Yes, you're right I removed /etc/init.d/weewx -- when I switched to using systemd ; I didn't realize this would still be needed. In fact, I followed advice here that leaving this in place was not a good idea. Attached are copies of the original

This (attached) is the file with passwords, ids and coordinates removed. Here's what I did: I stopped weewx on both RPis; copied the database to the new one, having backed up the database there, and then swapped in a copy of my weewx.conf with the uploads to wunderground etc. enabled. When

Re: [weewx-user] Using Sofaskin wrong date format

I have set up a new copy of v4.3 on Ubuntu alongside an updated existing installation running on Raspbian, both using a modified copy of Sofaskin. Default date and time formats follow the locale setting on Raspbian but not on Ubuntu (20.04.1). Don't see how it can be anything to do with

Re: [weewx-user] Version 4.2.0 ready

Update from v3.9.2 on Pi2 w FineOffset WH1080 completed OK using apt. However, I noticed quotes were removed from passwords. Is this how they should be now? (Perhaps it wasn't with WeeWX, but I do remember having to add quotes to passwords in a .conf file at some point.) On Tuesday, October

[weewx-user] Re: Looking for some new hardware

I have a WH1080 running with an RPi2. Purchased an Ecowitt system to replace it, with both HP2551 display and a GW1000. Bought extra sensors (outdoor temp + humidity, 3x indoor temp and humidity, 1x soil moisture). You don't need an RPi4. It runs hot and is overpowered for what you need. A Pi2

[weewx-user] WH1080 barometer calibration surprise

I tried yesterday, using WeeWX v.3.9.2, to calibrate my WH1080 barometer by adding pressure = pressure - 2.9 under [StdCalibrate] [[Corrections]] in weewx.conf. The result, shown in the image below, is not what I expected -- a drop of almost 100 mbar. The spike is because I rescinded

[weewx-user] Re: Which weather station would you buy ?

I've now set up my Ecowitt system. Very pleased with it. The main :-( was the added cost of using a courier (DHL; all they offer) to ship to Europe and then VAT on the shipping on top. I originally wanted 433Mhz kit but they could only offer 868MHz at the time and I agreed, although 433Mhz was

I had a power outage last night as result of high winds. When I powered back up later today I found my server uptime was 0 days 0 hours 0 minutes and WeeWX uptime was 15 hours. The pi doesn't have an RTC installed but the date and time were correct (I have an NTP server). Am I right in

Good to hear you got it working. Thanks in advance for saving me some time; bookmarked :-) I've also ordered some extra sensors so again interested to hear how you get on, though I am probably not going to be uploading any data from these to any public sites. -- You received this message

Re: [weewx-user] WeatherDuino - "trouble or fun"?

Thanks. I understand the term and have browsed the wiki so I understand the concept well. What I don't have a feeling for -- and I appreciate that mileages may vary -- is how straightforward it is in practice. I use Raspberry Pi SBCs quite a lot but have not yet worked on an Arduino system.

[weewx-user] Re: WH1080 replacement?

Surely you only need a sniffer if you're trying to set up a local display instead of relying on a cloud-hosted service that gets data directly? I dislike the WH1080 console and rarely look at it. For me, its real value when working is not as a display but to buffer data in the event of power

Thanks will have a look. A WH1080? (doesn't have radiation or UV). A later Fine Offset perhaps. My site is down again :-( The USB port lockups are happening every few days instead of every few months as before. When I last looked at stations I shortlisted a TFA Nexus but it was long enough
