[weewx-user] WMRS200 : wrong rainBatteryStatus values in database

[wysiwyg]

Hello ! 

While checking out some improvement of my battery monitoring, I notice some 
value of rainBatteryStatus higher then 1 !

Even some values in database are not integer (!!)

here is an extract from database (I didnt put all, it's several screen 
long...)
sqlite> select rainBatteryStatus from archive where rainBatteryStatus > 1;
2.85714285714286
4.0
4.0
4.0
4.0
4.0
2.67
1.14285714285714

2.67
1.14285714285714
4.0
4.0
4.0
2.0
4.0
4.0

isn't it a bit weird ?

Re: [weewx-user] Co-opting the RSYNC skin as a backup solution - even better with report_timing

[Glenn McKechnie]

Report_timing was the clincher (Thanks to your addition to version 3.6.0).
I'd already put together something but couldn't find a clean way of running
it at set intervals, a long loop? (Ugh),  temp files (very messy). Plenty
of kludges,  nothing clean nor tidy until a stumble when reviewing the
code.
I'm still learning the ins and outs of weewx, and there's always something
to discover - no matter how many times I read the docs or weewx-user !


I should note here that HTML_ROOT can only exist in weewx.conf (not as I
indicated above) - it will be ignored if added to a skin.conf file.  Other
than that, the instructions above, here on weewx-user will work, but those
at the wiki are definitive. The corrections have been made their.

[weewx-user] Re: Current Windspeed in Beaufort ? Bft?

[wysiwyg]

Hi
in case you like PHP, I have done this Beaufort calculation this way (with 
a small PHP code inside my template file)

 1) \$bff="1-Trés Légère Brise";
  if (\$vitesse > 6) \$bff="2-Légère Brise";
  if (\$vitesse > 12) \$bff="3-Petite Brise";
  if (\$vitesse > 20) \$bff="4-Jolie Brise";
  if (\$vitesse > 29) \$bff="5-Bonne Brise";
  if (\$vitesse > 39) \$bff="6-Vent Frais";
  if (\$vitesse > 50) \$bff="7-Grand Frais";
  if (\$vitesse > 62) \$bff="8-Coup de Vent";
  if (\$vitesse > 75) \$bff="9-Fort Coup de Vent";
  if (\$vitesse > 89) \$bff="10-Tempête";
  if (\$vitesse > 103) \$bff="11-Violente Tempête";
  if (\$vitesse > 118) \$bff="12-Ouragan"; 
}
  else {\$bff="to be updated for other than km/h"; }
  echo \$bff;
  ?>

The text is in french, but it should be easy to remove or replace by any 
language.

Also I handle only windspeed in km/h (just because it's my default unit and 
I was lazy to handle all units :-)). but it's easy to adjust too.

Best regards,

 Tom Keffer's answer with the reference to the uwxutils.py module was 
 the information is was after. But, being lazy by nature, I was hoping for 
 a 
 "here's the formula" type of answer. ;)

 I'm going through the code now and it doesn't seem that bad - even for

[weewx-user] Thanks for everything

[Paul Dunphy]

Hi Dave,

I have fixed my forecast issue as I mentioned on the Google 
groups.  Also I'm now using VE1DX for my CWOP uploads, thanks to you 
giving me the passcode and suggesting I use the server rotation.  I used 
to be EW8606 for a year or so, and I really disliked not using my call.  
That's fixed.  Oh, any reason to use a SSID?  I am just using VE1DX, not 
VE1DX-13 or anything else.  I seem to recall the SSID was important back 
in the packet radio days (I ran a DX Cluster for 13 years until 2015.)


I gave up DXing last year and sold all my HF gear . . . even the 2m 
stuff is gone.  No more CW, SSB, RTTY, Packet, etc.  It's the 21st 
century.  I had them all worked and confirmed on HF anyhow, on multiple 
bands and modes, so couldn't see the point of listening to hissing and 
static to get one more band country.


Also, yesterday I really drilled down into the guts of weewx and 
learned a ton.  I just needed the incentive.  Your postings are very 
helpful.  I find many of the other topics really advanced . . . and 
while they now make sense, I didn't want to try to "start" at the PhD 
level.  Those guys are really sharp, but I find the group not very 
conducive to beginners.  I came from a group headed by AA6YQ (also in 
MA, in spite of the 6 call) who wrote and maintained a suite of logging 
software called DX Labs.  The attitude there was "The only stupid 
question was the one you didn't ask" as opposed to "Didn't you read the 
documentation 12 times before posting that question?"  It weeds out 
those with little interest, but it can put off a lot of people who 
*really* don't understand the system.  It's a great project (weewx), but 
it's not something you can jump into and make sing and dance easily.  
The learning curve is steep, in my opinion.


Anyhow, I home you are not an MIT PhD, or I've probably said too much!

73, Paul VE1DX

clay,

this is typical output from the lightning detector, as returned by rtl_433:

2016-11-04 04:34:58 Acurite lightning 0x536F Ch A Msg Type 0x51: 15 C 58 % RH 
Strikes 50 Distance 69 - c0  53  6f  3a  d1  0f  b2  c5  13*
2016-11-04 04:43:14 Acurite lightning 0x536F Ch A Msg Type 0x51: 15 C 58 % RH 
Strikes 55 Distance 5 - c0  53  6f  3a  d1  0f  b7  05  58*

with a SDR configuration and sensor_map like this:

[SDR]
driver = user.sdr
cmd = rtl_433 -q -U -G -F json
[[sensor_map]]
windDir = wind_dir.0BFA.Acurite5n1Packet
windSpeed = wind_speed.0BFA.Acurite5n1Packet
outTemp = temperature.0BFA.Acurite5n1Packet
outHumidity = humidity.0BFA.Acurite5n1Packet
outTempBatteryStatus = battery.0BFA.Acurite5n1Packet
inTemp = temperature.24A4.AcuriteTowerPacket
inHumidity = humidity.24A4.AcuriteTowerPacket
txBatteryStatus = battery.24A4.AcuriteTowerPacket
extraTemp2 = temperature.526F.AcuriteLightningPacket
extraHumid2 = humidity.526F.AcuriteLightningPacket
distance = distance.526F.AcuriteLightningPacket
strikes_total = strikes_total.526F.AcuriteLightningPacket
[[deltas]]
strikes = strikes_total

the weewx-sdr driver parses lightning sensor output into packets something like 
this:

LOOP:   2017-02-14 09:50:31 EST (1487083831) altimeter: None, appTemp: None, 
barometer: None, cloudbase: None, dateTime: 1487083831, dewpoint: None, 
distance: 15.0, extraHumid2: 35.0, extraTemp2: 55.4, heatindex: None, humidex: 
None, inDewpoint: None, maxSolarRad: None, rainRate: 0, strikes: 0.0, 
strikes_total: 61.0, usUnits: 1, windchill: None

is that what you see?

clay,

this is fixed in version 0.22 of weewx-sdr.  your sensor emits a hex 
message type of 0x47, but the previous parser was looking for only digits, 
not hex.

does the wmrs200 base station provide any indication of battery status?

does the software that comes with wmrs200 provide battery status indicators?

if so, do these show a binary value ('ok' and 'not ok'), or something else?

[weewx-user] Re: CWOP reporting

[gjr80]

Hi,

Not a CWOP poster myself, but have a look at the post_interval setting in 
the CWOP section  of the 
User's Guide. Setting post_interval to 0 or 300 should do it.
