Re: [weewx-user] Re: Weewx to Mastodon/ActivityPub?

Very interesting. Temporarily I've been duplicating my Twitter posts to 
Mastodon using IFTTT but plan to make the change to native support. 
Would you mind posting a link to your Mastodon profile so we can see the 
results?

[weewx-user] Re: Belchertown w/MQTT Temperature not updating?

[DaveStLou]

Bumping this since the issue still exists.
My own assessment of the lack of response to this thread:

   - I haven't provided enough or right information.
   - Not many users have expertise in Belchertown skin. 
   - Truly is a bug. 

If the first, please let me know what if any information would help in 
making suggestions to solve my issue. If the last two, I guess reporting on 
github is next step. Any other resources are appreciated as well.

Thanks!

[weewx-user] Re: Belchertown w/MQTT Temperature not updating?

[DaveStLou]

MQTT is sending data. I turned on debug. Logs shows the site reading the 
data properly. Only fields changing are data received time, wind direction 
and beaufort category. All other fields only updated by refreshing the 
entire page.

Seems unlikely to me that it's a bug. I looked at 
https://belchertownweather.com/ and it is working correctly there.

Anyone have any thoughts or direction?

[DaveStLou]

Seems only the wind data is updating (direction and speed) from the mqtt 
data. In addition to temperature, I realize now that the barometer, dew 
point and humidity are also only updating when I refresh.

Thanks for any assistance!

[DaveStLou]

I've attached logs, configs and mqtt data a couple of days ago. Temperature 
and other data is in the mqtt file.

Any thoughts on getting the live mqtt data to update temperature as 
expected?

Thanks!

Here's a sample from subscribing to weather/loop. Shows outside temp at 
51.4. Meanwhile my weather page at https://OakvilleWX.com on my browser was 
still showing 51.1 but wind was changing every three seconds as expected.

When I refreshed page in browser it then showed 51.4 as well.

[weewx-user] Belchertown w/MQTT Temperature not updating?

[DaveStLou]

On my station website OakvilleWX.com, I see MQTT updates most values 
real-time as it's supposed to. If I leave it up for a time though, I've 
noticed that the temperature doesn't update unless I refresh the page.

I reviewed the configuration settings this morning and didn't see anything 
obvious.

Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Re: [weewx-user] Skin with webcam?

[DaveStLou]

Turns out it was these two lines:
 mqtt_websockets_username = ""
 mqtt_websockets_password = ""

I do not need either of these and thought leaving them blank caused them to 
be ignored but found out I had to comment them out. All is well.

My weewx logs were normal. I turned on MQTT write success messages to 
confirm the loop messages were being recorded. I rolled back by copying 
weewx.conf and Belchertown folder files from backup.

I'm going to try again and see if I can find anything else. My current 
theory is that there may have been an issue with my webhost and CloudFlare. 
I'm going to do further testing before I post logs.

I compared the skin.conf and weewx.conf before and after the update and the 
only change was the option for setting a username and password to read MQTT 
which mine does not require. By end of the day my whole site went offline. 
Some sort of issue between CloudFlare and my webhost so it may have been 
something else happening. I'm going to try again.

Re: [weewx-user] Skin with webcam?

[DaveStLou]

Hello!

I've been away for a bit and am trying to update my website using the 
information above. After downloading and installing the master.zip 
mentioned in issue 703, my MQTT live connection is failing. Using 
?debug=true, I see "Cannot connect to MQTT broker" in the browser console. 
I'd really like to take advantage of all the progress since I last visited 
this thread, but I don't want to lose MQTT live updates.

Any thoughts on what might be breaking the MQTT connection?

 When I roll back the files to prior to this update (still 1.3b1), MQTT 
connection resumes as usual (OakvilleWX.com }.

Thanks in advance for assistance!

Re: [weewx-user] Skin with webcam?

[DaveStLou]

Information on index_hook_after_station_info.inc is in the Belchertown Skin 
documentation here: 
https://github.com/poblabs/weewx-belchertown#add-custom-content-to-the-front-page

You create an html file with that name with whatever you want in it and 
place it in the root of the Belchertown skin folder.

I 'm no expert by any means. I usually just try things I find here: w3school's 
HTML Tutorial <https://www.w3schools.com/html/>. I'm sure there's room for 
improvement.

With that intro, I've attached the index_hook_after_station_info.inc I 
created which includes the link to YouTube livestream and the embeded 
EarthCam content.

Re: [weewx-user] Skin with webcam?

[DaveStLou]

Like In77, I use Belchertown skin. I added my webcam in 
"index_hook_after_station_info" section so it appears below the station 
information: OakvilleWx.com

[weewx-user] Re: Belchertown added ssl - mqtt stuck "connecting"

[DaveStLou]

Posting the resolution in case anyone finds this in a search. I had to 

   1. Set up and enable SSL on my mqtt server per Pat's instructions here: 
   https://obrienlabs.net/how-to-setup-your-own-mqtt-broker/
   2. Added SSL cert to MQTT config (from same page above)
   3. Set option "mqtt_websockets_ssl = 1" in skin.conf

All is well now: https://oakvillewx.com/

[weewx-user] Re: Belchertown added ssl - mqtt stuck "connecting"

[DaveStLou]

That makes sense but I'm such a novice on certs, I'll have to do some 
research on how to get the cert to be valid on both servers. 
For the time being, I've disabled the mqtt portion of my website.

[weewx-user] Re: Belchertown added ssl - mqtt stuck "connecting"

[DaveStLou]

To explain further, I added a certificate on the host to oakvillewx.com so 
it's showing https now without a security warning.

I am *not* getting the "Failed to connect to weather station" error 
message. It just perpetually shows the "Connecting to weather station real 
time data". So I wonder, could it be connected to the mqtt stream but just 
not displaying the data?

BTW, I tried changing "mqtt_websockets_ssl" to 1 in the skin.conf but that 
DOES cause it to display the failed to connect error so that's a no go.

If this is covered elsewhere, please point me to the thread. Thanks in 
advance!

[weewx-user] Belchertown added ssl - mqtt stuck "connecting"

[DaveStLou]

I recently added ssl to my website oakvillewx.com. Now my mqtt data feed is 
stuck saying "Connecting to weather station real time data" in all browser 
types. 

I found references on the forum to using debugger in the browser. I can get 
that but I don't know how to use it to figure out what's happening. 

Appreciate help on troubleshooting this. Thanks!

Clearing the logger memory is what got mine back on track after recent

 Thanks for your suggestions.  I removed and reset the logger, removed

Not sure why it popped up all of a sudden except maybe there's a value in 
$current.barometer.raw that doesn't work with this expression.

I appreciate any help or direction. Thanks!

I'm importing data from my old CumulusMX system. All appears to go well and 
I see records in the database when I query them.However the data is not 
showing in the monthly and yearly reports when I view them in my browser. 
Although the drop down now shows the imported periods, the data doesn't 
show for the month or day.

Do I need to run or update something to get them to appear?

[weewx-user] SyntaxError in twitter.py

[DaveStLou]

 

Hi I'm new to weewx and Python. I'm switching from CumulusMx and I've 
gotten the basics running on my Raspberry Pi.

 

My trouble is when I attempt to install the Twitter extension. I've 
followed the instructions here:https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Twitter 
except I found I had to put sudo before "wee_extension --install 
weewx-twitter.zip" to avoid a permission error in the usr folder.

 

After entering the api credentials, I see this a SyntaxError in the syslog: 
https://pastebin.com/17uVf3E0

 

I assumed it was due to Python 3 incompatibility but when I switched to 
Python 2, I see the same error.

 

Thanks in advance for any help!
