Hallo Günther, Now I have to know something else. you talk about adapting the wee_import? > How does that work? >
How wee_import processes/interprets your data is controlled by the import config file. As Bill points out there is a template CSV import config file provided with WeeWX, you will find it at /home/weewx/util/import/csv-example.conf or /etc/weewx/import/csv-example.conf depending on your WeeWX install type. I also wanted to ask because I didn't quite understand it with rain. WeeWX > needs the cumulative amount of rain. Wouldn't it be easier if I simply > deleted all other rain data from the table? > You can certainly delete the other rain columns in your import data if you want but there is no need, wee_import will only import data in the columns included in the field map ([[FieldMap]] stanza in the import config file) and all other columns are ignored (there is likely a small processing overhead for having the extra unused columns included but I expect this overhead would be negligible). > And the last question. You wrote that (--dry-run) can be used to test > whether everything is ok. How should I do that? > When you run wee_import you can add the --dry-run option to the command line to run the import but any saves to your archive are skipped, so in effect the import runs as normal (as configured in you import config file) but your database is left untouched. Have a read of Option --dry-run <http://weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#Option_--dry-run> in the Utilities Guide. > Sorry for the many questions. But is not quite clear ;-) > No problems, most of what you want to know is covered in the wee_import section <http://weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#wee_import_utility> of the Utilities Guide. You are interested in a CSV import whereas the wee_import section of the Utilities Guide covers imports from other sources (Weatherunderground, Cumulus etc) as well. You can skip these sections paying attention only to the Actions and options section <http://weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#Actions_and_options31> and the CSV specific sections here <http://weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#General> and here <http://weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#Importing_from_CSV_files>. If language is a problem or you just don't follow, let me know and I will put together a suitable import config file for you.
