I spoke too soon, it's not changing, so I guess will have to find a different way to do this. I'm also contemplating installing meteotemplate, so this requirement may not be so critical. Although for a dedicated weather meter display I have on my small raspberry pi it would be nice to have th

It has been changing, I left the scroller_text blank in the weewx.conf to force it to use the forecast, but then my change hijacks the forecast text. It seems to be changing. I have a pay account with WU so I poll them every 15 minutes for the forecast. The query I do with them is the three

Yes, but does it change when the contents of /var/tmp/fctdata chnage? v0.2.10 will now set the scroller text from the contents of the file specified at option scroller_file. Refer to the comments at the top of rtgd.py. Gary On Friday, 17 March 2017 12:37:34 UTC+10, Robert Mantel wrote: > > So

So all I did was replace self.scroller_text with file('/var/tmp/fctdata').read() and that worked perfectly in the RealtimeGaugeDataThread section and it brought my text forecast back. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group. To unsubscri

I have been giving some thought as to how a user provided forecast string could be included. I run another weeWX service that pulls in textual forecast and current conditions data from WU via their API and stores selected data in another database. So given a binding and db field name I can sim

Please ignore this, I had some uncommented text that was buggering up the conf file...working good. Now I need to figure out how to get my last rain and forecase json query into your setup. For the forcast I had the following in the gauge-data.txt.tmpl: $fc=file('/var/tmp/fctdata').read().

I went through the step by step instructions to add the realtime gauges but when I start weewx I'm getting a parse error on the weewx.conf "with several errors starting at line 500". The realtime stanza was added to the end of the file should it go somewhere else? Also I set it up to create t

If you are using a driver that had a genLoopPackets() method then weeWX will be producing/processing loop packets. As far as I know that is how the fileparse driver works. Gary -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group. To unsubscribe from

Oh, maybe I can't because I'm using the fileparse extension to gather the sensor data from a text file that gets updated every two minutes with a python script running a json query to my raw sensor data server (phant server), or is the fileparse service also considered a loop packet generating

Sound like I should just install your extension, as it would provide what I need. Even though my update rate is only every 2 minutes, I guess that would be realtime enough for me. On Tuesday, 14 March 2017 19:49:33 UTC-4, gjr80 wrote: > > Hi, > > Short of going to Mark Crossley the SteelSeries

Hi, Short of going to Mark Crossley the SteelSeries Weather Gauges author and asking him directly (which I am sure he would answer, I have found him very approachable), there is no definitive definition of what the WindRoseData field is to contain. We can deduce a few things about it from vario
