Re: [weewx-user] how to diagnose a davis envoy that lost connection to iss?

I would try listening with rtldavis to see if you can tell if the ISS is transmitting. Do you have a console also? Is that displaying? Did you recently install any equipment near the envoy, that would create RF interference? (I agree that is suspicious.) -- You received this message bec

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Monitoring RESTful API calls sending weather data

My reaction to all of this is that if you want to have status on whether the upload succeeded you really want to have that flow from the code in weewx hitting a point where it believes it got an ack. Listening to network traffic seems like a really wrong way to do it, and if the upload is https -

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Adding lightening sensor to weewx

I am monitoring acurite strike data (6045M with rtl_433 not weewx). One tricky thing about acurite is that strike count 1) is a cumulative count of strikes, so it needs differencing if you want strikes in some interval. Presumably that's the count in the archive interval for weewx. 2)

[weewx-user] altitude for barometer calibration

tl;dr: What elevation is barometric reduced to? 0 meters in NAVD88? Some other height datum? What about other countries, WMO, etc? I'm going down the rabbit-hole of barometer calibration. I'm trying to address it in two parts: calibrating station pressure, and then using the correct altitude

And, in addition to the advice you just got: Make a backup of the database before you start. If you just want to look, instead of running sqlite3 on the database, copy the file to a different place and look at the copy. If you aren't skilled in SQL, you might damage the database by typi

Use wee_device with --info to see if that can communicate, when weewx is not running. check cabling and that your serial port has the same name you are using in the driver config. http://www.weewx.com/docs/hardware.htm#vantage_notes -- You received this message because you are subscribed to th
