Ah, got it. This all sounds very promising !! I'll do a WeeWX install on the same box (after doing a backup of WView data and config just in case) after reading your references. Thanks for the encouragement, Tom ... greatly appreciated !! Time to get started reading :) Rod On Wednesday, 15

Hello, Rod. Not surprisingly, I was also a long-time wview user before starting weewx. Mark Teel (the author of wview) was not a part of weewx, although, as you note, many of his design decisions influenced me. Because weewx uses the same schema as wview, moving over is a simple matter. Take a

You've probably figured this out already, but you get that error when you pass in a string instead of a number. Use int(float(pairs[1])) instead. -tk On Tue, Nov 14, 2017 at 7:43 AM, Chris Richmond wrote: > Thanks Tom. I did end up using leafWet2, and there are minor

Thanks Tom. I did end up using leafWet2, and there are minor issues with ints verses floats in what weewx gets sent, but it all seems good at this point. Nope this was my fault too... :^) File "/home/weewx/bin/user/aclogger.py", line 405, in decode_data pkt[pairs[0]] = int(pairs[1])

For how long do you NEED the database to store records every minute?? Most people manage with an archive record every 5 minutes at most (and some only every 30 minutes!) How often do you look at your 'every minute' data - do you really need it?? The weewx meso extension builds a database

Interesting idea. Can a docker swarm work for a hardware device? I've always thought of them as responding to HTTP requests. I have not tried a thumb drive. My original intention was to try different drive configurations, but I need the SD card to die first and free up the instrument and RPi.

The Vantage Vue does not come with a connector. You must buy that separately. They offer three types: serial, USB, and ethernet. All are ridiculously overpriced for what you get. The USB connector is the easiest to connect, and recent versions have proven to be very reliable. You want part number

It may be getting big quickly, but so what? All weewx queries are bounded in time, which is indexed, so search time for say, "max temperature this week" is constant, no matter how big the database gets. Unless you are in the gigabyte range, sqlite can handle it just fine. Just be sure to do
