Meteobridge Pro rain data to Weather Underground, et al is incorrect

[Laxet]

My setup: Davis Vantage Vue station (ISS replaced a week ago for other issues). Vantage Vue console & weatherlink console. Both read properly. My meteobridge is connected via LAN due to using WiFi-6 Eeros. I send data to weather underground, PWS & CWOP. The rain data is incorrect on all of these sites. They never show an accumulated total of rain. I get hourly reports, but they are often wrong. This has been happening for several months. Any ideas on where to look would be greatly appreciated.

Where does the MBPro read the sensor data from? Not sure why there should not be accumulated totals? Does the MBPro show accumulated totals?

As for rain being wrong, this is typically due to incorrect configurations between metric/imperial gauges and conversions?

[Laxet]

It reads the same way the consoles do, receiving signal over the air. I thought the same thing about the imperial standard. I changed everything I could find referencing it. The thing is, it all worked fine until a couple of months ago. I had not changed anything when it went berserk. There is a box that says "alternative rain rate" on the weather underground weather net. This box is unchecked & I can find no description of it in the literature. I don't know what it does.

I'm not sure where to look for accumulated totals in the MBPro.

I had an earlier problem with the MBPro dropping signal frequently. I reset the sensitivity to -70db to fix that problem.

[Mattk]

Rainfall totals for Today/Month/Year & All can be found under the Monitor>Min/Max Data tab. Rain rate values (Min/Max) for Now/Today/Month/Year&All on same page

[Laxet]

Totals are all zero, but there are some quantities under hourly.

Data Storage Usage is 100% so would be doing some maintenance to lower that and make some spare storage capacity.

Out of interest, how old, what capacity and what type is the storage media?

[Laxet]

It looks like storage is internal USB (1GB). It also looks like it goes back to 2021, which is when I installed this. I have a data logger in my console, so I don't use this data.

I am a novice to this system. Would you please tell me how to clear this storage data? If I back it up, will it clear this memory? Should I insert a thumb drive to store this data?

Thank you for all of your help so far.

[Mattk]

You need to work out what is taking up so much capacity and why, especially considering you don't use the MB data.

Simply backing it up won't clear the storage. You could insert an external USB and do a backup of the DB from which you could increase the internal USB size then restore the DB but considering you have filled a 1GB USB without knowing why then that won't fix your issue in the medium to longer term.

You need to check any files on the internal storage, one way is via SMB (see System>Information>Security) to set SMB up then open the storage folders from \\IP-of-your-MB\data in mainly the charts/export/html/ folders and delete/copy/backup what's old or no longer required
.... or under the System>Information>Maintenance>Media access click the [Download or Delete Files] which will show the "Files available for download or deletion" but somehow I doubt you have created enough files of any size to fill the internal storage in 3 years?

Also look at your Database>Administration/Time Resolution settings, do you have Persistent storage selected? With "no automated deletion" ?

Also what is the make of the USB media? System.Information>System>Storage ???:

[Laxet]

I appreciate your patience with me. I've gone through your suggestions with the manual beside me. The problem is every reference has different tabs, so I was unable to look at some of the items you suggested.

I tried to set up the SMB (one of the paths I don't have) but not sure I did it right. Once I did what I did, I didn't know what to do with it. Again, the path was not here.

The time resolution was set to no persistent storage. I set the second line to automated deletion past 90 days.

Unable to answer the last question about media. Again, don't have the path & unable to find.

The manual shows a History tab. If I had one of those, I think it would make this a lot easier. I cannot how to replicate the steps available on that tab.

I'm tempted to do a factory reset & start all over. That will clear the storage data, won't it?

What would happen if I removed the internal storage & erased it on my computer?

Thanks again for all of your help.

Tending to indicate a internal USB stick issue?

...Unable to answer the last question about media. Again, don't have the path & unable to find.

Can you screen shot the System>Information TAB?

The manual/WiKi may not have been updated to the latest version?

....I'm tempted to do a factory reset & start all over. That will clear the storage data, won't it?

Not sure about that but would not fix a possible faulty USB stick, also showing as a Size: 512.OK is rather odd

.... What would happen if I removed the internal storage & erased it on my computer?

No don't do that at this time

[Laxet]

Here is the screen shot

[Mattk]

That indicates you have an issue with the USB stick, the storage details should be between the RAM: & SW version details. Without knowing what the internal USB is (make/type/size etc) would suggest the internal USB might be best replaced.

[Laxet]

I can disassemble it to find out. If I do have to replace it, does it have to be formatted any special way?

[Mattk]

No reformatting, simple straight out of the box.

There is a video of replacing the internal USB, have to seen this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn0_tM_jjZI

There is also approved USB sticks. ATP NanoDura SLC's work fine with long life

[Laxet]

Here is a photo of the memory stick. Interesting thing, when I plugged the MBPro back in, it said "formatting storage" then "formatting failed".

I just watched the video (after I took it apart). It showed pretty much what I had done. Very easy.

Does it have to be 1GB or can I go bigger?
