Apologies if I ruffled anyone's feathers.
I used the Ecowitt data as an easy way to graphically show what I've seen.
Merging 2 weewx instances and my cumulus database wouldn't be so straightforward.
Again, apologies in advance, if you don't believe this to be relevant.
I believed my sensors never missed a beat, until 1 of my sensors failed and didn't trigger the weewx alarm I had configured.
Confused, I sat watching the weewx driver in test mode.
I had a sensor with me.
I removed the batteries.
I watched the signal count decrease ( it actually goes down in 0.3333 intervals ).
I let it go down to 0
I noticed a peculiarity.
The gateway continued to transmit the last received sensor value all the time the signal count was dropping.
Further it did this for quite some time after the signal count had reduced to zero.
As I have sensors in both our freezers, with alarms set should the temperature rise. I realised that if one of those sensors failed I still wouldn't know.
Consequently I added the ability to record my sensor signals and set alarms should they drop to 3.
To my surprise, I was flooded with emails.
I then added charts for all my signal levels (unfortunately I only have this ability on one of my weewx instances).
My gateways are only 30in apart, my console about 20ft from the gateways.
The chart is yesterdays main sensor signals (I have separate charts for my soil sensors and extra temperature signals).
From a curiosity point of view, I am now going to add the same ability to my other 2 weewx instances.
