[weewx-user] Re: can we run rtl_sdr on rasberry pi and weewx on debian server

2019-11-11 Thread Luc Theoret
Hi,

I made a VBox on my laptop to test weewx.
Installed weewx with the same configuration as the raspberry pi except 
without the sdr configuration.
Then I setup CRON to execute the wee_reports every 5 minutes. works like a 
charm.
All the sensor data is on a server in a mysql database accessible from 
inside my network.
The reports will be on a debian server.

Hi Rogene T.

Yes I was looking through data captured from the rtl_433 modules and the 
humidity from the La Crosse sensor is decoded but I noticed that the 
temperature is incorrect and sometimes it says "none".
Thanks I have removed the La Cross from the equation and will buy more 
Acurite indoor/outdoor sensors.
Thank you for the input.

Regards,
LTheoret

Hi Luc,

In addition to rtl_sdr, I'm running rtl_433 to decode the various sensor 
data.  rtl_433 supports numerous brands and devices.  Then I use the 
weewx-sdr driver to map each sensor data point to a weewx archive field.  
Your devices need to be supported by both drivers if you use this method.  
I have another Oregon Scientific UV sensor that rtl_433 can read, but 
weewx-sdr doesn't have a parsing routine for ityet.

Hi all,

Thanks for all the input. they pi did not have any issue getting the data 
to the database which is on windows PC running mysql. The issue is the web 
server part. I had to disable the mosquitto mqtt, as it wos not working and 
took forever to generate the reports. and then it would not generate the 
page. mow I have striped the PI to weewx default with the RLT_SDR and 
running perfectly. I have installed weewx on an other server with more 
power that will generate the presentation, If i can figure out how to get 
it to trigger and generate the reports as it has no sensor inputs. 

Rogene T.:
how did you get 2 brands on the same rft_sdr system my La Cross will not 
upload as the unit are different than the Acurite.
Help with this would be appreciated.

2019-11-10 Thread Craig Thom
I've had a headless Pi 3 running WeeWX with rtl_sdr for two and a half 
years without a problem.  I had to add a pressure sensor to the Pi, but 
that was fun.

I just ran updates and rebooted it.  The last time I did that was in 
February, and it had run continuously since then.

2019-11-10 Thread Rogene T.
It sounds like you don't have anything configured to pass the data from 
rtl_sdr to WeeWx?  Are you running rtl_433 and weewx-sdr?  Similar to you, 
I have an Acurite 5n1, and two Oregon Scientific sensors.  Granted, I have 
everything on a single RPi3B+, but it did take some configuration.  I 
mostly followed the "recipe" here:

2019-11-09 Thread Andrew B
I've had a Pi3 baking in the sun in an outdoor enclosure all summer long (over 
100F a few days) with zero issues. It has an RTC addon and no case.

So if you're running a Pi4, I'd see if you could get away with a Pi3 as they 
seem to be pretty darn tolerate to heat.

what model pi are you using??  My rpi3 has not needed a heatsink to be 
added - even though it is in a case and ambient room temperatures here are 
30C+ throughout the summer months.  I do believe however that the model 4 
does possibly require cooling.

Hi Gary,

You are probably right. The only issue I have with the pi is, without 
thinking I bought a RTC that covers the cooling hole in the back, I will by 
a smaller one as it melted the heatsink off the CPU.

Hi,

I know you said you want rtl_sdr on the RPi and run WeeWX on the debian 
server but have you considered looking into why the RPi is not working with 
the WeeWX reports? A RPi is more than capable of doing both unless you have 
a particularly complex setup. Whilst there are certainly ways to push your 
rtl_sdr data to WeeWX on another machine I think you will find it much 
easier and less complex to do it all on the one WeeWX machine and if 
necessary push the generated reports to another machine.
