Actually I will run my getrain.py as a service so all I will need to do is access the ramdisk. Nev On Monday, May 25, 2020 at 3:58:17 PM UTC+10, Neville Davis wrote: > > I have managed to hack owget.py to output directly to a csv file I create > in a ramdisk...and I get this by not entering

I have managed to hack owget.py to output directly to a csv file I create in a ramdisk...and I get this by not entering any arguments..so a simple call to to owget.py. Using this csv I will pull the data into my main sensor reading file.. The csv holds the correct data but I get some extra

I have almost everything working in version 4, all my i2C modules are detected wind sensors air-conditioning data etc all except my 1wire rain system. Everything is setup for python 3 so I understand from other posts of the issue with python-ow. I installed ow-server and pyownet and I get this

You did a setup.py install so just install 3.9.1 over the top. The user directory won't be touched and of course backup your data. Might be worthwhile looking at the log rather than the abbreviated systemctl view, the last part of the systemctl output tells me nothing, there almost certainly

Well done those edits that problem with my driver cleared others have happened. I then tried to run on simulator and I get *●* weewx.service - LSB: weewx weather system Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/weewx) Active: *active (exited)* since Thu 2020-05-21 16:20:37 AEST; 1h 9min ago

Like I said I can't explain why this error would not come up with the same driver under 3.9.1,I just checked the 3.9.1 documentation/code and hardware_name was mandatory. In any case easy fixed, you just need something like this in your driver class: @property def hardware_name(self):

It doesn't need to be anything flash, just needs to implemented and return a string. You will find heaps of examples in the drivers in the weewx/drivers directory. Gary On Thursday, 21 May 2020 15:45:37 UTC+10, Neville Davis wrote: > > Ok I will look into it I have had the system running for a

Ok I will look into it I have had the system running for a few years the last software update was to 3.9.1 when it came out...Its been some time since I visited my software about time i did it again. Thanks for the info. Nev On Thursday, May 21, 2020 at 2:51:39 PM UTC+10, Neville Davis wrote:

[weewx-user] Re: upgrade from 3.9.1 to 4 failed

Yes, the problem is that your driver has not implemented the hardware_name property. You will find it mentioned in the Implement the driver section of the Customization Guide. I cannot explain why the same driver worked under 3.9.1

Well that was it for that problem weewx installed but now I have a lot of red on status report. My station is a home brew using i2C and other sensors this is reporting a hardware naming error ?? st login: Thu May 21 14:42:32 2020 from 192.168.0.54 *pi@raspberrypi*:*~ $* sudo systemctl status

Hi, Looks like you need to install the python module configobj. How you do that will depend on whether you are running WeeWX under python2 or python3. I suspect you will be running under python 3 so use: $ sudo apt install python3-configobj if not under python2 use: $ sudo apt install
