Yes, a new db needs to be created. You could also configure a second db 
manually, let WeeWX populate the schema and then transfer all data using 
wee_database 
--transfer
But the effort is mostly the same either way, so it's easier to just follow 
the documentation.

Re: [weewx-user] Problem with extension install (SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character)

[Christian Gruber]

hello,

put my RPI now to the same subnet, and i get data.

i also switched schema in weewx.conf to user.weatherlink_live.schema and 
restarted the service

do i have to create a new database then, like its written 
here http://www.weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#archive_database 
or is this not necessary?

regards,
chris

Re: [weewx-user] Problem with extension install (SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character)

[mbat...@gmail.com]

UDP broadcasts are not routed between subnets, so unless your weewx host 
has a presence on the weatherlink hub's net, it won't "hear" the hub.

There are a couple of ways (besides "multi-homing" the weewx box) to deal 
with the problem. Ass u me ing your home firewall / router is a Linux box, 
and that you have administrative control of it, one solution is to install 
a UDP replicator (such as this one 
) on your home router.  
Another method (same assumptions) is to use port forwarding, which is 
described here

Yes, to receive the live 2.5 second push updates (wind, rain) both devices 
must be on the same subnet. They work using UDP broadcasts. The "complete" 
data set (HTTP) doesn't technically require it, though I haven't tested 
whether the driver works fine if it never receives a push update (it 
should).


why should i switch to WLL schema, i loose specific data, when i dont do it?

The following columns are added in the WLL schema:

   - dewpoint and heatindex for up to 9 sensors (default only for 2)
   - wetbulb temperature
   - THW and THSW index ("feels like" temperature)
   - indoor heatindex 
   - "rainCount": how often your rain sensor's spoon got tripped since the

   - "rainCountRate": the current rate of spoon tripping
   - "rainSize": the size of the rain sensor spoon *in inches *(as

Additionally, daily summaries and units are configured for all new columns

hello,

thank you, i reinstalled it and it's running now :)

i have a few additional questions:

-) should the pi and weatherlink live be on the same subnetwork, because i 
dont get data

-) why should i switch to WLL schema, i loose specific data, when i dont do 
it?

 As far as I can see, you are using Python 2 or this problem occurs only 
 with this version.
 However, the plugin is unfortunately only compatible with Python 3, as 
 it also uses some other Py 3-only features.

Re: [weewx-user] Problem with extension install (SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character)

[Tom Keffer]

You do not need to uninstall weewx first.

Just follow the install instructions, but use the python3 version instead:


*wget -qO - https://weewx.com/apt/weewx-
python3.list | sudo tee
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list*


*sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install weewx*

Re: [weewx-user] Problem with extension install (SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character)

[Michael Schantl]

Hi Chris,

I guess you followed the documentation for installing on a Pi?
http://www.weewx.com/docs/debian.htm

In that case first uninstall WeeWX {should keep configuration}:

   sudo apt remove weewx

Also keep in mind that the WLL driver uses the Python *requests* library. 
Install it using:

   sudo apt install python3-requests

Then re-install according to the page linked above. In the first section 
only run the command that's labeled "*For Debian10 and later, use python3*". 
Skip the following line for Python 2.
Follow all other sections as usual.

 The problem is that the extension author used the copyright character 
 ('©') in the first line of the code for install.py, which is a non-ascii 
 character. In Python 2.x, the default encoding of source code is ascii. If 
 non-ascii characters are going to be used, then the encoding must be 
 declared, which the author did not do. In Python 3.x, the default encoding 
 is utf-8, so the copyright character will work.

 The fix is to either remove the character, or switch to Python 3.x. Or, 
 contact the author.

Re: [weewx-user] Problem with extension install (SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character)

[Michael Schantl]

As far as I can see, you are using Python 2 or this problem occurs only 
with this version.
However, the plugin is unfortunately only compatible with Python 3, as it 
also uses some other Py 3-only features.

Michael

Re: [weewx-user] Problem with extension install (SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character)

[Tom Keffer]

The problem is that the extension author used the copyright character ('©')
in the first line of the code for install.py, which is a non-ascii
character. In Python 2.x, the default encoding of source code is ascii. If
non-ascii characters are going to be used, then the encoding must be
declared, which the author did not do. In Python 3.x, the default encoding
is utf-8, so the copyright character will work.

The fix is to either remove the character, or switch to Python 3.x. Or,
contact the author.
