inaccurate wind speed on meteobridge **solved**

[n8911]

I have a meteobridge and the wind high wind reading is always lower than what the Davis console/website reads. Is there a fix for this?

There appears quite a time lapse (19 seconds) in that screenshot with the MB wind live data? How is the MB receiving the data?

[n8911]

The screenshots were taken roughly 2 hours after the high wind was recorded.

Meteobridge is connected via WiFi to my home network...meteobridge is then connected via USB LINK to the console

Live data only seems to upload every 1 minute

[Mattk]

About every 1 minute is what Wl.com updates anyway and it's not just the specific data at that time (as such) but data since the previous upload, Wl.com is not a real time system anyway.

But my comment was in regard the 19 seconds between reading wind data records, typically wind records should have a 1-2 second update so why is your system taking a 19 second break between wind observations, there appears to be no wind data coming into your console for the MB to actually read?

[n8911]

When I look at live data, it seems to only refresh at 1 minute intervals. If it is say at the 19 second mark and I wait approximately 5 seconds and manually refresh the page then it says 24 seconds.

Then that says to me there is no wind data available to read and it has been at least 24 seconds since maybe the console received wind data? Does the console reflect this gap?

When I look at the console I see it update wind every 2.5 seconds like it’s supposed to.

I had an extra USB logger and console that I switched out
Thinking the USB logger was bad. The meteobridge still only seems to upload data at 1 minute intervals.

Just to confirm, upload data at 1 minute intervals to where? Are you referring to WL.com via the MB or just the MB no WL.com at all?

Just on MB

how often should the wind update on the MB under live data tab? I am browsing different topics on here reference the wind and see where useres say they have it set to update every 10 seconds. I don't see any place where I can update the upload interval for wind.

Meteobridge gets LOOP packets every few seconds, nothing for you to tweak.

When you stop your PC feeding WL by taking over control of the Davis logger from Meteobridge (using port 22222 of the Meteobridge) your readings will not miss any gust. Problem with feeding the PC program is that Meteobridge does then not get LOOP2 packets and so it does not get access to maximum wind gusts, which are part of LOOP2 protocol. max wind speeds are still in LOOP packets, but a max gust can be lost when it happens between sending LOOP data.

As I have explained that for about ten times in different posts I think we can close this.

Go with Meteobridge or with WL. Doing both is not working perfectly on wind gust speed. Period.
