Wind-Correction-Factor will not be used on MeteoBridge and WLL

Post by xray77 »

Hello,
I have noticed that my Meteobridge on the Raspberry Pi 4B and a Weather-Link-Live unit as data source does not take into account the wind correction factors I have set for the wind gusts.
Here the correction factor is probably not applied to the wind gust values explicitly transmitted by the WLL, only the "normal" wind values, which are transmitted in the data loop, are corrected accordingly.

MB-Davis WLL:

Correction factor set in the MB:

In my WeeWx installation (which is directly feeded by the WLL-Unit) and there in the weewx.conf also specified identical correction factor, however, this is taken into account
Image

In the MB................................................................max today:
Image
12.4 m/s corresponds to only 44.64 km/h and not the expected 58 km/h

Here the W34 Aurora-Output, which will feed directly from the MB, the too low value is confirmed
Image

Here some raw-data from WLL for Windspeed lat 10 Minutes,I assume here in the unit mp/h :
[...]"wind_speed_hi_last_10_min":18.00,[...]
this value will not be corrected by the set MB-correction-factor for the wind0wind-variable...

it will be see that the correction factor for the wind gusts is not applied by Meteobridge, only the wind gust "raw value" is taken from WeatherLink Live.
It would be nice if this could be fixed in a future update, many thanks
best regards
Mike

Hello,
No Solution, no Answer from the developer?

Not very polite ...

I cannot reproduce your claim. Calibration on wind0wind and wind0avgwind is effective on monitoring tab and also when doing template requests. Meteobridge does not handle this differently for certain weather stations. May be the sensors of your WLL are not mapped to wind0?
