It should send the buffered obs_air and obs_sky packets from those sensors when the Hub comes back up, but does not replay rapid_wind…

Then I will wait for that option. No need to waste WeatherFlow resources on a one use fix.

No worries. The case of running with neither internet nor BLE-connected app is something we want to support in general, even if @GaryFunk is the only one using it!

My backfill issue has been solved and every morning the nights data populates beautifully!!
Unfortunately the sky has stopped talking to the hub and has gone quite, battery state was good, need to fly down and see what’s going on!
Gary won’t be the only one. I have a kit still in the box waiting to take to our cabin and install there, where we have no cell service and no internet.

Stop showing love for me in public. People will think good about me…

David (and others) are slowly leaning that many of us actually are prepared to keep running without Internet.

We all certainly know who is David’s favorite this week! 
Some day, I’d like to see the Hub act like a Davis logger over BLE. There’s a lot of benefits to having it store data for download instead of requiring a 24/7 connection…

Hi, what is the offline data storage durations for both the Tempest device and the Hub?
basic answer
And to add the tempest, it can hold +/- 2 hours of data without a radio link to the hub.

Hi @tony.mcgee,
This is why I did not report this rain event…
Yesterday I had a power outage of less than a couple of hours during a strong thunderstorm that dropped 2" rain.
It took out my hubs and my internet during that period. From what I worked out the
power went off at 3:39pm and was restored at 5:15pm. So about 1hr 36min.
I have waited 24hrs for the data to backfill and it has not filled the entire gap in the rain records which I need to send in my report.
What I notice is that some sensor fields are filled while other sensors are empty and some filled a portion in the middle.
I have some Skys, an air and a Tempest.
The Tempest lightning records filled up.
but the tempest rain and all the other sensors did not (The rain continued extreme during the gap)
But the wind on the Tempest filled some of the gap leaving a gap each side of the fill:
A Sky on a hub with nothing else connected only lost 11 minutes of records from all its sensors:
A hub with 3 skys and an air
all roughly lost 8 minutes of rain and wind
The air filled its temp and pressure ok but lost all lightning during the outage
If anyone wants to look deeper my stations are:
Tempest (firmware 143 for Sky and Air)
Tempest (hub firmware 146 interim testing, Tempest 142)
Tempest ((firmware 143 for Sky)
I do not need the gaps filled. I am simply reporting it for others to learn from if you are curious.
It would be easy to do the same experiment by voluntarily turning the power off the hubs.
cheers Ian
