I have the following issue:

Stephanes-MacBook-Air:~$ curl http://192.168.2.212:8080/weather/current
{"outsideTemp": 27.37, "skyTemp": 25.41, "rain": true, "readingTimestamp": "2017-08-22 08:24:09"}

{"outsideTemp": 27.39, "skyTemp": 25.11, "rain": true, "readingTimestamp": "2017-08-22 08:24:15"}

The sensor is dry, it's cloud less.
As you can see, it seems to switch from false to true regardless.

Would you have any idea why after a while running (let's say an hour or so), it is no longer responding to curl requests?
I have to restart the weatherMicroService.py script

I'm thinking of building a cloud sensor for my weather station a and discovered your solution. It's pretty simple and cheap to build, but I'm not sure about the exact type of the sensor. Are you using the 90° FOV version or another one? They're available down to 5°. Is that parameter important? Also, is the sensor orientation important? So is pointing exactly upwards required, or any angle suffices where the sky view is clear WRT the FOV of the sensor?

Hello,

I have the latest indi lib installed.

I'm testing the charts again and there is something odd about cloud coverage.

At the present time, it is cloud less, not a single one in sight.
the report shows:
{"rain": false, "readingTimestamp": "2017-08-22 09:13:38", "outsideTemp": 24.77, "skyTemp": 14.79}

the code is:
def _calculate_cloud_cover(self, sky, ambient):
'''
Needs work. +22ambient and -2.5sky and sky was 90% clear
:param sky:
:param ambient:
:return:
'''
cc = ((sky+20)*7)-ambient
if cc > 100:
cc = 100
if cc < 10:
cc = 0
return cc

So from the above report:
cc= ((14.79+20)*7)-24.77
cc= 218.76
cc > 100 so it's cloudy but it's not cloudy out there right now, blue sky.

Noticed that the time stamp isn't being recorded correctly.
