[weewx-user] A station map question
My station is registered and shows up on the map as expected.When I access the map and select my station is reports back with a variety of URL's. I believe this is because during the installation, setup and tuning of WeeWX I used multiple URL's (my bad). My question is: Does the station map purge the old/out dated URL's? If not, how does this get corrected? BTW, my published URL is now fixed and won't change. Wayne -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.

I had previously looked through the customization guide but failed to realize the usefulness of the information.After working through this practical exercise, I revisited the customization guide and a light bulb came on!I now have a much better understanding of the weewx customization innerworkings. Perhaps this exercise will help others that are struggling with system customization.

[weewx-user] How do I change the number of displayed decimal places?
Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to change the displayed decimal places of an observation. I have searched the WeeWX setup and user guides, I have also stepped through my weewx.conf file but can't seem to find out how this is done. I have attached a screen shot showing my current display. I would like to trim off (4) digits from both Brightness and Battery. I am new to this group so please let me know if I need to supply more or different information. windBatteryStatus = Battery luminosity (luxXXX) = Brightness Here is my PWS configuration: - WeatherFlow Tempest - WeeWX Ver 4.10.2 - Belchertown Skin Ver. 1.3 - Pi4 Thanks, Wayne [image: display.JPG] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.

[weewx-user] Re: Belchertown and Tempest battery voltage
Dan,
I have a Tempest and the Belchertown skin.
All I did to get to display battery voltage was place the "windBatteryStatus"
variable in the station observations string. I also added "luminosity" to
the string. To use luminosity (Brightness) you will need to change the
sensor map title from luxXX to luminosity. I included both the Station
Observation string and my sensor map for your reference. Btw, you can also
change the sensor titles in the weewx.conf file.
