Hi all,

after an electrical power down, weewx stopped updating data on 2019-07-12 20:30:00.

I'm using version 3.8.0.

Below is a a section of the syslog file after restarting weewx:

Jul 18 08:44:58 raspberrypi weewx[6491]: engine: Clock error is 1.20 seconds (positive is fast)

Any suggestions, please?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

After a power interruption to a Davis station you can have some issues with the logger and time. Try following the steps for corrupt station memory (http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#Corrupt_station_memory). Read the section through in full before doing anything. Then make sure you stop WeeWX and do a logger memory dump before clearing the logger; this will help in minimising any data loss.

Hi again,

it worked after unplug the console, wait a few minutes and then:

wee_device --clear-memory

After that, I restarted WeeWX.

Thank you very much ;-)

Good to hear it was sorted. Doing the dump will dump all the archive records stored in the logger, there may be lots or there may be nonel, WeeWX will pick up and save any archive records in the logger that are not in the WeeWX database. Any records that are already in the database are ignored. It is helpful for minimising any data loss but not essential.
