For the past days, some tags that used to contain data are now empty of data such as (as of today, November 11 at 01:10):
maxhourrnt
maxhumyest
maxhumyestt
minbaroyest
minbaroyestt
The only change I made to my system was to update Weather Display to the latest release (ie: build 83, dated November 5, 2018).
I am running the same version/build of Weather Display on two different computers and the same tags are missing values (the tags are empty) on both computers.
What/where should I look for a cause to the problem, for a solution?
It seems the above mentioned tags have been ‘disappearing’ with one of the latest updates of Weather display.
Other than the update to the latest releases of Weather Display, nothing (none of the settings) has been changed.
Jerry, thank you for the suggestion … but even after installing the latest update of Weather Display (dated November 9th), I am still getting many tags that are empty, whereas, a weeks or so ago, those tag contained data!
On computer #1 (where I run Weather Display to provide data for my local/development web pages), the tags that used to contain data and that are now empty of data are (as of today, November 11 at 10:00)(the data has been ‘disappearing’ from even more tags since yesterday):
highbaro
highbarot
highhumt
lowhumt
maxheat
maxhourrnt
maxhumyest
maxhumyestt
maxwindchill
maxwindchillt
minbaroyest
minbaroyestt
mindew
mindewt
minheat
minwindch
minwindcht
On computer #2 (where I run Weather Display to upload data to my old web site and to some online weather providers), the tags that used to contain data and that are now empty of data are (as of today, November 11 at 10:00):
maxgsthrtime
maxgustlastimediatehourtime
As I wrote in my previous message, I have not changed any of Weather Display’s settings for weeks if not months (on either of the computers).
So, my question, what/where should I look for a cause to the problem, for a solution?
Those missing tags are really ‘destroying’ the appearance of my web pages… :x
Hi have just tested the tags from your list on my test / backup unit all work with latest 83 build from 9 November except %maxgsthrtime% which on checking the testtags.txt should be %maxgustlastimediatehourtime%
Brian, I have the latest version, the one that was updated on November 12.
Did not fix!
On the ‘Extra Daily High/Low Weather Parameters’ window, there are many boxes without any value under the columns for yesterday.
Here are the tags that are ‘still’ missing some data (either a value or a time or both are missing)(as of 05h45 on November 12 PST):
maxbaroyest = yesterday high barometer value
maxbaroyestt = yesterday high barometer time
maxgustlastimediatehourtime = max gust last prior 1 hour time
maxhourrnt = maximum rain last hour for the day time
minchillyest = yesterday’s minimum wind chill value
minchillyestt = yesterday’s minimum wind chill time
mindewyest = yesterday’s minimum dew point value
mindewyestt = yesterday’s minimum dew point time
minheatyest = yesterday’s minimum heat index value
mintempyestt = yesterday’s minimum temperature time
What is really really odd is that the two copies (same version number) of Weather Display that I am running on two different computers (with no interaction between each computers) have started producing the same empty tags at the same time! 8O
What else could I checked, could one data file (or more) produced by Weather Display got corrupted? The tags without value are really messing up my web pages.
My Weather Display is producing two different variables using the same tag - I should have quoted the variable ‘’$maxgustlastimediatehourtime’ which is produced by the tag ‘%maxgustlastimediatehourtime%’ rather than the variable ‘$maxgsthrtime’ which is also produced by the tag ‘%maxgustlastimediatehourtime%’. Sorry.
Both tags have data again - I guess that some time was needed for all the ‘broken’ tags to ‘mend’ themselves.
Brian, what do you think might have caused those specific tags to suddenly go empty, at the same time on two computers (same operating system Windows 10 Pro but very different hardware) running the same version of Weather Display?
