Brian, one issue with adding the AirQuality to the Monthly and Yearly charts a layout challenge for those of us who do not have UV & Solar sensors:

Good morning

added a fallback for that scenario just a small piece of code "what if else do this" line .should resemble below if no uv sensor and Davis airlink ==yes

simple update 10th February
* Adds fallback for those with no UV sensor ref Jason (8:12am).

Excellent.

during my process in upgrading to Aurora MKII, looks like my end of day routine did not run for a several days. 4 out of the last 10 days.

Is there a easy method to go back and create the day summary and put it in the February file? So manually run a day cleanup for dates in the past?

Do this by hard coding the date variable?

I did change the run time to 2am per previous posts a few pages ago. will see if it runs tonight.

Thanks

good morning

the 2am solution is proving to be the way to go , im still struggling to the fathom out why for some the 12:15am is not producing data , i also see that issue but the majority dont.

if you have the data to hand you can edit the csv for february and 2021 . but beware if you dont carriage return on the last empty line you will have out of sync data going forth . each end of day is required to have a new empty line to be able have each end of day on a new line.

i will continue to run mine on a separate test file at 2am for another week and if it continues to do as expected i will update procedure and recommend 2am as opposed to 12:15am.

i would really like to eliminate any means or requirements of hard coding for everyone as it really introduces many problems.

if you are not confident of editing the csv files feel free to send them by email and i happily align if your able to provide a url to work with if not you can use the history tab of the meteobridge software to find max,min etc for specific dates.

Hi Brian,

I wonder if this is a bug in particular versions of the Meteo firmware. It might be something that was fixed in newer versions. The 12:15 seems to be fine on mine and Ron's, as well.

To aid those diagnosing this issue my working state is:

• Meteobridge NanoSD v5.0 (Dec 6 2020, build 3662), FW 1.4
• Weather34-chart-end-of-day.php running at 00:15 successfully
• Aurora Mk2 fully up to date.

All charts updating just fine.

[weatherist34]

at the moment i would say it is a very small percentage that has this issue including myself , definitely for me at 12:15am there are days when it does not generate an updated csv , it is sporadic but the log file shows nothing related to failed process or something along those lines. all I get when using 5.something is pages of disconnect logs and services restarted messages.
in short i see nothing in meteobridge error logs that relates or helps to narrow down.

so for last eight days i set it to run a test csv at 2am so far touch wood no issues or missed days.

my issue began after updating from firmware 4.2 to 5. something two weeks ago, i had been running 4.2 uninterrupted for almost 11 months uptime was almost 320 days i recall. when i rolled back to 4.2 from 5.something it was throwing up database error logging for wind data the string appearing in the error log was wind1!1max , but i have no secondary station , i understood these new features to allow secondary station mix and match brand additions had strings with !1 etc.

so now Im back on 5.something as of this morning . Im hoping it is not firmware related because thats beyond my ability to correct or diagnose . so for now im looking as setting to 2am is the solution .

my reason for updating firmware was to run the lightning from one unit simultaneously but all i got was lots of wind related logged errors from a string wind1!1xxx and the services would just hang until reboot.

having said all that i not familiar with others configurations who have the 12;15am issue i doubt if there using a lightning feature so i dont know just have to wait to see if the 2am remains reliable. thanks for the input anyway..

I'm comfortable with editing CSV files, I was not comfortable in finding the values needed but if I can pull them from history on the meteobridge, i can create a spreadsheet of headers, values and then export to the right csv value.

Looks like the 2am trick worked last night.

Hi Brian,

I just uploaded your latest Lightning update. It is now showing a recent strike "Just Now", but have not had any since in a few days.

bizarre somehow one character appeared , is there a ghost amongst us or is it my failing eyesight ? probably the latter !

For those few experiencing the 12:15am no data generated I have emailed Boris to enquire if we can have a fixed weather34 export function , this will be useful for also those that want to regenerate data i.e from an old meteobridge to a new one , fatal crash or any scenario where restoring old data may be required ,this also will be used for having a fixed end of day output simply by using the services export and selecting weather34 function (this is the theory ) .So hang in there all will come good but for now if you are having that issue then use the 2am settings as opposed to 12:15am.

I know that this is not the general solution, (it would be better if the MB upload worked properly), but I am using my own http request based on Brian's API description - and then there's no issue.
Copy the API description into a textfile (Notepad, Notepad++), remove all commentaries, make sure there's one blank (space) between ending and starting ] [ and then copying the string behind "mb=" works perfectly well.

I already had to do this with the Meteotemplate upload, as the in-built variant doesn't cover properly all extra sensors I have and which Meteotemplate supports.

[weatherist34]

After a brief discussion with Boris , there will be a new weather34 end of day API option under weather networks , its a one click solution that will simply run once a day . I will simply test it for a week or so and make it 100% compatible with existing chart data.

only issue I see is using purple air API to obtain the 24 hour average figure for the month,year charts the actual value which is not a part of meteobridge. this is where it gets messy again with air quality for those who have multiple air quality sensors i.e davis and purple air . i will once i trust the output of the new end of day api try and work the purple air api into the charts .

hopefully by end of February this will be available.

Firstly sorry for lack of responses just a manic week and sitting around waiting for an SMS to get vaccine .Anyway Im off next week for a few weeks to our second home for the first time in a year for obvious reasons of pandemic.

This week thank you all for the emails I have addressed the majority of those through simple updates this week .

They were
1. missing heat index in the API
2. minor appearance change to login screen for setup
3. reworked the earthquake regional module . which only displays regional earthquakes based on your Lat Lon upto 1500km radius (THEORITICALLY)
red is less 150km/mi , yellow less than 300km/mi , green 500km/mi or greater in distance away
4. Cleaned up code for heat index display so easy to overlook scenarios when not in season here thanks Jodie(Australia)..
5. minor css changes nothing significant.
6. Removed Ecowitt compatibility tired of the inept emails so there you go , simply use something more suited .see FAQ for the total crap I got sent..
7. Added simple hardware ID to footer bar some Hardware ID examples shown in screen shot
8. FAQ was added to info site and hopefully you will see my side of the coin why I drastically reduced features to keep it maintained in a manageable way instead of just walking away due to fatigue and never ending upkeep.I have always said if it doesn't suit your requirements there are multiple choices of alternative templates to fulfill your requirements.

*Verified full compatibility with PHP 8.02 release

TODO finalize new end of day charts output but this will be possibly a March project cant see it getting done beforehand.

take care all and get the vaccine if the opportunity comes your way, life has a better chance of getting back to some form of normality in the near future because I cant take another year of awkwardness ! ..
