Hi Gary, I'm taking things in baby steps.
Earlier this week I successfully upgraded from weewx 4.2 to weewx 4.4 (which was surprisingly easy with how weewx addresses upgrades). Everything is stable, so I'm moving onward to the next steps. I've taken the route to implement WeeWX SteelSeries Weather Gauges extension (not real-time yet) and WeeWX-WD v2.1.2 -- everything installed and I can see the SteelGauge info on my remotely hosted website, as well as see the clientraw.text and other key files for Saratoga Templates on the remotely hosted server. However, even though I have the archive_interval in weewx.conf set to 120 (seconds) the FTP of the files generated by weewx is occurring every 300 seconds (5 minutes) -- which I confirmed from reviewing the log files. How can I get the FTP to execute every 120 seconds? FYI, weewx.conf for Standard Archive is *[StdArchive] archive_interval = 120 record_generation = hardware loop_hilo = True data_binding = wx_binding* Should I change the record_generation to software? Noting the Rainwise IP-100 is inserting records into the MySQL database tables every minute -- which is what I want.
