Hi Gary,

Thanks for your detailed analysis, I will delve further into the 
Belchertown configuration.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Belchertown error in log about lightning

[gjr80]

>From what you provide the Ecowitt gateway driver is performing as expected 
and I don't believe lightning_strike_count being None has anything to do 
with your Belchertown problem.

The Ecowitt gateway API provides lightning count as a cumulative value (and 
since WeeWX requires a per-period value), the driver calculates WeeWX field 
lightning_strike_count by taking the difference between successive 
cumulative lightning count values. When the driver is first started there 
is no previous value, and consequently the driver cannot calculate 
lightning_strike_count, so it returns the value None and that is what 
appears in the first loop packet (remember None means a sensor exists but 
WeeWX could not get valid data). This behaviour is identical to that for 
WeeWX field rain in almost all drivers. Subsequent loop packets include a 
numeric value, in your case 0, when the driver is run directly and again 
when WeeWX is run directly. In the archive records generated by WeeWX the 
initial loop packet None value has no effect and the archive record 
lightning_strike_count value is calculated (by WeeWX) as the sum of the 
loop packet values seen during the archive period (None values are 
effectively ignored). 

Whilst I don't use the Belchertown skin, as far as I can tell the 
Belchertown skin does not update plots with loop packet data, rather it 
updates plots with archive record data. Also, if you look at the error 
message in your first post, the error is generated when the Belchertown 
skin is obtaining archive record data; nothing to do (directly) with loop 
packet data. Both of these point to the issue being a mis-configuration in 
the Belchertown skin config file or the [StdReport] [[Belchertown]] stanza 
in weewx.conf.

Re: [weewx-user] Problems with weewx on MacOS

[Tom Keffer]

By default, V4.10.2 does not include a 'rotate' logging handler. It has to
be added.

By any chance, do you have a [Logging] section in weewx.conf? If so, what
does it say?

Re: [weewx-user] FTP Skin weewx - not synchronize a particular file

[Tom Keffer]

Not an unreasonable request, but at this point there is no way to do that.

What you can do is put the counter file and weewx files in separate
directories, then FTP only the latter.

[weewx-user] Problems with weewx on MacOS

[seano...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have done many successful installations of weewx on raspberry pi and I 
previously installed weewx on MacOS successfully. About a month ago, the 
MacOS station stopped reporting so I have been troubleshooting it. I can't 
figure out what is going on because I am very poor with python. Can anyone 
give me any suggestions? I have tried to remove and reinstall python3 using 
brew - currently version 3.10.8 is running when I type 'python3 --version'.

I also updated weewx to 4.10.2 and from what i can see everything is 
installed and working, including all dependencies. But still when I 
run 'sudo python3 ./bin/weewxd weewx.conf' I get python errors. Please can 
someone see below and give me any suggestions? Thank you

Do you see lightning data in the Ecowitt WSView Plus or WS View apps?

Yes
Stop then restart WeeWX, let WeeWX run for at least two full archive

, this will 
show loop packet (LOOP:) and archive record (REC:) data on the

weewx log output attached and in there I see 'lightning_strike_count':

But running the gw1000 driver via PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/weewx/ python3 
-m user.gw1000 --test-driver shows...


 'lightning_strike_count': 'None'

See logs attached for both.

Re: [weewx-user] FTP Skin weewx - not synchronize a particular file

[Remy LAVABRE]

Thanks for your reply Tom.
Yes the FTP skin transfers all files from the Apache WEEWX server to an
external server such as a site host for example.
The problem is for example when there is a HTML page view counter text
file. That of the main server if it changes overwrites that of the mirror
server... To avoid this, would it be possible to provide in the skin.conf
configuration file of the FTP skin a list of files not to be copied in FTP?
Thanks Tom
