[weewx-user] MQTT lagging

2020-10-24 Thread T Reid
I am using the MQTT add-in to pipe real time loop entries from my Davis Vantage Pro into the Belchertown skin, using the standard instructions for that skin. It generally works great. But every couple of days the MQTT feed will fall behind, sometimes by as much as an hour or more. To fix it,

Hi Arend, nice update to change miles to km. In your patch you have ... |eqmag = locale.format("%g", float(eqmag) )| But you don't show what it was previously so knowing which "eqmag" to change is hard. thanks Tim On 25/10/20 6:46 am, Arend wrote: Hi Keimpe, I had the same problem

Thanks all, those are excellent suggestions. In fact I do have another rpi4 still in the box. I will build that one and get it working before repurposing the existing set-up. Thanks again! On Saturday, October 24, 2020 at 2:59:45 PM UTC-4 vince wrote: > On Saturday, October 24, 2020 at

Just an extra note about SQLite3 and MySQL: I am running many small dB using both SQLite3 and MySQL and find both useful and equally easy to use. MySQL is definitely more complex to start with, but provides also much more flexibility than SQLite3. Administration of MySQL is essentially zero.

Hi Nev, What worked for me is changing unit_system = METRIC into METRICWX under MQTT. But maybe you need to make some more changes (like I had to do), do you have a website to check? Regards, Arend Op zaterdag 24 oktober 2020 om 11:17:53 UTC+2 schreef nevilled...@gmail.com: > Hi > We have had

Good suggestion from John, and probably the safest. You'll have to decide for yourself whether to do an *in situ* upgrade. I can say that we have worked hard on common upgrade paths, and Debian 8 to 9 is one of them. If you decide to go the upgrade route, remember to upgrade your interceptor

If another Raspberry Pi is affordable for you, you might consider setting up a completely new system. That would give you time to get things right. If you are successful, you could then stop both WeeWX instances, copy over the database (weewx.sdb) to the new system and restart. > On Oct 24,

Yes, that's the reason behind wanting to upgrade. I want to keep up to date every so often so that I don't wind up with a set up that gets completely phased out. Do you recommend just leaving it alone until something stops working? On Saturday, October 24, 2020 at 1:44:14 PM UTC-4

If your system is working fine, why mess with it? Especially if it involves an OS upgrade. The only catch is that eventually Python 2 will be phased out and, to keep up with security upgrades, you may be forced to switch. On Sat, Oct 24, 2020 at 10:27 AM Boston Tom wrote: > I am running 3.7.1
