I'm not completely following your question, but it sounds like this is strictly an issue with the simulator. WeeWX itself is always in "realtime" mode.
If 'resume' is true, then the generator should continue where it left off --- with the last timestamp in the database. It should never use the "current values." If it seems like it is, that could be because the simulation period is very long, so the values do not change very quickly. That's all I can offer without more details. -tk On Thu, Mar 1, 2018 at 1:18 AM, Roebert Akraks <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > short introduction (skip if not interested): :) > I'm new to this group, my Name is Robert, I'm from Austria, and as I work > in a company producing (besides other things) temperature measurement > equipment, I'm building a weatherstation myself.
