[weewx-user] Station hardware reccomendation

2018-01-16 Thread Brent Wesley
Hi Everyone

I have been running Weewx for Just over a year now with Oregon Scientific 
LW301 and related sensors.  http://weather.wesley.email:8080/

My OS equipment is getting old and weather beaten. I am up for a new Rain, 
Wind and a temp sensor which have all failed.  While it was a bit of 
struggle getting the Weewx driver to the lw301 working (I think I was the 
first to use it in the wild), It has worked well.

However With being up for 3 new sensors I tis time to review am I using the 
right platform for weewx. OS in Australia can be hard to get and is 
expensive. 

What to other people run as far as network connected Weather station 
hardware? Pro and Cons would be good.

TIA
Brent

Thanks

I found where it was going wrong in the skin.conf. The one place I didn't 
check.

[weewx-user] Imperial/Metric rain data problem

2017-01-04 Thread Brent Wesley
Hi Everyone

I have found I have an issue with the raid data coming back in to weewx. 
Looking at the data coming in from the interceptor driver I am using to 
ready from my OS LW300 system, the rain data is coming back as imperial 
figure which is converted to the correct rain delta in the driver (previous 
ready subtracted from the current). 

I have my DB set up and metric so when displaying rain.day.sum it is 
showing an incorrect value.

What is the easiest way to fix this. I am happy to drop the previous rain 
figures from the DB and not convert them.

Thanks
Brent.

[weewx-user] Re: New installation and appTemp

2016-11-27 Thread Brent Wesley
Thanks Mark,

Adding the field in to the database and dropping the daily values has fixed 
the problem. The feels like calculation that is part of the skin now works.

I have been meaning to get back to you on github about the multi channel 
fix you posting for me(ratava). The code change for the UV reading is 
working great as you can see on the website.

I had some initial instability of reading the sensors reliably with the 
lw302 but that seems to have largely been sorted. I have noticed that the 
barometer readings only seem to come through on a change or a reset of the 
lw302.

I have some details on some of the other values you might want to put in 
the comments. I have a bunch of sample packets I can send you as well. I 
will update the github problem with the detail.

Thanks
Brent

[weewx-user] New installation and appTemp

2016-11-27 Thread Brent Wesley
Hi Everyone

I have a brand new weewx site built around the Responsive skin with the 
interceptor driver collecting data from a Oregon Scientific setup. Weewx is 
configure with the target_unit set to Metric and the database configured to 
do so.

The site is working well ( http://weather.gotgeeks.com:8080/ ) except the 
appTemp information. I am not getting back a metric value sent to and from 
the calculation.

I have dug in to the code and can see the call from the wxservices.py to 
calculate the value and even put some code in to print the outTemp, 
outHumidity and winSpeed values to the syslog. 

For example:
Nov 28 03:00:33 ip-172-31-29-42 weewx[8599]: outTemp 84.47
Nov 28 03:00:33 ip-172-31-29-42 weewx[8599]: outHumidity 41.5
Nov 28 03:00:33 ip-172-31-29-42 weewx[8599]: windSpeed 8.61224753558
Nov 28 03:00:33 ip-172-31-29-42 weewx[8599]: appTemp 82.346215

It is my understanding that if the system, database and data coming back 
from the sensors is in metric values, it should be stored in the database 
as a metric value and all calculations are metric. Also I don't see 
anywhere in the database schema (sqlite) that any appTemp values are being 
stored. 

>From my understanding that as of version 3.5 this is meant to be done.

When I try and use the $current.appTemp value in the skin template it is 
not able to get a value, probably because the value it being bounds checked 
as being and invalid temperate for degrees_C.

Is there a step I have missed in the set up regarding the setup? I have 
tried to read as much posts and documentation as I can but still not 
getting anywhere.

Please help.
TIA
Brent
