The aggregation not_null does not check first to see if the type exists. If you know the type exists, it's slightly faster. In practice, I don't think it's very useful. I may remove it from the documentation. On Fri, Feb 23, 2024 at 3:48 AM Karen K wrote: > What is the difference between the ag

I found that you only have to implement ‘not_null’. I believe this is because the ‘has_data’ tag (tags.py line 389) enters the xtype system with an aggregate of ‘has_data’. This then looks for the aggregate of ‘not_null’ (xtypes.py line 156). Looking forward to hearing if my conclusion was corre

What do you mean by "logging"? WeeWX, as it is shipped, stores the readings to a database. You can then take that database and do what you have to do with it. If you use the default settings, that database is a SQLITE file, which can be read and processed by a lot of other software. -- You rec

You should not have to implement either. The implementation of has_data runs a not_null query over the aggregation period. In turn not_null either consults the database or, if it's an xtype, runs get_scalar() over the aggregation period. The first non-null value seen causes it to return True. Of
