For what it’s worth, rainRate has been a problem as I have it fixed in my copy of gauges. I don’t know when I changed it as it is in my initial check in (Jan. 6) of my private (and modified) github copy. In particular, I don’t know if I needed to change it for WeeWX 4. > On Apr 6, 2020, at 6:

Well looking into the rainrate/rainRate issue has been most interesting. First up rainrate has been used in skin.conf for the rain rate plot as follows since the SteelSeries Weather Gauges first directly supported WeeWX: [[images]] x_label_format = %H:%M show_daynight = true

To install the SteelSeries Gauges extension using wee_extension you need to download steelseries-2.7.4.tar.gz package. You can usually download and install an extension from a repo zip file but in this case you can’t. The reason being the WeeWX SteelSeries skin files are maintained in the SteelS

Hello Wes Witt, The sdr is not used to receive radio or TV signals but the program is listening at the frequency 433 MHz. The outdoor sensors of the weather stations usually send on this. I would like to use it to read the rain gauge, wind sensor and outside temperature of my current weather sta

As far as weewx is concerned, it's always been rainRate. I don't know how Steelgauges works, but it's possible it's only used in case-insensitive database queries. -tk On Mon, Apr 6, 2020 at 8:12 AM Phil Owers wrote: > This is interesting > I have a pi running 3.9.2 (Python2) which runs OK wit
