Hi, I am rebuilding my server, and installed a new fresh install of weewx
version 4.9.1 and tested using the simulator driver.... all is good.
values from the simulator are updated in the archive table.
I then installed the Ecowitt Gateway as a service following the install
instructions on the wiki... version 0.5.0b5
I tested the Ecowitt Gateway service using the --live-data command line
option as well as --test-service command line option, and all is well...
the service is reading my gateway fine, and is picking up all of my sensors
along with their values.
The problem that I'm seeing is that I didn't see any updates to the
weewx.sdb database for the ecowitt gateway after install. I also noticed
that the Ecowitt Gateway has lots of added fields listed in the
home/weewx/bin/user/gw1000.py, but I didn't see any of those added to my
weewx.sdb database after first run, or after any of the achive packets were
updated to the archive table.
Am I supposed to add these fields manually? Or is the Ecowitt Gateway
service supposed to add them on install, or add them dynamically on first
use?
If I add a field_map_extensions to the weewx.conf under the [GW1000] stanza
such as:
[[field_map_extensions]]
extraTemp9 = intemp
extraHumid9 = inhumid
and restart weewx... my ecowitt sensor values isn't added, even though I
see the intemp and inhumid in the loop packets in the log file using
debug=3. I don't see an extraTemp9 or an extraHumid9 listed in the
database, even though this is one of the fields listed in the gw1000.py
driver. The values from the simulator driver are being added to the
archive table.
However, if I add a field_map_extensions to the weewx.conf under the
[GW1000] stanza such as:
[[field_map_extensions]]
extraTemp5 = intemp
extraHumid5 = inhumid
and restart weewx, I now see the values being added to the weewx.sdb
archive table for extraTemp5 and extraHumid5 that came from my ecowitt
sensor (as well as the values from the simulator)
so, it appears that none of the ecowitt field names were added to the
archive table on install. If I'm supposed to add them manually, then the
wiki install instructions need to be updated.
Thanks for the help,
Joe
