[weewx-user] Recording External Temperatures

In my never ending quest to extend WeeWX, I have purchased Ann Ecowitt weather station and set it up so that it records the temperature in my Caravan. This works perfectly but records the data on the Ecowitt website. I have now managed to extend this to publish the weather stats into a director

You can only run one driver, however weewx-gw1000 can also be run as a service. Quote from the repository: -   ‘The GW1000 driver can be operated as a traditional WeeWX driver where it is the source of loop data or it can be operated as a WeeWX service where it is used to augment loop d

Have a look at the wiki https://github.com/gjr80/weewx-gw1000/wiki which tells you how to setup as a service. Regarding data my personal suggestion would be to create an additional database for Ecowitt and bind to that. You could then pull data from each database as and when you require it, even in

Hi, If the incoming data, rain_mm, is cumulative then you want the WeeWX field rain and the option contains_total = true. This will convert the cumulative value into an increment value that WeeWX expects. rich On Wednesday, 13 January 2021 at 06:53:11 UTC-5 jmc...@gmail.com wrote: > Hi Tom! > >

I'd recommend adding the Ecowitt GW1000 to your hardware setup. It will pick up your Tycon sensor array. Just be sure to get the matching frequency when ordering the GW1000 as it comes in 433, 868, and 915 Mhz. On Wednesday, January 13, 2021 at 9:17:08 AM UTC-5 ab9nq@gmail.com wrote: > No

If you look in the documentation, you'll see that it suggests using hardware settings for pressure, altimeter, and barometer. That way, there will not be a problem of alternating between hardware and software computed values. On Wed, Jan 13, 2021 at 6:35 AM Greg Troxel wrote: > > gjr80 writes:

It sounds like your field "wind_avg_km_h" is actually current wind speed. Hopefully, by "average" they mean over the last few seconds, not minutes. On Wed, Jan 13, 2021 at 7:13 AM Jonis Maurin Ceará wrote: > Tks Rich, I'll do these changes right now and test. > > Tom, you've said: > >> wind_avg_
