[weewx-user] Re: Sky Cover data to pwsweather.com

I should add my comments re METAR is my supposition; the observation related fields (as distinct from API keys, date-times, software name etc) in the PWS Weather upload string format are: wind direction wind speed wind gust speed temperature hour rainfall day rainfall month rainfall year rainfal

[weewx-user] Re: Sky Cover data to pwsweather.com

Thank you for the explanation. I incorrectly thought that cloudcover was the data expected by pwsweather. Now that I see that it is more involved, I will wait patiently. The reason for my interest is that the AerisPulse app gives me data from a station many miles from me when I am reporting

[weewx-user] Re: Sky Cover data to pwsweather.com

Hi, Short answer is the WeeWX PWSWeather uploader does not support any form of 'sky cover percentage'. In looking at the upload string format recently provided by PWSWeather the only field I can see that might support 'sky cover percentage' is the 'weather' field which is described as ' Curre

[weewx-user] Re: Sky Cover data to pwsweather.com

I don't know. I don't think it has anything to do with Belchertown. pwsweather is looking for sky cover percentage. I know that a few stations report this and I'm wondering how it is done. All other data is reporting. My data is calculating cloud base however, pwsweather is looking for a p

Re: [weewx-user] How to insert a special symbol in the format and labeling text

Most of the skin templates use utf-8 encoding, so the formal answer is that special characters must be entered using that encoding. However, if you cut and paste from a source such as copypastecharater.com, 99% of the time the paste will use utf-8 and it will display properly. On Wed, Feb 17, 20

Re: [weewx-user] Fixing units in a new graph

Formats and labels are keyed to *unit groups*, not observation types. If you really want to use luminance (instead of illuminance), you need to tell the system what unit group it is in. You do that by making an assignment to the data structure weewx.units.obs_group_dict: import weewx.units weewx.u

Re: [weewx-user] Fixing units in a new graph

Aaaah, no matter. I just found the section 'Assigning a unit group' in the Customization guide. That seems to work... RTFM, I suppose... Thanks! Cheers, Jan-Jaap On Wednesday, February 17, 2021 at 10:28:37 PM UTC+1 Jan-Jaap van der Geer wrote: > On Tuesday, February 16, 2021 at 10:53:33 PM UTC

[weewx-user] How to insert a special symbol in the format and labeling text

I have made some changes to the current.inc skin generating file and now want to tweak it just a smidge. In the current conditions, listing the various values, I used the ($trend) operator to get the difference from 24 hours ago. I had it in a line at the bottom of the listing of values, but

Can I just modify the code of the already installed driver or would I need to repackage and reinstall it. I may do that later but its another piece I need to learn. Also how do I ensure its all running Python3? Thanks for all the help. Terry On Tuesday, 16 February 2021 at 18:45:15 UTC-8 pete

My watchdog is a very simple minded one - it regularly (once per minute using cron) searches /var/log/messages for USB messages. If it detects some the raspi will be automatically rebooted. Sadly currently I've no access to my scripts - drop me a note if you still need it. Then I'll look into t
