Didn’t pickup on that. The ws28xx driver has no genArchiveRecords method, there is a comment in the driver to the effect that hardware record generation should not be implemented until archive records can be read at a faster rate than they are currently. Gary -- You received this message beca

Just a clarification: on startup, weewx does indeed call the genStartRecords() method on the driver. However, the default implementation is to just call genArchiveRecords() with the last good timestamp in the database as an argument. If the driver supports it, this effectively means a "catch up" is

Not sure the WeeWX engine behaviour (backfill only requested during WeeWX startup/restart) will change, you probably have more chance of changing the driver behaviour. Regarding your loop data question. Unfortunately there is little that can be done if the station does not maintain the same lev

Thank you for the explanation, Gary, everything now seems perfectly logical to me. Being a software developer myself I have a feeling that it probably isn't an easy change task to let weewx backfill values under such circumstances, nevertheless I'll write that on my christmas wishlist ;) Maybe

If you call the ‘top of the hour’ archive records rogue records then yes they had a hand in preventing backfill, provided a restart occurred only those archive records stored in the station after the most recent ‘top of the hour’ archive record would be downloaded. Arguably though the reason the

Gary - thanks for that good description of when backfilling occurs although I have a feeling that the original poster had to restore an old copy of the database in order for backfilling to occur - hence my suspicion about a rogue dateTime in the database which would not backfill. On Wednesday

Hi, The backfill behaviour you are seeing is expected behaviour for the current codebase, in a nutshell WeeWX only attempts to download historical records when WeeWX starts. Explanation. Drivers for stations that have the ability to store archive records may implement a genStartupRecords metho

You never said that it recovered by itself after 0100 - in fact you gave the impression that it only started working again after you stopped weewx, restored an old database and restarted weew and that then it did the backfill and recovered. Well that is how I understood your posts anyway. On

do you have a rogue dateTime in the database? The log you posted ONLY has database records added at 22:00, 23:00, 24:00 and a message every 10 minutes saying there is no new data - press SET to resynch. I repeat - how do you know that it has reconnected?? No new data implies that it has NOT co

are you certain it has reconnected?? the archive records are only being generated at 1 hr intervals - is this correct?? there does not appear to be any communication between archive events - very strange. The log message instructs you to resynch by pressing SET - did you do that?? I am far fro
