Hi Everyone: I’m running WD 10.18z.I like the sunset-sunrise feature.But when it changes to sunset it displays the sunset icon for awhile then goes back to the previously displayed icon.Then after awhile it will display the correct icon for night time icon. Are there any settings other than the latitude and longitude settings that have to be set? I know that they (lat & long) are right due to the fact that my APRS data is displayed properly.
hi
it should be about 30 minutes after sunset, but it might take longer depending on which side of the half hour sunset was
i should be able to improve this situation though me thinks
It work’s fine other than the brief change from the sunset icon back to the daytime icon then to the nightime icon.

10.19b should be better
and you can turn if off to show sunrise/set , in the summary image and icon setup
Hi Brian
Was using 10.19a and found the when cloudy the main screen icon would change from cloudy to sunset, at upload times this meant that the web page had sunset on screen shot instead of cloud.
The summary icon was ok
i have installed the 10.19b zip file from your last post and so far so good, will keep an eye on it
oops 15.02 and sunset icon on main screen
it has taken me until 10.19f to finally found where i was setting the sunset always on
so grab a new zip from that temporary URL now
thanks
ok downloaded latest zip
it is showing cloudy (day) icon, its night and it is cloudy so is showing wrong cloud icon
WD main display shows sunset icon until it uploads the webpage snapshot of the screen, then shows partly cloudy. Metar shows:
METAR KBAB 080055Z 19004KT 5SM HZ FEW150 15/14 A2995 RMK SLP143 ESTMD SLP //
Didn’t seem to make a difference if metar was selected or not…
Input Daily Weather does not override the icon for more than a minute (normal program update?).
10.18j should finally lay this to rest

(note, with input daily weather, yuou need to tick, use this image as main screen image)
I tried zip 10.19 h a couple hours ago and it too was displaying daytime icons at night. I went back to 10.19a. Just tried 10.19j and it’s correct now. Hopefully the sunrise appearing in the display and screenshot is fixed too? Also while we’re on the topic, there is one more thing. I’ve been meaning to ask about this for sometime now. Now seems like the right time. My icons in the meter and the summary image always seem to match that of the icon in the display and screenshot except when it’s displaying nighttime mostly cloudy conditions. Then the image in the display is different of what is being displayed in the meter and summary image. If you could, could you check out my test webpage and see what I mean?

and there is a fix for if you have ticked , leave icon to be updated by your weather stations weather…that was working on the metar icon when it should not have been
have put 10.19j on and looks promising will keep an eye on it and let you know if any problems
Just wanted to verify that it’s nighttime and it’s mostly cloudy and the mostly cloudy icons now match :D.
Thanks Brian,
Billy
