Need to supress UV readings going to Weather Underground (WU)

[StarMan703]

I have a 2004 Vantage Pro2 and have started getting sporadic UV readings when sending data up to  Weather Underground (WU). Problem is I "do not have a UV sensor". I did inspect the outside enclosure and found ants were in there playing cards, staying up late and laying eggs. My air compressor helped them move out.

I pull the loop data locally for a taskbar display and am able to use "sed" to strip out the "16.0" random reading.

 I would like to supress WEEWX output of UV readings going to WU?

I don't post to WU but I have noticed this too lately with my VP1 station.  I'll get the occasional UV reading of 16.0 without having a UV sensor.  I get a "missing image" icon on my modified standard skin web page.  I don't recall this ever being a problem in the past.

You could try forcing UV to null. In weewx.conf:

    UV = None

Hey wfs I have to admit i got tired of replacing batteries so replaced the supercap 10F with a 20F but that was almost 2 months ago. Could be related who knows?

Hello Tom thank you very much, that has stopped WU showing a maxed out UV on WU! BTW excellent customer service, Thank You!

Update: Found water leaking into outside enclosure around Solar Panel, likely the cause of my random readings as water had splashed on to UV sensor plug in. Sealed the panel with Silicone sealant, so far so good. Ordered a new Solar panel to be ready for when needed.
