David, Variable archive intervals have been supported since weeWX v3.0.0, though I believe there was a display/report calculation bug that was addressed in 3.7.0 (of course we are all running 3.8.0 so neither of these should be an issue :))
One thing to be mindful of when using wee_import to import data is that when you are deriving the archive interval from the source data (ie finding the difference between successive timestamps) missing records can skew this significantly. A single missing record in a data set with an interval of 5 minutes will likely have negligible effect but if you have several hours or days missing it may be a different matter. For this reason when importing from WeatherUnderground if your WeatherUndergroud data was posted every 10 minutes it is quite often handy to force wee_import to use a 10 minute archive interval as WeatherUnderground often does not return all available data, plus it is not unusual for users to have large gaps in their WeatherUnderground data. If you have a changing archive interval in your data and are concerned about data gaps, it might be useful to break the import down into smaller chunks that use a single archive interval and import that data with a set rather derived interval. Gary PS. If there is significant reformatting required to import the ex-WeatherLink data I am happy to put together a WeatherLink module for wee_import, I will just need to know the data format. Only thing is it will take time for me to put the module together, though I guess your old data is not going anywhere :) On Friday, 13 April 2018 01:16:54 UTC+10, Andrew Milner wrote: > > As far as I know the latest version of weewx casn handle variable > intervals- so just let wee_import derive the interval from the time stamps* > should* work (I think!!) > > someone more knowledgeable maywish to comment .... > > > > On Thursday, 12 April 2018 17:59:03 UTC+3, dhin...@djhindley.com wrote: > >> The import facility looks like the right way to go - but unfortunately my >> source data has variable archive intervals.
