NOT "custom logs". I turned on `debug=1` -- if that's customization, ok. Paul Anderson nailed it. I knew nothing about systemd logging. Now I do. As a person with some significant background in computing (yet new to this environment), I suspect the following might be confusing to more than a

My weewx was running reasonably well for a year. In Feb we left on a trip. I returned, and learned weewx stopped working back on Feb 22 Here's the strange part: NOTHING is being logged. /var/log/weewx.log has been empty since the end of January. I run systemctl start weewx and it blows up early

Oh, the nice thing about using REST for catchup is it can request all missing data. The local hub only sends what *it thinks is needed*, as there can be no requests. Power outages aren't the only things that cause data gaps ;) On Monday, January 2, 2023 at 10:20:44 AM UTC-7 MrPete wrote

Interesting on the "calculated" data... my Tempest needs serious recalibration of the raw rain data. Collected a whole season last year; will soon submit it to them. I'm wondering if "modified" rain data from REST includes recalibrated rain, while UDP rain is uncalibrated? On Friday, December

THANKS! I now understand more. that yes, it's a fork to add REST support (so it can catch up... and because WeatherFlow highly recommends making use of REST instead of UDP whenever possible ;) ). I connected with WeatherFlow support. Turns out, accessing the Hub in the REST API simply is not

My Weewx now crashes continually, due to a new problem in the link from WeatherFlowUDP to the WeatherFlow REST API: * I'm getting crashes due to a 500 error returning from the API * Turns out the Weewx driver is attempting to retrieve observations from all "devices" in the station... but the

OK, if not a bug, then let's define the default for users who live above 5,000 ft. :) I think it's far more reasonable to set defaults so that under ANY normal conditions, users will not see an error. YES, let them tune the default to a narrower range if they want. On Thursday, March 3, 2022

I may have something quite basic wrong, but need some hints to even get going... As noted above, my logs show lots of mqtt publishing just fine for archive, but user.mqtt loop publish fails every time. I set debug=1 in weewx.conf but that doesn't appear to add any debug info. Is there a way

Hi all, Experienced tech (HW, SW, FW and more), brand new to WeeWX. Have had my WeatherFlow Tempest running for a couple of months. On initial setup, I just discovered that weewx thinks my barometric pressure is out of range! I thought that was interesting. I consider this a bug: - The
