KH8 – sporadic data gaps when using mobile hotspot (no fixed broadband)
Hi all,

New setup and house still under some reno, so no internet yet. I have an issue where there is missing data covering hours in the historical logs in Fox cloud. Typically this impacts the current day.

Setup
  • KH8 K-series
    WW datalogger
    No fixed broadband yet so using mobile hotspot every couple of days
    Dongle connects fine each time hotspot is on
What works well
  • Historical 5-min data (from offline periods) batch-uploads correctly once hotspot is live
    Past days all look clean in Fox Cloud
The problem
  • Current day's data often sporadic - gaps of several hours with nothing recorded
    Historical buffer uploads fine; it's the current-day data that drops out

Anyone else running on mobile data / hotspot only? Same behaviour?
Is there a known difference in how the dongle handles buffered vs. live data uploads?
Any workaround? e.g. keeping hotspot on longer, forcing a dongle reset at a specific point in the cycle?

Aware this is an unusual setup. Broadband coming eventually - but keen to understand the behaviour in the meantime. Any thoughts appreciated.
