Re: [weewx-user] Re: how I change what shows up in my Weewx RSS feed?

Hi Kevin,

No not quite. Just like $day gives aggregates since the start of the day, $hour 
provides aggregates from the start of the hour. So to use $hour you use exactly 
the same syntax as with $day eg:

$hour.rain.sum displays total rainfall since the top of the hour

and

$hour.windGust.max displays the highest windGust seen since the top of the hour 

On the other hand $span provides an aggregate over some time span, that time 
span can be 1 or more hours, 1 or more days etc. So using $span with 1 hour 
gives you aggregates over the last hour. The $span syntax is slightly different 
in that we need to specify how long the 'span' is. To to that we use the 
$hour_delta parameter (or the $day_delta or the $week_delta parameter etc). So 

$span($hour_delta=1).rain.sum displays the total rainfall over the last 1 hour

and

$span($hour_delta=1).windGust.max displays the highest windGust over the last 1 
hour

$day, $hour etc also have a similar parameter (though not used as often); 
$_ago (where  is day or hour etc) to give you an aggregate over the day 
before, the day before that, the hour before the current, the hour before that 
etc. $day, $hour and friends always start on a day or hour etc boundary whereas 
that is not necessarily the case with $span. Probably best explained in the 
Customization Guide (http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm) under the 
Customizing templates section 
(http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#customizing_templates), should have 
pointed you there before but was on the mobile and typing much on the mobile is 
a pain (well for me anyway).

Hi Gary,

That's very helpful. Thank you. Now that you mention it, showing from the
top of the hour would probably be better. So to be clear...

If I want to display the total rain since the top of the hour, I would use:
$span($hour.rain.sum)

If I want to display the max wind gust since the top of the hour, I would
use: $span($hour.windGust.sum)

Is that correct?

Kevin, in this case you want the sum so $span($hour_delta=1).rain.sum should do 
what you want. Note that this gives the sum over the last 60 minutes, you can 
use $hour.rain.sum to get the total rain since the top of the hour (same for 
windGust).

Hi Gary,

That worked!

The most recent tweet:

Time: 12/10/18 08:00:00 PM Temp: 11.4°C Wind Chill: 11.4°C Heat Index:
11.4°C Dewpoint: 4.4°C Humidity: 62% Barometer: 1017.4 hPa Wind: 10 km/h
from WNW Max Wind Gust this hour: 18 km/h Rain Rate: 0.0 mm/hr

Sorry, one more quick thing (I promise). What can I add/change to show
total rain rate for the hour?

Re: [weewx-user] Re: how I change what shows up in my Weewx RSS feed?

[Kevin Lloyd]

Hi Gary,

Here's what part of my RSS tmpl file looks like right now:


 Time:$current.dateTime
 Outside Temperature: $current.outTemp
 Wind Chill:  $current.windchill
 Heat Index:  $current.heatindex
 Dewpoint:$current.dewpoint
 Humidity:$current.outHumidity
 Barometer:   $current.barometer
 Wind:$current.windSpeed from
$current.windDir.ordinal_compass
 Rain Rate:   $current.rainRate


So, I would add something like this(?): Wind Gust:$day.windGust.max

"$day can be replaced with $month or $year. Other periods are available too
with custom search lists."

Max wind gust for the day would work, but max wind gust for the hour would
be even better, since the main benefit of Twitter is that it's real-time.

What would I need to change/add to do that?

Re: [weewx-user] Re: how I change what shows up in my Weewx RSS feed?

[Kevin Lloyd]

Actually, I have one more related thought. Having wind direction show up in
the RSS and Twitter feeds is important, but I'd like to also have the max
wind gust show up as well. What do I need to change or add to make that
happen?

As always, I really appreciate the help. :)
