I have been using WeatherLink Live to feed data to WD for a few weeks now and I have noticed something peculiar with the wind data. It seems that whenever there is a new high wind speed for the day, that value gets “stuck” in WD. It eventually clears and the wind data begins displaying correctly again, but it can take several minutes. The wind direction and other data continues to update just fine.
I have checked the packets being parsed in crondaviswll.exe and can see that all is correct, with wind speeds updating every 2 seconds or so (matching the values in WeatherLink). It is only within WD that the wind speed is stuck.
I’m referring to the current wind speed, not the gust speed. This includes the wind dial readout on the main display. It displays the same wind reading for up to several minutes, despite new readings being parsed correctly by crondaviswll.
This can also happen with the gust too, i tend to find it happens worse after a reboot of the WLL.
Its been a couple of weeks since i last rebooted the WLL and i have not noticed any issues for a while.
Hi Brian, im not thread bumping on purpose, just updating findings, I just noticed yesterday that this is actually causing WD to miss speeds so its not just a graph issue, i live in small’ish village and at around 5:45pm someone on fb mentioned that the village had hit 54mph a few minutes ago, where mine was only 45mph (i disputed their findings) but at that time the wind issue occured again on the graph, I didnt notice it at the time.
Ive enclosed it for visual reference, i included the other grpah cause i thought those temp drops were impressive lol
Hi Brian, yes I am using WLL as mentioned in reply #4
Perhaps have a look to see if adding an offset is anything to do with the issue, i have a sneaking suspicion or at the very least, it stalls at the value before the offset is applied. Hope that helps.
what was happening is that WD was checking the max gust value in last 10 minutes as reported by WLL
and if that was higher than max gust for the day then WD was setting the gust speed to that value…instead of the max gust for the day
so the max gust line on the graph was being pegged at the max gust for the last 10 minutes as reported by WLL
in theory though that should mean, if that is a rolling last 10 minutes gust from WLL, then WD was not missing out on a max speed while this bug was there
I just happened upon a new issue, possibly with this latest update. The time for today’s max gust is stuck. WD is accurately tracking the max gust, but for some reason, the time of the max gust has stayed at 10:52 AM. It was even showing 10:52 AM prior to it being 10:52 AM today.
The graphs are correct, and the value of the max gust is correct, it is just the time that is wrong.
