[John W. Springman III]

Lots of info.  Thanks.  I  have a website domain already and use a 
raspberry pi for this.  I apparently just can't seem to get it to show 
other than on the local network.

It seems, from long history, that if the computer that is polling the
data logger goes away suddenly while interacting with the logger, the
logger can get messed up.   This is arguably a bug in the logger.

My advice, just like the advice you got from others, is get a UPS, which
will also help avoid filesystem mess on the RPI0.

If you want to trace what's on the serial and experiment and figure out
what's going on, you certainly can.   But, pretty much everybody with
the skills to do that believes in "you should get a UPS".

Sometimes the logger inside your Vp2 base station gets into a weird state. 
You can try weewx_device —dump to try and recover you missing data, but I 
often just end up running —clear and eat the loss See

Re: [weewx-user] Davis VP2 reliability with Rasp Pi zero

[Tom Keffer]

If weewx causes the corruption, I sure don't see how. It operates well
within the published API provided by Davis.

Graham is probably right: a power spike from when power comes on is likely
the problem. It's coming through either the VP2 power supply or, more
likely, the Pi's.

Try at least a surge suppressor. A UPS would be even better.

Re: [weewx-user] Davis VP2 reliability with Rasp Pi zero

Would also look at adding a DS1307 or DS3231 RTC Module to RPI zero. This 
should maintain the time when the RPI zero loses power.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: weewx server?

['Cameron D' via weewx-user]

Are you saying that you have a registered domain name (and that is as far 
as you have gone), or that you have a web server that is already 
successfully serving other pages to the public internet? 
 What exactly is that raspberry pi doing?  If it is serving web pages, is 
it the same machine that is running weewx?

 Very cool - thanks for the pointer to the video.  I hadn't previously 
 figured out the Zero Trust terminology enough to try the tunnel stuff. 
 I'll 
 have to try the tunnel thing too 

 For the original poster, Doug's steps 1-3 are very easy.  I'd 
 previously done that using Google Domains ($12/year).

 Note - you probably still want to possibly harden your weewx webserver 
 a bit.  There are zillions of bots trying to attack web servers 
 'especially' all things WordPress.  If you go just with a vanilla weewx 
 setup you're likely in very good shape straight out of the box.  Cool 
 cheap 
 option for sure.

We took a crazy set of multiple dips in a couple seconds in a windstorm a 
couple weeks ago, with perhaps four dips in two seconds.  The NUC stayed 
up. All my model-B and pi4 crashed but came back up ok. 

No corruption here on my VP2 connected to a pi4, with both connected to the 
same surge suppressor, but maybe I just got lucky in timing.

Re: [weewx-user] Davis VP2 reliability with Rasp Pi zero

[brisguy foo]

Thanks all for the feedback! The engineer in me wants to debug this, but
assuming a UPS does the trick, probably best left alone. I do appreciate
all the effort put into weewx and since the interface is purely through the
api, seems like it must be a logger problem. I am going to take a look at
the Pi power supply though, just to see what it does on power cycle.

[weewx-user] WS28xx USB pairing issue

[jschoonh]

I'm trying to make a new start but this time in the Netherlands.
Bought a WS 2818 and commissioned it without any problems.
A thin client t620 with a small linux mint that works fine and is connected 
to the internet.
But the USB dongle won't pair with the console.
Temporarily installed weewx on a laptop with the console right next to it. 
But with the same results.
The USB dongle is seen, the console shows "PC" after pressing "V".
What I don't understand why the frequency is changed from 86830 to 
910573909 ? could that be the problem?
Here below the printout of the laptop's terminal and part of the syslog.
Can anyone give me any suggestions?

I managed this by modifying Axelle's code above in process_record():

ts = time.localtime()
if ts.tm_hour not in (0,6,12,18) or ts.tm_min != 0:
logdbg("This is not hour to tweet: %d" % ts.tm_hour)
return

That should tweet at 00:00, 06:00, 12:00 and 18:00. I'm not sure if this 
will necessarily work if the archive interval is longer than 1 minute 
though (my station is set to 1 minute)

Is it possible to use this to post the daily archived values for a given 
day? Ideally I'd like to set it to automatically tweet once a day (say at 
10am local time) giving the stats for the previous day, e.g.:

06/01/2023: Max temperature: 12.3C, Min temperature: 2.3C, Max wind gust: 
35 mph, Total rainfall: 12.2 mm

I have it working so that it only tweets once a day at 10am, but giving 
instantaneous values is a bit pointless at that tweet frequency
