Weather Report Email - zero values

Hi

Since I installed a newer version of WD (for Windows - full install file) in August, my Weather Report Email always shows a max and min temperature of zero. Other values seem unaffected. I have tried re-installing again (currently 10.37S 149) but the problem is still there. Does anyone have any ideas please? Is there a template for the email that I can check/tweak?

This is a copy of today’s email report:

Thanks in advance . . .

You may have other problems too. An average wind speed of zero for 24 hours seems unlikely.

Are the max/min values correct in your clientraw files? That would at least tell you whether it’s an underlying data problem or something related to the production of the daily email.

Yes - the values are correct in the clientraw and clientrawtemp files.
I have had other issues too though recently - the main screen has kept flicking to blank graphs and zero values every now and again, then returning to normal.

I don’t think there is a template for the daily email report and as the underlying data is correct I think your only option is to email Brian directly to report the problem.

Thank you. I have got around it by creating a custom weather report, and all the data is correct. Very odd!

Thanks again
Chris

That seems to be exactly the same problem. I wonder if it’s related to the main screen flicking issue? It happened for me when I installed build 149 too.

Unlikely as others are seeing similar problems with the email content and aren’t reporting flickering issues.

The flickering screen coincides with the screen capture and is less noticeable if the main screen is at the default size I customised my main screen size recently and it became noticeable this applies to b145 and b149

There used to be an option so that the screen was not resized during capture, but Brian removed that recently :slightly_frowning_face:

The screen actually loses all graphs and data for a good few minutes, rather than just the momentary flicker that occurs during the screen capture. Having said that, doing a full re-install seems to have stopped that for now . . .

Are the graphs fully up to date when that happens, i.e. no missing recent data? I’m just wondering whether WD is reading the history from your station when this happens? Others have mentioned that WD seems to go to sleep when it’s reading the history which sounds like what you’re seeing.
