[weewx-user] Archive interval confusion - is there a way to force archive interval?

[Robin Wilson]

Hi,

I've got weewx connected to a FineOffsetUSB sensor, a WS2080.

I've set the archive_interval in the config file to 300 seconds (5 
minutes). However, looking at the graphs in the generated HTML pages, I 
only see entries every half an hour (see image at the bottom - I'm using 
the weewx-wdc skin). The config file warns that if the sensor can do data 
logging itself then that interval will override the archive_interval set 
here, so I wonder if that's what happening here.

I've run `sudo weectl device --set-interval=5` to set the interval for the 
device itself to 5 minutes, and when I run the command again it says the 
current interval is 5 minutes - but I don't know whether that has actually 
taken effect properly.

Is there a way to determine what archive interval is actually being used? 
Or is there another setting to configure the data points used for the 
display graphs?

Thanks,

Robin

[Robin]

*Thank you fo your help.*

Sadly I had to clear the logger memory to get weewx talking again. 

Most of the lost data will not be missed. However, between the UPS dying 
and the power coming back on, we had 10mm of rain. I can't believe how 
upset it has made me that my 8+ years of data now is incomplete.

I have a WeatherLink live that has the missing data. Is there a way that I 
can backfill the missing period? An 'Idiots Guide' is going to be needed.

[weewx-user] Re: Problems after power cut

[Robin]

Update 

I stopped weewx
renamed the database to weewx.sdb.old
restarted weewx

Weewx started backfilling the new database with records. So I guess the 
problem is with a corrupt database. I have a backup taken 3 hours before 
the ups failed. Can I just copy this and restart?

I'm really sorry if I am asking a series of dumb questions. I'm getting old 
and was not good at this when I was young!!!

[weewx-user] Problems after power cut

[Robin]

We had a 12 hour power cut last night. The battery backup ran out and the 
RPi stopped without being shutdown.

I reconnected to a different ups about 10 hours later. Power back on about 
2 hours after this. Nodata is being collected and the web pages are not 
updating.

I stopped weewx and shut the RPI down. Restart looks normal but no change. 
Stopped/started weewx, no change.

I have put the syslog entry from the stop/restart below.

Any thoughts? Weewx has run without me touching it for a couple of years 
and I can't remember most of what I learnt to set it up!

Re: [weewx-user] Anyone else seeing Wunderground Rapid Fire down?

[Robin]

Are the Rapid Fire problems back?

My station keeps going offline. A stop/start brings it back up, but for a 
short (variable) period, minutes to an hour or so.

Everything else is running perfectly as far as I can tell, so please let it 
be WU!!!

[weewx-user] Is anybody posting to Facebook?

[Robin]

I already upload to Twitter as the uploader is on the Wiki and it was 
really easy to set up, thank you to Matthew Wall and anybody else that had 
a hand in this.

I would like to do a similar thing with Facebook. Is anybody out there 
doing anything like this? I have found lots of "how-to" stuff on Facebook 
and via Google, but they are all above my ability and understanding.

I'm currently running version 3.8.0.

Thank you, the support from the WeeWX community on here is *amazing*.

[weewx-user] Is it after sunset?

[Robin]

I have a script that runs every five minutes, grabs an image from my webcam 
and adds some text before it is uploaded to my website. I would like to 
test if it is the first grab after sunset so that I can do some extra 
'stuff' with the image.

I am getting more and more frustrated by my lack of skill, knowledge and 
diminishing brain power (not sure if it is advanced years or ouzo).

Please can somebody help.

*Thank you.*

[weewx-user] Noob question

[Robin Hunt]

Hey everyone

This is, I am sure, a noob question but I can't figure it out having RTFMd 
as best I can

I have Davis Vantage Pro 2 station via USB on a raspberry pi and am trying 
to add some battery info to index.html.tmpl on Standard skin.

If I run weewx from the command line this appears among the output: 
consBatteryVoltage: 4.83

So there does appear to be a value available

but

If I insert 
[...]
  Console battery: $current.consBatteryVoltage
[...]

into index.html.templ 

The output is literally that rather than the battery voltage. There is no 
substitution.  I have tried this with $station.consBatteryVoltage, no 
different

What prefix should I use? Is this possible?

Kind regards
Robin

[weewx-user] Weatherlink IP replacement

[Robin Hunt]

Hi

I used to use the Davis WeatherLink IP ethernet data logger which has 
broken.

I tried to buy a new one but I see it has been discontinued.

How do I connect my Davis Vantage Pro 2 to my weewx installation now? What 
hardware should I buy?

Kind regards
Robin

[weewx-user] Re: Can i grab loop data in a shell script

[Robin]

Hi Greg,

The camera is unbranded 720p resolution, from China. It cost €4.99 three 
years ago. My camera also goes offline, typically about once a day. I 
bought a relay and written a routine to switch the relay off/pause/on to 
reset the camera.

I now invested in another Chinese camera this time 1080p. This time I'm 
splashing out €19. Last of the big spenders or what!!! I now need a cool 
day to install it.

Good morning Pat,

Location /var/www/weewx/temperature.txt

The template for Cheetah generator to produce the file has a single line 

$current.outTemp.string

That's it.

[Robin]

I did think about running the script after weewx updates, but the ease of 
saving the image to the web page folder so it gets uploaded using rsync was 
too appealing.

I am not a programmer and my Linux knowledge is at the 'just enough to 
survive' (most of the time) level.

I have had a look at the wiki and now realise that this is way beyond my 
current skill level.

Thank you, Gary and RobbH for your tips. I have a lot of learning to do 
before I can take this on.

[weewx-user] Can i grab loop data in a shell script

[Robin]

Is it possible to get the current temperature to use in a shell script?

Let me explain what I am doing and what I would like to do.

I have a webcam. I use a shell script every five minutes to: 

   1. grab an image with avconv
   2. add text, including 'current' temperature (from a txt file generated 
   using cheetah generator) and the time.
   3. save the image so that rsync uploads it to my website with the other 
   files.

You can see the result here  

My problem is the txt file is 5 minutes old. There is normally small or no 
difference between 'current' and 5-minute old data. BUT, there are times 
when the difference is significant and I would like to "do better"!

I really am not good at this stuff, I meddle and poke until I get things 
sorted or I break something, normally the latter. So I was hoping that 
somebody could advise me.

Can I use in my script to get loop data so the temperature will be correct 
at the time of the grab?

Thanks, people.

Gary,

Thank you for the search list extension. It is very useful. 

I'm sorry to be a pest, I have one more question. I have been trying to see 
if I can exclude the current year so that I get only historic records. I 
have looked at the code to try and understand how it all works, but that 
simply reminds me that I don't understand code.

Is there a way to exclude the current year?

Thank you again.

[weewx-user] On this date

[Robin]

I apologise if this has been asked before or if there is a simple and 
obvious way to do this, but I can't see it.

I want to display the temperature (min,max) for today's date for each year 
since we started keeping records.

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks people.

[weewx-user] Re: rainRate

[Robin]

OH!

Andrew, please be a naughty boy. Say something!

I think I can filter out the 'nonsense' in the template. I would, however, 
like to try and understand the wisdom (or folly) behind alternative methods.

Thank you, Gary, for your input. 

FYI, the 'nonsense' didn't stay on screen for long. We had 23 mm of rain in 
50 minutes. If anybody has a set of plans for an ark, I might be interested!

[weewx-user] rainRate

[Robin]

I have noticed on the last few occasions that following a single bucket tip 
the rain shows 0.2 mm but the rain rate shows 0.0 mm/hr.

This seems to be a bit of a nonsense as clearly 0.2 mm has fallen in the 
last hour. I have read other threads and understand the need to measure 
time between tips, but can't this 'error' be trapped?

My kit:
Davis VantagePro2
Raspberry Pi
Weewx v3.8.0

[weewx-user] Re: $station.uptime

[Robin]

Andrew,

I'm going to sit in the 'stupid' corner for a while!

A fresh install is going to take courage. I have a lot of bits and bobs 
that I have added in, some of which I can only just remember! My knowledge 
and skill level give me major worries that I won't get everything back 
together again.

I think I need to start with building a list of my added 'stuff' and then 
making a plan to get it all back into a new install.

I already have a headache.

Andrew,

Correct, I am running Wheezy.

Please stop trying to solve this (for now).

I decided to update to 3.8 and all hell has broken loose. Typically I 
ignored all the good advice to backup the SD card. Now pulling my hair out 
(not much left to work with).

Gone back to old conf file and made a couple of hacks to get it running.

Robin

3.6.1 was working fine - *if <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/if#English> it

OK the page is now updating (not the images, I'm only interested in the

It still shows

Hi Gary,

I don't think it is the template or skin config as I also have a Bootstrap 
skin running.

http://www.weather.molyvos.eu/Bootstrap/index.html

Since I did a Weewx stop/start it now shows 

Weewx uptime: 0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes
Server uptime: 0 days, 0 hours, 6 minutes

[weewx-user] Alexa Flash Briefing Skill

[Robin]

I got really upset when I found that Alexa knew NOTHING about the village 
where I live.

So I have set up an Alexa Skill all of my very own. It's a flash briefing 
skill that adds a *Molyvos Weather Nowcast *to my flash briefing. I don't 
even need to get out of bed, Alexa just reads me the latest update. It's 
got a limited data set at the moment but I'm already well into an expanded 
version to include lots more data, possibly even a small forecast.

[weewx-user] Re: degree symbol not showing?

[Robin]

Hi Jim,

I had the same problem. I solved it by creating a template with a single 
line
 

$current.outTemp.string


Then adding

   [[[Temperature]]]
  encoding = utf8
  template = temperature.txt.tmpl

to the standard skin.conf file.

I can now read the text file and add it to my webcam capture as seen here

[weewx-user] Re: Current wisdom on the end of DST

[Robin]

I had set set record_generation=software

I woke just before 6:30 and checked the log. I found

Oct 30 06:25:17 PWS weewx[3876]: manager: unable to add record 2016-10-30 
06:25:00 EET (1477801500) to database 'weewx.sdb': PRIMARY KEY must be 
unique

and

Oct 30 06:30:16 PWS weewx[3876]: manager: unable to add record 2016-10-30 
06:30:00 EET (1477801800) to database 'weewx.sdb': PRIMARY KEY must be 
unique
 

But then:

Oct 30 06:35:16 PWS weewx[3876]: manager: added record 2016-10-30 06:35:00 
EET (1477802100) to database 'weewx.sdb'
Oct 30 06:35:16 PWS weewx[3876]: manager: added record 2016-10-30 06:35:00 
EET (1477802100) to daily summary in 'weewx.sdb'

All records saved OK from this point. I have now switched back to hardware 
generation without any problems.

Tom,

OK. I've set record_generation=software.

I'll let you know in the morning how things went.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Current wisdom on the end of DST

Tom,

This just compounds my confusion. How does WeeWX get from Davis local time 
to UTC? Can't WeeWX take DST into account during the conversion?

That bit I understand Tom. The bit that confuses me is, I thought that 
WeeWX stored the data using UTC.

[weewx-user] Re: Current wisdom on the end of DST

[Robin]

I have a Davis Vantage Pro 2.

As pointed out in the link you posted, the issue is the time stamp. Last 
year I seem to recall an hours worth of errors as WeeWX tried to write 
records to a time stamp that already existed and therefore 'lost' the data. 
I like an easy life so was hoping that somebody had figured out a way to 
avoid this lost data. It might be insignificant, but if we get a major 
weather event at that time

To be honest I still get a headache trying to understand the local time/UTC 
problem, but I am easily confused.

[weewx-user] Re: Niculskin with response design, bootstrap style and history template released

[Robin]

Andrew,

Could you tell me how you set up skin.conf to get the 'Days when rain fell' 
table? I have been thinking about adding 'Dry Days' which is not so far 
from your table. 

I have also been collecting the number of hours of sunshine each day and 
have been pondering a 'Bootstrap' table for 'Average Daily Sunshine' but I 
couldn't get my head around it. For now I make the calculations and update 
the table manually. Any help with this would also be appreciated. I am 
happy to provide free beer (Fix, Vergina, Mythos, Alpha or Amstel) but you 
will need to collect in person).

Regards
Robin

[weewx-user] Tweet using dot code format and conditional statements

[Robin]

I had started to tweet from my weather station and wanted to format my 
tweets and use conditional statements. Using the uploader on the wiki, I 
could not figure out how I could do any of these.

 

I had already set up the app credentials and twython was installed. A 
little reading through twython docs gave me an idea.

 

I wrote a simple text template to give the data I wanted (including 
conditional statements to tailor my tweets to the conditions) and then 
wrote a script to use twython to post my text file. Add a cronjob and 
voila, I get a tweet every hour on the hour with the exact formatting that 
I wanted using the familiar dot code system. I have attached a 'grab' so 
you can see the result.

 

The big plus is that I realised that I can also tweet  "Good morning" tweet 
with an image from my webcam. RESULT

 

Thank you to all that contribute to this user group for the inspiration to 
continue learning.

 

Regards

Robin

 

I've also attached my script if anyone is interested.

[weewx-user] Twitter uploader - degree symbol and line feed

[Robin]

I have the Twitter uploader working, thank you to everyone that had a part

I would like to use the degree symbol. Is this possible?

Twitter has supported line feeds since 2013. Is it possible to add a line 
feed in the uploader 'format' line?

Brilliant, thank you.

Two questions:

   1. Has anyone got the degree symbol working (and how)?
   2. Can I use a line break (and how)?

OK so perhaps that is actually 4 questions.

Re: [weewx-user] Can I use sFTP PLEASE!

[Robin]

Tom,

Thank you again for quick concise and correct answers.

I have never used ssh other than to talk to my Raspberry Pi with PuTTY. I 
sought a little help from my host, but they ran me round the houses with 
info on ssh. Eventually I gave up on them and found

https://support.suso.com/supki/SSH_Tutorial_for_Linux

It is so simple compared to the rubbish from my host.

Now all up and running using RSYNC many, many times faster than ftp. Don't 
know why I ever thought ftp was a good idea

Just when everything is running smoothly . . . . . 

Sadly, they don't support ftps on their linux servers. I'm on a linux 
server.

They have said that they will block port 21 at the end of the year.

Hm.

I'm stretching my linux here, but can I sftp the files using crontab & a 
script?

I would just like to say "thank you Tom". Your advice here is more timely, 
more succinct and more helpful than my host. Would you like to sort them 
out for me?

[weewx-user] Can I use sFTP PLEASE!

[Robin]

My internet host is updating system and security software and are moving 
away from ftp. So far they have simply managed to give me an intermittent 
connection refusal but they plan to refuse port 21 connections totally at 
some point in the not too distant future.

Is there a way I can get WeeWX using sFTP?

Sorry to say that I am still at the novice stage so an extension with 
installer would be very, very nice (to the extent that free beer and 
nibbles at my house to anyone that can provide it).

I am willing to give any other ideas a try but I'd rather be providing free 
beer!!!

I have spoken to the service provider and they assure me that there are no 
problems at their end.

It can't be a settings issue as it sometimes works.

Any thoughts regarding cause and solution.

Robin

Steve,

I have looked at this, but the price is (for me) prohibitive.

I decided it was best not to play with the database. 'sqlite' will be on my 
list as soon as the python course is completed and my brain cools down.

I was after the current temperature to add text with ImageMagick to my 
webcam grabs. After a little thought I decided not to risk trashing my db 
so added a skin to output the required text. This is very simple, so well 
within my capabilities.

I'm now one happy bunny. One new skin and a quick mod to a script and my 
$14 Chinese webcam is doing just what I wanted.

[weewx-user] Re: Get last recorded temperature from sqlite database

[Robin]

Thank you Andrew.

Sorry to be particularly slow on the uptake, but what exactly do I type at 
the command line?

WeeWX tells me it's now 34°C. Too hot to think!

[weewx-user] Get last recorded temperature from sqlite database

[Robin]

Please can somebody tell me how do I get the current (last recorded) 
temperature from the database using the command line?

More apologies for another simple question but in my defence,

   - This mornings homework:
  - ελληνικό λεξιλόγιο (Greek vocabulary)
  - Lesson 3, edX Python course (Functions and Recursion)
   
 it is currently 31°C plus and my brain is overheating!

[weewx-user] Re: Instromet Sunshine Sensor

[Robin]

Thank you Susan, the voltage divider I understand.

Now I get into territory that I have not a clue about! I can manage English 
(most of the time) and a little Greek (some of the time) but code comes in 
at none of the time!!!

Can anyone help me here.


   - I need to record (at short intervals) if there is a voltage present 
   via GPIO (the sun is casting a shadow).
   - at each archive interval I need to write the data to the database and 
   reset the record to zero, then start over again.

I hope that there is some kind soul out there with the time, skill and 
interest to help me. If I can get this sorted with a dummy sensor I will 
buy the Instromet Sunshine Sensor and report back.

Measuring the hours of sunshine has been a 'bee in my bonnet' for a while 
and I currently estimate this from solar radiation. The Instromat sensor 
seems to be a much more precise tool. I would love to have this working and 
compare it to my estimated method.

Thanks for reading this far.
Regards
Robin

[weewx-user] Instromet Sunshine Sensor

[Robin]

Sorry for the simple questions, but I need some basic help.

I am interested in the Instromet Sunshine Sensor which detects if the sun 
is shinning (or not).

http://www.instromet.co.uk/sunsensor.html

The stand alone unit outputs a 5 volt signal when the sun is shinning and 0 
volts when it is not. I'm currently running on a Raspberry Pi with a 
Vantage Pro 2.

Can I monitor this output directly using the GPIO or do I need an add on?
