My weather data still says it needs at least three days of data. However. It has been three weeks!
I assume this happened because my app permissions for location were set to “while in use” and not “precise”. I’m not sure which was the problem, but I changed both now. I’ll let you know if it starts working tomorrow.
When viewing weather data inside the app, it should warn about missing location permissions. (Assuming that was the real problem.)
Hi @Dquantity!
I think “while in use” should … oh wait, no, it probably does need “always”. Though I’d better double check that in a sec.
The “not precise” setting is fine though. Wait, is it? Ugh. It’s been many months since I’ve looked at that code. I’ll stop making assumptions and go check it now…
Ok yep, it wants “always” but is happy without “precise location”. So can leave precise location off, but make sure “always” is turned on.
Agree. I think the app is currently treating both “while in use” and “always” as acceptable, but the former will be much less reliable, perhaps requiring the app to be opened at least once each day in order to pick up a location for that day. Which is not ideal.
Anyway definitely let me know if you’re still not seeing any weather data showing up within another week or so! A full week of data should be enough for correlations to definitely be showing with some data types.
I’ll also do some checks on my own data, to sanity check here too. I’ve recently done a bunch of fresh installs, during the development of the medication data types support, and didn’t turn on the LocoKit / Arc Timeline import in those cases. So mine should be solely relying on its own location checking. So if I’ve got weather data, it means the system is still working for at least one person!
Hmm. I’m seeing correlations with n=7 at most. It should be around 14, if it’s managed to pick up data every day since v2.0 shipped. That feels like maybe it’s only been picking up locations on days I’ve opened the app at least once. I’ll look into it. Doesn’t sound as reliable as it should be!
