[weewx-user] Understanding Rain values (including SDR deltas)

2022-04-18 Thread Matthew White
Hello; firstly it's clear a lot of effort has been put in weewx and all the software around it. eg the SDR import, rtl433. So many thanks to everybody. So I'm trying to understand the rain/rainTotal and the deltas setting of the SDR import. The sensor is being reported by RTL as the Bresse

Hello, everyone. For some time now I've been trying to merge the weewx.sdb of version 3.9.0 with the new weewx.sdb of the current version 4.7.0. Unfortunately, this has not worked so far. But now I assume that this is due to the fact that a different shema is used from version 4.7 onwards? Inter

Hallo zusammen. Ich probiere nun schon seit geraumer Zeit, die weewx.sdb der Version 3.9.0 mit der neuen weewx.sdb der aktuellen Version 4.7.0 zusammen zu legen. Dies klappte bis anhin leider nicht. Nun vermute ich aber, das dies daran liegt, das ab der Version 4.7 ein anderes Shema benutzt wird

The subtitle is correctly centered, it is the title which is unfortunately fixed. Surely the error was not yet in Blechertown: 1.0.1, see https://www.meteo-oberwallis.ch/wetter/britanniahitta/user/. The title was still centered and didn't have the hover-attribute. I hope @Pat takes care of it. Ge

The delta is already set in the sdr.py driver at line 3254. Try removing the delta stanza from your config and restarting. Look at the comments at the start of the sdr.py driver for info on delta. Andy On Monday, April 18, 2022 at 12:48:30 AM UTC-7 call...@gmail.com wrote: > Hello; firstly it'

I've poked through the list here and it doesn't seem like anyone has had code issues since sometime in 2021. This is a virgin install of weewx 4.7.0 on CentOS 7.9+latest updates. Weewxd works fine and is creating the sample data that I can see with Apache httpd. However, I can't reconfigure

Yes - I can duplicate this in vagrant using a clean VM and centos-7 Since you have a clean install, I'd recommend you use almalinux-8 (a centos clone) which 'does' work ok if you run 'wee_config --reconfig" On Monday, April 18, 2022 at 8:11:59 AM UTC-7 kheller2 wrote: > I've poked through the

But the install guide and support guide for weewx says its supported on C7. Moving to Linux8 would also take me to python3 and a few other changes.. which is fine... but not what the docs state. On Monday, April 18, 2022 at 1:21:31 PM UTC-4 vince wrote: > Yes - I can duplicate this in vagrant

Yes it 'used' to work fine on centos7 but sometimes you have to just get current. Docs can sometime lag a bit. Just run a current os that is not well past it's end-of-life. On Monday, April 18, 2022 at 12:35:36 PM UTC-7 kheller2 wrote: > But the install guide and support guide for weewx says i

Well I don't know what a BOM is (in the weewx context), but what I did was install the rpm and take all the defaults so the Simulator was used, then I stopped weewx and tried to use wee_config --reconfig and it duplicated the error exactly. On Monday, April 18, 2022 at 2:05:58 PM UTC-7 matthew

Has someone worked out a cron job that will periodically check to see that weewx is running and issue a restart if it is not? I have been getting notified (email) about once per week letting me know that weewx stopped sending data. On Thursday, November 25, 2021 at 12:57:32 PM UTC-8 Clyde wrote:

You really should get to the bottom of why weewx is dying. Logs are your friend. I don’t have a watchdog for weewx, but I have such jobs for other software. Here’s a simplified script that should do the job. If you have mail set up, you should add a line to mail you that weewx had to be rest

That's only a possibility if the GW2000 is the only console you have. If your FOSHKplugin is already fed by another console ... Want to install a second instance of FOSHKplugin ? Not trivial. Also, the custom server doesn't provide you the same loop data which you can get from the GW1000 driver.
