rain data for month1 and year1

[andybaltimore]

I just installed the Meteohub software and am uploading all-sensors-xml every minute and using it to populate a web page.

We had some rain this afternoon, which was correctly reported in actual, day1 and last24. Since we are at the beginning of a month and year, the the monthly and yearly totals should be equal to the daily total. But... month1 showed only part of the rain and year1 total still showed zero hours after the rain stopped.

I manually requested a recalculation which corrected the month1 and year1 total values, but shouldn't these be updating automatically?

Is there a setting I have missed that will keep these values current?

Thank you!

I now understand the problem I am having with year-to-date and month-to-date XML data and would like to suggest a solution.

These are calculated infrequently (year data once per day at 4:47 am) so that the current values do not include activity since that time. It makes sense to do this since it is a CPU intensive operation.

When calculating monthly and yearly values, why not cut off the data at midnight no matter what time the calculation runs? Then it would be easy to display accurate year-to-date by adding the day1 value to the year1 value.

Is there some way I can tell the Meteohub software to do this or change the times that calculations run?

Thanks!
