Re: [weewx-user] Substitute readings from additional sensors for those from a weather station's sensors

if the readings are inside weewx, just use [calibrate] section to overwrite the variable. if they are outside, you will need to write a simple data service, see one of the examples. the packet is just a dictionary keyed on obs_type so there is no programming difference between adding a value

Thanks! The sensor data is already being collected and stored by another systemd-controlled process, so I would just need to modify that slightly to communicate it to the weewx function - probably via a file in /var/tmp. I think that binding to NEW_LOOP_PACKET does what I want better than just

Depends on how weewxd is executed. If you (or the daemon init script) run the simple command *weewxd /etc/weewx/weewx.conf* then the "shebang" is put into use. What is a shebang? If the first line of a file starts with the characters '#!', that's a shebang. It instructs the shell how to run the

In forecast.py under def xtides there is a max_events = 45. Changing that to a higher number has sorted my problem, however you may well tell me that could upset something. Phil On Thu, 4 Jun 2020, 16:10 Phil Owers, wrote: > Hi Mathew > Sorry I need your help again > Im trying to display at

My thoughts. You’ll want to hear others. I would collect indoor temp on another thread and make the substitution in a function bound to NEW_LOOP_PACKET. I typically do this for adding (e.g., pm2_5), but replacing should be no different. You’ll want the separate thread to save off the

Hello Joachim, Since your browser-facing folder for WeeWX is /public_html, you should specify the logo using a server-relative URL: [Extras] logo_image = "/public_html/logo.png" This works because the browser will fill-in the scheme, hostname and port so there's no need to fully-qualify

My (Vantage Pro 2) weather station console is located in my office/computer room, which is typically the warmest place in my house. It consequently returns an indoor temperature which is higher than it 'should' be and an indoor (relative) humidity that is lower than it 'should' be. I do have
