[weewx-user] Re: weewx has been working for months but it's suddely offline

2020-05-17 Thread Sean Jahnig

Hi Gary,

Thanks for that. You are indeed right. The sensor details were there in 
weewx.conf, but the header [[sensor_map]]was missing. I have added it in 
now and restarted weewx and it is working. 
https://www.windguru.cz/station/2146

This is a very interesting situation and now that i think back on it, i 
understand what went wrong. Yesterday when the station stopped working, i 
started fiddling and during the process the [[sensor_map]] header got 
removed without me knowing which then created a second problem. Meanwhile, 
throughout the troubleshooting process i picked up and fixed the first 
problem, that the unique acurite identifier has changed *from:* 
wind_speed.0A0A.Acurite5n1Packet 
*t**o:* wind_speed.0A0A.Acurite5n1PacketV2 so that problem got fixed but 
the other one that you've just solved was preventing it from going online.

BTW, this is the 2nd time in 6 months the unique acurite identifier has 
changed.

Thanks again for the help, very much appreciated.

OK. So when run directly rtl_433 runs as expected. I appreciate that 
running WeeWX directly resulted in no output, I suspect that is due to the 
sdr driver (for one reason or another) not providing WeeWX with any loop 
packets (the only console output you will get when running WeeWX is loop 
packets and archive records and if WeeWX is not receiving any loop packets 
then you will see nothing). However, the last portion of the log you 
attached showed the sdr driver picking up data from your station:

While the weather stations will not last as long as a Davis they are

 Database not extended Included all of the observstions i needed in the

 What is the best way to keep all my old data?


 I can't just copy the old database 1 for 1 since they are different.

Re: [weewx-user] importing weewx.sql not working

My advice is that unless you really require remote access and unless you
are an experienced MySQL administrator, stick with sqlite. It is much
simpler.

If you really do need MySQL (you mentioned "remote users"), you're not
giving us nearly enough information to help you. For example, "all it seems
to do is generate command syntax errors" is not helpful. What errors?

[weewx-user] importing weewx.sql not working

2020-05-17 Thread VE4PER / Andy

Hello,

I did an export database from old mysql db using phpmyadmin. I copied the 
weewx.sql file over to the new machine and tried to import data into the 
empty weewx database using phpmyadmin. I kept getting errors on import; I 
amend UPLOAD_MAX  POST_MAX to 64MB and also doubled time to 60 from 30 but 
still generating errors size is 55.4 MB for weewx.sql file;  zipped it is 
8.1 MB but neither will import using phpmyadmin.

Tried using mysql command line and all it seems to do is generate command 
syntax errors. took commands from examples in mysql ref manual for vers 8

I have system down for a number of hours now and unable to get old data in 
to create the required archive table so info not being sent to remote 
users. Usually in the past, if I remove /uninstall weewx and then reinstall 
it from scratch it created the mysql database and tables ; doesn't now 
though.

Any tips or pointers would be appreciated

Thanks
Andy

Just to correct the record, the Vantage protocol was not reverse
engineered. They are one of the few vendors who have published their

You put "open" in quotes, which means that I don't know what you mean by
that word :-)

There are a few things you could mean:

  1) well-understood interfaces and existing drivers so that you can get
  at the weather data and use it, and not have problems due to closed
  interfaces

  2) open protocol, or perhaps reverse-engineered protocols, for the
  sensor suite (outside part) to talk to the console (inside, that you
  look at, and that usually is interfaced to a computer), so that you
  can sniff it with an SDR instead of using the console receiver.

  3) being able to get at the weather data locally, without the device
  talking to some cloud service (not under your control, subject to the
  company stopping it, and likely run with proprietary software)

  3A) separately from transport via cloud, can the local station produce
  observations by itself, or does it need a (perhaps implemented with
  proprietary software) cloud service to do that?

  4) firmware/software for the weather station equipment being open source

  5) an open hardware design for the station, even if it uses proprietary
  chips

  6) full-on open, meaning open licenses for all silicon in the station,
  including CPUs and sensors, which leads you to RISC-V and for
  temp/humidity I'm really not sure what.

You mentioned home automation, so I would recommend you check out the
mqtt extension, which is I think what most use to bridge weewx data into
an automation system (such as Home Assistant, which is the natural
choice for weewx fans, being open source and python).
  https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/mqtt

For 1, there are lots of choices, and basically you should look at what
weewx supports.

For 2, I am not really aware of anything open, except for build-your-own
kinds of stations.  But maybe weatherflow is UDP over IP and counts
here.  The Davis VP2 protocol has been reverse engineered and there is
rtldavis.  However, the Davis datalogger/interface in the console has
the really nice property that when your computer goes down, it keeps
storing data, and then when you straighten out your computer from the
botched upgrade, or you get power back, weewx reads the data and your
historical record is 100% fine, as if you never went down.   So I don't
really want to get my data with an SDR on a unix computer, even though
I'd like to try that, because I really like it that I haven't lost data
the probably 6 times I've had an issue in about 2.5 years.

For 3, Davis is fine, and some acurite setups have local USB.  Various
other systems have "interceptor" drivers that snoop the data going to
the cloud, and I have the impression that sometimes people fetch their
own data back from the cloud because that's all they can do.

For 3a, note Vince's comments about weatherflow and rain.  (I think
weatherflow is really interesting and don't mean to knock them.  I just
find the notion that you don't know how much rain you got without the
internet quite curious.  On the other hand sometimes with Davis it rains
and you conclude from the readings that you have a bird's nest, wasp's
nest or pine needles in your rain collector or blocking the tipping
bucket from tipping.)

For 4, and even more so for 5, I'm not aware of any contenders, other
than build-your-own with arduino and e.g. i2c sensors.  But this is
very interesting and may qualify:
  https://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/Kits/WeatherStation/WeatherStation.html
  https://www.tinkerforge.com/en/shop/bricklets/sensors.html
However, I don't see rain and wind.

For 6, my impresssion is that I will be viewed as crazy just for

That leaves you with all the other considerations, which is that Davis
is expensive but otherwise viewed favorably by most, and that various
cheap stations are cheap and tend to fail.  And weatherflow seems to
turn everyone who plays with one into a fan, which is a very positive
comment.

There are surely DIY/maker projects out there to do rain gauges and
maybe wind.  Temp is fairly easy, but you need to build a radiation
shield.  So I'd say this is for "my hobby is building a weather station
from parts" vs "I want to get weather data into my home assistant setup
and I don't want anything too egregious".

Re: [weewx-user] weewx4 locks up Vantage2 console

2020-05-17 Thread Tom Mitchell

This was helpful to me. I have a VP2 console I have been having trouble 
with since 3.9 and this command resolved it. So at least for me, this is 
not about 4.0 as it is about my console.

Thanks - really appreciate the info. One thing you can do with Home 
Assistant to make sure you are not filling up your DB with lots of sensor 
data that is constantly changing is to exclude specific sensors from 
recorder - looks something like this:

recorder:
  db_url: 
mysql://homeassistant:xxx@core-mariadb/homeassistant?charset=utf8
  purge_keep_days: 2
  exclude:
domains:
  - automation
  - group
  - script
  - adtimer
entities:
  - sun.sun
  - sensor.i_air
  - sensor.i_bedroom_2_3
  - sensor.i_cooktop_oven_a

2020-05-17 Thread gjr80

Sean,

A few suggestions. First, don’t reformat and reinstall. From the log it is
pretty clear that something is causing rtl_433 to fail when run under WeeWX.
Let’s work through the sdr setup process again to make sure sdr is (still)
setup correctly. You said when run from the command line thee rtl_433 works,
can you do that again and post the command entered and the output to the
console.

Oh, and a couple of things about log extracts, we always say don’t be afraid to
post more when posting a log extract. Well there is a limit, when I have been
viewing your log extract it takes five minutes of a scrolling on my iPad to get
to the latest log (midway though you change from WeeWX 3.9.2 to 4.0.0 so it is
almost pointless looking at the 3.9.2 entries) by that time I’ve almost lost
interest. When posting a log extract can you just post a few cycles. This wiki
entry (https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Help!-Posting-to-weewx-user)
outlines the process to get a good log extract. And please don’t append log
extracts to one another. Not complaints just trying to make remote debugging a
little easier where possible, remote debugging is difficult enough as it is.

Do you get any useful error messages from the driver if you run weewx from

This smells like a data error and I don't know if reinstalling is the best

[weewx-user] Re: weewx has been working for months but it's suddely offline

2020-05-17 Thread Sean Jahnig

After hours of fiddling, it is still not working.

When i change 'station_type' to Simulator, it starts publishing 0 to 
windGuru. So that element is working. https://www.windguru.cz/station/2146

As soon as i change 'station_type' back to SDR it stops publishing.

When i run sudo rtl_433 -M utc -F json from terminal, it works and i see 
the sensor being read. But this same code inside weewx does not seem to be 
performing properly because it obviously doesn't publish.

Before i go ahead and format the SD and start again, can anyone help me 
with the process to completely remove rtl_433 and rtl_sdr so that i can do 
a fresh install. Perhaps something has gone wrong with these 2 elements and 
they are not performing correctly.

BTW, i added  log_unknown_sensors = True and log_unmapped_sensors = True  to 
the [SDR] section of the weewx.conf and this is the output 
- https://www.dropbox.com/s/n2gwwslqcbwchlj/weewx_03.log?dl=0

Thanks,
Sean.

Re: [weewx-user] Real-time (or close) Wind Speed?

2020-05-17 Thread Greg Troxel

Something else I forgot to mention:

weewx sending loop packets to mqtt works fine, by many reports on this
list, as does other things getting those reports.

However, with Home Assistant, what you do is construct a sensor of type
mqtt, and that sensor sees an udpated value every time it receives a
notification via MQTT.  There is a notion of storing each update in a
database, so you can graph it, etc.

I am currently sending only archive packets to MQTT, because I don't
want 43200 temperature datapoints in my HA sqlite3 database, because I
think it might cause trouble and I don't feel the need.  Perhaps that is
silly of me and it would work 100% fine.   And if it were just temp,
that might be one thing, but there are two temps, two humidities,
pressure, rain, wind speed/direction and so on so really this is 0.5M
observations per day.

So, you might want to think of modifying the mqtt sender in weewx to
send wind every 5 minutes, or when it's higher than the last report, or
something like that, so you can get the rapid response you want without
storing tens of thousands of uninteresting data points.

What's your budget ?

You can't get more open than WeatherFlow, although (at this time) the rain 
measurements are not good.  Otherwise pretty slick.  Solar panel, no moving 
parts, and a great set of programming API 'and' an existing weewx driver 
that works great.   Excellent customer service.  Very active forums on 
their site too.  Lots of software integrations from the user community.

(disclaimer - I'm a beta tester for them)

WF just came out with their new Tempest system.  I would expect some folks 
with the previous SmartWeather gear might be looking to sell gently used 
stuff for a good price, if you look around.
