[weewx-user] Best practice to merge weewx.conf changes on update

For a long time, I've been sticking with my old whew.conf file, ignoring the new ones that show up with each update. It's been several years, and I'm wondering if / when my old conf file becomes outdated enough that I'm missing features, or creating problems. Short of manually updating each t

Thanks, Vince. I had a look at the extension and it was very helpful. I've written a python program to get and parse the json for the station, but haven't turned it into a weewx extension, and don't know if / when I will. I used to be a professional coder, but that was some decades ago. The

[weewx-user] Extension to read purpleAir data via json?

I'd like to add air quality to my weewx data. There is a purple air sensor very near to me, but it's not mine and I don't have lan access to it. It does report to purpleair.com, and I can read the data from there in json format. I thought I remembered seeing that somebody had done an extensio

Charlie, thanks for posting this! I'm switching from my ancient vantage pro, connected via lantronix serial<->ethernet to a shiny new vantage pro 2 with the WiFiLogger 2 (firmware 2.33). I ran into the same problem: Sep 22 10:56:59 ubu-mini-weather weewx[178549] INFO

[weewx-user] Can't update weewx from 3.8.0.1 (Ubuntu / Cheetah)

I'm trying to update my weewx installation. When I use the python2 version, 'apt-get install weewx' gets me 'weewx is already the newest version (3.8.0-1).'. I know that we're up to 4.x. So I try the python3 version. That gets me the following: $ sudo apt-get install weewx Reading p

[weewx-user] Re: Advice on moving to new station hardware (prob ecowitt or ambinent)

After all the useful input, I just ordered a Vantage Pro 2 from Scaled Instruments. They've got a great price for them right now. Also, at his suggestion I ordered a WiFiLogger 2. I'll post later about how that works out. Thanks to all for the advice and wisdom. On Tuesday, August 25, 2020

[weewx-user] Re: Advice on moving to new station hardware (prob ecowitt or ambinent)

Thanks for the input everyone. The reason I was considering a different brand than Davis is connectivity. Currently, my old Vantage console has an option added to it which provides a serial output, which goes to a Lantronix serial-ethernet server box (necessary because the station is too far

[weewx-user] Advice on moving to new station hardware (prob ecowitt or ambinent)

I need a replacement for my 25-year-old Vantage Pro (original, not +) and am considering either the Ecowitt 2551 or the 2553 or the Ambient equivalents. I'll also add a WH41 and a WH43 (or ambient equivalents) ar quality sensors. I've got a 25 year database of weather (started on wView) and

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Can't use my wview database

Well, it took ~20 hours for wee_database --fix-strings to munge my old wview_archive.sdb on my little 1.6GHz Celeron (which, not so long ago, would have been a supercomputer!), but it worked! To merge that data with the data from weewx for the last month, I opened weewx.sdb with sqlite3 and .d

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Can't use my wview database

I'm running it now with check-strings. Taking a long time. Extrapolating out, looks like it could be 24 hours or so for 11 years of data (537K records). Is that normal? (1.6 GHz Celeron N3150, 4GHz ram) Also, once its done (assuming it works) I was planning on merging the last month of

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Can't use my wview database

OK, I'm feeling a bit dense, so let me see if I understand. If I am to modify /etc/weewx/weewx.conf, I should stop weewx, back up weewx.conf, make the changes you suggest to it, and run wee_database. If all goes as planned, I will then have a fixed archive, which I can go ahead and combine wi

[weewx-user] Original Vantage Pro, connected via serial-ethernet converter?

My old computer, on which I've been running view for many years, has died. I'd like to switch over to weewx, but I'm not sure if it will support my hardware. I'm running an original vantage pro. The console has a serial port, which I've connected to my LAN with a Lantronix serial-ethernet in
