[weewx-user] Re: New Tempest owner, how to show Lightning output in weewx ?

2021-08-27 Thread Benedict 
The wf.txt is generated by the weather34 skin/extension, and apparently 
*that* uses "brightness" instead of "illuminance", but that seems to just 
be their preference for the obs_st value output though the online api.

2021-08-25 Thread Benedict 
Just an FYI for you all looking for Lightning output from WeatherFlow as 
it's shown on the tempestwx site. I checked both https://pwsdashboard.com/ 
and https://github.com/steepleian/weewx-Weather34/
and from there succeeded in creating a 'live' jsondata/wf.txt file (using 
API Data token from the tempestwx site), and its content looks like this;

{"station_id":X,"station_name":"XX","public_name":"XXX","latitude":XXX,"longitude":XXX,"timezone":"Europe/","elevation":18,"is_public":true,"status":{"status_code":0,"status_message":"SUCCESS"},"station_units":{"units_temp":"c","units_wind":"kph","units_precip":"mm","units_pressure":"hpa","units_distance":"km","units_direction":"cardinal","units_other":"metric"},"outdoor_keys":["timestamp","air_temperature","barometric_pressure","station_pressure","pressure_trend","sea_level_pressure","relative_humidity","precip","precip_accum_last_1hr","precip_accum_local_day","precip_accum_local_yesterday","precip_minutes_local_day","precip_minutes_local_yesterday","wind_avg","wind_direction","wind_gust","wind_lull","solar_radiation","uv","brightness","lightning_strike_last_epoch","lightning_strike_last_distance","lightning_strike_count","lightning_strike_count_last_1hr","lightning_strike_count_last_3hr","feels_like","heat_index","wind_chill","dew_point","wet_bulb_temperature","delta_t","air_density"],"obs":[{"timestamp":1629929484,"air_temperature":15.7,"barometric_pressure":1017.1,"station_pressure":1017.1,"sea_level_pressure":1018.0,"relative_humidity":95,"precip":0.0,"precip_accum_last_1hr":0.0,"precip_accum_local_day":0.0,"precip_accum_local_yesterday":0.0,"precip_minutes_local_day":0,"precip_minutes_local_yesterday":0,"wind_avg":2.7,"wind_direction":335,"wind_gust":4.0,"wind_lull":0.9,"solar_radiation":0,"uv":0.0,"brightness":0,"lightning_strike_last_epoch":1629633834,"lightning_strike_last_distance":41,"lightning_strike_count":0,"lightning_strike_count_last_1hr":0,"lightning_strike_count_last_3hr":0,"feels_like":15.7,"heat_index":15.7,"wind_chill":15.7,"dew_point":14.9,"wet_bulb_temperature":15.2,"delta_t":0.5,"air_density":1.22665,"pressure_trend":"falling"}]}

Now all we need to do is have WeeWX grab its lightning data from this 
wf.txt file, which then will be identical to what you'd see in the tempest 
app/site.

Anyone here that has done this before that could show us the way?

 Have weewx running showing most data from the tempest, except for
 - Illuminance/Brightness (in lux, which I would like to include as a 
 plaintext and graph, just like UV)

 - Lightning, for which it seems they do it as follows in the UDP load 
 (example nrs):

 Lightning Strike Event [type = evt_strike]
 { "serial_number": "AR-4049",
 type":"evt_strike",
 "hub_sn": "HB-0001",
 "evt":[1493322445,27,3848] } 

 Index Field Units
 0 | Time Epoch | Seconds
 1 | Distance | km
 2 | Energy |

 What is the Energy unit here? Anyone from Weatherflow who can chime in ?

 And, most importantly, anyone has these values properly showing in 
 weewx yet?
 If so, what does it look like in your weewx.conf ? Could anyone be so 
 kind as to copy paste their weewx.conf sensor data, without the hub and 
 station nrs if needed).

 https://weatherflow.github.io/Tempest/api/udp/v170/

 Thanks in advance for any and all help here.

[weewx-user] Re: BaraniDesign MeteoHelix MeteoWind MeteoRain through allMETEO

2021-08-15 Thread Benedict 
Nope. The parsing of ftp-data is very hard, because barani uploads either 
in 1 file subsequently all output, per device, or renews each uploaded file 
per device per output burst. It's very complex and causes delays/skips 
output you would not want to see happen, and a lot of bonus dependencies. 
It would be better if they would support something like weewx directly 
through LoraWAN or a driver, or some standalone linux CLI app that 
communicates directly with the LoRaWAN router.
I really have no idea why barani has chosen to do stuff so different from 
the others. It makes their measurements pretty close to useless, 'closed 
source output', which is all but what we want in the meteo world. A shame, 
since their sensors are very accurate. I'm afraid the brand will go 
bankrupt because of this. There's way too much competition that has IoT 
compatibilities and more ease of use.

[weewx-user] BaraniDesign MeteoHelix MeteoWind MeteoRain through allMETEO

2020-11-26 Thread Benedict 
Not sure if this should be in the dev or in user group. Depends, I guess..
I have my own debian server running weewx (currently parsing netatmo data) 
and I want it to collect and show data from my barani Pro IoT devices, 
which are not in the supported hardware list, and frankly I have no idea if 
there are brands that use similar protocols/output, and use the same sensor 
descriptors.

My barani devices upload data through LoRaWAN via TheThingsNetwork to a 
site called allMETEO.com. Here's a couple screenshots so you can see; 
https://afluisterland.nl/img/barani/
So, as you can see at the allmeteo site I can forward using FTP or HTTP, in 
a txt file to a ftp server for example, would that be an option? Can weewx 
monitor more than one file or an entire folder for new content and then 
parse its values?

Another option would be to interface directly through TTN, is there any of 
you users that uses TheThingsNetwork to get data visualized on a weewx site?

Thanks in advance for any and all info,

Ben
