I also am interested in how I can backfill.

Re: [weewx-user] Fine Offset WH1080 Transmitter Spare or New WS?

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

I replaced mine with a 'Waldbeck Halley' which is a WH2650 clone. More 
robust sensors, it has a tiny solar panel so no changing of batteries, and 
no need to run a USB cable from the base station to the Pi. It uses the 
GW1000 driver, and the base station connects via wifi to your home network.

Re: [weewx-user] Wind Color Belchertown

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

As a general note, 'if . else if .' should finish with 'else', not 
'else if'.  With my previous weather station I got some strange readings, 
and your code - ending in 'else if' rather than 'else' - wouldn't match 
some values leading to deformed HTML being generated.

I found the answer, which is that apparently NOAA_table = noaa_table.

[weewx-user] wee_reports timestamp format

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

The help is as follows:

$ wee_reports --help
Usage: wee_reports: [config_file] [timestamp] [--config=CONFIG_FILE] 
[--help]

Run all reports defined in the specified configuration file. Use this 
utility
to run reports immediately instead of waiting for the end of an archive
interval.

Options:
  -h, --helpshow this help message and exit
  --config=CONFIG_FILE  Use the configuration file CONFIG_FILE

But I have no idea, and it doesn't give a clue, nor does the documentation, 
about what format a timestamp should be in.

[weewx-user] NOAA_table

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

I'm struggling to understand how $NOAA_table works - how it gets called 
from a template.  I'm looking at Belchertown and it simply has $NOAA_table 
where the NOAA stuff is to appear.

I have a DokuWiki with information from WeeWx.  Mostly it's simply as it's 
just images, but there is a Weather & NOAA Statistics page which is 
generated by a template.

There is no problem until it comes to the NOAA stuff, and the problem there 
is all that is in the template at present is this - the first line is a 
DokuWiki heading:

= NOAA Data =

$NOAA_table


And as implied, NOAA_table generates HTML.  I want to provide my own 
version that generates DokuWiki format. 

The current arrangement also leaves the links displayed with styling for 
external links rather than links pages in the namespace.

I want my own code in a new file (dokuwiki_noaa.py for example) so I don't 
have to worry if/when I upgrade WeeWx.  I can see where the current code 
that generates the NOAA table is, but I don't understand how it works 
enough to change it.

Sorry I don't know what the previous firmware was but I brought and set 
this station up in late March this year, so it would have had whatever was 
current then and so is the GW1000 driver on the other Pi.

So I can only conclude that the older driver is OK with both firmware 
versions, but the newer driver doesn't work with the older firmware.

Current firmware is WH2650A_V1.6.8

You got the correct IP,

Re: [weewx-user] Problems connecting with GW1000 driver

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

The other Pi has no problems communicating with the GW1000, and I can't 
find any relevant settings in the router.   The only reference to ports are 
passing 80 & 443 from the outside to the Pi where WeeWx is working.

No problem using rcp to copy files between the two RPis.

They all have ssh turned on, and I access the command line via putty - none 
of them have a GUI.

There is another Pi on the network running Pi-Hole and setting that up last 
week didn't stop the other WeeWx Pi from accessing the GW1000.  Again, I've 
looked through the setup and can't see anything that might be relevant.  
(there are 4 RPis - Pi-Hole, WeeWx live & test, & a WWW server for the 
WeeWx data.  The generated files are FTP's to it by WeeWx).

What is the best way to check what ports the problem Pi has open and/or if 
that's the problem?  

If the default RPi OS setup has them all open by default then that's what I 
have.

[weewx-user] Problems connecting with GW1000 driver

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

I'm moving my WeeWx back to the right Pi, but with up-to-date Pi OS, WeeWx 
and GW1000 driver.  Versions are:

WeeWX 4.5.1
GW1000 0.4.1
Raspbian 5.10.63-v7+

I have another Pi working quite happily picking up data via the GW1000 
driver, so I don't think there's a problem there.

I've following the instructions at GIT to install it using wee_extension but 
when I try to test it I get:

$ PYTHONPATH=/home/weewx/bin python -m user.gw1000 --test-driver
Using configuration file /home/weewx/weewx.conf

Unable to connect to device: Failed to detect device IP address and/or port 
after 3 attempts

So I've run this:
$ PYTHONPATH=/home/weewx/bin python -m user.gw1000 --sensors --debug=3

And this is in /var/log/debug:

No idea what the problem is.  I have a feeling I might have had this 
problem previously and documented it, but I've managed to lose that 
document - if it ever existed.  :(

Re: [weewx-user] New weather station UK

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

Fantastic, got it working on the test system.  Now I'm using it all is 
clear - that the base station becomes a device in it's own right on the 
network, with it's own IP number.

Now I turned off the previous weather station yesterday, and have only just 
got the new one working so I have some ugly straight lines on the output.

What might be the best way of filling those in, or isn't it worth doing?  
There is a weather station just down the road that might be happy to pass 
their data for the relevant  few hours.

Re: [weewx-user] WH2650 clone problems

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

Thanks,  I knew I'd seen something about this but forgot about the other 
forum. 

That worked, but what a horrible method!  A better way (in my view) would 
be it picks up the network itself and has an inbuilt HTTP server for any 
further configuration.  I guess the prevalence of mobile devices is 
affecting things, adversely IMHO - a mobile device is perfectly capable of 
picking up data from an IP address...

I've given it a static IP, cycled the power and it's back on the network 
with the right static IP.  The new IP also shows in WS View and on looking 
though the screens in WS View it looks like I have some new data to play 
with, plus humidity looks about right so I imagine the dew point will be.

Now to implement connecting to it from WeeWx...

So my WH2650 clone eventually arrived and is installed in the garden.  
However  can't get the base station to connect to my router.  I've plugged 
it in, it's connected to indoor & outdoor sensors but the WiFi light 
continues to flash rapidly.  I've turned off the 5GHz Wifi, I've got the WS 
Tool app.  And the App won't let me put the SSID in either.  If just has 
''.  

However I see what is meant by better sensors etc.

Should have done this bit before I turned off the old one.

Re: [weewx-user] New weather station UK

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

Hi

Sorry about the name!

Been for a walk and a think, and worked out what you are telling me.  The 
consoles no longer have USB, and the station in the garden can connect to a 
console and/or a GW1000. I can plug a G1000 into my Pi and use a driver in 
the way I'm used to.

I'm not interested in a console, the current one is completely hidden.

So it's off to shop.  The GW1000 - presumably exclusive to FineOffset 
clones.

Re: [weewx-user] New weather station UK

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

Thanks Bob, very useful.  But I'm getting lost when you mention needing a 
GW1000 as well as a weather station with console?  Have I misunderstood?  
As you can tell since my current station is a WH1080 I've not kept my eye 
on new stations at all.  I started running with WeeWx in Oct 2012 which is 
a long time ago!

I think my problem is I have no idea how the new stuff hangs together, it 
certainly seems that plugging the console into the USB port on a Pi isn't 
what happens these days.

[weewx-user] Re: Tiny letters despite font being installed

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

It healed up.  I saw small letters, remembered to install the fonts and I'm 
not sure that was picked up until I restarted - I restarted the whole Pi.

[weewx-user] Tiny letters despite font being installed

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

My skin uses FreeMonoBold.ttf:

skins/Images/skin.conf:top_label_font_path = 
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoBold.ttf
skins/Images/skin.conf:unit_label_font_path = 
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoBold.ttf
skins/Images/skin.conf:bottom_label_font_path = 
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoBold.ttf
skins/Images/skin.conf:axis_label_font_path = 
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoBold.ttf
skins/Images/skin.conf:rose_label_font_path = 
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoBold.ttf

It's installed:
pi@muchtyweather:/home/weewx $ ls -l 
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoBold.ttf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 300848 Jan 21  2019 
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoBold.ttf

But I have miniscule letters in the graphs:
*http://muchty-weather.org.uk/weather/day.html*

It was OK on the test Pi and I coped /home/weewx across preserving the 
permissions.  Where have I gone wrong?

Re: [weewx-user] New weather station UK

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

At some point these newer clones with the newer sensors are going to have 
to be tried.  A lot of Googling using the makes mentioned in the 
documentation failed to reveal any clones of the older stations - they were 
all 'unavailable'.  Whether I am the person to do that is a different 
question!

Hmmm  I wonder if this will work?  Looks like a FineOffset WS2085

Re: [weewx-user] New weather station UK

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

So any suggestions?

Lots of Bresser &  Youshiko  stations on the Internet, but I've no idea if 
any work with WeeWx - in other words if any of them are FineOffset clones.

[weewx-user] New weather station UK

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

I think it might be time to replace my weather station as a number of 
sensors are not working as they should, and replacements are now expensive.

I'm looking for a FineOffset as I'm currently using an old Maplins as a 
WH1080, one that uses the same sensors would do me another 10 years.

Or

Would this do the trick?

I reported an issue with the Days of rain table which turned out to be

always being more than 50 days of rain per year where I live.  I've put my

Re: [weewx-user] Bootstrap skin update preview

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

I found the answer when I looked at the code for WeeWx v4.4.0.  Old code 
simply has:

import Image

This needs amending to:

try:
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw
except ImportError:
import Image, ImageDraw

I had old code on a newly build SD card.

Re: [weewx-user] Bootstrap skin update preview

I see the colour on first cell only problem is fixed, I like the new 
images. I'll give it a go.

BTW I had problems installing an earlier version as:

   1. import Image cause an error, and the way to resolve it (apt-get) in 
   the FAQ didn't work on a brand new Raspbian installation.  I suspect 
   systems that have been upgraded already had the necessary library.  This

   2. Again probably because I started with a new Raspbian image, I didn't 
   have the necessary font loaded.  I put my solution to this in 'issues'.

I've got a spare SD card, I think I might start over to install this as 
I've messed around somewhat.  I copied the database over from my live 
system to get realistic data rather than turn on the simulator.

Re: [weewx-user] Customising NOAATable

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

Got around to looking at this, and it was easy thanks to your help.  
Instead of 'return cellText' I used 'return cellText.replace(".txt", "")'

My Python is almost non-existent, but my moderate C# was handy.  :)

Re: [weewx-user] Customising NOAATable

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

I'm using the Bootstrap skin which has $NOAATable which generates the 
layout I want. but not quite the code.  That's what I'm asking about - 
$NOAATable in the Bootstrap skin.

I wanted to find the $NOAATable source rather than start from scratch.  

Otherwise, I have custom Javascript in the Wiki, I have the drop-down way 
of displaying a NOAA-.txt etc. working in the DokuWiki page, my NOAA 
files are being correctly generated.

mustn't include it so they fit the DokuWiki way of doing things.  By 
default they do and I can't find where that code is generated to amend it.

[weewx-user] Customising NOAATable

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

I much prefer the output of NOAATable for making the NOAA reports available.

However my template where I want this to appear is creating a Dokuwiki 
Page, so if the name in the link ends with '.txt' it looks for a file 
ending in '.txt.txt'.

I have it working with the drop-downs as per the header in the Standard 
website by not appending the '.txt' in the Javascript that loads the page.

What I'd like to do is customise NOAATable so the link is missing the 
'.txt' - I'd rather not write my own version of it if possible.

But I've searched & searched and can't find where & how it's implemented.

[weewx-user] Re: Fixing my database

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

Ah I think I understand now.  

After a poke around looking at the .py files, I think I need to update 
archive.rain for one row for that date, then run wee_database 
--rebuild_daily for the date range I've altered.

And I need to make sure I update just one row in Archive for the date, not 
all of them!  I have a row every 5 minutes, so the one for 12:00:00 seems 
appropriate.  I can check before I try the update to make sure they all 
exists.  Still like the idea of using the Excel with the data from the 
other site to build the correct SQL.

[weewx-user] Re: Fixing my database

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

Thanks.

I need to go back to late November.  

I've found out how to get the date & time from the dateTime column.  :)

But is it just archive_day_rain.sum I need to update?

The weather station is one of the FineOffset ones, does this do rain rate?  
I always assumed it was calculated.  But if fixing the rain & running 
weewx_database will fix it that will be great.

Looks like I need to read up weewx_database.  I can pick up the external 
data and put it in Excel which will let me build the SQL statements.  And 
yes, I will stop weewx and take a copy of weewx.sdb before I start changing 
data!

[weewx-user] Fixing my database

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

I've finally sorted out my rain gauge, but now I need to backfill the 
rainfall data.  There is a station near enough to me to use their data, but 
I could do with some guidance about what needs updating in my database, and 
if I need to run anything afterwards.  I used SQL for years in the day job 
so no problems there.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Update from v3.6.2 to v3.9.2

It changed the units in my weewx.conf!  I've changed them back but it was a

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Update from v3.6.2 to v3.9.2

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

Update was so easy, all I wanted was a wget command to bring the .tar.gz 
file down to the RPi - instead I copied it across from my PC.  Shutdown at 
13:43, a bit of thinking, copying & following instructions, restart at 
13:59.

Now to try the Belchertown skin...

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

Think doing some RTFM answered my question.  It looks like I can install on 
top and run 'wee_database --update' and all should be well.  

Maybe I should keep more up-to-date with new versions of WeeWx, not to 
mention new versions of Raspberian!

[weewx-user] Update from v3.6.2 to v3.9.2

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

I've not updated the Pi running Weewx for quite some time hence it's on 
what's now quite an old version, 3.6.2.

Are there any gotchas about upgrading to the latest version?  I will of 
course take a backup first!

[weewx-user] Re: 24-hour aggregate?

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

OK great for the past 24 hours.

Is there anything to choose between (e.g.) '$span($week_delta=1)' and '$week', 
given I'm not offering max/min etc. for the past 2 weeks for example?

[weewx-user] 24-hour aggregate?

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask.

I'd like 24-hour aggregates / max / min rather than today or yesterday.  Is 
this something that might come along?

Thanks, I compared it's weewx.conf to the one from my own, working, station 
and found I'd missed a couple of rows from the [FineOffsetUSB] section.

It looks like the RPi has 'seen' the weather station:

USB Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

The weather station is an Aercus WS2083 which is on the list of devices.  
Operating System is the latest Stretch Lite.

Nothing of interest in /var/log/debug:

Oct 20 13:09:26 sgcweather weewx[508]: engine: Debug is 1
Oct 20 13:09:26 sgcweather weewx[508]: engine: Initializing engine


It worked fine with the Simulator...

That would be terrific if you could.  No massive rush as the weather 
station that was blown away back in September hasn't been replaced yet - 
it's an insurance job as half the roof of the building it was on went as 
well.  :o

Thanks for the link to the code, but I've never coded in Python in my life

Is there anything for WeeWx which will produce a graph similar to this one?

Not worried about the colour coding for recency, just wanting the dots on

And having found and corrected my error in editing one of it's skin.conf 
files, it's working just fine with the Simulator.

Ah ha!  thanks.  Why on earth does the documentation suggest install points 
to the directory containing the .tar.gz rather than the .gar.gz itself?  
And why didn't I think of that?  :)

Now to make it work...

[weewx-user] Cannot install brewster76/Fuzzy-Archer

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

 

I’d like to use the gauges for a weather station I’m setting up, but am 
having problems installing the download in 
*https://github.com/brewster76/fuzzy-archer/archive/v2.23.tar.gz* 
.

 

I installed WeeWx myself so it’s in /home/weewx.  I downloaded 
fuzz-archer-2.23.tar.gz it in /tmp where it’s the only .tar.gz file.

 

When I attempt to run the installation script I end up with an error:

 

$ pwd

/home/weewx

 

$ ls /tmp/*gz

/tmp/fuzzy-archer-2.23.tar.gz

 

$ bin/wee_extension --install=/tmp

Request to install '/tmp'

[weewx-user] UK Replacement hardware

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

The weather station on the roof of the gliding club was blown away along 
with some of the roof last week.

Wondering what to best replace it with that will work with WeeWX.  Looking 
for mid-to-low price, but replacement sensors must be available.  We are in 
the UK so looking for a UK supplier.

[weewx-user] Re: Amending spurious readings in the database

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

The colour coding makes it easier (for me) to spot the days with rogue data 
although sorting the data by (say) windspeed is another say to find it and 
yes, I realise what I need to do to find the values.  I put the spreadsheet 
up to show people what I was seeing.

My question was if this is a sign of sensors reaching the end of their 
life, given most of the rogue values have occurred since the start of March 
this year.

[weewx-user] Re: Amending spurious readings in the database

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

Thanks, the backfill in progress and I have a feeling my weather station 
might have problems as it's clear the erroneous readings have greatly 
increased.

I have a question about the QC.  It's clear what the temperature values 
(for example) should be, but rain is a cumulative thing, so over what 
period of time?  I'm guessing between readings, but to me that doesn't make 
sense with a default QC value of 60 inches!

There is no way there has been a wind speed of 128.9 knots!

I can't remember how to fix these, nor can I remember if there is a setup 
somewhere to reject readings outside the parameters.

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

Well the last restart has fixed it with nothing else being done!  

The generated page is visible via the Pi's web server, and it's uploading 
to the other PC which serves it to the wider web.  Wunderground reports I 
am back on line as well, so it is looking good.

http://muchty-weather.org.uk/weather/

(I don't put wind direction data on as due to the location of the sensors 
it's meaningless)

Think the initial problem was not being hot plug the Pi.  I was keen to 
switch to wifi having found the problems I did have with it are resolved in 
latest version of the Pi OS to get rid of the Homeplug and it's cable.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Replacing the Raspberry Pi

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

The weather station is in exactly the same place.  The Pi is in a slightly 
different one, I'm not using a hub as this is one of the newer Pis with 4 
USB ports - the old Pi had one but I was using a wired network via a 
Powerlink plug.

However I can switch back to the Powerlink...

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Replacing the Raspberry Pi

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

Could switching to a wifi dongle cause enough interference to be a 
problem?  Otherwise it's almost exactly as it's been for 4 years.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Replacing the Raspberry Pi

The penny has dropped that I had the new RPi uploading to a different 
folder on the web server.  The one it will use when running live of course 
has it's NOAA folder complete!  It doesn't matter if it's incomplete on the 
RPi.

*"I'm going to try copying the entire /home/weewx tree to the new RPi and 
then use setup.py to upgrade there, and see how it goes."*

That seems to work including the Ftp (I had passwd not password!), so I 
will stop the old Pi, take another copy etc. and put it on the new Pi and 
take it from there.  However I do also need to copy the NOAA directory to 
the web server that the Internet sees.

[weewx-user] Re: Ftp not requested

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

Here you go - I copied it over from the other RPi which works.  The service 
has been restarted several times since last editing this part of the 
config.  When I was doing it originally I had problems which however 
created error messages that let me work out what the issue was:

[[FTP]]
# FTP'ing the results to a webserver is treated as just another 
report,
# albeit one with an unusual report generator!
skin = Ftp
# If you wish to use FTP, uncomment and fill out the next four 
lines.
#user = replace with the ftp username
user=
#password = replace with the ftp password
passwd=
#server = replace with the ftp server name, e.g, www.threefools.org
server=192.168.x.x
#path = replace with the ftp destination directory (e.g., /weather)
path=

[weewx-user] Ftp not requested

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

Getting the following on my newer RPi with Weewx 3.6.2:

Dec  9 10:45:25 weather2 weewx[26990]: reportengine: Found configuration 
file /home/weewx/skins/Ftp/skin.conf for report FTP
Dec  9 10:45:25 weather2 weewx[26990]: reportengine: FTP upload not 
requested. Skipped.

Very puzzled as the details for Ftp in weewx.conf are the same as on the 
one which is working.  

FTP is installed:

pi@weather2:~ $ type ftp
ftp is /usr/bin/ftp

[weewx-user] Replacing the Raspberry Pi

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

I realised that not only am I running an old (2.7) version of Weewx, the 
RPi it's on is short of room on the SD card - it's an old B model with an 
SD card.

I had a B+ Pi doing nothing (Micro SD card, 4 USB ports) so I put the 
latest Raspberrian on an 8GB card and then installed Weewx and it's working 
fine with the simulator - the HTML files are being produced with correct 
units & layout.

Not quite sure what the process of changing the two over is though.  I know 
I will have to copy some stuff across (not a problem as both are on my 
network), not sure what stuff though.

Nor am I sure if there are any 'gotchas' I need to be aware of.
