30MAY 11PM LoRaWAN radio network rebuild completed

More

I was using TheThingsNetwork (TTN) cloud-based service for LoRaWAN Network Server, feeding from my local LoRa Gateway. Unfortunately, this would break every time NBN went down, which is often, and data would be lost.

I am now hosting a TTN Open Source LoRaWAN Network Server in-house, so all processing is done locally and does not rely on NBN. (The weather website is not updated while NBN is down, but the data is no longer being lost in that duration.)

gw1000 controller has been failing intermittently for a few weeks. Upgraded it with replacement gw2000 today.
27MAR Archive: scrollable strips of charts

More

Weekly charts for every sensor for all time that they have been in use – an archive of all such charts – organised by sensor within cluster.

On reveal of the chart strip, it places the chart that includes the focus date in the middle. The focus date is selectable, but must be set before the strip chart is revealed (and loaded) the first time – you might need to refresh the page first. It allows you to, for example, start displaying on a specific past date e.g. see the flood of 14/10/2022 under unclustered/River Level – but remember to set the focus date before revealing the strip chart. Then with that focus date, reveal VP2/Rain to see the rainfall at the time.

Each chart strip is scrollable. This gives a great sense of values changing over spans of many weeks or months.

For efficiency reasons, images are loaded only as they are requested by scrolling past the end of the displayed area.
07FEB River Level sensors changed

More

The level is not the depth, though it is related. The level is relative to some fixed point, not necessarily the river bottom (which moves).

Anabranch sensor: A new ultrasound-based River Level sensor has been deployed, affixed under my new footbridge (old bridge washed away in flood). This measures level of river on my side of island.

Merged sensor: The old pressure-based River Level sensor (transmitter nearly washed away with old bridge) has been re-positioned 30 meters downriver from island. This measures level of whole (merged branches) of river.

Old "river level" measures are nearly the same as the Anabranch level.
