[weewx-user] Re: "not reporting" after power outage

2017-02-28 Thread Jerry Simonowits
If you are using the Acurite console and the batteries have died (IOW, the 
console was unpowered for a period of time) it will come back up in USB 
mode 2 which does not send ay data out the USB port, by default. There is 
no known software method to reset this, you'll need to manually reset to 
USB Mode 4.

Thank you. Bad on me for not searching the posting archive.

I also like to adhere to good process. If I'm not sure if something should 
be posted here or the development group or both, what's the right thing to

[weewx-user] bad Accurate rain data

2017-02-25 Thread Jerry Simonowits
[wasn't sure if this belonged in the development group or here, so posting 
to both places]

Hi all, 

I’ve got an Accurate 5-in-1, with the sensor at the top of a tower (100 
feet or so) and the console in a blockhouse on the bottom. The console is 
in USB mode 4, and attached to a computer running CentOS with WeeWX running.

Today we had a line of severe thunderstorms so out team went back to check 
what was reported. Wind/Temp/Humidity/Wind Vector information all seem to 
be correct. However, the rain amount is showing up with rain last night 
when we had clear conditions and a HUGE number for rain today.

The sensor could be reporting a faulty number, or possibly this is caused 
by the Accurite driver or WeeWX itself. If anyone has any debugging ideas 
I’d appreciate it. (Kind of a challenge to get at the sensor array, it’s on 
top of a mast on top of the tower).

I have a very similar model of weather station at home and it correctly 
reflected .2 inches of rain.

Here’s the database search and the output.

Thanks in advance,
Jerry KB2GCG

[weewx-user] radar doesn't display correctly

2017-02-22 Thread Jerry Simonowits
On the good news front, we now have our Accurate weather station installed 
at Ebright Tower and running and available via our ham radio mesh network.

Now we're down to refinements and working out annoying minor bugs, one of 
which is that I can't seem to get the radar working properly with both an 
ing and a link to a loop.

Right now all I have showing is the word "Radar" which is a link to our 
local loop. 

Our files are config'd as follows:

rom skins.conf file


# Put any extra tags here that you want to be available in the templates


# Here's an example.

# This radar image would be available as $Extras.radar_img

radar_img = 
http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=dox&product=N0R&overlay=1110&loop=no

# This URL will be used as the image hyperlink:

radar_url = 
http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=DOX&product=NCR&overlay=1110&loop=yes


# Here's another. If you have a Google Analytics ID, uncomment and edit

# the next line, and the analytics code will automatically be included

# in your generated HTML files:

#googleAnalyticsId = UA-12345678-1



 


 



>From the index.html.tmpl


#if $Extras.has_key('radar_img')



#if $Extras.has_key('radar_url')



#end if



#if $Extras.has_key('radar_url')



Click image for expanded radar loop

#end if



#end if


 





What is displayed on the web page is just the word “Radar” which links to 
the loop.


What am I missing ?

[weewx-user] Help with Apache

2017-01-15 Thread Jerry Simonowits
Hi all,

For those who may not remember, I’m a ham radio operator and we’re planning on 
putting up a weather station on a local tower and integrate it with our AREDN 
Mesh network for use bye emergency services (local/county/state).

Well, I’ve made some progress (Interrupted by a family item, so took a break).

I installed all the other items I needed (such as an Apache Server) and then 
followed the directions here:

weewx: Installation using setup.py


I had a successful install and have things setup so that both Apache and weewx 
startup automatically on my Raspberry Pi upon restart.

When I check with : file:///home/weewx/public_html/index.html 
 it looks great, so this is good 
progress.

I followed these instructions to integrate with Apache:

If weewx was installed using setup.py, you must tell Apache where to find the 
weewx reports. One method is to install an Apache configuration snippet:

sudo cp util/apache/conf.d/weewx.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d
Be sure that the path in the Apache configuration snippet matches the HTML_ROOT 
defined in the weewx configuration file. For example, the path for a default 
setup.py installation would look like this:

Alias /weewx /home/weewx/public_html

Options FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride None

Restart Apache to make the changes happen:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
The conf.d file was created (it wasn’t there before) and it had the right root 
and so on in the file. I restarted Apache, and even restarted the Pi, but I’m 
getting a 404 when I try and access using the URL of http://localhost/weewx 
<http://localhost/weewx>

When I try http://localhost/home/weewx/public_html/index.html 
<http://localhost/home/weewx/public_html/index.html> I also get a 404 with an 
error message from Apache saying “The requested URL 
/home/weewx/public)html/index.html was not found on this server

Any suggestions ?

Re: [weewx-user] Integration with AREDN mesh network

2016-12-24 Thread Jerry Simonowits
Hello all again, and for those celebrating the holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy 
Chanukah, joyous Kwanza and if I missed something, the best of the holiday 
season to you.

I did get an Acurite weather station with USB.
I hooked up my computer to the USB and was able to download info, showing that 
the interface was working.
I got a Pi3 setup and running.

I installed weewx as per the instructions.

I started up weewx as:

sudo weewx weewx.conf

I then get an error message, because the configuration file is in /etc/weewx 
not in /home/pi

if I do a cd /etc/weewx and try to run it there, it can’t find the program.

OK, it’s been years since I’ve seriously used Unix of any kind directly. Any 
clues as to tell it how to find the config file ?

Thanks Joe, that’s what I had in mind but had trouble finding one.

2016-12-18 Thread Jerry Simonowits
Thank you Joe.

I was looking at the Vantage Vue, but the least expensive seems to be about 
$265, so if you have any ideas about something less expensive that would be 
helpful.

I presume the console is connected to the Pi via the USB interface ? Any 
recommendation on model (or add on’s) ? 

What you are describing seems like what I’m looking for, and we can make the 
web server available as a resource on the mesh.

Thanks again for your help with this.

[weewx-user] Integration with AREDN mesh network

2016-12-17 Thread Jerry Simonowits
Hi all,
I'm very very new to whew, so apologies in advance if this has been 
covered. I've seen some discussion but can't quite find what I want.

I'm part of a team that is building a local AREDN mesh network 
(www.aredn.org). This network will be related to offering emergency 
communications to various supported organizations during emergency 
situations where regular comms might not be available. We'll be offering a 
host of services (everything from phones to IM). 

One of the items that I thought would be helpful is to be able to supply 
weather conditions and weewx seems to fit the bill.

I'll be placing the weather sensor (a 5 in 1 or something similar) at the 
top of a tower (we have a camera there already) and the console in the 
building below (most of these devices seem to use 433mhz to communicate 
which is fine). That's the easy part.

What I'm looking to do is have a Pi running attached to the console and 
serving up the weather information visible to anyone who has access to the 
mesh network (IOW, it would have to run as a web server so others could see 
it).

Any suggestions in terms of weather devices (most of the ones that are on 
the tested list are either unavailable or very expensive) ? Is there a 
feature in weewx that could continue to send the data to the manufacturer's 
site as well as consume it ?

Jerry
