Be careful! Pat was correct when he said OWM does not support alerts. The 
alerts in OWM are not at all the same as alerts in DarkSky which are 
textual time-sensitive messages that are relayed from the local weather 
service that warn of severe weather of some kind.

Even if OWM had the same kind of alerts as DarkSky, the free plan only 
allows for 50 API calls a day compared to over 1000 for DarkSky. So if you 
poll the forecast API once an hour to get forecast data, that only leaves 
26 API calls for alerts which means polling for them only once an hour 
which is not often enough for time-sensitive information.

However, the OWM alert API is to implement custom triggers so one can be 
alerted when certain weather conditions change beyond a certain 
user-defined threshold such as for temperature or wind, etc. The API does 
not return textual alert messages from the local weather service the way 
DarkSky does.

In any case, when and if alerts are supported, they should be checked in a 
more timely manner than forecasting data. However, some alerts are so 
time-sensitive that several minutes can mean life or death. So alerts 
should show some disclaimer that they may be delayed and not to rely on the 
site for critical weather information and decision making.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Changes with Belchertown skin & DarkSky

[Xant]

Thinking forward, it can be more than an "replacement" to DarkSky alerts... 
it can be "an evolution"!

The owner of PWS anywhere in the World already knows the weather pattern 
more than anybody else... so, with OWM triggers, one would make their 
weather conditions to send alerts, not depending of ANY global weather 
agency or their pattern... one would create their own... independent, 
anywhere/globally.

Also as posted, in the near future OWM will even implement send push 
notifications (and WeeWX/Belchertown will be ready).

It hurts to see alerts to go... the above can be the next step, evolution.

[Xant]

Ok... so, what about OWM "triggers" (which OWM calls "alerts"), and its 
also available to all services - free, included.

We invite you to try our new product - the weather alerts which are based 
on our meteorological data.
Now you can use simple syntax and a few API methods to create triggers 
which will fire on an occurrence of the selected weather conditions 
(temperature, humidity, pressure, etc.) in a specified period of time
If the trigger's conditions are met, our service will generate an alert. In 
order to receive this alert you need to poll the service with the specified 
time interval. We plan to add push notifications and new data sources to 
this product's functionality in the nearest future.

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

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 
 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  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 
 and the CSV 
specific sections here  and 
here .
 
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.

[weewx-user] Re: Weather station GARNI 935PC - compatibility with Weewx?

[Bob Atchley]

Hi Pavel,

I'm glad the WS6in1 driver is  working for you.  

I know how to add the extra sensor outputs  - but I don't have any extra 
sensors so can't test it.  I will make the changes and let you know when 
its complete, but I will have to rely on you testing that the correct 
values are returned.
I do not have any information on how to set the time on the console, 
although I know this is supported by the provided official software.  Could 
you provide details of just this if possible. 

thanks

Bob

Re: [weewx-user] Too many NOAA reports

[Thomas Keffer]

I'm not familiar with the Belchertown skin, but if it works like other
skins, the NOAA reports are generated from the earliest timestamp in the
database to the last timestamp.

So, you must have a very early timestamp in your database.

[weewx-user] NOAA Reports OK but also loads of blanks

[Duncan Wilson]

Hi, I am running Weewx 3.9.1 with Belchertown Skin 1.0. The NOAA reports 
are running fine (since Feb 2017) but the page also shows a long list back 
to Jan 2000 of links to files which all have the template but no values 
(since there was no weather station). I have chased my tail for a couple of 
hours trying to find a setting that might dictate how many months of NOAA 
reports are generated but without luck. I tried deleting the empty .txt 
NOAA files from the web server but they were regenerated at the next report 
cycle.

Any suggestions for what to look at next?

[weewx-user] Re: Weather station GARNI 935PC - compatibility with Weewx?

[Pavel Pavlik]

Hi Bob,

Thanks a lot for the driver. I have the same weather station connected to 
rasbperry and it works well. Just missing two things, automatic time 
adjustment of the display clock and the extra sensors outputs (ch1 - ch7) - 
if these were there in the weewx output, this station could be used as the 
all-room-in-the-house temperature and humidity data collector for (not 
even) domoticz home automation system I use. I would like to ask you for 
help. I am not a programmer but have some info about the API of the 
station. If you want, I will send it to you, just please give me your email 
address, I do not want to spread the documentation publicly. My email is 
radiomater...@gmail.com.

Thank you again and wish you a nice day.

Pavel
