Water sensors- FLI Indigo

[elhenriq]

no data coming in since installed. this farm was installed on July 7th. i asked him to go and check all the devices for water data on them. and record the information to send back to us.

[elhenriq]

Brian called today about this farm. he is downloading data from all the nodes, they seem to be working fine, but we don't know since his farm wasn't graphing. there is an error with his form, for some reason his the dashboard thinks that the form was submitted for a 2021 farm instead of this year, @brianwdavis or @mikahpinegar any clues on what is going on here?

he also has to check on B1 the middle sensor is reading 999. one of the prongs was bent. he fixed it and placed back in the ground. it is reading correctly now.

C2 was not connecting to the gateway, he will download the data from the node to make sure it is complete.

oh weird, the form was started "today": "2021-09-28", but submitted "_submission_time": "2022-07-07T17:01:43"

[mikahpinegar]

we currently use the today field instead of _submission_time to determine when a form was submitted, so it thinks this form is a 2021 form

[elhenriq]

this farm is from this year 2022 it was install a few weeks ago.

[saseehav]

@mikahpinegar what's the reason that you use the "today" field and not the "submission time " field or "date installed" field instead?

[elhenriq]

also the "today" date was july 7th so it should have picked up as 2022 anyways

[mikahpinegar]

ah i got confused. we actually use end to check the year of a form which in this case is "end": "2021-09-28T06:44:13.152-04:00". we can't use date_installed because it's not on every form. we have to use a field that is inseerted by kobo and present on all forms

[mikahpinegar]

we could switch to _submission_time. i think me and brian used end because we thought it was when the form was finished being filled out, so if the farmer didn't submit the form for a month or whatever and that happened to be in the next year we would still be able to tell the correct year

[elhenriq]

how can we change this particular form so it can get parse and his data can show?

[mikahpinegar]

i can do it manually

[mikahpinegar]

i resubmitted the form and copied submission_time into end it should show up in 5 mins or so

[mikahpinegar]

it's showing up as valid now

[elhenriq]

UPDATE ON DATA

he was able to collect all the data from all the nodes, and they all seem to be working fine. we were able to get the gateway going sending and receiving all data now

Surface sensor in Bare rep 1 is reading 0% VWV. who is contacting to do a re-install? fix?

[elhenriq]

im with him on the phone right now, i just saw that and asked him to go and take a look. might need a replacement.

[screberg]

Surface center was never installed. Installing it today

[elhenriq]

@mikahpinegar i see the graph have populated now. but i only see data up to a certain date, but i know for a fact that there is data from today that is showing on the device status page for this farm. any guess on what is going on there?

[saseehav]

@mikahpinegar noticed in audit log that at 13:20 FLI was updated in the Farm History table. Could this have been you instead of updating the water sensor install time end?

[mikahpinegar]

the install forms update cash_crop_planting_date in farm_history so when i manually edited the form and it passed through it also updated farm_history

[mikahpinegar]

as for the graphs showing old data, it's getting returned from the api that way. i'm not super familiar with the soil moisture api so i'll let rick and brian know what's going on and also poke around myself

[mikahpinegar]

did the sites that aren't showing new data have sensors swapped at any point?

[mikahpinegar]

ok @brianwdavis fixed the issue and all the sensor graphs should be up to date now

[elhenriq]

Awesome, i just checked and all data is there.

[kldriver]

Rep 2 Bare (625) is completely offline, Is this a wire connection issue?

[elhenriq]

checked with brian and ask to download data from it.
