MB and Davis Logging During Power Failures?

Post by Bushman »

After about the 5th 12 hour power failure at my remote site,resulting in my Netbook running out of juice/UPS I am planning to convert from Weatherlink to MB. However, since logging is not used, what can I do about Internet outages? My current UPS will keep the MB (DIR-505/Cute USB hub) running. Right now, when the power goes out I have weeks of logged data that WL grabs when the power/net returns. Any ideas?

Maybe use virtual vantage to read the Davis logger when internet connection returns?

More about Virtual vantage in the discussion section.

But that means a PC 24/7 - exactly what MB is supposed to replace. There has to be a way to do this without a PC. Or MB needs to be able to read the logger somehow.

As Meteobridge is mainly for feeding data to public weather networks, queuing data and sending that to the networks later on will only work for a very few of them and I doubt that those few will handle that situation correctly. Therefore, your request is not in sync with the capability of the services to feed data to. Weatherlink network (which might handle that) is not supported by Meteobridge, as it is a closed shop just for Davis stuff.
When you have a WLIP Davis logger, the logger might update the Weatherlink network with data from the past accordingly, but this is out of Meteobridges responsibility.

When you stream data to our Meteoplug cloud service, Meteobridge will temporarily store logged data (regardless which station connected) and will send that to Meteoplug, which can handle it fine.
