Re: [weewx-user] Re: twitter extension: Able to insert a return/new line?

[Thomas Keffer]

You're not making it easy!

Make sure you're showing us the correct format and the exact output that
goes along with it. Better yet, cut and paste the whole twitter section of
your weewx.conf.

Python is case-sensitive, so you definitely want dayRain.

This is the format string:

Hmm.  
On the variabiles:

I am using the default binding (archive).  I don't need the frequency of 
loop, though, for debugging sake I should mention that when I have tried 
out binding=loop, weewx fails to start. I have not looked into why that 
might be as it's not part of my goal.

This is what weewx reports from the Vantage raw stream:

I used dayrain without success.


On the newline issue.  No luck with either of the escape characters, which 
I had tried before, or the unicode.


I have also tried a few techniques for getting new lines into code listed 
here:

https://www.smallsurething.com/multi-line-strings-in-python/


Unfortunately, no success.

use a newline?  maybe:

format = "first line\\nsecond line\\nthird line"

or if that does not work, try to find the unicode character for newline and 
stick that into your string

are the observations you want in REC or LOOP?

use the 'binding' option to the weewx-twitter extension to choose which you 
want to tweet

if that does not get what you want, then you'll have to modify the 
twitter.py code to make additional database queries (see other restful 
extensions in restx.py for examples of how to do this)

Also, any ideas on how to pass a new line within the format option so that
Output

Twitter
can look
more
like this?

Whoa. OK, that was awesome.

However, if I put in 'dayRain' (or dayrain) as it is delivered within the 
LOOP or REC packets from weewx within my format command for the twitter 
extension, it just spits out:

 Rain Today: {dayRain:%.1f}mm  

rather than actually parsing the variable.  

However, other variables, like outTemp or heatindex or windchill seem to 
match up and work just fine.  So I am definitely missing a crucial step 
here.

the set of observations depends on what hardware is running and what 
services are running.

start with the hardware docs:

http://weewx.com/docs/hardware.htm

see the 'station data' section for your hardware.

then see the docs for the services you are running.  for example, 
StdWXCalculate adds a few:

http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#StdWXCalculate

but the fastest and most accurate way is rather pythonic: just do it!  run 
weewx directly and see what it spits out in each LOOP and REC dictionary.

Haha. I suspect that 'server uptime' variable is optimistic. :)

Maybe this is a more general question than just on this extension.

How do I know what weewx values are available to the extension (or any 
extension for that matter?).  For example, what is the "rain" variable 
actually returning in twitter.  It is not the daily rain sum... how can I 
know what is what and what is available for display?

Cheers,
Chris

Speculating on your other question, wondering if 'format' would let you add 
the newline. 

I like your system uptime (what a stable system :-)
Server uptime: 17527 days, 21 hours, 15 minutes

And any idea how I could add the barometer trend value?

I'm still learning how to find all of the available values in extensions 
and throughout the system.

Thanks all!
