Sunlight: Sunlight Hours Unavailable in Alternate DashBoard
« on: March 08, 2015, 10:54:26 AM »
Hi,

Just noticed this morning that my sunlight data is missing. On the place in the alternate dashboard where the information should appear I have this message:

Sunlight:
Sunlight
Hours
Unavailable

Not sure if this is somehow related to the time change or if something else is wrong. Please advise.  Thanks.

Best regards,

Bob

Mine says that today is 59 minutes longer than yesterday. #-o I will just wait it out and it will probably self correct tomorrow.

Be patient.  This parameter will again be correctly calculated by WD by tomorrow.  I compute these values independently of WD in order to avoid this glitch.  Scott's dashboard still uses WD's testtags.php values, and they're whacko right after the change to and from DST.  The code looks for out-of-range values and then nixes the display by saying 'Unavailable'.
