Wind gust speed in alldata is not the same as on the Davis Conole

Post by iatros » Thu Dec 14, 2017 4:22 pm

We quite a nice storm last night. My console shows 93 kmh at 4:25 am; whereas the alldata value at that moment is only 64.5 (I corrected this later manually).
How are 5-minutes-values of such highly variable measurements as wind gust speed calculated in alldata? Could those 93 kmh have been just a short peak which "escaped" ?

This is something we discussed here many times, my main question is - which software do you use?

If you use software which supports the API directly, this should not be happening, if you do not, then this is a consequence of the cron job interval

Sorry, I did not realize there was such a discussion.
No software, just Meteobridge...

Hi,
ok, that is strange, MB should be sending maximum value, not current value. Do you see the maximum in your MB control panel?
