I suspect there is some history involved. As far as I can make out, if LOOP2 data were to be read then the packets are alternated with LOOP - which would result in LOOP packets being received every 5 seconds instead of every 2.5 seconds - perhaps that is why they are not being read!!! As to w

Understand that weewx does not read LOOP2 packets. Did not get the part about " LOOP2 data is more than likely software generated by weewx" The LOOP2 packet format is specified in Davis protocol and it seems to be containing some data that WU is expecting. Shouldnt weewx be reading it then? Not su

I do not think weewx reads LOOP2 packets - so none of the LOOP2 data is available. On Monday, 29 July 2019 12:54:52 UTC+3, Praveen Chandrasekaran wrote: > > Looking at below: > > > https://feedback.weather.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2924682-pws-upload-protocol?b_id=17298 > > > WU expects

Looking at below: https://feedback.weather.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2924682-pws-upload-protocol?b_id=17298 WU expects wind speed average over 2 min average and 10 min gusts and instantaneous speed. Did something change in this recently? Looking at weewx code from restx.py I am not sure if

Hmm. Will try. Before the WU overhaul it was showing them separately on the graph though. The gust value from LOOP2 seems to be 10 min wind gust while the wind speed sent out is the instantaneous wind speed from LOOP packet I believe? This may explain why wind speed and wind gust are same in graph.

I really do not see how you can have a meaningful gust value from readings submitted every few seconds!! I see from the Davis comms protocol the gust values are in LOOP2 packets and the smallest appears to be a 2 minute gust value. Setting debug=1 may shed more light on what is actually being

i doubt it very much. what weather station do you have? changing the rf frequency changes the upload to wu interval but the station will still be being polled as before. Does the station provide the gust value in the LOOP data? If not then the gust value is an artificial one created by weewx

i would doubt it very much but you could try. it certainly would not help it if wu just ignores gust from rf feeds anyway. On Friday, 26 July 2019 10:42:14 UTC+3, Praveen Chandrasekaran wrote: > > If I set rtfreq to a higher value like 5 seconds, should that resolve the > issue? > > On Fri, 26

if from rf it has no gusts it cannot graph them. non rf sites will provide a gust value per archive interval. who knows what wu do when they receive both rf and archive record data!! The tables may well create an artificial gust value from rf speeds, but again who knows what wu use to create

I would suspect WU ignore windgust on rapidfire because you need a sustained period of I think 3 seconds for the gust to count as a gust in metereological definitions - and the rf interval is probably too short - so gust will always equal speed in rf situations. On Friday, 26 July 2019 08:26:
