Re: [weewx-user] Rain counter configuration

The variable 'rain' is the amount of rain that fell during the time in question. That is, for LOOP packets, it should be the amount of rain that fell since the last LOOP packet (likely a very small number), for archive records, it should be the amount of rain that fell during the archive interval

I can't be sure, but I suspect the Belchertown skin fell victim to this issue: https://github.com/weewx/weewx/issues/436 On Wed, Mar 29, 2023 at 8:37 AM geni08...@gmail.com wrote: > I see this error since today! > > Mar 29 17:00:28 Wetter-Raspi4 weewx[629] INFO user.belchertown: version 1.3 > Ma

Perhaps not in the exact words of this issue, but the Customising units and unit group section in the Customisation Guide covers pretty much everything in this thread. Gary On Thursday, 30 March 2023 at 06:33:45 UTC+10:30 vince wrote: >

Wow - I never put the pieces together in my brain before. Thanks for replying with what you did rather than just "solved". Anybody willing to volunteer adding a brief wiki page for this one ? It seems like a great example to use for mapping something to a particular units group, as well as ed

It works!!! Thanks everyone, Wayne Here are the required changes: I added this to extensions.py as suggested by an oldman and Karen K */usr/share/weewx/user extensions.py* *import weewx.units* *weewx.units.obs_group_dict['windBatteryStatus'] = ''group_volt'weewx.units.obs_group_dict['luminosit

[weewx-user] Re: How do I change the number of displayed decimal places?

I guess `windBatteryStatus` is not a boolean value (i.e. true or false) but an integer or real value. So you may want to choose another observation group. The decimal places are set in section StringFormats for the respective units (not observation groups). an oldman schrieb am Mittwoc

Hi this is how i did it. using *WeeWX version: 4.10.1 Seasons version: 4.10.1 Python version: 3.10.10* *in the user dir is a file extensions.py* *i add* import weewx.units weewx.units.obs_group_dict['windBatteryStatus'] = 'group_boolean' weewx.units.obs_group_dict['luminosity'] = 'group_illuminanc

[weewx-user] Re: How do I change the number of displayed decimal places?

For this original question: - you're using luminosity and windBatteryStatus which are in the db schema - but I can't see how to determine what they map to by default - so I can't suggest which [[StringFormats]] edits to make in skin.conf This is one where there might not be a simple

[weewx-user] Rain counter configuration

Hi, I just got WeeWX version 4.91 running on a Raspberry Pi using FileParse for my data input because I built my own weather station. Everything is working nicely, with exception of the rain counter. Is the program expecting a value of 1 for every pulse from the tipping bucket or .01 value?

Re: [weewx-user] Raspberry Pi ... What's happening?

[weewx-user] weekly chart strips

suppose you look at a given weekly plot of some observation e.g. outside temperature. suppose further that you can scroll left or right to see earlier or later weekly plots - much easier to see trends going over months e.g. how the temperature is varying over several months. (in my case looking

*To display the data, I simply added the observation title from my sensor map to the "station_observations" string in the weewx.conf file.* *Since I was able to change the name of the observation (i.e. luminosity to Brightness) I was hoping the data could also be formatted. I included snippets

[weewx-user] Re: How do I change the number of displayed decimal places?

@vince: That is the Belchertown skin. The area schown in the screenshot is configured in a single entry in skin.conf, listing the observation types to be displayed. There is no special configuration for decimal places available. So the general configuration of WeeWX applies. vince schrieb am Mi
