[weewx-user] Investigating logs for sporadic loss of sensors during the night

Hi, Sometimes during the night I lose data from my sensors a couple of hours. I've had a look at the logs, but can't see any ERROR message. What type of message should I be looking for in weewx.log? Example: https://biotmeteo.masdescrocodiles.fr/daytempdew.png My weather station is an EcoWitt HP

Hard to say without actually seeing the logs, but these "middle-of-the-night' dropouts are often caused by weak sensor batteries. On Wed, Jan 10, 2024 at 6:51 AM Invisible Man wrote: > Hi, > Sometimes during the night I lose data from my sensors a couple of hours. > I've had a look at the logs,

If it is not the battery, check the signal strength. With the Interceptor Driver I don't know how to get the readings for the signal strength. But you could try to find out and then see if there are drops in any way. Sometimes it doesn't need much to have an inferior signal strength. I, for ins

Yes, very possible, and during the night, house shutters are closed which probably decreases signal strength. However, I was expecting to see an anomaly report in the logs, and I just don't see anything at all. Isnt' there a message about "loss of a sensor" or something? On Thursday, January 11,

No, in this particular case, there isn't. There is just no value. The temp sensor emits it's reading. If you are lucky, the console catches this reading, there is no duplex or acknowledge between the sensor and the console. The driver then simply gets no value and unless no other special treatm
