Hi,

running MB on RPI, latest release.

I recently changed the MB source weather station to my HP2551 (previously I was using my GW1000 to feed data, but that had started giving issues - I'll not digress, separate thread if I go back to that config.), as I noticed support was added in release 5.4 5/04/22 - this simplifies my configuration by eliminating the GW1000.

The HP2551 and GW1000 both pull data from the same weather sensors.

All is working well (for the last 24hrs anyway), except I noticed that the reported solar radiation from the HP2551 is always 0w/m2 in MB. The HP2551 shows solar radiation readings locally, so the sensor is working.

I've configured the GW1000 as a second weather station in MB just to test things and I can see that it reports solar radiation in MB properly. So there is something up with the data transfer between the HP2551 and MB.

Anyone able to shed any light? (no pun intended)

TIA!

When I look at your findings most probable reason is a bug at the newly added custom server upload module for ecowitt stations in Meteobridge. Do I assume correctly thst you sre using this? I will have a look at the code on the weekend. Thanks for sharing your finding.

Hi, yes you are correct, I've just reconfigured using the custom Ecowitt server upload module to get data from the HP2551.

There's no obvious configuration of the data in that server option, and it is pulling all other data (as far as I've noticed), so like you say, it is likely a minor bug for that data stream only.

Hi admin.

Just updated to build 2773, dated today, and this has resolved the issue; I now see solar data from the Ecowitt.

Thanks for the fast fix.
