Re: [weewx-user] Weewx + Vantage .. Historical data from VP2?

[Thomas Keffer]

Unfortunately, no.

I suppose one could write a driver extension to extract the highs and lows
from the console, then use them for reporting purposes. But, that's a
completely different architecture from weewx, which uses the database to
calculate highs and lows. But, if you're good with Python, it would be
doable.

 Weewx looks in your database for the last timestamp, then downloads
 everything from the Vantage after that time. So, your last data record must
 be just before 2017-03-19 17:30:00.

 If you want to get everything, you could try using the wee_device
 utility with the --dump
 
 command
 .
 This will dump *everything*, including data you already have, so
 expect a lot of "duplicate key" warnings in the log.

Re: [weewx-user] Weewx + Vantage .. Historical data from VP2?

[walther . sebastian]

Apparently what I wrote as a bit missleading.

Tom & Andrew, you are totally right. I was talking about the records for 
high/low of the days/month and years in the console memory. Somehow I 
thought that weewx will get ahold of it and incorporate it into the reports.

Tom: The logger contains 1MB of memory, your assumptions are correct.

I assume there is no way of downloading that high/low data from the console 
to use it somehow?

 Hi everybody!

 I just finished installing and configuring weewx on a RPi3 with my 
 Davis Vantage Pro2. It's connected with a serial to usb logger, including 
 it's own memory. (belfryboy rebuild)

 The connection is working fine, weewx downloads the current conditions 
 from the VP2 with an archive_intervall of 180 sec.

 The question is.. how/when will weewx download the 3+ years of archived 
 weather data which my VP2 has stored in its internal memory? 
 I thought that might happen automatically that it tries to fetch more 
 and more historic data but it won't. The log clearly states:

 Mar 19 17:57:06 wetterpi weewx[23420]: vantage: Getting archive packets 
 since 2017-03-19 17:30:00 CET (1489941000)

 What about the stuff before that timestamp? Is there a manual way of 
 downloading it into the weewx DB?

 Thanks!
 Sebastian

Re: [weewx-user] Weewx + Vantage .. Historical data from VP2?

[Andrew Milner]

I didn't think there was a memory on the vp2 console itself - just high low 
values for day, month and year - and to have more retained you needed a 
weatherlink logger or similar.

Am I wrong?  What data do you actually have within the console itself 
rather than in the logger?

Maybe I'm not understanding correctly!!

Re: [weewx-user] Weewx + Vantage .. Historical data from VP2?

[Thomas Keffer]

I'm not sure what you are referring to. The console has some memory for
odds and ends like the graph on its screen, highs and lows, etc., but it
does not store data records. Only the logger does that.

A standard Davis logger holds 2560 records. For a 5 minute archive
interval, that's just short of 9 days worth of data --- nowhere near 3
years.

I have no idea how much memory is in your belfryboy logger, but I assume
it's something similar.

Re: [weewx-user] Weewx + Vantage .. Historical data from VP2?

[walther . sebastian]

Hi Tom,

thanks for your reply.

I tried your suggestion with the wee_device --dump command (after backing 
up the sql db)
It seems that the tool dumped all records out of the logger memory, which 
go back until yesterday 16:30 but it does not get ahold of the data stored 
in the VP2 console memory.
So I'm seeting here with the 35 records in my sql db I have had anyway 
since yesterday.

Any chance to get weewx download the stuff right out of the console memory 
instead of the data logger memory?

Sebastian

[weewx-user] Weewx + Vantage .. Historical data from VP2?

[walther . sebastian]

Hi everybody!

I just finished installing and configuring weewx on a RPi3 with my Davis 
Vantage Pro2. It's connected with a serial to usb logger, including it's 
own memory. (belfryboy rebuild)

The connection is working fine, weewx downloads the current conditions from 
the VP2 with an archive_intervall of 180 sec.

The question is.. how/when will weewx download the 3+ years of archived 
weather data which my VP2 has stored in its internal memory? 
I thought that might happen automatically that it tries to fetch more and 
more historic data but it won't. The log clearly states:

Mar 19 17:57:06 wetterpi weewx[23420]: vantage: Getting archive packets 
since 2017-03-19 17:30:00 CET (1489941000)

What about the stuff before that timestamp? Is there a manual way of 
downloading it into the weewx DB?

Thanks!
Sebastian
