[IpObserver] Yearly Raining WS3500 Weather Station

[ATNALDC]

Behavior

Since last firmware update on WS3500 weather station the yearlyrainin value is default set to -9999 but this value now comes in the totalrainin field.

Possible Solution

Create a new channel called "Total Rain" to register totalrainin value

Your Environment

• Version used: 4.2.2
• Operating System and version: Raspbian Buster
• Weather Station Sainlogic WS3500

Can you post some logs or more info on what the data looks like?

Hi Skinah,

This is the trace log:

Update received:tempf=54.5&humidity=91&dewptf=52.0&windchillf=54.5&winddir=167&windspeedmph=0.22&windgustmph=1.12&rainin=0.000&dailyrainin=0.000&weeklyrainin=0.000&monthlyrainin=0.571&yearlyrainin=-9999&totalrainin=17.732&solarradiation=29.92&UV=0&indoortempf=72.0&indoorhumidity=54&absbaromin=27.900&baromin=30.215&lowbatt=0&dateutc=now&softwaretype=EasyWeatherPro_V5.1.6&action=updateraw&realtime=1&rtfreq=5

As you can see the parameter yearlyrainin is set by default to -9999 and the totalrainin corresponds to the yearlyrain

Other thing I've seen is that in IpObserverHandler, in setupServerChannels function, the createChannelHandler for Absolute Pressure is missing. Than could be the reason why this channel doesn't updates.

Thank you very much;
Kind regards,

Are you aware of some release notes or changelog? As this seems a breaking change on the firmware side. Not sure if this was intentionally or if it is a bug.

I've seen that since yesterday there is a new firmware release but nothing seems to be changed. The notes doesn't especify nothing but "fix some bugs".

The data format is still the same:

Update received:tempf=58.6&humidity=76&dewptf=51.1&windchillf=58.6&winddir=163&windspeedmph=0.45&windgustmph=1.12&rainin=0.000&dailyrainin=0.000&weeklyrainin=0.000&monthlyrainin=0.571&yearlyrainin=-9999&totalrainin=17.732&solarradiation=116.71&UV=1&indoortempf=72.1&indoorhumidity=55&absbaromin=27.965&baromin=30.280&lowbatt=0&dateutc=now&softwaretype=EasyWeatherPro_V5.1.7&action=updateraw&realtime=1&rtfreq=5
