Failure - incomplete data posted by Meteobridge

[jasonmfarrow]

After a reboot to change Wifi Network of my NANOSD I am getting issues with this message:

HTTP Upload: 2024-02-20 10:49:20 Error: 2024-02-20 10:49:18 <p>Failure - incomplete data posted by Meteobridge</p> (no more tries)

Symptoms of this are showing up in my Webcam overlay

and in my Weather34 display where it's killing the Barometer section

I updated the Meteobridge to the latest version

SW Version: Meteobridge 5.8 (Feb 13 2024, build 4757), FW 1.4

and rebooted but it's still an issue. Any help to resolve this would be appreceiated.

This fixed itself after about 3 hours of giving out dodgy data. Nothing weather-configuration-wise was changed, just the move to a different wi-fi network.

Seeing it fixed itself after 3 hours, possibly has something to do with no barometer data as it takes 3 hours to get a trend and a delta3h expression might have issues until there was more than 3 hours of data?

Matt,

That sounds logical, but I've not had reboots and/or firmware upgrades cause a reset/or absence of "delta" statistics before.

Have you seen this?

[admin]

Please do not use any Meteobridge templates that do not provide a default reply if a requested sensor does not have data. Not doing so is like writing a program that does not cope with error conditions and just crashes.

Hi Boris/Admin,

In this case I was doing nothing non-standard. The error shown in the Webcam was using the standard webcam overlay processing provided as one of the default weather net services.

Then the other failure caused by the incomplete Barometer 3hr Delta was feeding data to the Weather34 template (again a standard Weather Net service) and the Saratoga template using a standard HTTP service:

Code: Select all

https://<domain>/conds.php?d=[DD]/[MM]/[YYYY],[hh]:[mm]:[ss],[th0temp-act],[th0hum-act.0],[th0dew-act],[wind0avgwind-act],[wind0wind-act],[wind0dir-act],[rain0rate-act],[rain0total-daysum],[thb0seapress-act],[wind0dir-act],[wind0wind-act=bft.0],m/s,C,hPa,mm,--,[thb0seapress-val60:--],[rain0total-monthsum],[rain0total-yearsum],[rain0total-ydaysum],[thb0temp-act],[thb0hum-act],[wind0chill-act],[th0temp-val60:--],[th0temp-dmax],[th0temp-dmaxtime],[th0temp-dmin],[th0temp-dmintime],[wind0avgwind-dmax],[wind0avgwind-dmaxtime],[wind0wind-dmax],[wind0wind-dmaxtime],[thb0seapress-dmax],[thb0seapress-dmaxtime],[thb0seapress-dmin],[thb0seapress-dmintime],[mbsystem-swversion:--],[mbsystem-buildnum:--],[wind0wind-max10],--,--,[uv0index-act:--],--,[sol0rad-act:--],[wind0dir-avg10:--],[rain0total-sum60],--,[mbsystem-daynightflag:--],--,[wind0dir-avg10:--],--,m,--,[mbsystem-daylength:--],--,--,[uv0index-dmax:--] 

I wholly agree that if I was using unsupported or non-standard templates then I would have nothing of which to complain. I raised this because it seemed to be an issue that occured subsequent to a reboot for an IP change and again after a firmware upgrade. As it cleared itself after 3-hrs, which would have been the time for the 3-hr delta to be properly updated (if not retained across a reboot for some reason) it would appear to be transient.

If there is a better way to code the above for missing or incomplete data are you able to provide an example?

Thank you. Meteobridge is a great tool and it's been working marvellously for me for the last 5-years.

[admin]

The first definition has "[thb0seapress-delta3h=enbarotrend]" in it which is lacking a default option, should be [thb0seapress-delta3h=enbarotrend:].
Saratoga definitions are lacking any default options, which is not good as explained.
Are these templates part of the Meteobridge system distribution? If so, can you please give me their names so that I can fix centrally?

"delta3h" needs the system to be up for 3 hours before having sufficient data avail to report a correct value. Not great, but this is how it is currently implemented.
