Well, it reset the etday at midnight I'm going to say. Nothing has been displayed until now and ET is accumulated mostly during the day. I'm puzzled with this one as it makes zero sense. The way ET works on the console, the WLL and weatherlink.com, and in the real-time stats from WiFiLogger is as the various parameters that make up ET grow during a day, the etday is updated. At the end of the day, it is zeroed.
So, the ET value in WeeWX does not accumulate/add that value each time it is reported. It stays 100 times what is in the loop. etday=1 ET=100, etday=2 ET=200, if etday stops growing at 2, ET will remain at 200. Somewhere, the calculation is just flat incorrect. WeeWX has no idea what device is sending the data as the driver is not tied to hardware. No more records are being sent than are reflected in the loop records, archives are being created every 300 seconds. I'm going to install a different skin tomorrow and see if this remains the same. Stay tuned. On Mon, Dec 28, 2020 at 6:58 PM bell...@gmail.com <bellri...@gmail.com> wrote: > You and me both...
