[weewx-user] Re: READ THIS!

[gjr80]

The problem is encountered when using the extension installer/uninstaller 
weectl 
extension. If you install WeeWX v5 via a package install and then use weectl 
extension install to install an extension, some or all of the extension 
files may be installed in an incorrect location. At this stage nothing 
destructive has occurred to your system other than the extension files 
perhaps being in the wrong location (and almost certainly the extension 
itself will not work with WeeWX - though WeeWX functions normally). If you 
then happen to uninstall the extension (perhaps because it seemingly does 
not work) with weectl extension uninstall that is when the uninstaller 
might delete system files.

So in these circumstances we recommend against installing or uninstalling 
extensions with weectl extension. Manual installs/uninstalls of extensions 
will be fine, it is just weectl extension that experiences problems. Also, 
if you have upgraded from an earlier WeeWX package install and the 
extension concerned was already installed (ie it was not installed using weectl 
extension) then you will be fine.

This issue will be fixed in v5.0.1 which should be released real soon.

[Andrew Cornwall]

I'm using weewx 5.0.0-1 (which I upgraded through Debian apt) and the 
GW1000 driver. Does that mean I should not install the driver via 
wee_extension until a new version comes out?

Thanks...

Re: [weewx-user] Integrate rain24 with Packetsloop

[Tom Keffer]

If an observation type never gets reset to zero, you have two choices.
1. Save the value. If you want to know daily use, take the difference of
the value.
2. Save the difference. That is, the change in the value over an archive
period. If you want to know daily use, you would sum all the small deltas.
This is like rain

See the discussion *Accumulated vs delta energy
*
in
the README of the Brultech driver for the pros and cons of the two
approaches.

It is not necessary to save "dayRain". WeeWX mostly uses "rain". Besides,
as you note, it can always be calculated.

 Good morning,

 I created a [driver] for weewx to retrieve data from the Awekas API (my
 Bresser weather station does not have a USB port).

 This works but regarding the rain, it is not the instantaneous rain
 (from a packetloop) that we recover but the rain over 24 hours since
 midnight.
 Is there a "simple" way to tell WeeWX that the packetsloop rain data
 corresponds to the cumulative rain since midnight and not the rain that
 fell during the data retrieval interval (the time gap between two
 packetsloops) ?

 Thank you so much...

Network unreachable is a different issue than others are having. 

What's your weewx system ip ?  What is the ip you are trying to talk to ?   
If they're on different networks you are possibly missing a route on your 
weewx system.   From the weewx system you might try "traceroute -n 
192.168.50.39" if the destination address in your logs is correct.

This one looks like a routing or packet filter issue on a router in between 
the weewx box and the serial-to-ethernet converter 'if' they are on 
different subnets

So, I've solved my problem.  If you're using the aeris free account on 
their contributor plan, do not turn on aeris maps in the belchertown 
settings.  I don't know what has changed on their end because I have had 
the same configuration for many years, but now the map will make thousands 
of hits per hour and they will shut you down when you exceed your allowed 
5,000 hits.  I turned off the aeris maps and all looks well so far.

Re: [weewx-user] Integrate rain24 with Packetsloop

[Remy Lavabre]

And one more question
Is it absolutely necessary to create a "dayRain" field in addition to the 
"rain" field in the weewx.sdb database?
If the database only contains the [rain] field but the Weewx driver returns 
a "dayRain" field (cumulative rain over 24 hours since midnight) with a 
real value in each packetloop, the class [[Delta]] [[ [rain]]] input = 
dayRain will it work??
(the accumulation of rain since midnight is useless to me in a database 
field since it is easily calculated)
Sorry for all the questions...and thanks again! ;-)

Re: [weewx-user] Integrate rain24 with Packetsloop

[Remy Lavabre]

Hello Tom and thank you for your response.

 [StdWXCalculate]
 [[Calculations]]
 ...
 [[Delta]]
 [[[rain]]]
 input = dayRain

This will calculate the rain difference between two records in weewx sql 
based on the principle that the counter is reset to zero at midnight -> 
PERFECT FOR THE RAIN 24H !

Small additional question: if we wish to constantly calculate the 
difference between two records values of a meter which *never* resets to 
zero (such as an electricity or water meter), how should we proceed?

THANKS
