did that - envoy has now forgotten the old wireless station [RESOLVED] - thanks

it has been a lot of years since the envoy was last unpowered!

Re: [weewx-user] vp2 - how to disable ch2?

[gjr80]

I don't have an Envoy but I understand it is a case of removing all power 
sources, including batteries, waiting for 10-20 seconds for any capacitance 
to discharge and then power up again. Don't know I would put the batteries 
in reverse though.

Did you find a way to connect to the Sainlogic SC088?  I have the same one

[weewx-user] Re: WDC Skin

[David Bätge]

Thank you for your feedback, very appreciated!

*Is it possible to set custom values for font and graph size, amount of 
rows and border size so everything including graphs could be made visible 
at a glance without or less scrolling?*
Currently, this is not possible. The skin uses the IBM Carbon Design 
System, so these values are more or less predefined. But you are right, 
using the space and layouting all the graphs were one of the most 
challenging parts of this. I am also not yet 100% happy with it. Perhaps I 
could predefine some "Spacing variations", like a dense one and a wide one 
for example.

*Any chance for a web version of the weather data center, so one could 
publish the visualized csv's to the web? Or even comibne it with weewx live 
data in one page? Just a thought*
Do you mean like an export Button on the Desktop Application to export all 
data as HTML pages? Well you can also use the WDC Skin with weewx and 
import all data to weewx via csv, generate the report and there you go ;)

[weewx-user] Re: Upgrade from weewx 4.6.2 to 4.8, can i use the same config file?

there are quite a few changes to the Seasons skin, but those were 
introduced in 4.6.  we made the skin more generic by parameterizing 
variables, so that it *should* adapt automatically to most sensor suites 
with most weather stations.  it is also easier to use with non-weather 
devices, such as power monitors, solar/battery monitoring, tide/river/tank 
monitoring, although there are still some corner cases to resolve for those.

this was a major change to the seasons skin.  it reduced the amount of 
code, and eliminated many of the html/cheetah copy-paste blocks.

unfortunately this is not detailed in the upgrade guide - we need to create 
the documentation for this at some point...

use 'keep my changes' if you want to manually process any differences.  in 
this case, the standard-for-the-new-release conf file will be saved so that 
you can manually compare.

use 'merge files' if you want to accept new features and options without 
reviewing them.  in this case, your customized conf file will be saved in 
case you want to manually compare or revert.

in theory you should be safe to choose either option.  new features should 
always have sane defaults, so if you use your existing config the new 
features should just work, or should be disabled by default.  changes to 
existing settings have backward-compatible syntax whenever possible - if a 
configuration option must change with no backward-compatible option, it 
will be noted in the upgrade page in the docs.  if there is change to 
behavior, that will be noted in the upgrade page.

best practice for skins is to make a copy of the skin, then make changes to 
that copy.  that way you can always easily compare to the original, and 
easily switch between the original and your modifications, or even compare 
both running at the same time.  this is true whether you modify skins that 
ship with weewx, or skins that you obtain from other sources.

best practice for data is to make a copy of your database(s) before doing 
an upgrade.  for a standard install, that means copying the 'weewx.sdb' 
sqlite database.  the installation process never touches the database, but 
it is good to keep snapshots of your data.

we work very hard to maintain backward compatibility, but sometimes we miss 
things.  so thank you for your patience.

the upgrade page in the weewx documentation lists all of the changes that 
you should consider in an upgrade.

[weewx-user] Upgrade from weewx 4.6.2 to 4.8, can i use the same config file?

[f4n...@gmail.com]

When upgrading weewx, which is the normal procedure, keep or merge files? 
Or can I just use configs that i created earlier with weewx 4.6.2?

Also, I adapted some skin confs for my sdr setup and use weewx-multi, can I 
just keep the old skin confs or are there any new values for weewx 4.8?

Just to make sure before upgrading

Thanks a lot for this skin (and the weather data visualizing app), looks

Is it possible to set custom values for font and graph size, amount of rows 
and border size so everything including graphs could be made visible at a

Any chance for a web version of the weather data center, so one could
