QC is filtering out the bad values, but weewx server is currently resetting after 4 failed retries on regular basis while the phantom station haunts the vp2. there is no radio signal being transmitted to provide the extraTemp1 values, it is just a figment of data logger’s imagination. the phantom battery-low apparently from the ex-station stopped yesterday, but the data logger is still reporting the extraTemp1 despite my (failed) wee_device instruction just now to desist
i do ‘wee_device —set-transmitter-type=2,10’ and it gives ’no <ack>’ error. then i do ‘wee_device —info’ and it reports ch2 still enabled so it is not just a case of resetting memory/power weewx v4.5.1 using python3.7 on RPi 4B running buster with usb/serial (vp2 firmware is from 2004. lately weewx has been resetting whenever the (now ex-) extra station reported low battery, so this bogus extraTemp1 value upsetting weewx is kinda understandable → i need to turn all vestiges of the (ex-) extra station off) > On 25 May 2022, at 5:53 pm, Stephen Hocking <[email protected]> wrote: > > Given such a whacko figure, perhaps under the [[Corrections]] section under > [StdCalibrate], or more suitably, something under [StdQC]. > > On Wed, 25 May 2022 at 17:45, Graham Eddy <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > my old vantage pro2’s additional wireless temp station at ch2 (iss is at ch1) > has carked it (crushed in tree fall). it exists no more; it is not > transmitting. my vp2 data logger is faithfully reporting a phantom value of > about 150 C (not bad for a river!) every few seconds, how do i disable this > phantom? > > i tried (with weewx not running) ‘wee_device --set-transmitter-type=2,10’ to > set ch2 to none, but all i get is an error ‘No <ACK> received from Vantage > console’, and it continues reporting the phantom when i start weewx again. > how can i stop this phantom? > cheers > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "weewx-user" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/weewx-user/70718B18-F8FE-49F8-8303-7BE22F28B8DC%40geddy.au > > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/weewx-user/70718B18-F8FE-49F8-8303-7BE22F28B8DC%40geddy.au?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer>. > > > -- > "I and the public know > what all schoolchildren learn > Those to whom evil is done > Do evil in return" W.H.
