Re: [weewx-user] HTML perms issue for 5.0

There might be files left over from pre-upgrade that are still owned by www-data (daybarometer.png, for example). I'd just go into the /var/www/html/weather/ directory and remove everything and let weewx build new ones. Or, chown weewx:weewx * in the weather directory On Sat, Jun 1, 2024 at 2:22

Re: [weewx-user] Your hardware experience (for running WeeWX, the service)

I have been running weewx on a (now discontinued) Odroid HC2 https://ameridroid.com/products/odroid-hc2 for several years now, connected to a Vantage Envoy, that collects data from the Vantage Pro . Since it can move its all but the initial uBoot code to SSD it's been super reliable. I would

Re: [weewx-user] New to Weewx! What's your Favorite Skin? Or Extension? How do you access your data on mobile?

There are so many ways! I've been using weewx for many years (and wview before that). Since I discovered MQTT, I now just send all the weather data to Home Assistant and do all the dashboarding there. Now I have all my home things in one place, and no longer need to FTP or RSync. Plus I can do fun

Re: [weewx-user] Adding climatologies to plots?

Curious about this too... you can download the data (for the US anyway) from NOAA https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datasets It would be cool to graph the daily highs and lows with the climate average (and record high/low) for your region. On Wed, Oct 25, 2023 at 4:00 PM Gary S wrote: > > I'm

I took all the file transfer bits out of weewx and just run the rsync command in a crontab. It seems more reliable, and easier to troubleshoot. On Thu, Jul 20, 2023 at 3:06 PM Tomasz Lewicki wrote: > rsync: host key verification failed > > Dear Weewx users. > > I'm trying to send files

It's very easy to make a backup, including all your customizations and database, store them offsite, and restore on top of a new installation (as long as they are the same weewx version) Check https://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#backup for details On Wed, Mar 8, 2023 at 1:48 PM vince wrote: >

You do not need Amazon Lightsail to host your weewx pages; while it's cheap (something less than $4/mo for a simple web server). Instead you can just upload your html and image files to Amazon S3 (follow the link you suggested) and point a Cloudfront service to them, for like $0.11/mo (yes, 11

Re: [weewx-user] upgrade path

That's a lot of things to upgrade! I practiced on a virtual machine first, so I could gain some confidence in the process, migrate my customizations, and be sure not to lose any data. There were some gotcha's on the skins side (they are documented in the upgrade guide) but the data come through

Re: [weewx-user] Outputting Max and min daily temperatures over MQTT

You can create a weewx template that outputs the statistics as a JSON file, then setup a REST sensor in your homeassistant config. You can set the scan interval to update more or less frequently. For me this seems more efficient than putting them in MQTT (which I also do with loop packets). My

If you have the Vantage Pro2 Console, you can use the add-on data logger expansion module to connect directly by USB. https://www.davisinstruments.com/products/weatherlink-windows-usb I use the Wireless Weather Envoy, which bypasses the console and connects by radio to the station, and USB to

Re: [weewx-user] Re: FTP failure

You will probably find (as I have) that rsync works *much* better than FTP. The protocol is cleaner and more secure. The biggest benefit is that rsync sends only the bits that changed, instead of ALL the bits. That means the connection doesn't have to stay active as long, and you transfer a
