This posting is a "review" and sharing feedback regarding the Grafana experience. Not intended to be an "in-depth" discussion, neither great debate, just personal "pros and cons" for WeeWX. For a start, to note that Grafana vs Highcharts might "bananas vs apples" Grafana intended to IoT mon

Agree! In parallel to wind gust... wind direction. Sure, always "cool" to see that your website and PWS are "alived". And now, to be true to the original posting "is still worthwhile"? I might had said "yes", when WU and rapidfire had their time, and it was interesting to see it live... but W

I finally did it... not total WU unplug, but "half-unplug". As I also serving data to other services, I just disabled "rapid fire" to WU, saving resources as to deal with other stuff. X -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group. To unsubs

It's never too silly to ask that kind of stuff. Yes, i did :). Bad credentials should lead to an error-entry in the log, as far as I remember the code. What I could probably do is modifying lowBattery.py in a way that it will send warnings, when the battery is not empty and do more logging. --
