A several questions re: variables
Posted: Sat Jul 30, 2011 4:11 am
I'm a little confused by the similarity of the descriptions for the "hour1" and "last60m" variable tags.
Do the "hour1" tags reset at the 00:00 minute:second of each hour local time(or UTC time) and start accumulations again then?
Do the "last60m" tags contain the data that was current exactly 60 minutes ago (like the "actual" current numbers, but offset by 60 minutes)?
Which should be used (hour1 or last60m) if the actual numeric change in the data (old v.s. "actual") value is to be used (like temperature change, baro change, etc.)?
There seems to be no "yesterday" tags to complement the "day1" tags, so is there an easy way to get yesterday's values (such as for rain total, temp hi/low+times, etc.)?
any help is appreciated...
thanks in advance,
Ken
