I would like to add more data about what weewx reports shows: data are 5minutes reports (rain is daily sum) sample 0: just before I reboot my sensor sample 1: after it received this 21.8mm rain from last night.
Sample: 0 1 2 3 4 5 Rain: 0 21.8 21.8 21.8 21.8 21.8 Rain rate: 0 34.9 87.2 87.2 58.1 0 Le mercredi 28 juillet 2021 à 14:10:21 UTC+2, wysiwyg a écrit : > Hi ! > > I have a situation where I'm not sure about weewx behavior and how to deal > with it :-). > > I have made my own rain sensors: It reports rain every 2min30 and reports > 0mm when there's no rain. > Rainrate calculation is not done and not emitted by the sensor: Weewx has > to handle it. > > Now come a situation: My sensor crashed yesterday and did not reported > anything over the night (it was raining). > I rebooted it a few minutes ago, without power cycle, so I don't loose the > rain counter of the night => the sensor sent 21.8mm from the whole night in > one shot. > > I would expect that the rainrate shall not be calculated...or maybe shall > be calculate with a time span between last and previous sample (yesterday > before it crashed). > > it seems not working this way as weewx reported: > - 34.9mm/h at next report following the 21.8mm record. > - 87.2mm/h the following report 5min later. > > I assume maybe weewx consider "not rain data" = "0 mm of rain" ? > > I have a couple of questions: > - Is this behavior expected or maybe it's something that could be improved > ? > - Can I delete those rainrate sample from database ? > of course my daily rain graph is a bit weird, but I want to keep the > 21.8mm (so monthly or yearly records are ok), but I don't want to have my > yearly/alltime max rainrate using this wrong data. > > best regards, > > > > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
