problems with UV and Solar Radiations uploads to Wunderground

I recently upgraded from an onetime VPro1 to a new VPro two and I added the UV and Solar Radiation sensors with the new unit. I configured Cumulus to bear witness and plot the data from those sensors and everything looks fine there. I also upload data to Wunderground and I checked the choice in Cumulus to add the UV and Solar Radiation data to the upload. Still, when I view that data on Wunderground, information technology looks "spotty" whereas the other temperature, humidity, pressure, etc. data looks fine. I've emailed William at Wunderground to meet if he knows what is happening and I too thought I would postal service here to see if anyone had seen this before. I've also attached my FTP and Debug logs in hopes that one of the gurus volition be able to glean some info and assistance me find a solution.

Here is what the data looks like on Wunderground:

From the debug log, I tin can meet that Cumulus is sending reasonable values for UV and Solar Radiation, and so it appears to exist an outcome at the WU cease. Something to practice with 'rapid fire', mayhap.

Yous seem to have something else updating WU in addition to Cumulus. Perhaps in that location's a connection betwixt that and the problem at WU. Maybe WU finds that confusing.

Well, I was using VWS to update WU before I started using Cumulus. When I got my new VPro2, I continued to utilize VWS. However, Just a couple days ago I switched over to using Cumulus to update WU and I unchecked the "Update Wunderground" option in VWS. When I went back to bank check those settings a few minutes ago, I noted that the "Upload Archived Information" option is VWS was still checked (and I guess when I unchecked the "Update Wunderground" option I causeless that all information would stop flowing to WU, just apparently not).

Then, to make a long story fifty-fifty longer, just now I unchecked the other option in VWS so now no data should be flowing to WU from VWS.

How did you figure out that data was flowing to WU from another source, and is there a way you can cheque that for me now that I accept both options turned off in VWS?

Thanks for your assist!

I thought it odd that some of your tabular data had cloud cover, so I clicked 'comma delimited file' and saw that just a few entries were from Cumulus. So I recall the problem was a combination of the multiple upload source and the mode WU handles rapid fire (i.e. how it decides which uploads to salvage).

And so I think that cloud data came from my local METAR station that I had originally configured VWS to merge with my observation information.

And then practise you think it would be OK for me to turn rapid fire back on in Cumulus?

I suspect so. Once WU has forgotten that it was getting data from VWS it should starting time handling the Cumulus uploads correctly.

Everything seems to working fine now. The but issue is that the UV and Solar Radiation information is not showing upward in the WU Tabular columns just I suspect that this may modify once they get a full day of correct information.

Thanks for your help Steve!
