Re: [weewx-user] Re: how I change what shows up in my Weewx RSS feed?
Hi Gary, That's very helpful. Thank you. Now that you mention it, showing from the top of the hour would probably be better. So to be clear... If I want to display the total rain since the top of the hour, I would use: $span($hour.rain.sum) If I want to display the max wind gust since the top of the hour, I would use: $span($hour.windGust.sum) Is that correct?

Hi Gary, That worked! The most recent tweet: Time: 12/10/18 08:00:00 PM Temp: 11.4°C Wind Chill: 11.4°C Heat Index: 11.4°C Dewpoint: 4.4°C Humidity: 62% Barometer: 1017.4 hPa Wind: 10 km/h from WNW Max Wind Gust this hour: 18 km/h Rain Rate: 0.0 mm/hr Sorry, one more quick thing (I promise). What can I add/change to show total rain rate for the hour? On Fri, Oct 12, 2018 at 7:54 PM Kevin Lloyd wrote: > Thanks Gary!

Re: [weewx-user] Re: how I change what shows up in my Weewx RSS feed?
Hi Gary, Here's what part of my RSS tmpl file looks like right now: Time:$current.dateTime Outside Temperature: $current.outTemp Wind Chill: $current.windchill Heat Index: $current.heatindex Dewpoint:$current.dewpoint Humidity:$current.outHumidity Barometer: $current.barometer Wind:$current.windSpeed from $current.windDir.ordinal_compass Rain Rate: $current.rainRate So, I would add something like this(?): Wind Gust:$day.windGust.max "$day can be replaced with $month or $year. Other periods are available too with custom search lists." Max wind gust for the day would work, but max wind gust for the hour would be even better, since the main benefit of Twitter is that it's real-time. What would I need to change/add to do that?

Re: [weewx-user] Re: how I change what shows up in my Weewx RSS feed?
Actually, I have one more related thought. Having wind direction show up in the RSS and Twitter feeds is important, but I'd like to also have the max wind gust show up as well. What do I need to change or add to make that happen? As always, I really appreciate the help. :) On Fri, Oct 12, 2018 at 4:04 PM Kevin Lloyd wrote: > Finally found some time to figure this out today!

[weewx-user] how I change what shows up in my Weewx RSS feed?
Hello everyone, I have been using Weewx for a couple of months on a two Raspberry Pi 3's, each connected to a weather station. That being said, I'm using dlvr.it to pull the most recent post from one of the Weewx's RSS feed, and publish those posts to Twitter every 15 minutes, or at often as a new post shows up. How do I change what shows up in the RSS feed? Case in point, a recent tweet (from Twitter.com/ComoxWeather): "Time: 08/10/18 02:40:00 PM Outside Temperature: 11.9°C Inside Temperature: 22.8°C Wind Chill: 11.9°C Heat Index: 11.9°C Dewpoint: 11.2°C Humidity: 95% Barometer: 1012.1 hPa Wind: 6 km/h from 106° Rain Rate: 0.0 mm/hr" I find it interesting that my weather station (Acurite) and my Weewx site shows the Wind Direction as km/h from ENE (for example), but in the RSS feed and tweets, it's showing up as "Wind: 6 kmh from 106°", for example. How do I change that to show up as ENE or whatever? I spent a couple of hours this weekend researching online, but so far haven't found a solution. Hopefully someone here can help me figure this out? It's important to note that I'm *very* new at scripting, and the Raspberry Pi. The only reason I got this far is because people have been kind enough to post step by step setup guides, including each command line instruction, and of course I followed the guides on weewx.com, and Meteotemplate.com. Any help is very much appreciated! :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
