Speed. What time period is that based on? I’ll let it run and compare it to the Windows version after it’s accumulated more data.

The Maximum Temperature is now showing with a timestamp but Minimum Temperature doesn’t seem to be updating and I’m not seeing a timestamp for it.

I’m also not seeing Yesterday’s rain total.

Graphs now appear to be updating as well.

Great progress!

its a rolling average, calculated at every update (last 60 readings)

Things are starting to look really promising.

My graphs are updating and my internet functions have started working as well. I’m now receiving weather reports and the webpage is updating.

Still not seeing the minimum temperature updating. Seems to be stuck on -1.2deg C with no timestamp. If I scroll down on the webpage to the chart which shows today’s and yesterday’s totals, I see -1.2deg C as the Daily Low Temperature at the time the webpage was last updated even though the current temperature is 8.9deg C.

Yesterday’s rain isn’t showing up on the screen but I’ll wait until tomorrow to see if it shows up. The same chart is showing the correct value of 1.0mm.

try resetting the daily minimum
via action, reset selected daily max/min

That worked.

Next question:

Under Control Panel/Warning Alerts E-Mail, I cannot set the Minimum Temperature Threshold below 0.

My units are set to Celsius if that makes a difference.

that is a bug
I can fix that for the next update

I’m about 95% there. The final days of my Windows setup are nearing.

Two more things:

From what I’ve read, the weather gizmo isn’t available?

I’m not having any luck with the Weather Alert email. Running it from a terminal window gives me this:

Email warning send vers 1.0
data to send
date in email is 04/06/17
Using mail server 192.168.0.2
sending email to
Socket Error # 9
Bad file number.
Failed to connect to server

My regular Weather Report email works fine.

maybe its a problem with the port number?
what sort of email server, etc?

Port number is 25. Exact same setup as the weather report email.

The server is the native OSX server running on the same machine as Weather Display.

This is also the exact same setup as the Windows machine is using.

The bad file number makes me wonder if Weather Display is not generating the email to send?

what I mean is, is it a email server that needs SSL or some other security (that is not supported)

No, it requires nothing special.

Exact same settings as the Weather Report email.

If it required something special or not supported, I would think that the Weather Report emails wouldn’t be working.

If I check my mail log, I don’t see any connect attempt at all.

Is a file generated that cronwarning email sends? Is this file generation failing so the cron job has nothing to send and aborts?

ah
I missed that cronemail is working OK
but cronwarningemail is not
yes?

Yes.
