Steve, Sat down with your gauge-data.txt and a VM and was able to reproduce your issue. I was right in as much as it is the N/A entries in gauge-data.txt that cause the bad behaviour of the gauges, but rather than the windchill and heatindex etc values (fields wchill and heatindex in gauge-data.txt) being the problem it is having N/A in the daily extremes (fields TwchillL and TheatindexL) that was the cause. The scaling routine takes note of the daily extremes and a value of N/A causes the incorrect scaling.
rtgd does things slightly differently, rtgd will not put N/A in any observation/aggregate field, if an observation is None rtgd will use 0 rather than 'N/A'. So that is why your gauges were previously working, you were using rtgd and it is immune from the issue. So what of a way ahead? I suggest that you disable (rather than uninstall) the SteelSeries Gauges extension and install rtgd: 1. edit weewx.conf, locate [[SteelSeries]] under [StdReport] and comment out [[SteelSeries]] and all its subordinate settings 2. do a config reload or restart weeWX and confirm that gauge-data.txt is no longer being produced 3. delete gauge-data.txt from your weeWX machine and web server. On your weeWX machine gauge-data.txt will be in public_html/ss, on your web server in will be in the Weather/ss directory relative to your web root directory. This is important, we don't want to be chasing our tails with multiple gauge-data.txt files in existence. 4. install rtgd and confirm that a loop based gauge-gauge-data.txt onto your web server, because it is loop based we can't use the normal weeWX FTP/rsync mechanism. Chances are your previous rtgd install used HTPP POST to transfer the file, if you copied over your old [RealtimeGaugeData] config settings this will likely already be setup correctly. The way to check is to see if gauge-data.txt in being regularly updated on your web server, if it is all should be good, if not let me know. I will look into getting the gauge-data.txt template used by the SteelSeries Gauges extension changed so that it can appropriately handle None values.
