If you point your platformio.ini file to the repo’s master branch, it should work. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been rolled into a new release yet, so it’s not yet…[Read more]

That said, you don’t have to clear the cache for all websites, but just do it for MonitorMyWatershed. That’s not that painful. Clearing it for all websites is somewhat painful, so would be clear in how you make the recommendation.

    Please let us know if you see any slowdowns from the web-browser or gateway errors from devices trying to post data, just in case there’s yet another issue we didn’t notice.

We’ll be doing a planned maintenance shutdown today at around 12:30 ET to fix the issue, and it will likely take about an hour. We’ll let you know when it is back up and running.

I would be interested in connecting with you to more of your perspectives and long-term needs, if that’s of interest to you.

    I would like to add that our team overseeing the Monitor My Watershed portal has also noticed some issues on our end, which are separate from the Hologram issues, and we are working on improving MMW services.

It just won’t work using I2C protocols.

Part of the issue was a 5.5 hour internet outage to our servers caused by a Comcast fiber-optic line issue on March 31 in the afternoon. But we’ve had other issues that we’re trying to track…[Read more]

The data are safe, it’s just a connection issue for the visualization tools. You can follow our progress on the Hot Fix here: https://github.com/ODM2/ODM2DataSharingPortal/issues/473

    We last updated it in April 2019 with our v0.2 release: https://github.com/EnviroDIY/LearnEnviroDIY/releases

    So it is written for ModularSensors v0.21.2.

I’m always careful to place my antenna in the top of the box, keeping the wires, battery…[Read more]

I wonder if it is somehow connected to our last release on Thu. Jan. 23. As Sara mentioned, we didn’t touch the code related to the HTTP post request, but at that time we did make some changes to our virtual machine host OS and our router.

    Does it make a difference if you post to monitormywatershed.org, which is now our primary hostname,…[Read more]
