I'm considering the purchase of a EcoWitt HP2551 : it has a console + a 7-in-1 sensor. Just not totally sure how to integrate it with Weewx. People said here to use the Ecowitt GW-1100 driver, right? But EcoWitt HP2551 does not have that GW1100 gateway. Will the driver work nevertheless? Basica

2022-08-25 Thread gjr80
As a general rule if you are working with averages you should be using wsum and sumtime, but it really depends on what you are calculating. To understand you need to know what the daily summary wsum field contains and how it is different to the sum field. I have no idea what the time field is,

Thanks. That makes sense. So even for monthly average temperature I guess I can use sum instead of wsum. I am using wsum for temperature (monthly average) now and it seems to work fine. It was when I attempted it for rain that it went all wrong and then i modified the query based on obs_type. I am

If you are using 'derive' to derive the archive interval from the imported data then the imported records must be in ascending timestamp/date-time order. This is because the derived archive interval is calculated by taking the difference between the timestamp of the current record and the times

> So even for monthly average temperature I guess I can use sum instead of wsum. Well no, because you do not know whether the archive interval for all of the records is the same. For obs, such as rain, where you are interested in the absolute sum for each day (or month or year) you use the sum

I don't know about the HP2551, but I know a bit about the GW1100 phoning home. I first found it on a solar powered station with no internet. The GW1100 doesn't stop, but it resets it's WiFi every 10 minutes if it can't touch home. The community was great with helping to find a solution. I spoofe

Thanks for confirming what I understood from weeimport.py and weathercatimport.py. I am using "derived' for the import because I originally configured WeatherCat with Adaptive interval set true so I have data logged at varying rates from 1 minute all the way up to 30+ minute intervals. I thi

The HP25x0 consoles do not have an API and cannot be queried via the GW1000 API/Ecowitt Gateway driver. You either use a GW1x00/GW2000 instead (receive the same sensors in parallel) with the Ecowtt Gateway (GW1000) driver, or you will have to use the weewx Interceptor driver with the HP25x0 cons

wee_database --calc-missing will only populate missing derived obs provided (1) the missing derived obs field contains no data and (2) the pre-requisites for the calculation exist. In your case you are failing on the first test - your rainRate fields contain the value 0. You can try setting the

Woaw, thanks this is extremely helpful! The *interceptor* driver (https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-interceptor) looks cool. Except that *I suppose the interceptor needs to be placed where it can read all wifi packets* (from the wifi the weather station uses), right? That's not very conveni
