Yep. Sounds like a good fallback solution. I'll still keep the original as it should be there in a standard install , and it still exists in that location with Weewx v5; but I will set that location as a 'report specific' option - which it probably should have anyway.

Re: [weewx-user] Weewx to Mastodon/ActivityPub?
Thank you Glen for the hints. I got it working. When I added unit_system = METRICWX to StdReport the error disappeared. Perhaps the best place for it would be in [StdRESTful] [[Mastodon]] ... unit_system = US, METRIC, METRICWX if that is possible as that way one could configure it for Mastodon only. The server part was actually the mastodon server URL that I signed in to i.e. 'mas.to' in my case. The confusion I had was because I thought I can find the server info from the same place where key_access_token can be retrieved and I thought it's something funny like dev.mastodon.com or similar where the API would reside. Oh, one thing I discovered when trying to report the UV readings. I got an error: weewx[30835] CRITICAL weewx.restx: Mastodon: Thread terminating. Reason: can only concatenate str (not "NoneType") to str After digging around I noticed that in file /home/weewx/bin/user/wxtoot.py in line 481 'uv_index': 'None', was causing the issue. I changed it to: 'uv_index': '', As I'm a lousy developer I don't know if this breaks something else but at least "it works for me" :) Perhaps you can take a look at that too for the coming releases. But thanks again for instructions you provided and creating this addon. It's an excellent replacement for Twitter. jaMO perjantai 5. toukokuuta 2023 klo 12.37.39 UTC+3 Glenn McKechnie kirjoitti: > On 05/05/2023, Jarmo Seppänen wrote: > > After installation I'm getting the following error to logs: > > May 5 10:57:35 raspi3b weewx[19058] CRITICAL __main__: Caught > > unrecoverable exception: > > May 5 10:57:35 raspi3b weewx[19058] CRITICAL __main__: > > 'unit_system' > > May 5 10:57:35 raspi3b weewx[19058] CRITICAL __main__: Traceback > > (most recent call last): > > May 5 10:57:35 raspi3b weewx[19058] CRITICAL __main__: File > > "/home/weewx/bin/weewxd", line 148, in main > > May 5 10:57:35 raspi3b weewx[19058] CRITICAL __main__: > > engine = weewx.engine.StdEngine(config_dict) > > May 5 10:57:35 raspi3b weewx[19058] CRITICAL __main__: File > > "/home/weewx/bin/weewx/engine.py", line 93, in __init__ > > May 5 10:57:35 raspi3b weewx[19058] CRITICAL __main__: > > self.loadServices(config_dict) > > May 5 10:57:35 raspi3b weewx[19058] CRITICAL __main__: File > > "/home/weewx/bin/weewx/engine.py", line 161, in loadServices > > May 5 10:57:35 raspi3b weewx[19058] CRITICAL __main__: obj = > > weeutil.weeutil.get_object(svc)(self, config_dict) > > May 5 10:57:35 raspi3b weewx[19058] CRITICAL __main__: File > > "/home/weewx/bin/user/wxtoot.py", line 290, in __init__ > > May 5 10:57:35 raspi3b weewx[19058] CRITICAL __main__: usn = > > > > config_dict['StdReport']['Defaults']['unit_system'] > > May 5 10:57:35 raspi3b weewx[19058] CRITICAL __main__: File > > "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/configobj.py", line 554, in __getitem__ > > May 5 10:57:35 raspi3b weewx[19058] CRITICAL __main__: val = > > dict.__getitem__(self, key) > > May 5 10:57:35 raspi3b weewx[19058] CRITICAL __main__: KeyError: > > 'unit_system' > > May 5 10:57:35 raspi3b weewx[19058] CRITICAL __main__: Exiting. > > Any hints? > > It's looking for the unit_system section in your weewx.conf file. > In the default weewx.conf for Weewx 4.10.2 it appears as follows... > [StdReport] > [...] > [[Defaults]] > [...] > unit_system = us > > Do you have an entry for unit_system in your weewx.conf file? > If it's missing, then put one in and see if that fixes that hiccup > (and I'll rethink if that's the best place to discover the > unit_system, or what to do if it goes missing) > > Which leads to... > What version of weewx are you running, > What's the version of wxtoot.py (at line 177) > Have you edited the weewx.conf file and removed that entry? > > > Also the parameter: server_url_mastodon = 'replace_me' confuses me.

Hi Chris,

I started re-purposing Matthew Walls twitter extension (which runs
uses RestX - [StdRESTful] ) and have had good success with it in the
half day or so that it's been runnng. Still some work to do on it
(phttt) but the text part works well enough.
Your use of the template is interesting - that gives it a bit of
flexibility.
I'll mull that one over while I continue down the media (image) path.

Just setup an account on your favourite Mastodon server,

create an API/Client Key (under development in your account's

install the template file to one of your skins (I just added it to the

Re: [weewx-user] Weewx to Mastodon/ActivityPub?
Oh! Elegant solution.
My “bot” is at @alberniweather...@mstdn.ca
http://mstdn.ca/@alberniweatherBot
Note, the instance has been extremely busy lately so don’t be surprised if the
connection times out.
Cheers

Hi all,
Has anyone had a go at having weewx post to Mastodon/Fediverse, either to
an existing @user@server or as an independent instance?
There is at least one fellow who has written some Python to do it from his
cumulus based system. I will share his GitHub project if someone thinks
they can do it.
