Re: [weewx-user] Re: Why the rain 'spikes'?

[Bob Atchley]

After a long wait for the weather station console data buffer to be full, 
and a shorter wait for some rain I can now report that I have been able to 
repeat the rain spikes issue.  

The data buffer simply stops being written when it is full, but the console 
has some sort of 'feature' that if the data buffer is full the first proper 
packet it sends includes the rain (but the logic of how much rain is 
reported escapes me - if it was rain since midnight it could have been 
useful, but it isn't) with a 0.0 rain rate the second packet has 0.0 rain 
and a positive rain rate.

I have put a fix in the WS6in1 driver (1.05) to suppress the first 2 
packets, so the spikes are no longer present.

But the real fix is the user needs to manually empty the console data 
buffer periodically

Hope this helps

Bob

Ahh, so the console shows the battery status but it doesn't send the 
message anywhere and it can't be read? 

Alright, thanks for all the clarifications.

Unfortunately the interface from the Bresser PC console doesn't include the 
battery status - so not provided because its not available (i wish it was, 
a silly oversight)

Why 5 minute intervals ... it seems a sensible compromise of providing 
useful data while not filling the disk up too rapidly (the console itself 
does 12 second updates), but recording at the same interval that weewx is 
putting data into the database seems a good compromise.

Hope this helps

Thanks Bob, I'll follow your advice from now on to regularly clear the 
console data buffer.
btw, any particular reason why you recommended (in another thread) the 5 
minute setting of the buffer as opposed to any other?

Maybe he should get a UPS and put a big battery on it so it doesn't die
during blackouts.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Why the rain 'spikes'?

[Bob Atchley]

Interesting, I hadn't noticed that, and I see the same pattern on the other 
days you have posted.
I suspect what is happening is that if the data buffer is full, the final 
data item is continually over written with that days accumulated rain which 
the WS6.in1 driver then assumes is a normal value.
I will test this - I need to wait for the buffer on my weather station to 
be full (late Feb) and then wait for a rainy day.  Depending on what is 
output by the weather station to the driver I will update the driver.
But again for you the simple solution is to regularly manually reset the 
data buffer following the instructions in the (on line) user manual - this 
should ensure you have no gaps in your data and will remove the spikes - a 
double win.

Hope this helps

Bob

Hi Bob,

You've already explained to me about the buffer in another thread, but I 
haven't got around to to empty it or change the setting, I'll go there 
tomorrow and do just that! Thanks again!

When looking at the data for 15-Dec-23 specifically, it does appear that 14 
is the sum of all the previous values for the day since midnight, I'd 
imagine the buffer would have more values stores, no!? Basically as Tom 
says these are the dayRain values aggregated and inserted into the db once 
it's up again:
(I've removed the rows with 0)

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Why the rain 'spikes'?

[Bob Atchley]

Sorry I'm picking this thread up a bit late.
Looking at the output of the SQL commands I'm seeing unexpected behaviour 
(apart from the rain spikes).  The Bresser weather station has a buffer 
that with the 15 minute interval you are using should allow up to 150 days 
of data to be recovered.  But there are gaps which presumably align with 
the power outages - this should not happen.
This probably means that the buffer is full.  Unfortunately the buffer is 
not circular, once its full no more data is stored.  The interface to the 
weather station from the WS6in1 driver does not provide a way to reset this 
buffer - it must be done manually.  To make matters worse some copies of 
the printed user manual is missing the details on how to do this.
If this is the case for you, this link to an on line version contains the 
necessary information (pages 20 and 21 under the heading Data Log)
https://www.bresser.de/out/media/9fc9f246c452a7307b473233c8057805.pdf

I personally use a 5 minute interval (50 day buffer) and reset the buffer 
every month after backing up the database, with a 15 minute interval I 
would recommend resetting the buffer every 3 months.
Having said all this I have no idea what is causing the rain spikes.. My 
experience is if the buffer is full the driver reads through it all but as 
its old data it all gets discarded.  May be if the buffer has never been 
reset it contains data out of time sequence and this is causing the problem.
My intuition is if you reset the weather station buffer regularly the 
problem will go away - ultimately the data comes from the weather station 
not the driver.  I will check the WS6in1 driver in case I can find anything 
else that might be causing this.

If you are already resetting the weather station buffer then I'll need to 
think again

Hope this helps 

Bob

OK thanks, but that's been set from the very beginning that is to say when 
weewx was set up when the db was empty.
Personally, I see no reason why I should use anything non-metric, that's 
just a US thing.

['michael.k...@gmx.at' via weewx-user]

I think from the perspective that

   - the metric system for storing values in the database is not default
   - the "normal user" shouldn't get in touch with database values und 
   "normal circumstances"
   - hence, the vast majority of installations will not use the metric 
   system in the db

it is unusual.

Tom,

It's much appreciated you've spent the time to look into this, if there's 
nothing wrong with WeeWX - there's nothing wrong with WeeWX :)
I'll ask Bob if he can have a gander at this.
I have to admit though I find it a bit stranger using metric would be 
considered an unusual circumstances, it's what the rest of the world uses 
after all.

Again, thanks a lot!

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Why the rain 'spikes'?

[Tom Keffer]

I would guess that the driver is not calculating "rain" correctly.

WeeWX uses "rain" for the values in the archive table and daily summaries.
The WU uses some mysterious combination of "dayRain" and "hourRain" (they
don't say) for rain totals.

The driver calculates "rain" as the difference in some rain total (I think
differences in "dayRain", but it's hard to tell from the code). This is as
it should be.

You say that the "spikes" occur after power outages. I'm thinking the value
for "dayRain" also changes.

I hate to "pass the buck," but I've taken this as far as I can. I don't
think there's a problem in the WeeWX code --- after all, it works correctly
for thousands of users and many different drivers. The only unusual
circumstances in your case is the use of metric units in the database, and
the use of the ws6in1 driver.

Please ask the author of the driver to double check the calculations for
rain. Ask him to try a power failure and see what happens to "dayRain".

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Why the rain 'spikes'?

Hi Tom,

Yes, that's exactly the ws6in1 driver I'm using, ever since July 2022.
target_unit is set to METRICWX and that's how I've always had it since I 
started running weewx 5 years ago on this R-Pi initially with an Acurite 
station.

Thanks a bunch!

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Why the rain 'spikes'?

[Tom Keffer]

I think I'm getting close to figuring this out. Can you confirm the
following:

- You are using the "ws6in1" driver, right? This one
.
- What unit system are you using in your database? This is the setting for
option "*target_unit*".

The first query is not totally accurate because the record stamped 
2023-09-16 00:00 is included, although it is actually part of the previous 
day. But, your totals are so far off, it should be good enough.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Why the rain 'spikes'?

I can pull data for December (tomorrow), but in the the first two posts 
I've also posted excerpts from the db itself:

Please notice in the last one how there's a sudden 9.2 value after hours of 
no rain, in my view it's those bogus values that are discarded by WU/PWS 
but they stay in the db.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Why the rain 'spikes'?

[Tom Keffer]

It's possible the errant values are in the daily summaries, but not the
main archive table. The former is used for the NOAA reports, the latter for
the WU posts.

I don't know your timezone, but I imagine something like this:

select dateTime, datetime(dateTime, 'unixepoch', 'localtime'), rain from
archive where dateTime > 1694822400 and dateTime <= 1694908800;
select dateTime, datetime(dateTime, 'unixepoch', 'localtime'), sum from
archive_day_rain where dateTime > 1694822400 and dateTime <= 1694908800;

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Why the rain 'spikes'?

Hello Tom,

I've posted above a link to the exact date I was comparing: 
https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/I5302/table/2023-09-16/2023-09-16/daily
 

You can see there on September 16, 2023 the total precipitation is 9.14 mm 
whereas WeeWx is showing "Today's Rain: 59,2mm"

Here's also the PWS link for the same date: 
https://www.pwsweather.com/station/pws/dolniokol?timespan=day=2023-09-16
It's showing a total of 9.1mm

If we look for the month of December:
PWS shows total of 41.7mm 
https://www.pwsweather.com/station/pws/dolniokol?timespan=month=2023-12-01
WU shows a total of 41.67mm 
https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/I5302/graph/2023-12-7/2023-12-7/monthly

However if I look at the weewx report it's over 100mm:

Even though I know nothing I have the gut feeling the WS6in1 driver for 
Bresser doesn't handle well buffered data or the station itself passes on 
buffered data wrongly (but in either case PWS and WU discard those values)?!

Also so sorry for the late reply here as well.

Thanks,
Ivo

But, you say the "spike" is in the database, but not being uploaded to PWS 
or Wunderground? Can you post your station ID for either/both?

No. That's not enough clues to narrow it down.

If the wrong data is only in the db but not reported to the likes of PWS 
Weather, Wunderground etc is it possible to narrow it down to the station 
or the driver?!
