[weewx-user] Advice on new installation

[Keith Jacobs]

My LeCross 23xx died after many years good service and would like to use 
weewx with a new station. My problem is finding a compatible weather 
station that can actually be bought new, apart from there expensive Davis. 
All others are listed as obsolete
Thanks

Not sure what you mean by "compatible" here - but beyond Davis there is 
a whole station/sensor/IoT universe


Have a look at https://www.ecowitt.com
and for a better understanding
https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730
all these stations can be used with weewx with either the Ecowitt local 
Gateway driver of the interceptor driver

Re: [weewx-user] Pipe errors etc

[hind...@gmail.com]

Many thanks for these suggestions. Regarding 1. how do I connect to the 
datalogger in order to uncheck the "Upload to weatherlink" option?  If the 
weatherlink upload is causing the conflict, I am not clear why this would 
suddenly start being an issue, but certainly worth trying.
On 2, no, I don't have a static IP address for the datalogger, or any other 
device configured with the same IP address.

['michael.k...@gmx.at' via weewx-user]

I asked more or less the same question as Keith and I am quite happy with 
Rainer's recommendation (which I followed). The only thing left to make me 
more than happy, is to find an automatic way to backfill missing sensor 
data for the rare occasions, weewx isn't running for whatever reason. The 
23xx did this, when you restartet weewx (if the built in memory was 
sufficient).

Re: [weewx-user] Pipe errors etc

[jterr...@gmail.com]

According to your weewx logs, the ip address of the datalogger is 
192.168.0.25.

So shut down weewx and open this URL  http://192.168.0.25  using your web 
browser

Thanks. I did that and I just get “This site can’t be reached”. My
datalogger is connected via Ethernet, and I think is no longer made by
davis.

Re: [weewx-user] Advice on new installation

['Rainer Lang' via weewx-user]

someone needs to add the existing backfill possibility which CumulusMX 
already uses to an existing driver (Ecowitt Gateway and/or interceptor) 
- i.e.
when an Ecowitt clone console posts to ecowitt.net (need account and 
console registered), using the MAC address of the console and a 
to-be-created APP-key and API-key one can retrieve this data on a 
5-minute resolution for up to 90 days back by a http call to the ecowitt 
cloud API - see also https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730


maybe an inspiration for Gary to include this functionality into his 
local Ecowitt Gateway driver as an option to backfill. 😎


I'm astonished that CumulusMX is the only weather software so far (known 
to me) which uses this possibility.
I'm sure many users of the local Ecowitt Gateway driver (GW1000 driver) 
would appreciate such a functionality upgrade.


I have other mechanisms in place to fill these gaps - e.g. mirror 
installations etc. including using the CumulusMX database files running 
CMX in parallel and then do the manual backfill with wee_import;
that's a  maximum semi-automated solution; however, a fully automated 
approach for weewx jumping in at restart when a gap is detected would be 
definitely much better

You're perhaps reading a little too literally there.  Model numbers come 
and go and there is so much rebranding of the same models under the hood by 
different sellers that it's a bit impossible to keep a current list.  The 
v5 docs have a differently formatted list at 
https://www.weewx.com/docs/5.0/hardware/drivers/ that might help possibly.

If you look at the weewx map at https://weewx.com/stations.html and click 
on the hardware button on the right, you'll see the distribution of 
'registered' systems.  Perhaps that will help.  Of note are ecowitt (GW1000 
driver) and weatherflow (weatherflowUDP driver) as two examples of good 
drivers for gear that is available very easily.

Re: [weewx-user] Advice on new installation

[Michael Form]

Hi:

I currently have weewx installed on a couple of Raspberry Pis (one 
dealing with indoor sensors and another with outdoor sensors) using 
1-Wire devices, DSB1820 sensors, 1-Wire rain gauge, 1-Wire Wind 
direction and speed, etc.


I am wondering if v5 will support 1-Wire devices and if so what driver 
to use.


Thanks

Try looking at the hardware list https://weewx.com/hardware.html please.  A 
quick google search for 'weewx 1wire' will return lots of info.  A quick 
google search of 'this' group for '1wire' will return lots more info.

Re: [weewx-user] Advice on new installation

[Michael Form]

Thanks for the quick reply. My question is will v5 of weewx support a 
1-wire driver? Should I just use the same driver that I already use for 
v4 or will it have to be modified?


Thanks.

which driver are you using for 1-wire?

in most cases, a driver that works in weewx v4 will work fine in weewx v5, 
IF you are using python3.  if you are using weewx v4 with python2, then you 
must ensure that the driver has been converted to work with python3 before 
it will work in weewx v5.

[weewx-user] Weewx running but interceptor not capturing data?

[Mark Sanchez]

Hello,
I have now wasted four days so far trying to get weewx setup with my 
Ambient WS-2902 using interceptor to sniff the packets as it's headed to 
Ambient Weather's site. I believe I have it running at this point and 
Apache is set up but nothing is going into the specified folder. How can I 
tell if it's sniffing the data or not?

I have changed my iptables to capture the local IP and port but it doesn't 
seem to be doing anything. Any ideas or any more information I could add?
Thanks.

[vince]

In the absence of you providing any config file(s) nor debug=1 logs nope no 
ideas other than trying dropping shields and running with no firewall if 
you can do that safely on your network.
