[weewx-user] SteelSeries Gauges rain rate problem

[davide verdicchio]

I have a problem with the SteelSeries Gauges 2.7.6 application. On the rain 
rate graph it says mm but the measurement is in inches. How can I solve the 
problem?

So which one is correct? If the plots are correct what are you using to 
generate gauge-data.txt?

Please ignore this message. I have had to rebuild my mailserver and I am

The rain rate indicator and graph is in inch/hr but in reality it should be 
mm/h!

Re: [weewx-user] weewx v5.0.1 upgrade problem

[tarob...@gmail.com]

This solved my problem, adding user ‘weewx’ to the ‘plugdev’ group using 
the usermod command.

'sudo usermod -aG plugdev weewx'

[weewx-user] Anyone successfully running weewx with weewx-sdr?

[Charlie T]

I have a mystery problem.*weewx *runs fine in simulator mode and 
updates the html file regularly.  When I switch to using *weewx-sdr* I can 
see weewx call rtl_433 but the html file stops updating.  No errors posted 
in the *messages *file as shown below.  I'm thinking this is a 
configuration issuesomewhere?

[weewx-user] Re: Anyone successfully running weewx with weewx-sdr?

[Tom Keffer]

You should check /var/log/syslog, not /var/log/messages. The latter usually 
does not include debug messages.)

This is almost surely a permissions problem. There are many threads on this 
topic. For example, this one 
. In that case, 
adding user weewx to group "plugdev" solved the problem:

*sudo usermod -aG plugdev weewx*


Also, see  the wiki article *Understanding permissions 
*. Pay 
particular attention to the section *How to fix device permissions 
.*

Ignorance is bliss!

You may be aware (or not) that Google recently dropped USENET traffic
from Google Groups.  Depending on your Groups subscriptions, this may
(or may not) have been a significant portion of your Groups traffic.

On the uk.rec.motorcycles USENET news group, the policy shift brought
an immediate blissful relief from spam by GMail-based dope dealers.

OK...well that's strange.  */var/log/syslog* is NOT updating.  Even with a 
"chmod 777 syslog"...still no updates to syslog.

in general, redhat systems use /var/log/messages, debian systems use 
/var/log/syslog

systems that use systemd might swallow some or all of the system logging 
into systemd-journald, leaving you with nothing in /var/log/syslog or 
/var/log/messages.  if you are on one of those systems, then you'll have to 
use journalctl to view the log messages.

if you want to see the contents of /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog 
without having to escalate privileges, you should change the permissions in 
the rsyslog configuration (/etc/rsyslog.conf) and/or logrotate 
configuration. i do not recall whether this is possible on systemd systems 
that have hijacked *all* of the system logging into journald.

your 'chmod 777' will go away at the next log rotation and/or rsyslog 
restart, and you really don't want to give world write privileges on system 
files like that anyway.

[weewx-user] Re: SteelSeries Gauges rain rate problem

[gjr80]

I'm sorry but it is still not clear to me what the exact issue is. I've 
opened the image from your original post on a better screen and as far as I 
can see the gauge shows rain rate in mm/hr, the labels across the top of 
the plot show rain rat win mm/hr but the y-axis label of the plot seems to 
show in/hr. Is the problem *only* the y-axis label being in in/hr? Do the 
rain rate values show on the gauge and in the plot correctly as mm values 
or as inch values? (ie does the gauge indicate 5mm/hr when in fact the 
actual rain rate is 5mm/hr or does the gauge show 5mm/hr when in fact the 
actual rain rate is 5in/hr)

Finally, what are you using to generate the gauge-data.txt? Have you 
installed the skin direct from the SteelSeries-Weather-Gauges repo 

 
or did you install the weewx-steelseries extension 
 ? In either case could you 
please post a copy of the [StdReport] [[SteelSeries]] stanza from weewx.conf 
along with a copy of the skin config file, skin.conf, from the skins/ss 
directory. (note the location of the skins directory will depend on your 
WeeWX version and how you installed WeeWX - refer to *Where to find things* 
in the User's Guide for your particular WeeWX version 
).

[weewx-user] Using Meteo-Pi-Ethernet Logger now get 'Unable to wake up Vantage console'

[Curtis Esac]

I have had weewx  4.10.2  working fine with my Meteo-Pi-Ethernet Logger, 
now  after starting weewx I get:

With my web-browser I can view the Meteo-Pi_Ethernet Logger web page 
directly and it is working and gives current wx data.  Since it stopped 
working I have added '--loop-on-init' to 'DAEMON_ARGS' in /etc/init.d/weewx 
and also 'loop_on_init = True' near the top of /etc/weewx/weewx.conf.

I don't mess with weewx much, it has just worked, so I am a noob at trying 
to track this down.

Thanks for any help.

Could be anything. I don't have any experience with the Meteo-Pi logger.
Have you asked the Meteo people?

Re: [weewx-user] Using Meteo-Pi-Ethernet Logger now get 'Unable to wake up Vantage console'

[Curtis Esac]

Thanks Tom, that will be my next thing to try contacting Meteo-Pi. 

I also just got a new Raspberry Pi 5 (currently weewx is on a Raspberry Pi 
Zeor 2 W), so I'm going to put weewx 5 on it and start fresh and see if 
that works.

Thanks!
