[Untitled-1] at this zoom level every bar is half an hour, so if it rains at a rate of 30 mm/h for two bars, the accumulated amount should be close to 30 mm, but it isn’t. zooming in shows that the rate is more like 3mm/h. but zooming even further out still shows the bug. edit: apparently this is …

Today’s release of Smart Weather Apps (v3.2) adds the old “rain rate” graph back as an option. Tap or click on the select box on the graph and you’ll see it.

David, a fourth option is needed … even if you do not like it! :wink: “Rain Rate” A line graph that shows the current rate (1.2 inches/hour, 2.3 mm/hour, etc.) as a continuous changing line.

good question, but I kind of addressed this in the words directly following it. Different users have different preferences. An option to select the best way for a specific user is one way to handle your question, If not, as I said, “Weatherflow has to make the best choice for the user. They have th…

[image] ray: A line graph that shows the current rate (1.2 inches/hour, 2.3 mm/hour, etc.) as a continuous changing line. This is the same as #3, above - line or bar, it’s the same data. And since there are so many periods of zero rain, the bar tends to work better than the line.

my guess is that with ‘continuous changing line’ he means a line with better horizontal, time resulotion, so more points on the horizontal axis.

Ah, ok. That’s a different issue, then. related to the way our graphing system works. Currently, the graphs let you zoom and in and out and the data gets thinned as you zoom out. At the “deepest” level, you see raw 1-min observations. As you zoom out, the 1-min records get thinned to one record ever…

My phone only shows 32 points in your graphs on any screen. Surely any phone can handle more than that. 500.000 data points in a year is not what we expect on a phone. The highest number would be the max number of pixels along a horizontal axis, but even half of that or a quarter would be great. An…

sunny, If I understand correctly, the graphing software is in the application and the data is sent to the application. The phone applications can’t handle being sent the mass amount of data. The data on the servers is stored in a database so server storage is not an issue.

yeah it kind of seems to send more data then can be seen at once on the screen. however, at the most detailed zoom level, it sends 1 day of data. And that currently is already a lot of scrolling for 1440 points of data. But nowhere near 500.000. The phone could store easily a week of high res data …

I am worried the phone application will become so bloated I won’t use it and then how will I add and delete devices.
