Vantage Pro 2 Data Logger

Post by gibsonmb »

I really wish that Meteohub could make use of the logged data in the Vantage Pro 2. If the power fails for some reason then Meteohub on the Alix.1d does not log data for the period it's off. It would be great if when the Alix.1D was powered back up,Meteohub checked what it had missed whilst off, from the Davis logger, collected it and then carried on.... just like Weather Display or Weatherlink does when the PC they reside on is started back up. The potential is there with Meteohub to lose chunks of data but not so with Weatherdisplay or Weatherlink. Just seems such a waste of reliability to not have the ability to make use of the data logged on the Davis.

Any thoughts/views on this folks?:(

Yes, I agree. This has been something that I would love to see happen. You can check my response over in the Whishes section.

I encountered this problem yesterday, when my ISP went offline for a bit and my cable modem and router needed to be re-syncd. As it took me 12 hours to recognize the problem (loss of NSLU2's internet connection) and I was away, I lost 12 hours of data uplink to Wunderground.

In the past, using WUHU, a simple reboot would retrieve the console history from the VP2 and uplink the missing records to Wunderground. No gaps!

This is a significant limitation of Meteohub and I would love to see it rectified! :S
