Hi Gary Thanks for your quick response. You have confirmed the best way is to populate a new field to get the graph Im looking for. Im happy with adding a new field to the database This new field would have the 0.01 * 36 but im not sure how to do that Is that done in the vantage.py file, and if

It should be numbers like 0.01 or 0.02 inch per hour. I'm just around the corner in Hood River, and my max value today was 0.024/hr, but it is probably a bit drier here (RH today was 25%). So, if you have a 5 minute archive interval, 0.001 sounds about right. ET is best viewed as summed over a

Whilst there definitely is nothing in the API for retrieving what WeeWX knows as 'radiation', there is a calibration setting labelled 'SolarRad Gain' in the WS View app (interestingly there is no gain setting for anything to do with 'light', luminosity, illuminance etc so it could be a

Hi, If I am understanding you correctly you have a field that is being populated in the WeeWX database. The field data is such that you display cumulative values or sums (ala rain) rather than point in time values (like temperature, pressure etc). You have been scaling that field on your web

I am not sure if this impacts on the WH65 issue mentioned below but I now have the driver distinguishing whether there is a WH65 or WH24 connected to the GW1000. This will (I hope) have a flow on affect on battery status fields but given the manner in which the API works I don't believe it will

Just as I was going to check the db for the entries you said, my Weatherflow station started having radiation and windspeed sensor fails. Now that I have a replacment up and running, I did the db check and I do have all the parameters in there as well as ET calculations but the result is so

Hi All Have been using the Instromet Stand Alone Sun Duration sensor which if connected to a Davis Vantage Pro2 system needs to go to a spare rain socket in the ISS. Each 0.01 is equivalent to 36 seconds of sunshine and I have converted that to hours and minutes on my web page. The next stage

Bill About not being able to run the driver directly, If you have python 2 on your system, but have installed WeeWX to use python 3 you may not have installed the prerequisites for python 2. If you have a setup.py install and try to run: PYTHONPATH=/home/weewx/bin python -m user.gw1000
