[weewx-user] Re: Davis Vantage Pro 2 no cloudbase reading

2020-06-29 Thread gjr80 
Hmm, can’t explain why it worked before. cloudbase was added to 
[[Calculations]] later than the other obs, so that suggests upgrading of an 
earlier version could be the cause. But that does not explain it working 
previously. 

Second seemingly unexplained config change to come up today.

First off, thanks cause that worked :-) 
I do keep a copy of all my weewx.conf in svn and my Calculations section 
had not changed, which is odd...
This is what I had before adding the line you suggested:

Ok, here is the clue:

Jun 29 17:53:49 raspberrypi weewx[25051] INFO weewx.wxservices: The following 
values will be calculated: pressure=prefer_hardware, barometer=prefer_hardware, 
altimeter=prefer_hardware, windchill=prefer_hardware, 
heatindex=prefer_hardware, dewpoint=prefer_hardware, 
inDewpoint=prefer_hardware, rainRate=prefer_hardware

StdWXCalculate is not set to calculate cloudbase for some reason (cloudbase is 
usually calculated by WeeWX not the station/driver). Have a look at 
[StdWXCalculate] [[Calculations]] in weewx.conf, is there any entry for 
cloudbase? If not add one, something like:

cloudbase = prefer_hardware

Save weewx.conf and restart WeeWX (probably easiest to check at first by 
running WeeWX directly). If a cloudbase entry does exist please post a copy of 
your [Calculations] stanza.
