I have noticed this MANY times since going to WLL
It happened just now:
I had to reboot the mac. It was NOT raining but was earlier. The reboot took 2 mins max
When I started WD the monthly and rain data were not accurate. It is as if they added the earlier rainfall
Again it was not raining when this happened and the reboot and relaunch of WD was quick.
Thoughts?
It happened again last night/this am
Power went out about 10pm and came back at 5am
When I restarted WD obviously it pulled the missing data from WLL. However, WD/WLL showed more rain than the VP console (which I believe is right)
Would this be a WLL issue to pursue with Davis or how WD reads it in?
This occurs almost every time that while WD is down and either it rained earlier rained during the downtime.
Looking at the log file viewer in WD (attached) the rain value changed to the higher amount at the time WD restarted and was pulling the data (approx 515am). There was no rain during this time
Thoughts?
Hey Brian… It happened again
We got a quick rain burst at 12:45pm today - very brief and only accumulated .02
No rain since
At 1400 I closed all apps and rebooted my mac. When I came back up and restarted WD there was an extra .03 in the total rain for the year (assuming rounding compared to Davis console of .02)
Weatherlink data shows the rain at 12:45 and nothing since. WD log file shows the correct amount but then the extra rain right at 12:45 when it occured
So WD is somehow adding the earlier rain to the current total. I hope that makes sense.
Screenshots are too large to attach, I will send them in email. If you need anything from me let me know
what might be happening is that WD is pulling in and using the history data prior to when it was last running and so counting the rain 2x
maybe you can see if that is what is happening?
do make sure you have the time zone (hours) and lat/long set correct in the sun moon rise/set
as that is how WD tries to work out the GMT time
needed to work out when to request data history from
Hey Brian
Im fairly certain the Lat/Long is set correctly (see screen shot) - see screen shot
I’m not sure where to check the time zone setting
Not sure what you mean by “hat might be happening is that WD is pulling in and using the history data prior to when it was last running and so counting the rain 2x
maybe you can see if that is what is happening?”
How can i check or verify that
i verified the lat/long settings in WD correspond to my address
Still not exactly sure what you meant. WD is only down for a few mins while I reboot the mac.
Do you mean when I launch WD how far back does the data import go? If that is the case, I don’t know. But I suspect quick because the window disappears quick
Brian,
It happened yet again. I had to reboot my mac. Mac was down 5 mins max.
When it came back and I launched WD, the yearly rain was off again. It had rained earlier this morning. The discrepancy is I believe the amount of the daily rain (approx). Today we got .06 about 4am. When WD came back up the difference between WD and WLL was .07 (assuming rounding).
This only happens when there has been rain earlier. Otherwise when I shutdown WD and restart it works fine.
Im your other post you suggested checking lat/long and TZ. Lat/long appear correct. Not sure where in WD to check TZ

In WLL the data shows zero rain since many hours ago, definitely NOT within the few mins of rebooting
You posted this earlier:
“what might be happening is that WD is pulling in and using the history data prior to when it was last running and so counting the rain 2x
maybe you can see if that is what is happening?”
I don’t what you mean by this and what to check. If you need any logs or files etc, let me know
Any help greatly appreciated.
try this as a test (next time you had rain earlier in the day that WD recorded when it was running)
in control panel, data logger, turn off the switch there
then exit WD for a few minutes
then restart
and see if the rain recorded earlier is added again when it should not be
Will do… .Thanks
Might takes some time for this to happen again, but I will do that
Appreciate the help
Ok… got rain not too long ago… approx 20 mins ago… None since then. At 17:05 (last rain time) the amount received was .01
I went into data logger and shut it off and exited WD at 18:09. Yearly rain was 32.40"
I relaunched WD at 18:16
Yearly rain was now and still 32.40
I went ahead and put the logger back on for now
Thoughts?
