Re: [weewx-user] Real Time Gauges (RTGD) for Steel Series

2019-01-14 Thread Tom Robertson

Thanks Gary and understand all.  I am actually having fun getting weewx setup 
and customized.  It is a powerful program that can do amazing stuff.

I found out that the timeout variable was causing my system not to upload.  
When I copied it from the py file I left it set at 1.  When I changed it to 2, 
the default, or commented it out, things  work fine.

# timeout in seconds for remote URL posts. Optional, default is 2
timeout = 1

I am an engineer and probably follow things too literally.  For example the 
"instructions" in the py file say

3.  Add the following stanza to weewx.conf:

[RealtimeGaugeData]
.
.

and that is what I did. 


I broke out an old Intel I3 notebook and installed Ubuntu and weewx on it. I 
have to say it works better than the RPI I was using.  I'may have to est the 
RPI and see if it can handle the 2 sec upload along with the other stuff.


Let me see what I can break next.

Good news.

The instructions at the top of the rtgd.py are meant as a fallback if all you 
have are the source files for the extension with no access to instructions or 
the installer. They really just document all of the settings, you can certainly 
copy the [RealtimeGaugeData] stanza to weewx.conf but it will certainly need 
some changes, for example the scroller_source config option indicates all of 
the possible sources (scroller_source = text|file|WU|DS|Zambretti) and you need 
to have just one. If you copy the config stanza from rtgd.py then you really 
need to go through each config option carefully to make sure it is correct for 
your install/setup.

For rtgd I have tried to structure it such that installing rtgd as an extension 
using wee_extension gives a basic functioning install (emphasis on the basic). 
Instructions for this are presented in the github readme that displays at the 
bottom of the page when you land on the rtgd repo. Manual instructions are 
included as well for those that do not want to use wee_extension, again these 
should be on the landing page. Both wee_extension and manual instructions

Tom,

Ok, good news on the http post front - it is a simple fix. The 
remote_server_url config option under [RealtimeGaugeData] needs to include the 
name of the php file that accepts the http post. So rather than:

remote_server_url =

you need

   remote_sever_url =

You will need to save weewx.conf and do a config reload or restart weeWX for 
the change to take effect.

It seems that if you hit the server without the php file name no error is 
thrown, I will need to see if there is something I can catch to at least log 
the error in the weeWX log.

Not so good on the units. I just ran up a virtual machine installed weeWX 3.8.2 
and rtgd 0.3.5 and setup WU and by default it displays a metric forecast. I set 
units = US under [RealtimeGaugeData] [[WU]] in weewx.conf, saved weewx.conf and 
restarted weeWX and it immediately downloaded a WU forecast and display US

Ok, nothing unusual in the weewx log. Sounds like the the rtgd thread silently

that gauge-data.txt is being generated on your weeWX machine without error

 I don't get a 404 error so it would appear that post_gauge-data.php is 
accessible on your web server. Next thing to check is to see what (if any) 
error rtgd is getting when it tries to post gauge-data.txt. To do this edit 
weewx.conf, set debug = 1, save weewx.conf and restart weeWX. Assuming the post 
fails rtgd should come up with an error message that should be logged. It 
probably won't mean much but will give us a pointer to the issue.

Now look at your web servers error log. How you do this will depend on your web 
server; is it hosted for you or self hosted, what web server software is used 
and how is the logging configured. I host locally using nginx and I have my 
error log in /var/log/nginx/error.log on my nginx machine. Yours will almost 
certainly be different. What you need to look for are entries in the log from 
each time rtgd tries to post gauge-data.txt, this should tell us what error 
your web server is seeing.

For WU forecast units just put units = US somewhere under [[WU]], then either 
do a config reload or restart weeWX and the WU forecast will be downloaded with 
US customary units next time the forecast is downloaded.

Ok, that indicates the thread is still alive. Am at a bit of a loss at the 
moment. I will have to put a bit more logging into rtgd.py so we can see 
what is going on around the posting of gauge-data.txt. 

Going to be a later today job for me so I guess tomorrow for you :).

 I don't get a 404 error so it would appear that post_gauge-data.php is

error rtgd is getting when it tries to post gauge-data.txt. To do this edit

Now look at your web servers error log. How you do this will depend on your web

and how is the logging configured. I host locally using nginx and I have my 
error log in /var/log/nginx/error.log on my nginx machine. Yours will almost

Correct, you just want to disable generation of gauge-data.txt by the skin. As 
you have found the instructions in rtgd.py (step 6 I think) are correct.

The offending staff member has since been fired.

I am just starting to attempt to set these up.  I intend to use the 
post_gauge-data.php to get the files on my off-site server.  The instructions 
say:



Note: If the SteelSeries weeWX skin is installed either disable the skin or 
ensure that the Realtime gauge-data extension generated gauge-data.txt file is 
saved to a different location to that generated by the SteelSeries weeWX skin.



Doesn’t the SS skin generate the index.html file and the graphs.  I might have 
read somewhere that the graphs do not work with the RTGD extension but I would 
think you need the index.html?  So do go into the weex.conf file and but 
##skin=ss and that is all other than modifying the rtgd.py file?

Re: [weewx-user] Real Time Gauges (RTGD) for Steel Series

2019-01-13 Thread Tom Robertson

OK I'm making progress.  I have RTGD creating the gauge-data.txt file every 
loop and placing it in the html_public directory and it is uploaded at the 
archive interval.  I also have the WU forecast showing on the LED screen.

I can not get the post_gauge-data.php to work.  It is not uploading.  I placed 
the php file in the same directory as the SS gauges, 
www.kq5s.com/weewx/ss<http://www.kq5s.com/weewx/ss>.  This is from my weewx 
config file:

[RealtimeGaugeData]
date_format = %Y.%m.%d %H:%M
scroller_source = WU
rtgd_path = /home/weewx/public_html

# Remote URL to which the gauge-data.txt data will be posted via HTTP POST.
# Optional, omit to disable HTTP POST.
remote_server_url = http://www.kq5s.com/weewx/ss
# timeout in seconds for remote URL posts. Optional, default is 2
timeout = 1
# text returned from remote URL indicating success. Optional, default is no
# response text.
response_text = success


>From RTGD.PY


# Path to gauge-data.txt. Relative paths are relative to HTML_ROOT. If
# empty default is HTML_ROOT. If setting omitted altogether default is
# /var/tmp
rtgd_path = /home/weewx/public_html

# File name (only) of file produced by rtgd. Optional, default is
# gauge-data.txt.
rtgd_file_name = gauge-data.txt

# Remote URL to which the gauge-data.txt data will be posted via HTTP POST.
# Optional, omit to disable HTTP POST.
remote_server_url = http://www.kq5s.com/weewx/ss

Any help please?

OK.  I see more detailed instructions in the rtgd.py file.  I’ll give it a go 
though I may wait until tomorrow morning when I am fresh.  The steps seem 
pretty involved for us novices.  It does appear as though the gauge-data.txt 
file generated by SS is placed in the public_html/ss directory and the RTGD 
will place it in the public_html do it should not be an issue.
