Thanks for the updated script.  I see the code that does the multiple 
alarms.  I'll give it a try tomorrow.

 Hi,

What command are you using to run aws.py directly? If you are having import 
errors it is probably a PYTHONPATH issue, something like this should work 
(for a setup.py install):

$ PYTHONPATH=/home/weewx/bin python /home/weewx/bin/user/aws.py

Obviously the paths will need to be changed for a deb or rpm install. 

You will find this sort of arrangement (with perhaps more detailed 
instructions) used in a number of the the drivers in bin/weewx/drivers.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: alarm module - multiple alarms

[gjr80]

Hi,

There have been substantial changes to the weeWX architecture since William 
posted his code (May 2013 - circa weeWX 2.3.1). I have taken the current 
(3.7.1) example alarm.py and overlaid William's code. It is working fine 
for me under 3.7.1 but I would not say it has been extensively tested. Try 
the attached alarm_multi.py, setup instructions are in the comments at the 
start of the file, note that as this file is named alarm_multi.py you need 
to use user.alarm_multi.MyAlarm when you add it to the list of report 
services.

"""Example of how to implement multiple email alarms in weewx.

Based on the code by user William Phelps in this user group post:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/weewx-user/-IGQC3CpXAE/ItUpebyZlL8J

Modified 6 April 2017 by Gary Roderick to work under weeWX 3.7.1

***

To use this alarm, add the following to the weewx configuration file:

[Alarm]
time_wait = 3600
smtp_host = smtp.mymailserver.com
smtp_user = myusername
smtp_password = mypassword
mailto = au...@adomain.com, anotheru...@someplace.com
from = m...@mydomain.com
count = 2
expression.0 = "outTemp < 40.0"
subject.0 = "Alarm message from weewx - Low temperature!"
expression.1 = "outTemp > 90.0"
subject.1 = "Alarm message from weewx- High temperature!"

In this example, if the outside temperature falls below 40, or rises above 90,
it will send an email to the the comma separated list specified in option
"mailto", in this case au...@adomain.com, anot...@somewhere.com

The example assumes that your SMTP email server is at smtp.mymailserver.com
that requires login.  If the SMTP server does not require login, leave out the
lines for smtp_user and smtp_password.

Setting an email "from" is optional. If not supplied, one will be filled in,
but your SMTP server may or may not accept it.

Setting an email "subject" is optional. If not supplied, one will be filled in.

To avoid a flood of emails, one will only be sent every 3600 seconds (one
hour).

***

To enable this service:

1) copy this file to the user directory

2) modify the weewx configuration file by adding this service to the option
"report_services", located in section [Engine][[Services]].

[Engine]
  [[Services]]
...
report_services = weewx.engine.StdPrint, weewx.engine.StdReport, user.alarm_multi.MyAlarm

***

If you wish to use both this example and the lowBattery.py example, simply
merge the two configuration options together under [Alarm] and add both
services to report_services.

***

Thanks, fixed.

Another question: there's some code at the bottom of the driver that (I
think) lets it run independently of weewx for testing. In my case it starts
with:


if __name__ == '__main__':
> import optparse
> usage = """%prog [options] [--help]"""
> syslog.openlog('aws', syslog.LOG_PID | syslog.LOG_CONS)
> syslog.setlogmask(syslog.LOG_UPTO(syslog.LOG_DEBUG))
>

When I try to run aws.py directly though I get import errors. I'm not sure
if I should worry about it, since for example simulator.py gets an import
error too (in that case its "No module named weedb"). Is it worth looking
into? Note that I made a separate script (arduino_test.py
)
for testing the connection to the Arduino.


And last question I hope (ha who am I kidding): the Arduino is simply
reporting wind speed as calculated over the number of rotations that the
cups on the anemometer make over the last 2.5 seconds. It doesn't try to
determine wind speed and gusts separately. I see from the charts that weeWX
is calculating gusts:

[image: Inline image 1]

But when I upload to Weather Underground there's no gusts:

https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=KCASANFR1076#history

I don't imagine there's an easy fix for that?

I realize this is a very old thread, but was wondering if the problems were 
ever resolved?  I'd like to setup multiple alarms but  I get the error 
message listed for the missing "expression" variable.

Not sure what happened to my reply.  Thanks for the suggestion of running 
via command prompt.  Running that way I was able to find the correct 
variable I needed to generate the alert.  Do you know of a way to setup 
multiple alarms?  I tried the setup shown in this post:  

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/weewx-user/-IGQC3CpXAE/0dlEB2SRAAAJ;context-place=topic/weewx-user/r5or_vi5sxk

I got the same result..."No alarm set. 'expression' " error.

[Devonian]

@Chris,

Whereabouts are you in the world?

I'm in the UK and have a redundant original VP wired console and genuine 
logger (RS232/serial but missing the PC lead) you can have it all - the LCD 
leaked some time ago so it's useless, but I believe the main board etc is 
still OK?

It's yours for the price of postage.

Nigel.

[weewx-user] Re: (old) Irox usb station support

[Paul Bartholdi]

Hello,  I have also an Irox Pro X station, probably 4-5 years old (not the 
more modern X2) and use without any difficulty the TE923 driver. Previous 
versions (before 3.5 as I remember had some troubles with his driver, but 
it seems they have been solved. 3days ago I updated to 3.7.1 (.deb package) 
without any hi-cup. Nice !  
Have a good time, Paul

I've been very impressed with weeWX.  I'm a user for life.

I noticed some changes to the weewx.conf file were made since my 3.1 
version ( I was a bit behind ).  Is there any manual editing I need to do?

Most likely.

Another thing to look at is the init file for the daemon:

I wonder if this really is either a firmware problem or an actual

there's anything to see. 

Tom, thanks. Really. This has been great; thank you for your help!!

That makes more sense.

The FTP module only updates things newer than the last FTP session.
Occasionally things get messed up. To reset, delete the file #FTP.last.

discovered that all the files seem to exist, however on my WebHost the only

Good to know that it's a Davis firmware problem.

I guess one option would be to modify the driver so it takes it out of LOOP
mode every 20 seconds or so to give the VP a chance to do whatever it needs
to do.

Let me see if that's an easy patch.

> Hey Tom:

Having a day off makes this sort of stuff go a lot faster. 

I just got off the phone with Davis tech support. Their answer: Yes, the 
original VantagePro does support continuous LOOP queries. 
They have heard of this particular problem, though not with Weewx, but with 
their software. It's, apparently, a problem with the I/O in the VantagePro 
itself when the logger is reporting data, and they used to repair that 
problem. But, because it's an original Vantage, they don't service them 
anymore, so I'm stuck. 
Looks like an eBay unit is the path forward, though there's no guarantee 
that it will work any better than the one that I have. 

My sincere thanks for your help!

Everything looks normal to me.

This may be one for Davis support. The question would be: does an
old-fashioned VantagePro support continuous LOOP queries?

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Update NOAA text files

[Thomas Keffer]

That looks normal.

It shouldn't be necessary, but one other thing you can try is deleting the
NOAA subdirectory. It, and its contents, will be recreated. If this works,
I'm gonna have to figure out why...

OK as you suggested I ran the command with a result of 2010-07-26 12.35.00 
which is much what I expected.

Log with debug=1 attached, I only see an error relating to a missing .tmpl

No rush, I'm out for the bulk of the afternoon.

Re: [weewx-user] Update NOAA text files

[Thomas Keffer]

First, check the earliest timestamp in your archive (adjust path as
necessary):

echo "select datetime(min(dateTime),'unixepoch','localtime') from archive;"
| sqlite3 /home/weewx/archive/weewx.sdb


See if that's what you expect.

Second, the log, especially with debug=1. would be useful.

[weewx-user] Update NOAA text files

[Bill M]

I've recently migrated from WView and have everything working as expected 
except the only NOAA-MM. txt & NOAA-.txt files being generated are 
those for the current Month/Year
The historical ones going back to mid 2010 have not been generated.

Question is there a way to force them to be created or have I missed 
something?

[weewx-user] nonlinear yscale options - do they exist?

[Messy Potamia]

For one of my parameters I'd like a nonlinear y-axis on it's plot, I think 
a logarithmic scale is what I'm looking for (0 - 12, with 0 - 4 taking up 
half of the vertical space, then decreasing exponentially to about 12 ... 
that's a logarithmic or exponential scale?) but in checking the 
customization guide I can't find any mention of a nonlinear y-axis scale, 
and I tried looking in genplot.py for a hint but found none there. 
Is this possible with the stock 3.6.2?

[weewx-user] Re: Air quality sensors?

[Horacio]

Hello Yves

If the unit sends data via USB port and if it's record format is not too 
complex, It could be possible to write a service program to get data.

This is a cheaper CO2 sensor but you'll need a MCU like an Arduino between 
the sensor and your PC.

I hope this helps you

Re: [weewx-user] Weewx | Davis Vantage Pro | ISS dropping out

[Thomas Keffer]

It's quite possible you are the first person to try Weewx with a VantagePro.

I know you think there are no errors in the log, but you should still post
it. There can be valuable clues in there.

Also, run wee_device with the --info option.

Without the log, I'm just theorizing, but it's possible the old-fashioned
VantagePro does not respond well to the LOOP command, which is what weewx

[weewx-user] Weewx | Davis Vantage Pro | ISS dropping out

[RedShoeRider]

Good Afternoon, All:

I have a head-scratcher that despite beating the heck out of Google, I 
can't find an answer.

The Hardware:
Davis Vantage Pro (not the Pro2) running wired to the ISS
Davis Serial Datalogger connection
Dell Desktop box with a serial port
Weewx / SQL database / SofaSkin skin

The site it feeds: www.plnjweather.com


The Problem:
At random times, the ISS connection drops out (an "R" on the display), but 
only if I have weewx running. If I halt the process, the Davis will 
function normally for a week at a time. With Weewx running, anywhere from 2 
minutes to 4 hours later, the ISS drops out. It's not just a data drop 
going to the logger; the Davis display shows "---" for all of the ISS 
inputs (outside temperature, wind, etc). 

To make matter weriderthis behavior is very reproduceable. I originally 
had this setup running on a Raspberry Pi with a USB interface. It did it 
then. I switched to a desktop box with the USB interface. Same thing. Now 
switching to a serial interface (I purchased a serial Davis Datalogger from 
eBay), it's STILL doing the same thing. New installations of weewx, 
different config setups, etc. There are no errors in the log file, even 
with the verbose setting turned on in weewx. The problem seems to be coming 
from the Davis itself, but how on earth would the datalogger hang up the 
entire unit? And two different loggers, to boot?

So.suggestions/ideas/thoughts/whatever. I've about run out of ideas and 
spent more than a bit of time trying to hunt though this problem with no 
luck, sowhat say everyone (besides "go get a Pro2"). :)

Thank you!
-Chris

Sounds like a challenge - I might just add that to my list! :)

Thanks again for your great.

the 'driver' parameter tells weewx where to find the driver.  your weewx 
config should have this:

[AWS]
driver = user.aws

Well, it's nearly a month now,  and I still cannot reply in the positive.

I have posted the command sequence to the development mailing list, but, 
when I tried to implement it in the weewx driver on a buffer 70 to 80% 
full, the console has ignored me.

Other bits I have since found:

   - the console will not clear the buffer (even for the Windows s/w) when 
   it is very low (I do not know the lower limit)
   - The windows s/w has cleared the buffer from completely full (0x7fe0) , 
   as well as the high byte being 0x33 and 0x6e

Now that I have used Windows s/w to clear the buffer, I am going to have to 
repeatedly test that until I know how small a buffer will clear.
Then I will have to wait for it to build up again to try with the weewx 
code.

Thanks hugely for this tip. The driver code I was starting with had clearly
been repurposed a few times and was a bit of a mess. Once I took your
advice and restructured it everything started working perfectly.
