Re: [weewx-user] Re: add missing records, then report and exit

Im using Pi 3B+, currently an external timer powers up the pi for 5 minutes, sufficient to wait for the NTP server, and start weewx to download the console and upload to wu. But if I miss a couple of days then there's too much data, and 5 minutes isn't enough, something smarter should be done.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: add missing records, then report and exit

Lithium would be the way! Already studying a solution this way. But I need a process to download the console and shutdown the pi. I could also do without the weewx's LOOP, something with weectl. On Sunday 23 June 2024 at 16:33:07 UTC-3 michael.k...@gmx.at wrote: > After optimizing the power con

[weewx-user] want to upgrade to 5.0, don't know original install method

I installed weewx long ago (10 yrs?). It is version 4.10.2. I don't have any idea how I installed it. The is nothing related to weewx in my /root directory. The is no weewx directory in /home. Any ideas on how I should upgrade to 5.0? Also, are there breaking changes from 4.10.2 to 5.0?

I'd recommend you to leave your old installation untouched, install weewx5 the pip way in a venv together with your extensions, a copy of your database and config and see if it works out. When the new installation works as desired, just switch. Mark Hahn schrieb am Montag, 24. Juni 2024 um 20:1
