[weewx-user] Re: wxnow.txt does not contain precipitation totals

I think I am in the same position...Weewx is faithfully reporting data from my weather station (Tempest) but I am having issues finding a wxnow.txt generator or way to get the data in weewx to an aprs message format. I am comfortable with the weewx ecosystem and python as well and would value

[weewx-user] Re: wxnow.txt does not contain precipitation totals

I do like the idea of using CWOP for the reasons you mentioned. I'm comfortable around the Weewx ecosystem, Python, etc. If you don't mind, send it along and I'll have a look. No rush. I still don't have a dedicated antenna for a packet station like I used to. (Although I have a few things

[weewx-user] Re: wxnow.txt does not contain precipitation totals

After spending some time fixing cwxn to address the issues I found, I took a brief look at weewx-aprx. I forget exactly why I decided not to go that route, I think it pertained to the way it was generating the packet which didn't entirely mesh with how I wanted it for direwolf. So then I

[weewx-user] Re: wxnow.txt does not contain precipitation totals

Hello - Longtime Weewx user trying to get his station on APRS (RF). I'm using Direwolf and, ideally, would just like to get a wxnow.txt file that it can pick up. However, it appears that the original author of the cxwn extension may have pulled it down. I see a reference to another plugin -

[weewx-user] Re: wxnow.txt does not contain precipitation totals

Gary, Thanks! I just took a look at the weewx-aprx extension. FWIW, in addition to fixing the humidity, I also added solar radiation (luminosity). One other thing to note which I'm likely going to try and fix shortly, and you might consider fixing in weewx-aprx, is that the nullproof

[weewx-user] Re: wxnow.txt does not contain precipitation totals

Gary, I watched the results after the last rain. The midnight column went to 0.0 at midnight and the 24hr went down after 24 hours. Everything as expected. It has now just started raining and all three columns are at 0.01. I believe we can say that the problem has been resolved. Thank you for

[weewx-user] Re: wxnow.txt does not contain precipitation totals

Going through the log it looks like I may have restarted the box when I installed an app. I didn't think I did it that early in the day, but I may have. I'll take the blame. Since then it's working flawlessly, the midnight total went away at 00:00. I'll know more Monday when it rains. Bill

[weewx-user] Re: wxnow.txt does not contain precipitation totals

Don’t get too hung up on wxnow.txt, it merely pulls data from the database/the current archive record and presents it. If the WeeWX generated plot you posted is correct then there is a discrepancy between what WeeWX is receiving and what your meteobridge is receiving. This is best tracked down

[weewx-user] Re: wxnow.txt does not contain precipitation totals

Gary, Oh, what a trip this has been. It seems we keep finding other inconsistencies. For both of our sanity sake I will try to keep on topic. It looks like the 24 hour data is good. (Not sure why I was calling it 12) Thanks for suggesting the debug=1 log. I will try to get it going on time. I

Bill, Perhaps this has all been overtaken by your last three posts. But looking at your table of data in the first post that 2 hour gap could easily account for the figures in the table. I'm not sure what the 2nd plot in your 2nd post shows; since one goes to 0.15 and stays there I am

[weewx-user] Re: wxnow.txt does not contain precipitation totals

It looks like the 12 hour data is good. but I don't understand the 1 hour. Rain starts at 15:54 and I would have expected 1hr to track 12hr for the first hour. But it looks like we have an unexplained stoppage of data from 16:04 to 18:08. So I will have to collect data on another day. It

Gary, I use nano as editor. We're supposed to have a good rain here on Monday, so I should be able to let you know if it solved the problem. I have another RasPi arriving in a few days and will be installing this on it. Perhaps it will not have the problem. For now I'm staying focused on the

[weewx-user] Re: wxnow.txt does not contain precipitation totals

Bill, Well it is good that it is working as it should. As for binding = archive and what is displayed in the log during startup, well the code is pretty cut and dry. If binding is set to archive it should be displaying archive, so that suggests that whilst it looks like binding = archive there

[weewx-user] Re: wxnow.txt does not contain precipitation totals

Gary, Almost 24 hours later cwxn 0.5a is chugging along. It's outputting wxnow.txt every five minutes. I'm good with that. Maybe cwxn binding is actually set for archive but it's just not displaying properly in the log. Output at exactly five minutes makes me think it is. Now we just need

One more thing... The original problem was that when I had added binding=archive my output was static for a day. Now, I have binding=archive in weewx.conf and my output is updating regularly.. But we seem to have a different problem now, with binding=archive not showing up in the syslog.

Some obvious things. You did save weewx.conf? You did restart Weewx? Is there more than one weewx.conf on your system and are you editing the right one(it happens). When you start Weewx look at the log during WeeWX startup and it will tell you the full path to weewx.conf, that is the file you

That is interesting. Possibly because there was an error and wxnow.txt is not being updated and hence an old copy is being sent repeatedly. Did you look in the logs for any clues? I was running binding = archive here on a machine and wxnow.txt is working just fine. Running with binding = loop

Hi Gary, Thanks for the quick response. This is my second week with Weewx so I assumed it was something I overlooked. And I'm glad a solution is relatively close. I am using a Ambient Weather WS-2902 array with an Ecowitt GW1000 and using the interceptor 0.53. cwxn is 0.4 On Tuesday,

[weewx-user] Re: wxnow.txt does not contain precipitation totals

Hi, Looking at the cwxn service code there are three rain related values included in the output, these are (named in the code) hourRain, rain24 and dayRain. Presumably these are total rainfalls in the last hour, the last 24 hours and since midnight respectively. The cwxn service calculates
