UPDATE: Changed by weewx,conf file to read: [Vantage] ... # Use LOOP2 data in order to get access to wind_chill loop_request = 2
Restarted weewx After only an hour or so, I saw that my console was reporting wind-chill that was 2 to 3 degrees lower than outside temp, but the weewx graph showed no difference. Checked the syslog file today, and at the time of the restart found the following odd statement: 16:40:18 raspberrypi weewx[30378]: wxcalculate: The following values will be calculated: barometer=prefer_hardware, windchill=prefer_hardware, dewpoint=prefer_hardware, appTemp=prefer_hardware, rainRate=prefer_hardware, windrun=prefer_hardware, heatindex=prefer_hardware, maxSolarRad=prefer_hardware, humidex=prefer_hardware, pressure=prefer_hardware, inDewpoint=prefer_hardware, ET=prefer_hardware, altimeter=prefer_hardware, cloudbase=prefer_hardware It seems odd that weewx would report it is calculating values that have been set to 'prefer_hardware', plus I only used that for five parameters, and weewx is reporting it has been set for several more. So now I have two issues: 1. How can I tell whether LOOP2 packets ate being used (the graph indicates they are not) 2. Why is weewx reporting it is calculating values that have been set to 'prefer_hardware'?
