Re: [weewx-user] Re: Ultimeter 2100 WeeWx Behind Actual Rain Rain Rate is Actual Rain Total

Good testimony of just how great a program WeeWx is by catching the gap and doing the calcs for MADIS and MW. I am really impressed with this application. Given the context of this application's complexity, this upgrade was spectacularly smooth. I was wondering why CWOP did rain as they do an

You could put the following in the [StdCalibrate] section of weewx.conf: [StdCalibrate] [[Corrections]] dayRain = daily_rain This will set type dayRain to what is being emitted by your hardware. It will then be passed on to CWOP, instead of looked up in the database. Unfortunately, C

You are correct - From weewxd after dumping some water into the bucket, the display reports .14 and in the output of weewxd 'daily_rain: 0.14' and 'rain_total 5.84' which was at 5.7 until I added the water for today's test. I have attached the output. So, is there a way for the hardware

I think the problem is differences in what "today's rain" means. The ultimeter driver emits observation types rain_total and daily_rain. These are direct from the hardware, so they should match what you're seeing on the console. You can check by running weewxd directly from the command line. It wi

Hi, Burt Unless you're sending sensitive password information, I'd prefer to keep the exchange here. That way, others can learn, and it becomes a thread-of-record should someone have a similar problem in the future. -tk On Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 12:12 PM Burt Wizeman wrote: > Hey Tom, > Earlier

Hey Tom, Earlier my numbers to you were wrong. I caught it between updates from when I first noticed it. The numbers were .53 at CWOP and PWS, .83 on the display. Sorry, I was in a rush to get to work. If I could have an email to contact you at, I am reviewing the app for our West Central Fl

0x53 is actually 83 decimal. Looking through the Ultimeter code, it seems to be converted from hexadecimal to decimal correctly. Try running with debug=2. The driver will include the raw data in the system log. -tk On Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 6:24 AM Burt Wizeman wrote: > Still looking into the r

Still looking into the rain. To refresh the discussion, as of the moment of this writing, the Ultimeter is displaying .82 inches since midnight. It is at midnight that the daily data is reset to 0. Yet, WeeWx in Linux and CWOP show .53. 53 HEX is 82 Decimal! What is happening is that the nu
