Re: RealtimePHP[164]]: General Error uploading to realtime.txt

Your ISP doing some maintenance/upgrades perhaps?

In the next build I've simplified the messaging when a simple timeout occurs.

Re: Minimum data set is not available

I think the message is valid, it is just telling you that MX was unable to honour your requested logging interval for that interval. I think it would be wrong to silently skip processing a logging interval. If you get this frequently then I assume you are using a 1-minute logging interval? That shou...

Re: Web hosting - any takers?

That's a great offer :clap:

I'm self-hosting on a rPi for now, a fixed IP makes that easy, things may change in the future of course.

Re: WeatherCloud ERROR HttpClient.Timeout of 15 seconds elapsing. Inner Exception.

It's normal, the upload has timed out for some reason, probably their server a little busy at that point, or... who knows.

I have tidied up the error messages for timeouts in the next release.

Re: V4 b4022 - HTTPS Error

This is a different error. The remote server is not able to decrypt the message MX has sent, a bit of googling shows this is normally because the remote server needs an update to support the latest secure certificate exchange mechanisms.

Re: Suggestion: add Local Copy option to Extra Webfiles

I'm wondering how this would work. So, in addition to the existing copy function (ie Upload not ticked), you're suggesting that if the local copy option is enabled, then items with Upload ticked should also copy. In that case should the remote path for those items be taken as relative to the local c...

Ah, I missed the bit about app passwords remaining active. As you were then! :roll: You already have to use app passwords with Gmail and MX.

Yes, it looks like they only support the current OS and previous version, so 11 & 12 for Debian/Raspberry Pi OS

Re: WXSIM

The Ecowitt does not use a UV sensor, it doesn't even have a proper solar sensor. It has a lux sensor which is converted in software to solar (reasonably ok), but then just divides the lux the by a constant number to guess the UV. A real UV sensor would add significantly to the price. I believe they...

Re: CMX v4 b4022 with Davis Weatherlink Cloud (VP2)

And the answer is.... It decodes it perfectly and uses the dew point! I have no idea at this point why it isn't on your new install. :bash:

Re: CMX v4 b4022 with Davis Weatherlink Cloud (VP2)

OK, that is truly weird Paul. I double checked the code, and there were zero changes to how MX reads the dew point between 4021 and 4022! :?

I'll inject your data into my debug system and see what happens...
