Re: [weewx-user] spurious gaps within weather data - wh23xx on raspberry pi 3
My watchdog is a very simple minded one - it regularly (once per minute using cron) searches /var/log/messages for USB messages. If it detects some the raspi will be automatically rebooted. Sadly currently I've no access to my scripts - drop me a note if you still need it. Then I'll look into that ... To be honest I do not know why my USB problems were solved. But besides updating involved software versions, I also started new services (e.g. Kodi), added an USB diskdrive, and a USB rs232 interface. For that I changed the USB ports (to avoid cable cluttering:-). Maybe your problem is simply solved by using another USB port? Or improving contacts by unplug/plugging?

Re: [weewx-user] spurious gaps within weather data - wh23xx on raspberry pi 3
I'm also running buster and yet I have those strange USB problems. The watchdog sounds like the perfect solution for me (until I'm able to solve the problem otherwise). I know where to find and how to activate it. Could you give me some details on how to identify the proper USB port and then monitor it? I suppose I need to tell the watchdog to monitor a certain "file = ...". But which file? I'm still a "learner"... Cheers Holger miwa...@googlemail.com schrieb am Dienstag, 9.

Re: [weewx-user] spurious gaps within weather data - wh23xx on raspberry pi 3
In the meantime all my problems seem to be resolved - probabely due to recent software updates: 1. No longer any USB problem after upgrading to recent raspbian (buster 5.4.72-v7+). Previously, I encountered USB problems after some weeks. To detect them I wrote a simple watchdog and rebooted my raspberry automatically. After reboot USB always did recover. Additionally I did a reboot once per day. Now these problems are gone, and my raspberry is up since 38 days (the day when I did the upgrade onto buster). 2. I've updated to weewx 4.x based with python 3. Beware, to use python 3 you have to use ANOTHER repository (see the corresponding weewx documentation). If you don't switch the repository you will stay with python 2. AND you must use special releases of the wh23xx driver (NOT the official one, it's still at pyhton 2 as far as I know) and for forecast. Concluding: After all these changes all my problems with that kind of weather station are gone. Maybe one exception: If there is very heavy rain, the base station will loose its contact with the sensor array despite the short distance (only some meters). But of course that's not a weewx problem. I even use the same raspberry to run FHEM smart home and kodi multimedia. holger...@gmail.com schrieb am Montag, 8.

Re: [weewx-user] spurious gaps within weather data - wh23xx on raspberry pi 3
Now I have tried two things: 1. I have moved the sensor array from balcony into the garden. Now there are no longer gaps in the data. 2. I have tried to use the power supply for my raspberry to also feed the base station. This worked for half a day - but in the early morning USB connection between base station and Raspy died completely. Thus I conclude that either my power supply is too weak, or there are some spikes on the power net which might have disturbed the base station. But only the USB connection has died, the weather station itself worked smoothly including logging of data. Thus I have withdrawn my idea to use the power supply for the base station, too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.

Re: [weewx-user] spurious gaps within weather data - wh23xx on raspberry pi 3
In the meantime I'm quite convinced that my problem is power supply of my sensor array or radio transmissionproblems. If I replace the batteries my problem is immedeately resolved, but only for a limited amount of time (some days or some hours). Within the next weeks I'll proceed to experiment a little bit with different positions of sensor array and weather station. And I will connect my Raspy's USB power supply with the power inlet of my weather station. If all that won't help I will install a power supply for my outdoor sensor array. One thing I've seen: If reception is starting to become bad, first the UV data is missing. But there is still something puzzling me: Just yesterday in the afternoon the reception was quite worse with long interruption of some hours. Temperature went down during the night below 0°C, and I have expected missing data in the morning. But - to my surprise - after my automatic reboot of my Raspy at midnight, all data arrived without interruption (despite lower temperature). Am Sonntag, 11.

One bit of advice: Do not assume that you only have one problem. You might have multiple ones, and that makes debugging much harder. If you had problems after installing the forecast plugin, then uninstall it and try for a while.

[weewx-user] spurious gaps within weather data - wh23xx on raspberry pi 3
I'm a new user to weewx running on a raspberry pi 3 connected to the weatherstation Renkforce WH2300. And I have some spurious problems where I need some help: Raspberry pi 3, 16GB sdcard, network connection via wifi, 2A power supply for raspberry pi, batteries within weatherstation (BTW I believe that USB connection will power weatherstation, too) cat /etc/issue --> Raspbian GNU/Linux 9, uname -a --> Linux IMURR9 4.9.59-v7+ #1047 SMP Sun Oct 29 12:19:23 GMT 2017 armv7l I gradually added functionality to weewx in the following sequence - base installation weewx 3.8.0 + wh23xx driver 0.14 - nginx Web server on the same pi - upload towards wunderground - German Sofaskin_1.1_DE, partly tweaked to match my preferences - forecast plugin 3.2.19 - pyephem 3.7.6.0 - reboot once per day at around midnight Everything worked smooth but some problems started after installing the forecast plugin. Randomly for a short timespan data from the sensor array was missing. The amount of missing data continuously increased from day to day. Thus I assumed bad batteries within the sensor array are the problem (it worked without any problem for about 2 weeks even for outside temperature ~ -10°C). First I tried a reset/resync of my weatherstation. Afterwards it worked for 1..2 days, then the gaps increased again (in the meantime outside temperature was at +5°C or above). Yesterday the connection to the sensor array was more or less completely broken. Thus I replaced the orginal rechargeable batteries by standard alkaline batteries - immedeately the connection worked smooth again. Thus: All problems solved (but why do I post that at all)? No, during last night again (one small) gap appeared within the data despite new batteries. Ok, then I inspected the logfiles from weewx to search for potential reasons. I have no real clue about the cause of my problem since there are some different kinds of errors: 2..3 times per day Mär 11 00:02:15 IMURR9 kernel: usb 1-1.3: reset full-speed USB device number 4 using dwc_otg during boot: I wonder that there were never ids be printed from "Found device ..." - but the USB connection always works: Mär 11 07:43:13 IMURR9 weewx[3157]: wh23xx: driver version is 0.14 Mär 11 07:43:13 IMURR9 weewx[3157]: wh23xx: usb info: pyusb_version=1.0.0 Mär 11 07:43:13 IMURR9 weewx[3157]: wh23xx: poll interval is 15 Mär 11 07:43:13 IMURR9 weewx[3157]: wh23xx: Found device on USB bus= device= Mär 11 07:43:13 IMURR9 kernel: usb 1-1.3: reset full-speed USB device number 4 using dwc_otg Mär 11 07:43:13 IMURR9 weewx[3157]: engine: StdConvert target unit is 0x1 Mär 11 07:43:13 IMURR9 weewx[3157]: wxcalculate: The following values will be calculated: barometer=prefer_hardware, windchill=prefer_hardware, dewpoint=prefer_hardware, appTemp=prefer_hardware, rainRate=prefer_hardware, windrun=prefer_hardware, heatindex=prefer_hardware Mär 11 07:43:13 IMURR9 weewx[3157]: wxcalculate: The following algorithms will be used for calculations: altimeter=aaNOAA, maxSolarRad=RS Mär 11 07:43:13 IMURR9 weewx[3157]: engine: Archive will use data binding wx_binding Mär 11 07:43:13 IMURR9 weewx[3157]: engine: Record generation will be attempted in 'hardware' Mär 11 07:43:13 IMURR9 weewx[3157]: engine: Using archive interval of 300 seconds (specified in weewx configuration) Mär 11 07:43:13 IMURR9 weewx[3157]: engine: Using binding 'wx_binding' to database 'weewx.sdb' Mär 11 07:43:13 IMURR9 weewx[3157]: manager: Starting backfill of daily summaries sometimes per day Mär 11 08:17:23 IMURR9 weewx[3157]: wh23xx: get_current: failed attempt 1 of 5: [Errno 110] Operation timed out Mär 11 08:17:50 IMURR9 weewx[3157]: wh23xx: get_current: failed attempt 1 of 5: [Errno 110] Operation timed out Mär 11 08:18:16 IMURR9 weewx[3157]: wh23xx: get_current: failed attempt 1 of 5: [Errno 110] Operation timed out Mär 11 08:18:43 IMURR9 weewx[3157]: wh23xx: get_current: failed attempt 1 of 5: [Errno 110] Operation timed out Mär 11 08:19:10 IMURR9 weewx[3157]: wh23xx: get_current: failed attempt 1 of 5: [Errno 110] Operation timed out Mär 11 08:19:36 IMURR9 weewx[3157]: wh23xx: get_current: failed attempt 1 of 5: [Errno 110] Operation timed out Mär 11 08:20:03 IMURR9 weewx[3157]: wh23xx: get_current: failed attempt 1 of 5: [Errno 110] Operation timed out once per day Mär 11 03:40:30 IMURR9 weewx[532]: cheetahgenerator: Generate failed with exception '' Mär 11 03:40:30 IMURR9 weewx[532]: cheetahgenerator: Ignoring template /etc/weewx/skins/forecast/compact.html.tmpl Mär 11 03:40:30 IMURR9 weewx[532]: cheetahgenerator: Reason: database is locked Mär 11 03:40:31 IMURR9 weewx[532]: forecast: WUThread: WU: deleted forecasts prior to 1520131228 Mär 11 03:40:31 IMURR9 weewx[532]: Traceback (most recent call last): Mär 11 03:40:31 IMURR9 weewx[532]: File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/cheetahgenerator.py", line 330, in generate Mär 11 03:40:31 IMURR9 weewx[532]: print >> _file,
