[weewx-user] Sunrise and Sunset Epochs in MQTT

What do the epoch times in the sunrise and sunset MQTT topics represent? Based on my latest MQTT record, neither reconcile with the times shown on the web page for sunrise and sunset? And as an aside, if I look at my webpage mid-day, does the sunrise time shown reflect the sunrise for earlier that

A new SD card os does not have a webserver installed. You have to pick one that you want to use and install it. I'd suggest 'sudo apt-get install nginx' for one that works nicely on a pi. Then run 'sudo systemctl status nginx.service' to verify it's running. -- You received this message becau

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Rain Rate Calc Problem?

Hard to say without seeing the log, but if I had to hazard a guess, I'd say you're not consistently using the same copy of weewx.conf for all runs. One of the copies does not have rainRate in [StdWXCalculate]. But, that's just a guess. On Thu, Dec 24, 2020 at 1:58 PM James Bellanca wrote: > App

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Rain Rate Calc Problem?

Appreciate the help so far. I had to wait for it to start raining again to do anything haha. And ok, so this is very strange behavior. I stopped the weewx service, and ran it directly (log of the terminal window is attached). rainRate calculates fine, AND updates the database fine, just like i

Re: [weewx-user] Does NOAA use NAVD88 or GPS (Ellipsoid referenced) Height for AS Determination?

Altimeter settings (aka QNH) are referenced to mean sea level. It has nothing to do with GPS altitude. If a properly set and calibrated barometric altimeter agrees with a GPS it is just a coincidence, some might say a rare coincidence. Regards, Garry Lockyer C: +1.250.689.0686 E: ga...@lockye

[weewx-user] Re: Does NOAA use NAVD88 or GPS (Ellipsoid referenced) Height for AS Determination?

It's hard to tell from your wording, but I'm guessing you perhaps are wanting to set your station altitude super-precisely (?) I'd suggest that being off from perfect just a few feet either way isn't going to make any significant difference within the accuracy of a consumer weather station's se

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Rain Rate Calc Problem?

The log does not include when weewx started up, so we can't tell which weewx.conf it is using, what the sensor map was, nor what services are being loaded. Otherwise, it looks normal. Do a restart, then post the log through the first archive cycle. If rainRate is being calculated (and your instrum
