Hi, If you were using SQLite as your DBMS then it is just a case of copying your database (.sdb) file from old to new. A default install uses /home/weewx/archive/weewx.sdb or /var/lib/weewx/weewx.sdb depending on your WeeWX install type. If you were using MySQL/Maria and are intending to use

Hi, It appears that you have told WeeWX to use the Ultimeter driver is no [Ultimeter] stanza in weewx.conf. Either add it manually or use wee_config --reconfigure and select Ultimeter when prompted for a driver to use. Gary On Wednesday, 22 July 2020 at 13:39:43 UTC+10 fpu...@gmail.com wrote:

Hi, Your device will be sending the same wind obs to WeeWX and the Meteobridge. I can't speak for the Meteobridge but you are right in that you can control the wind direction within WeeWX when windSpeed is zero through use of the ignore_zero_wind config option. The ignore_zero_wind config

Hi, If you have beaufort = prefer_hardware under [StdWXCalculate] then you should be seeing field beaufort in loop packets and archive records provided you have field windSpeed in the same packet/record. I would go back to basics as far as you can and run WeeeWX directly
