[George Nimrodel]

Hello Pierre-Yves

and thanks for the suggestion.

It worked and with some more tweaks to the driver the station is 
functioning normally.

And for example, when I want to view my CumulusMX Dashboard, I call for: 
"http://192.168.0.40:8998/";

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Cumulus MX -> weewx

['Rainer Lang' via weewx-user]

correct, but weewx (its Seasons skin) doesn't have a realtime dashboard 
(except you install the mqtt based Belchertown skin).
The update interval is defined in weewx.conf and could go down to one 
minute instead of five minutes (in theory - in practice to be found out 
if the reports can complete in that short time)

Re: [weewx-user] WS3500 - Only getting Station Name and Time/Date ???

[Stefano]

Hello,

Anybody facing something similar ? I'm only getting "unrecognized parameter
b'mac: '" and "unrecognized parameter
fields=timezone,utc_offset,dst,date_sunrise,date_sunset'", "ignored
parameter stationtype=EasyWeatherV1.5.2".

Thank you for your help.

Re: [weewx-user] WS3500 - Only getting Station Name and Time/Date ???

['Rainer Lang' via weewx-user]

can you post your weewx.conf entries of the [Interceptor] stanza ?
Also a screecopy of your WS View Plus customized server entries would be 
helpful.


I have just run out of my crystal balls ...
And a WS3500 is what ?  A Sainlogic WS3500, an Ecowitt WH2910 clone ?
The more precise you are in your statements, the better we can 
understand your point.

Some of the error messages are generated while I tried to access

Is this a known issue or lack of configuration ?
weewx version 4.10.2

In the WSView Plus app I setup the System to use Ecowitt Custom
Protocol, my Server IP Address as well as the Port 8080. I am NOT
sure however if the PATH is correct (I left the default value).
Should I have removed everything and left the PATH blank in the
WSView Plus app ?

Hi,

Let me have a look tomorrow evening so in approx 24h I hope...

It is a Sainlogic WS3500 👍.

Thank you for your help.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Cumulus MX -> weewx

[vince]

You didn't provide enough detail to really understand your setup.   Does 
Cumulus MX have some software it runs that responds on port 8998 ?

Did you even install a normal webserver such as nginx or apache ?   If not, 
see the wiki (link) 

 for 
how to do install one and hook it together with weewx.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Cumulus MX -> weewx

[Sidney]

And to explain... I got the Raspberry unit which was already running 
Cumulus MX software and now I'm trying to use weewx. But as I'm seeing for 
the first time, it seems a bit tough.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Cumulus MX -> weewx

['Rainer Lang' via weewx-user]

@Sidney - I think you are confusing a few things and are comparing 
apples with pears.
You may not be aware of the functionality of and the need to have a 
webserver (program).
CumulusMX has an inbuilt webserver, but not one which is available to 
users other than the CMX users.
So when you can reach CMX via a defined port and the URL of your weewx 
server e.g. IP:8998 this doesn't mean that a generally available 
webserver is installed.


So, as Vince already mentioned, a webserver like nginx or apache2 needs 
to be installed for you to see the weewx skin via a browser via the URL.
You can of course open /var/www/html/weewx/index.html in a web browser 
by loading it into the browser, but to reach it via the URL 
ip-address/weewx a webserver is needed which has access to the html-root 
(default /var/www/html) and subdirectories and replies to your http request.

Re: [weewx-user] WS3500 - Only getting Station Name and Time/Date ???

['Rainer Lang' via weewx-user]

Normally, if all the rules are followed, weewx reading data from a 
WH2910 console via interceptor driver is straightforward.

But who knows how you have configured your console and weewx.
Therefore the weewx.conf and customized server entry screenshot is needed.

Apart from that, I recommend to upgrade your WS3500 WiFi firmware to the 
latest version 1.6.7 - version 1.5.2 is stone-age.
When you click on the device list entry in the WS View Plus app, a 
firmware upgrade should be offered.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Cumulus MX -> weewx

['Rainer Lang' via weewx-user]

I'm not sure if you have understood the weewx concepts ...

What would be the use of changing skins - except you don't like the 
Seasons skin 
But  before you do this, you better get weewx running with the default 
Seasons skin.

Once running, you can add or switch skins.

You probably want to use data from your station - then you have to 
change your station, not the skin


You need to install the driver for your station ...

So you have to install the respective weewx driver for your station 
which would then replace the Simulator station.


What's your station ? Brand, model ?

I'm now trying:
change the skin and get out of simulation to real data. Unfortunately, 
I have no luck with it.

I'm using the following:

# Stop the daemonsudosystemctlstopweewx # Reconfigure to use your 
hardwareweectlstationreconfigure # Delete the old 
databaserm/var/lib/weewx/weewx.sdb # Start the 
daemonsudosystemctlstartweewx
But seems it does not reflect my selected meteo station and keeps 
using Simulation.


The same with skin which I try to change in*etc/weewx/weewx.conf *but 
it does not reflect anything.


I'm sorry for these questions, your support is very helpful.

You may not be aware of the functionality of and the need to
have a webserver (program).
CumulusMX has an inbuilt webserver, but not one which is
available to users other than the CMX users.
So when you can reach CMX via a defined port and the URL of
your weewx server e.g. IP:8998 this doesn't mean that a
generally available webserver is installed.

So, as Vince already mentioned, a webserver like nginx or
apache2 needs to be installed for you to see the weewx skin
via a browser via the URL.
You can of course open /var/www/html/weewx/index.html in a web
browser by loading it into the browser, but to reach it via
the URL ip-address/weewx a webserver is needed which has
access to the html-root (default /var/www/html) and
subdirectories and replies to your http request.

in addition, look up

https://weewx.com/docs/5.0/utilities/weectl-station/#create-a-new-station-data-directory

there you find the example how to create a Vantage station (of course 
the values for altitude, longitude, latitude have to be replaced by your 
values)


|weectl station create --no-prompt --driver=weewx.drivers.vantage \ 
--altitude="400,foot" --latitude=45.1 --longitude=-105.9 \

the result should be a properly configured weewx.conf

 @Sidney - I think you are confusing a few things and are comparing 
 apples with pears.
 You may not be aware of the functionality of and the need to have a 
 webserver (program).
 CumulusMX has an inbuilt webserver, but not one which is available to 
 users other than the CMX users.
 So when you can reach CMX via a defined port and the URL of your weewx 
 server e.g. IP:8998 this doesn't mean that a generally available webserver 
 is installed.

 So, as Vince already mentioned, a webserver like nginx or apache2 needs 
 to be installed for you to see the weewx skin via a browser via the URL.
 You can of course open /var/www/html/weewx/index.html in a web browser 
 by loading it into the browser, but to reach it via the URL 
 ip-address/weewx a webserver is needed which has access to the html-root 
 (default /var/www/html) and subdirectories and replies to your http 
 request.

 Thank you, Vince.  
 Seems I'm a bit lost in it and will be exploring it to find the trouble.
