Hello. First of all, thanks for the information. Second, I understand what you're saying, although looking at the apiLog.txt file, I don't see the information you put in the sample extract, and I attached an example of what I see. The concept is clear to me, CRON calls when it corresponds to api.php, but the second difference is how long it takes to get the information from the data logger.
Regarding the second question, maybe it has to do with this, but I don't know. Today's minimum temperature was 12.7 ºC at 7:35. This data appears in the station console and in the Weatherlink API (I leave the extract below), but the template prints the minimum temperature at 7:45, 10 minutes later. That has happened to me with other data, for example, wind gust, even collected by the cache and dumped into the database 15 minutes later. I don't know if I explained myself this time.
