WD and Cronweeatherflow - Solved

Yes updated with the latest version 296 on 21 Sept Cron version 1.5
Yes everything else is in metric and recording OK

is the rain amount in the separate cronweatherflow correct?
the more information you can provide the better

No there is not rain total in the cron at all. the only rain that showed up in cron was in the last reading where it shows 3 decimal places for rain and that did look like rainfall rate not total, when it stopped raining that column went clear. There is a column space above that which has only – and nothing else i.e reading from the top we have … e.g 0.0 C, 0 %, 0.0 hpa, 0.0 m/s, 0.0 m/s, 0.0 o, 0.0 w/2, 0 uv, —, 0.000 mm. Is there something missing between uv and rain and with metric do we need 3 decimal places in rain?
I have sent some attachments of WD, Cron & WF on my post on Oct 3 apart from that I’ll have to wait for the next rain event to send you another update, hopefully some time this week
Regards

yes, that many decimal places are needed as the rain sensor is very sensitive
one thing, is your WF Hub raining the latest firmware update?
also is it vers 1.5 of the WD cronweatherflow program?

what I can try/test here is to tap the guy wires to cause false rain to test here with my WF station

the missing data , the — , is just the time…I had not added in the code to convert that to local time (its in UTC time), that is all

I think the problem is WD linux version is missing the rain
the rain data is a kind of rain rate, that comes from the WF sensor
I will try increasing the freq of reading the data

that looks to have helped a lot here in testing
download a new update, ready now…

thank for the explanation on that, yes running cron version 1.5 and yes the hub is the latest update
I will download the update and let you know how it is performing when we get some rain
Regards

P.S. I apologize for the extra workload that you are getting :smiley:

a small rain event this morning WF 0.6mm WD 0.1mm

it recorded the same here for my WF station in testing
(i.e I created false rain by tapping the WF station)
maybe if you could .zip and email me your settings files

we have rain at times here today (we need it)
so I am testing…

Hi I went out and tapped it and it recorded the same as WF so maybe just a hiccup this morning
we are expecting more rain this week I’ll keep an eye on it

I have found what the problem is now
download a new update
:wink:

Hi Brian I have downloaded the new update, will keep you informed
Thanks very much :smiley:

Hi Brian

John :smiley:

I Have made some more improvements to how rain is handled now, latest update :slight_smile:

Thanks Brian I have downloaded the latest update
We had some much needed rain yesterday but WD was not reporting the same as WF, very much under reporting
More rain expected next week I’ll let you know how it goes :slight_smile:

it should be OK this latest update hopefully now
(i took my SKY unit off my mast so I could test more easily)

Thanks Brian greatly appreciated :slight_smile:
