A few notes on how units work in weewx. 1. I don't know where your screenshot came from, but the units it shows are not consistent. Some are in inches (unit system US), some are in km/h (unit system METRIC). This may be OK, but once the SDR driver has consumed them, it is essential that it emit LOOP packets with a consistent unit system. It can be US, METRIC, or METRICWX, but, within a packet, it cannot be a mix. So, what you really need to check are the LOOP packets, not what's coming out of rtl_433. You can do this by running weewxd directly <http://www.weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#Running_directly>. It will print out the packets to the console. Make sure each packet has the values and units you expect.
2. The windguru website demands wind in knots. The windguru uploader does this conversion for you. So long as your database uses a consistent unit system, the conversion will be done automatically. 3. The weewx.conf setting you showed (group_speed and group_speed2) are for your *reports*. They have no effect on uploaders. A well-designed uploader knows what units its target wants, and does the conversion for you. -tk -tk On Fri, Jun 5, 2020 at 6:34 AM Sean Jahnig <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi guys, > > I have identified that the acurite 5-in-1 and the SDR are working but the > information coming form the sensor is km/h.
