[weewx-user] MQTT lagging

[T Reid]

I am using the MQTT add-in to pipe real time loop entries from my Davis 
Vantage Pro into the Belchertown skin, using the standard instructions for 
that skin.  It generally works great.  But every couple of days the MQTT 
feed will fall behind, sometimes by as much as an hour or more.  To fix it, 
I have to restart weewx.  Any idea what might be happening?  I am running 
weewx 4.1.1 with Belchertown 1.1.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Belchertown: earthquake miles vs km's

[Tim Tuck]

Hi Arend,

nice update to change miles to km.

In your patch you have ...

|eqmag = locale.format("%g", float(eqmag) )|


But you don't show what it was previously so knowing which "eqmag" to 
change is hard.


thanks
Tim

I'm facing just a minor issue: in the skin.conf is defined
'earthquake_maxradiuskm = 2000'. Therefore I'm expecting a
distance in km's, but the actual distance as well as the

this? (http://oentsjerk.eu/)


I see km when I look at your page.

Mike,
You could try running as a service rather than a driver.

[Boston Tom]

Thanks all, those are excellent suggestions.  In fact I do have another 
rpi4 still in the box.  I will build that one and get it working before 
repurposing the existing set-up.

Thanks again!

Looks like this may be a good fit and I see that Weewx can read from the

[weewx-user] Re: combining old and new databases

[paul.ba...@gmail.com]

Just an extra note about SQLite3 and MySQL: I am running many small dB 
using both SQLite3 and MySQL and find both useful and equally easy to use. 
MySQL is definitely more complex to start with, but provides also much more 
flexibility than SQLite3. Administration of MySQL is essentially zero.
One small but important difference in dump files is that SQLite3 starts 
with creating the database, while MySQL erase it before creating the new 
one.
So if you were running MySQL, you must first edit manually the file, 
removing both DROP and CREATE lines before reloading the "old' file, while 
with SQLite3 just remove the CREATE line as you did.
Enjoy and take care! Paul

You 'always' want to have a backup of your working system.  SD cards fail. 
 All computers can break.

   - save your database someplace occasionally
   - save your weewx.conf file
   - run "sudo wee_extension --list" to keep track of what you installed as 
   extensions or skins

There is no ticking clock in weewx or the os requiring you to change 
anything if it is working for you now, assuming you run your pi LAN-only 
and don't expose anything to possible Internet attacks.   It really comes 
down to how much time you want to invest and when you want to do so.

If you only have one pi and wouldn't mind not feeding CWOP etc. for an hour 
perhaps, the simplest thing is to buy another SD card for $10 or so and 
start from scratch with the new os and current weewx and get that working. 
 Once the pi works on your network ok, restore your old database and start 
weewx up again and you'll be all upgraded.   If you mess it up, just run 
off your old SD card that you know is set up correctly.

But agree with John that if you had a second pi it's a little easier 
perhaps.

Re: [weewx-user] Should I upgrade to weewx 4.1.1?

[Tom Keffer]

Good suggestion from John, and probably the safest.

You'll have to decide for yourself whether to do an *in situ* upgrade.

I can say that we have worked hard on common upgrade paths, and Debian 8 to
9 is one of them.

If you decide to go the upgrade route, remember to upgrade your interceptor
driver as well.

Re: [weewx-user] Should I upgrade to weewx 4.1.1?

[John Kline]

If another Raspberry Pi is affordable for you, you might consider setting up a 
completely new system.  That would give you time to get things right.  If you 
are successful, you could then stop both WeeWX instances, copy over the 
database (weewx.sdb) to the new system and restart.

Re: [weewx-user] Should I upgrade to weewx 4.1.1?

[Boston Tom]

Yes, that's the reason behind wanting to upgrade.  I want to keep up to 
date every so often so that I don't wind up with a set up that gets 
completely phased out.  Do you recommend just leaving it alone until 
something stops working?

[weewx-user] Belchertown: earthquake miles vs km's

[blee...@xs4all.nl]

Hi Pat,

At first thanks fot the 1.2 skin with the Aeris-weather fortecast etc, 
working great; props!

I'm facing just a minor issue: in the skin.conf is defined 
'earthquake_maxradiuskm = 2000'. Therefore I'm expecting a distance in 
km's, but the actual distance as well as the units are still in miles (mijl 
in Dutch). How to resolve this? (http://oentsjerk.eu/)

Regards, Keimpe

Re: [weewx-user] Should I upgrade to weewx 4.1.1?

[Tom Keffer]

If your system is working fine, why mess with it? Especially if it involves
an OS upgrade.

The only catch is that eventually Python 2 will be phased out and, to keep
up with security upgrades, you may be forced to switch.

[weewx-user] Should I upgrade to weewx 4.1.1?

[Boston Tom]

I am running 3.7.1 on an rpi with the interceptor driver to collect data 
from my Lacrosse system and publish it to the web, CWOP, APRS, etc.

Everything has been running fine for several years, but I am considering 
upgrading.  I am not Linux or programming  savvy.  I just do things 
logically by trial and error and eventually get things to work.somehow.

It took me quite a while to get my existing set-up working, so now I am a 
little nervous to tinker with anything.  

I am running Raspian GNU/Linux 8.0 (jessie), release 8.0

Should I upgrade to weewx 4.1.1, or just leave it alone?

If upgrading will not be too disruptive to my system, it looks like I will 
need to upgrade the operating system (based on the weewx page 
prerequisites).

Will an operating system upgrade affect my current set-up?
Will updating to weewx 4.1.1 wipe out my current config settings, or mess 
with the interceptor driver I need to run to collect the data?

Thanks in advance.

[weewx-user] Belchertown skin 1.1 RainWithRainRate in cm not mm

[Neville Davis]

Hi
We have had rain for the first time in many months, we had about 20mm in 
about 30 mins...total daily rain is correct, but because of the intensity 
of the rain I had the station observation rain with rain rate displaying cm 
values not mm values, i.e 1.9 instead of 19mm and 3.5 instead of 35 mm/h. 
The daily rain totals correct in mm.
I cannot see where this data is calculated.
My weewx.conf MQTT section only has this
[[MQTT]]
server_url = mqtt:x
topic = weather
unit_system = METRIC
binding = archive, loop
aggregation = aggregate

The Belchertown section has this ( note I have a couple of special 
observations for my aircon and FARS temperature enclosure fan speed)
[[Belchertown]]
skin = Belchertown
enable = true
HTML_ROOT = public_html/belchertown
[[[Extras]]]
belchertown_root_url = http://x
belchertown_locale = auto
theme = auto
theme_toggle_enabled = 1
site_title = Nev and Gays Home
home_page_header = Weather conditions
mqtt_websockets_enabled = 1
mqtt_websockets_host = xxx
mqtt_websockets_port = 9001
mqtt_websockets_topic = weather/loop
mqtt_websockets_ssl = 0
disconnect_live_website_visitor = 90
logo_image = ""
#footer_copyright_text = ""
forecast_enabled = 1
darksky_secret_key = 
earthquake_enabled = 0
twitter_enabled = 1
station_observations = inTemp, extraTemp1, acroomtempsensor, 
barometer, outHumidity, rainWithRainRate, farsSpeed
I expect I need to set the observation RainWithRainRate to mm, my question 
is how.

Thankyou

Nev
