This weekend I'll have the first major test of my new weatherstation as the remnants of hurricane Florence pass by my home (near Charlotte, NC). I have a whole house generator and ups backup for my server/computer/console, but my past experience is that my cable internet connection only lasts for about an hour after the power goes off. I'd like to keep broadcasting the weather data to WU and my new website, but I'm wondering if there is a break in internet connection, will WIFI logger automatically transmit all of the data it has collected while the internet is down, or will these "packets" be lost as far as WU is concerned?
At this moment WU has not such option. WFL is sending current data. Read from console -> send to WU in same time (up to 5s tolerant).
This option what you ask is called "catch up". First thing to do is to make option to export archive records as a current value.
When new arch. record will appear then WFL will take it and send to WU, PWS etc. using statistical arch. vaules.
When this option will be done, then next to do is "catch up".
To send arch. you can use only FTP file, or WL.COM.
WFL has special memory which is not erase while rebooting. This is the place to save last export date.
This is volatile memory, when power goes down in console, catch up time will be erased. So it won't be perfect.
Original IP logger is asking server first what was the last archive.
WFL will keep it as long as power is up, but WU is not serving such info, so after power restore this info will disappear and WFL start from current records.
Catch up data will come from archive records. Current data will be not stored in RAM.
PWS probably don't accept old data. I need to test it, but I think PWS is storing data with own server time.
