Re: [weewx-user] Re: Converting data from HW that is in metric to display in US

2020-08-14 Thread Tom Keffer 
Glad to hear that it worked out, but could you give us more details about
how you "tweaked the driver"?

The WeatherFlow driver is an area of great interest right now. If there is
a problem with it, we would like to know.

Yep. He was right. I have no idea what he was talking about.
I come from an engineering background and the best thing that happened was 
going metric. So much easier.
Anyway if he is building a boat he should be using cubits.hahaha, oh

2020-08-08 Thread Tom Keffer 
Randy, help us to help you.

1. Please run weewxd directly, and tell me exactly what you see. It's not
enough to hear that there is "nothing weird."

2. Now that you no longer have weather34 running, show us a clean log. Stop
weewxd, make sure debug=1, restart weewx, post through the first report
cycle. See *Help! Posting to weewx-user
* for
details on how to get a good log.

2020-08-08 Thread Randy 
I wiped weewx and reinstalled from scratch (using apt-get install weewx).  
Then installed the driver.  Did not install weather34.  Changed the 
settings for sensor map to include the unit SN (although I have not seen 
any docs on this).

Still seeing the same issue where the units in the DB are metric and the UI 
shows the metric data as F?

Thanks
Randy

2020-08-07 Thread J D 
To disable weather34 webservices you can do either of the following

In weewx.conf
set filename to nothing in the following section
[Weather34WebServices]
filename = 

OR

In the weather34 directory edit file settings1.php
 set $services to nothing
$services = ;

restart weewx

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Converting data from HW that is in metric to display in US

2020-08-07 Thread Tom Keffer 
In addition to Glenn's suggestions, you also have a sensor_map problem for
your WeatherFlow instrument. You're using the serial number that was given
as an example in the driver's documentation, instead of your own serial
number. Normally, that would result in no LOOP packets getting emitted.

I'm surprised you're seeing anything. So, again, please clarify what you
mean by "nothing weird."

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Converting data from HW that is in metric to display in US

2020-08-07 Thread Glenn McKechnie 
@Randy, (and later @Tom) and anyone else with input !

Nothing to do with your units problem, but that weather34 error is
possibly why you have no data coming in. The cluttered log shows you
have 2 weewx processes running.

One - PID  [1963] is caught up trying to get weather34 running (which
fails with a "Bad Request')

The others [3753] and then the last one at PID [4352] - try to run and
are then blocked
with a "OSError: [Errno 98] Address already in use"  and I'd suspect
that's because  weewx [1963] is holding it open

Can't help you with any of your main problem, but I'd suggest fixing,
or better yet just move weather34 out of the way so that it is not
interfering with the main engine,

Kill all weewxd instances. To find them...

 ps aux | grep [w]eewxd

 kill -9 1963

 kill -9 

Disable the weather34 skin (Probably under [StdReport][[weather34]] ?)

@Tom,
I'm using my full quotient of brain cells on this log, but it appears
that when weewx does a forced restart, it does so without killing PID
[1963] which appears to be started by systemd at 07:14:28

Should this be dealt with by weewx on the forced restart?

Points of interest, from the syslog

What do you mean by "nothing weird?" That packets and records were in the
METRICWX system (usUnits=17) and the values were consistent with metric
units?

Maybe just go metric. :-)
There are only 3 countries officially not metric in the world.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Converting data from HW that is in metric to display in US

2020-08-06 Thread Tom Keffer 
Assuming you have not made any modifications, here are some things to try

1. Run weewxd directly
 from the command
line. It will print out LOOP packets and archive records. What unit system
do they use? Do the values make sense?

2. If that doesn't help, double check your copy of weewx.conf. What is the
value for target_unit.?

3. Instead of guessing what's in your database, see what is actually in it.
Here are a couple of queries to try. This assumes your database is at
/var/lib/weewx/weewx.sdb

$ *sqlite3 /var/lib/weewx/weewx.sdb*
# Make sure there aren't mixed units in the database:
sqlite> *select min(usUnits), max(usUnits);*
# Print out the last 20 records:
sqlite> *select datetime(dateTime, 'unixepoch', 'localtime'), outTemp,
usUnits from archive order by dateTime desc limit 20;*

Do these values look reasonable?

4. Finally, when all else fails, send the log
!

2020-08-06 Thread Randy 
I can change the unit in the skin without issue.  I guess the problem is 
that it appears the data in the database (which is set to US) is actually 
metric data.  So when I change the units in the skin, the data is 
displayed.  For example, the default skin for weewx shows my temp as: 
30.4°F. When that temp is actually 30.4 C.  Maybe I should go set the DB to 
Metric (which I saw info on and the info indicated this was challenging).  
Or maybe a clean reinstall.

[weewx-user] Re: Converting data from HW that is in metric to display in US

2020-08-05 Thread gjr80 
Hi,

A couple of WeeWX basics might help. You may well find that different units 
are used by different parts of WeeWX depending on a number of things. The 
driver used to obtain data from your station may use metric or US customary 
units, this is dependent on your station and/or the driver. Once in WeeWX 
the data will be converted (if necessary) to the units used within your 
WeeWX database, this could be one of the Metric based unit systems 
supported by WeeWX or it could be US customary. The default is US customary 
and this is where the StdConvert service comes into play, StdConvert 
converts the data from the driver from whatever units the driver used to 
whatever units your database uses. Then you have the reporting system, the 
reporting system uses the Cheetah template engine and a system of tags that 
can be used to specify, among other things, the units for a given 
observation/metric you are displaying. Again there is a default and when 
you installed WeeWX you should have been asked what display units to use, 
eg:

Indicate the preferred units for display: ['us', 'metric']
units [metric]: 

Your answer here would have been used to set the defaults. So there are 
three broad areas where data exists within WeeWX and it is quite possible 
that each could be different, at the end of the day whether the data from 
station to WeeWX or within the WeeWX database is stored in US, metric or 
Martian units is mostly irrelevant, what most people are concerned with are 
what units are displayed on screen.

If you are using the skins packaged with WeeWX (Standard or Seasons) then 
you can alter the displayed units by changing config settings in weewx.conf, 
these settings will likely have been set at install but can easily be 
changed. You should find all you need in the How to change units section 
 in the 
Customization Guide. If you are using some other skin then it is possible 
they follow a similar system or they could do things in their manner. Best 
to seek guidance from the skin author/maintainer.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Converting data from HW that is in metric to display in US

2020-08-05 Thread John Kline 
See bin/weewx/engine.py:

class StdConvert(StdService):
"""Service for performing unit conversions.
This service acts as a filter. Whatever packets and records come in are
converted to a target unit system.  

This service should be run before most of the others, so observations appear
in the correct unit."""

Also, see docs/devnotes.htm:

The general strategy is that measurements are converted by service StdConvert 
as they come off the weather station into a target unit system, then stored 
internally in the database in that unit system. Then, as they come off the 
database to be used for a report, they are converted into a target unit, 
specified by the skin.

2020-08-05 Thread Randy 
If the DB settings are set to us and the data from the HW is coming in as 
metric, where is the conversion supposed to occur?

I found that in weewx.conf that the section:
[StdConvert]
is set to US
