Re: [weewx-user] Re: Reboot GW1000 using monit?

2021-02-16 Thread James Batchelor 
If it truly needs scheduled reboot..  I am guessing .. a smart plug on the
USB brick?The again.. if WiFi is issue, smart plug may have issues too.
I have a GW1000.  it is on alll  the time. but it is near one of my
mesh pucks.

 maybe not big enough?

 You want to be really careful with which tablets you use and how old
 they are.  Reportedly a 'current' Kindle Fire works great and can be easily
 set to work as a kiosk, but my experience is not necesarily for all uses
 given the oddities of the Kindle browser.

 My one-gen-older 8" Fire wasn't good enough for me here but that might
 be nuances of the Home Assistant stuff I display here. My 2015 Samsung Tab2
 tablet also could 'not' display everything I cooked up with node-red and
 HomeAssistant as its os isn't updated any more.

 A official pi display+case for $90 if you have the pi already is a
 guaranteed win long-term.  Sometimes you just have to invest a few more
 bucks to future-proof yourself.  But 'lots' of people go the tablet 
 route...

What about an arduino or NodeMCU with a large LED board?  just drawing the
Temp in big digits.
I just set up a NodeMCU + little OLED to read a WeeWX json file for current
data..

of course a large LED board might be the same $ as a tablet..

Re: [weewx-user] GW1000 firmware update v1.6.2

2020-08-30 Thread James Batchelor 
I did the update.. before seeing all the talk.   The update wiped all
settings and reset rain totals.
lost ~4 hours of data before noticing.  That' what I get for pushing an
update and not testing everything before heading out to do chores.

I got everything working again.  just have to go through GW setup screen
and put everything back in as it was.
