i know nothing of this driver, but these look like driver-global attributes, 
which should be declared in the top-level driver section to prevent them being 
absorbed into a subsection (i.e. in this case, before [[topics]])

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Using MQTT Subscribe

[bell...@gmail.com]

What is the topic and format of the MQTT data? For example, are you 
publishing to a topic of 'snow/snowlevel' and the payload is the actual 
snow level?
Some information is 
here, https://github.com/bellrichm/WeeWX-MQTTSubscribe/wiki/Configuring 
But, I'm happy to walk you through it.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Using MQTT Subscribe

[Timothy Buchanan]

Thanks, changing the database was easy with that article. As to my other 
question, I'm guessing I need to put a Sensor Map in weewx.conf in the 
MQTTSubscribe section, something like snow/snowlevel = snow?

 Next, I may need to extend the database, since there doesn't seem to be 
 snowLevel entries, and to map the published topics to the database. where 
 could I find information on these two subjects? Thanks.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Using MQTT Subscribe

[Tom Keffer]

The schemas are used *only when creating a new database*. Upgrading to v4.x
will not change your old database.

If you wish to switch, there is a Wiki article *Switching to the new
wview_extended schema
*
on
how to do it.
