[weewx-user] "First Light", working, but with some problems

After writing a new driver for my station and configuring weewx to support its data stream I was able to run weewx live for a few minutes, then shut it down to check SYSLOG (debug=2). There appears to be two problems (see attached syslog excerpt): a) The database and reports are updating on

Re: [weewx-user] WUnderground test

The WeatherFlowUDP driver is a nice example of one that listens for broadcast data and does the right thing. You could use that perhaps as a basis for doing your own driver that matches your gear. The WeatherFlowUDP driver is 'very' stable and reliable so it would be a great starting point

[weewx-user] Re: A low level priority question: A question about multi-instances of WeeWx and a more powerful processor on the horizon

A pi4 can run quite a lot very easily especially if you dockerize your weewx setups. The new v5 as Tom mentioned would make it much simpler as well if you wanted to go that way (one installation of 'code' and different trees for data/skins/config files) although you would need to cook up your

Re: [weewx-user] A low level priority question: A question about multi-instances of WeeWx and a more powerful processor on the horizon

One v5 change that makes it easier to run multiple instances is that all station data has now been cleanly separated from the "code." So you can put skins, configuration files, and even extensions in a separate place for each station. That makes it a lot easier to keep track of what instance is

Re: [weewx-user] A low level priority question: A question about multi-instances of WeeWx and a more powerful processor on the horizon

I haven't been following the story of having multiple Weewx on a single computer. What's the problem? Performance - then having a faster computer would help? Instances relying on the same resources to do the same thing? Having more compute power won't help that, but it might make it more practical

[weewx-user] A low level priority question: A question about multi-instances of WeeWx and a more powerful processor on the horizon

I have three different RaspPi units running WeeWx from some of my stations (like most with this hobby, some obsessions like more than one seems somewhat common). I know it has been said that neither WeeWx was designed to do, nor is easy to accomplish, multiple instances running on a single

Re: [weewx-user] WUnderground test

The data logger is a broadcast type, meaning it outputs the current data every 60 seconds (ie, it is not polled by the driver). If the weewx driver fails to get one or more of these data then the data base is not accurate and hence any daily totals will be wrong. For me, the most important

OK. Clean install with careful model settings, etc. Working 100% Awesomeness! Thanks for this - I've been wanting to use it for years but always some distraction. I've referred many others to WeeWx. Being able to devote an inovato Quadra to the project keeps the setup neater. The HTML page

Let's stick with V4.10.2. If you're not getting any graphs, the first thing you need to do is show us the log. See the Wiki article *Help! Posting to weewx-user * for how to get a good log. On Sat, Sep 30, 2023 at 3:30 PM kd4e

kd4e, I'm not sure why you put your post under this thread. Are you getting this error? If so, the current version of WeeWX, v4.10.2, as well as the beta version of v5.0, have the fix. If this is not your problem, you should really start a new thread. I'm not sure why you need genplot.py, but

Lorin, According to your "week" configuration, Belchertown should normally create a json file named week.json. (http://www.gestionlgt.com/Chalet/json/week.json). Your problem seems to be due to the fact that another template is overwriting the week.json file, and that the format of this json

Re: [weewx-user] Belchertown weekly graph

Found out that I was creating the issue by running it myself, but the weewx run as root so that problem doesn't occurs when it runs by itself So the problem is really specific to only the week graph, every other thing work flawlessly other than the week repport.

Re: [weewx-user] Belchertown weekly graph

The log file pretty clearly says which file it can't write to. So you need to fix the permissions on that file. Pretty simple. Without any details on your setup it's hard to say more than that, other than if you're doing unusual things like writing across the network to a filesystem mounted
