[weewx-development] MQTTSubscribe with WeeWX 4.0.0.b8

2020-01-14 Thread Ralph Underwood
I have been working on getting *MQTTSubscribe* working on my development station (RPi3 with Buster) running WeeWx 4.0.0.b8. I think I have managed to get Python3 versions of all of the prerequisites for WeeWx and MQTTSubscribe. I am using the Simulator as the driver, MQTTSubscribe as a

I am using WeeWx 4.0.0.b8 (latest development version) and I copied MQTTSubscribe from your GitHub. I did not install via wee_extension. My plan was to replace my standalone python program which subscribes to MQTT and writes a file for the filepile.py extension. I converted it to Python3 so

I was replying to a post on an earlier page. I just found Rich's MQTTSubscribe.py and have started to experiment with it as a service. I managed to get to this: Jan 14 11:23:16 TestPi weewx[4983] CRITICAL weewx.engine: Caught unrecoverable exception: Jan 14 11:23:16 TestPi weewx[4983] CRITICAL

I am setting up a test station with WeeWx version 4 on a Rpi. I have three sensors publishing MQTT and I want to test the wxMesh driver. Can this be run as a service with the Simulator driver running? Thanks, Ralph -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

[weewx-development] Crash with 4.0.0b6

2020-01-07 Thread Ralph Underwood
My system crashed this afternoon. This is the log starting with the last successful Ftp. I had been working on my MQTT sensor code, adding some delay to cut down on the file writes to the SD card. My setup is an RPi 4 with an Ultimeter Station and an additional BME280 sensor connected to a

It was relatively painless to convert/upgrade my python code to 3.7. A few stumbles as the great internet has many wrong examples and "solutions". For instance trying to install pyehem - what worked is *sudo pip3 install ephem* Same kind of issues with install the mosquitto and paho client

Slam and dunk! One station now on 4.0.0b6. The script I was referring to is the "weewx flexible installer script for Debian(ish) systems". Using the six steps was easy once I remembered to add the -xf to tar. BTW - under the 3.? versions I was having seemingly random crashes (7 to 14 days

I'm running fine with 4.0.0b5 and the newest version of the Ultimeter driver on two different RPi4 stations. Knowing just enough unix & python to be dangerous, I thought maybe I should clarify a few things before using Vince's script to update to beta 6. I have extra sensors that use mqtt. I

I found most of those items, but I was still getting a bunch of errors. My system running 3.?? died a few days ago and my backups were not good so I was installing the version 4 as a replacement - consequently I had less that 24 hours data on the system I mistakenly installed cmon on. I am

Thanks Tom. WeeWx appears to be running - I'm getting output to home/weewx/public_html/index.html . Now to tackle the damn 'b's, should keep me busy for a few hours. I plan on waiting a bit before adding cmom, I have been having trouble with the old system stopping, I suspect because of a
