Instead of using batteries, power the sensors from the 3.3V rail on the Raspberry Pi. So if you cycle the Pi power you will also cycle the sensor power If you cycle the Pi power - and you are running the FO station off the USB with no batteries - then when you cycle the Pi power you will cycle

Thanks to all. I made a template index.txt.tmpl in ./skins/Standard. Added a new group [[[index_txt]]] with that tmpl in skin.conf. Bingo all goes like it should. On Friday, January 17, 2020 at 4:24:28 PM UTC+13, Ian Boag wrote: > > Thanks/ I didn't know about the CheetahGen

I would like to read a copy of what went into index.html. wee_config-device --current gives me the current stuff, but the --history one just seem to go away for ever. I suppose I could create a very skeletal index.html.tmpl, swap it with the real one, run wee_reports then swap them back again

Thanks In the JSON stuff the "RainHourly" stuff is rain in the last hour - I call it rainRate because that's the field name in index.html.tmpl. Is there a corresponding field name for "rain since midnight?" The double conversion is not all that hard looks easier than the alternative. I

The dreaded watchdog. An all-purpose solution to stuff that misbehaves for poorly understood reasons. I run a FO 1080 with 4 cameras and a cellular modem from a weewx-powered Pi and sometimes things go awry. I made a watchdog timer using a 555 and some bits. Set the timeout at about 4
