"Supported" makes sense. Thanks for making that distinction, as well as 
explaining the change.

Perhaps 'supported' would be a better term.

The docs were updated to reflect the apt-get method of 
downloading+installing the package in an easier way.   You can always 
download it yourself and install it via dpkg or apt as well, and 
alternately download the tarball and use the original setup.py method.  All 
work fine.

Thank you!

I followed your advice. Work like a charm ;-)

Re: [weewx-user] Re: AcuRite bridge and DNS setup

Is dpkg still recommended? I came to my conclusion after reading the docs.

The latest revision of the installation guide for Debian-based 
distributions doesn't even mention dpkg.

http://www.weewx.com/docs/debian.htm

It is still one of the recommended ways to upgrade an existing 
installation, though.

[weewx-user] Re: WeeWX-WD - clientraw.txt change format

[gjr80]

Hi,

Yes making a change to that line and adding a $useThisFormat parameter as 
follows would do what you want:

#*WD|006*#$current.barometer.hPa.toString($addLabel=False, 
$useThisFormat='%.0f', $localize=False) #slurp

but I would strongly advise against this. The reason being that any changes 
made to the template files would be overwritten should you upgrade weeWX-WD 
in the future. A far bettter, and upgrade safe, approach is to override the 
hPa formatting from weewx.conf. In weewx.conf under [StdReport] amend the 
[[wdClientraw]] stanza to look something like:

[[wdClientraw]]
HTML_ROOT = public_html/WD
skin = Clientraw
[[[Units]]]
StringFormats
hPa = %.0f

This has the benefit of being upgrade safe, though now all hPa pressures 
will have no places after the decimal point. If you particularly want to 
change just the current barometric pressure then you would need to make the 
change to clientraw.txt.tmpl but you will then have to manually handle any 
future weeWX-WD upgrades.

Of course it's a recommended way to install - I'm not sure how you came
to that conclusion.

[weewx-user] WeeWX-WD - clientraw.txt change format

[Arild Halvorsen]

I want to change the format for the barometer pressure value. I want no 
desimal values.

The clientraw.txt field 6 gives barometer pressure with one desimal e.g. 
998.3 I want only 998 for better 
design https://monsegaard.no/site/daglige-data/ 

In /etc/weewx/skins/Clientraw/clientraw.txt.tmpl I found this line: 

#*WD|006*#$current.barometer.hPa.toString($addLabel=False, $localize=False) 
#slurp

*Maybe can change format here?*
