Re: [weewx-user] Is WeeWx 5.0 beta stable enough for non-experts to fool around with?

my experiments with multiple instances and topologies have been very smooth with pip install - that is quite elegant. i tried the documented github install and fell on my face, even after working out to select V5 to clone. i’m not github-savvy (but i look at the source code a lot) so ‘here be dr

Re: [weewx-user] comma in label in Seasons skin.conf causes failure

for the forum search record, you can do a lot of stuff (especially using services) within one instance of weewx. you only *must* use separate instances when you need multiple drivers, or services conflict with each other. you *may* separate instances for operational or scalability purposes ⊣GE⊢

[weewx-user] Is WeeWx 5.0 beta stable enough for non-experts to fool around with?

I have looked gitHub and see there is a 5.0 beta out there. I am wondering if it is stable enough for a casual user to fiddle around with it before official release, or should only experts be using it now to test and give feedback to the developers? Just curious.  Dale -- You received thi

Re: [weewx-user] comma in label in Seasons skin.conf causes failure

If a string has a comma in it, configobj , the configuration manager, interprets it as a list. That's why you have to quote it. On Wed, Aug 30, 2023 at 4:09 PM cric...@pobox.com wrote: > I'm setting up yet another weewx instance, this time for plottin

Re: [weewx-user] Barometer and pressure once again

from the wiki page I sent For example, the FineOffset consoles can display either the station pressure (called 'absolute' pressure) or the station pressure plus an offset (called 'relative' pressure). T So Fine Offset equipment just does pressure badly. So get station pressure into weewx,

[weewx-user] comma in label in Seasons skin.conf causes failure

I'm setting up yet another weewx instance, this time for plotting a solar charge controller. Not stuck on this, but ran into an issue where having a comma in a label name causes the traceback below. I didn't try quoting the string, but removing the comma cleared the issue. This is the latest ve

Re: [weewx-user] Barometer and pressure once again

yes - why not calibrate your console first when you see that the offset between absolute and relative pressure for your location used is wrong, just adjust it 😎 the the first basic step I'd say even though, when your absolute (=local) pressure reading is correct, and your have the weewx option

Ok, so I'm switching to templates, but I'm doing something wrong, because I can't get that rain sum. In my case it just prints "$since($hour=0).rain.sum.format("%.3f")" instead of showing the value. How did you do it? This is my `mastodon.txt.tmpl` (there are a few errors in my template e.g I sh
