Yesterday rain is in reality, day -2

[druss67]

Hi everybody,

I am new french happy user of saratoga-weather script.
I use your script with a meteohub on a sheevaplug.
I read this forum since many months, this is first time I post here.

I have notice on my website a little bug.
Yesterday rain is not good, script show rain day -2.
See screenshots.

Can you tell me how and where 'yesterday' value is read ?

Many thanks in advance,
Regards.

Hi Druss,

Meteohub does not provide a direct tag for 'yesterday' values, so a yesterday.html Meteohub template file is run at 23:59 to capture the day1_* tags and create yday-* tags as the file is uploaded to yesterday.php.

If you are running your Meteohub system with the local timezone set, and have the upload schedule for yesterday.html set as shown
then the capture of the day1_ values should be done ok.

It would help to have the URL to your weather website so I could check in greater detail.

Best regards,
Ken

Hi Ken,

Many thanks for your help.

Hi Druss,

Looking at http://druss.alwaysdata.net/meteo/MHtags.php?sce=dump shows

$WX['actual_utcdate'] = '20120427172518';
$WX['actual_utcdate2'] = '27.04.2012 17:25:18';

$WX['actual_localdate'] = '20120427192518';
$WX['actual_localdate2'] = '27.04.2012 19:25:18';

and http://druss.alwaysdata.net/meteo/yesterday.php?sce=view shows

$WX['yday_utcdate'] = '20120426215509';
$WX['yday_localdate'] = '20120426235509';

shows the yesterday data was captured on 2012-04-26 at 23:55:09 which seems to be working correctly (capturing day1_ data as yday_ data) so the cron on Meteohub seems to be working correctly.

Hi Ken,

I have checked and for yesterday the value should be 3.0mm

Code:

$WX['yday_rain0_ratemax_time'] = '20120427200644';
$WX['yday_rain0_ratemax_mm'] = '0.8';
$WX['yday_rain0_total_mm'] = '3.00';
$WX['yday_rain0_total_time'] = '20120427235133';
$WX['yday_rain0_days'] = '1';

And if I look on my website yesterday value is 0.0

Code:

Rain Rate (/hr): 0.0 mm
Rain Yesterday: 0.00 mm
This Month: 80.30 mm

What I must understand ? I have to found a mistake on the script ?

Ahh... found the issue.  In MH-defs.php there is

Code:

$yesterdayrain = MH_seqval('seqday1_rain0_total_mm',1,$uomrain);

I've done an update to the MH-defs.php to fix the issue.  Use the update utility to get the updated template (28-Apr-2012).

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Best regards,
Ken

Hi Ken,

Thank you, I upload and test right now.

Hi Ken,

You added this line in MH-defs.php, to solve the issue, no ?

Code:

if(isset($WX['yday_rain0_total_mm'])) {$yesterdayrain = $WX['yday_rain0_total_mm']; }

I have tested but issue is still here...
Or I have made a mistake, MH-defs-prototype.txt should be modified in MH-defs.php, no ?
Or, I need to use the template

Code:

http://druss.alwaysdata.net/meteo/MH-plugin/MHconfig/

?

Best regards,
Druss

Hi Druss,

Yes, the update was to MH-defs-prototype.txt which should go in your ./MHconfig/ directory, then run (from your browser) ./MHconfig/index.php and click on the link for MH-defs.php and save the resulting file to your main website directory.
It's done that way since Meteohub includes both sensor-names and units in the tags (unlike the other weather software).

Yes, the one line was changed to test for and use the yday_rainN_total_UNITS value for $yesterdayrain.

Looking at http://druss.alwaysdata.net/meteo/MH-defs.php?sce=view shows you are still running V1.05, and not the fixed V1.06 version and that is likely the reason it is not yet working on your site.

Best regards,
Ken
