weatherlink live not showing .1 increments
« on: May 05, 2021, 02:25:14 AM »
I've just bought the weatherlink live and have 2 questions.
1, why won't it show 0.1c increments like the console does? Instead it rounds up to nearest 1C.
Surely if the equipment goes down to this sensitivity then this device should.
It's not that accurate if it can't.
Perhaps a future upgrade it might.
2, As I've bought thus in the 5th month of the year is there anyway of setting the rainfall to my current yearly total?.
Thanks
Warren

On the web site... Account > Display Formats.
or
On the app... Account > Units > Display Resolution.

Resolution shouldn't be confused with accuracy.

Web site... Device > Device Configuration > ISS (Edit) > Advanced Settings > Annual rainfall.

Similar in App.

Have a look around in the settings ;)

Thanks. Have changed temperature so ok there.
Still not sure on  adding Jan to April rainfall to this year's total rainfall.

But it won't let you pit a figure in with a total up to May. Just let's you change what month the year starts from.

Nope, it absolutely will not let you fudge data. However, in my experience, having had my VP2+ and WLL 6100 since Aug 2020, my data has been updated right on the money. I've even had several power outages, I'm on a rural electrical coop and the outages are frequent, including Internet outages. The WLL 6100 has its own battery backup and I have it on a UPS anyway. Whenever my power and Internet was down, my VP2+ of course kept plugging away and my WLL 6100 kept right on storing the data. When the power came back on and my Internet was once again operational, my WLL worked as advertised. It uploaded the missing stored data to weatherlink.com and my charts are absolutely perfect from the day I installed my VP2+ and my WLL Live 6100. I love it.

You're still not looking in the right place: Just follow Mark's instructions to the letter, ie:

Web site... Device > Device Configuration > ISS (Edit) > Advanced Settings > Annual rainfall

ISS = the ID to which the ISS is set (probably ID1, but not necessarily)

Sorry, but I don't usually have time to help with individual issues by email unless you are a Prodata customer. Please post your issue in the relevant forum section here & I will comment there if I have anything useful to add.

Followed the instructions. This was new to me. I was not aware that you could actually edit the total rainfall amount! I've never needed to, but now I'm aware that it IS possible!

Thanks John!

Yes, it will. Follow the instructions very carefully.

There are 2 (two) places you can edit.
Choose ID1
At the bottom after you make the choice there is an ADVANCED SETTINGS button.
