Certainly, if I ever get to thoroughly know the insights of the logging mechanisms inside core WeeWx code, I will happily contribute a fix. However, until then, please don't sound like that's the only way to fix regressions. That aside, what I'd like to hear is some opinion or statement from

2020-05-20 Thread kobuki
I've upgraded my 3.9.3 to 4.0.0 on a Debian 10. Unfortunately logging now is all over the place. Program name for rsyslog filters is either 'weewx' or 'weewxd' or on a second weewx instance, 'weewx-name'. That's the lesser of the issues, I can work around that. But then it ignores 'debug = 0'

That might provide a working solution, if the console port indeed dumps the data packets (I remembered it does, but right now I'm not entirely sure). If it does, it should RS422 signaling. I'm not sure if it can be used to wake up your module without losing the first few data bytes of the 10

That's also doable, but a LOT of work. Plus the T/H sensor has a proprietary protocol, so you might need to replace that sensor. Then you still need to write handlers for rain, wind, solar/UV sensors (if installed) as they're not interfaced digitally, and light sensors are analog, require a

That's an interesting idea. You might be able to use the console connector present on every SIM board to capture the same packets that are sent out on radio - *if* it's only the original radio that's dead. The only issue is the power consumption of the ESP32. Whatever ULP mode it has, WiFi will

The radio should be capable on paper, but the RFM9x series is only used for LoRa in the wild. The main problem is that there's no suitable driver for these modules for FSK mode. The RFM69 is cheaper for FSK and there are several FSK/OOK libs to choose from, plus it already has several working

Thanks for the insight. I've already found pvlib-python, good to know it can be advised to use by professionals, too. I'd be fine using the theoretical max. irradiance, one of my aims is actually pre-drawing an enveloping curve representing the possible max. power output. For real time curves

It's most likely not the driver but the sensor itself. The BMP280/BME280 chips are protocol compatible WRT their common command set, there is practically no room for error when reading out values between the 2. Your chip is probably off. Most cheap modules use chips of unknown origin and I've
