oops.  apparently i figured out how to decode historical records, but i 
never got around to implementing the methods to actually read the 
historical records.

i'll add it to my todo list, but i won't be near that hardware for a couple 
of months...

Re: [weewx-user] WeeWx integration with custom home-built weather station

2017-07-30 Thread Sean Coston
Tom,

I discovered the customizing guide after I posted the first post here. 
Would have looked that over more closely before posting.
I will probably use your first suggestion and run the two databases in 
parallel as I have actually been having incredible fun engineering all of 
this and learning to write php, html, javascript/AJAX (most all of my prior 
coding was in visual basic). My server setup is pretty powerful and 
memory/processor use will not be a concern so parallel databases sounds 
like a quick way to get a functioning system and still have the ability to 
develop my own "system" for fun.

I'll look at writing a custom driver to make a parallel data stream that 
weewx can use.

The first pic is my prototyping board... three temperature sensors, one 
with a humidity sensor, one with an atmospheric pressure sensor, light 
intensity sensor that measures lux, UV index sensor, the analog wind 
direction sensor, and the two hall effect sensors that are hooked up to the 
arduino's interrupts (so as not to miss an event).
The second pic is my bastardized radiation shield made from plastic bowls 
painted flat black on the inside, flat white on top. 

Had fun making parts with Solidworks  software and my 3D printer. Several 
improvement cycles on most parts, especially the rain meter tip bucket and 
funnel. Eventually designed something that would fit in a couple of 4" 
sched 80 PVC coupler fittings.
The wind vane uses a continuous turn potentiometer and is powered with 5 V 
from the Arduino - the output is 0 to 5 volts and linear around the 
compass. My original anenometer, the white one, functioned very well but I 
discovered the shorter arms worked just as well, had less inertial mass to 
slow down after a gust, and will take up less space at my deployment site.

I plan to place the arduino in a central 3" PVC junction and connect all 
the elements with 2"PVC to route the signal wire. there will be external 
supports as well.  Have not full deployed it yet because I am waiting on an 
arduino screw connection shield to make connecting everything easier. I'll 
post more pics when it is deployed fully.

[weewx-user] Re: Can Weewx wh23xx retrieve historical data stored on the device?

2017-07-30 Thread Andrew Milner
There should be two parts to this process 

1.  When you start weewx after prolonged down time the missing records 
should be being retrieved from the logger and inserted into the weewx 
database - if none are beiong retrieved then you should check the log - and 
if necessary post the log - for the period from the restart to the first 
archive interval - to the forum for assistance.

2. Wunderfixer compares the weewx database with the wunderground records - 
for a single date, which defaults to the current date. Note that the date 
is in wunderground terms.  If wunderfixer is being used to fill in missing 
data from previous days then it needs to be called for each of the missing 
days.  This can only be done AFTER the weewx database has been updated with 
the missing historical data as in step 1

Does this help?

[weewx-user] Can Weewx wh23xx retrieve historical data stored on the device?

2017-07-30 Thread electroblu77
Hi There,

Im running...
- Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi
- Using the "wh23xx" driver for Tycon TP2700WC Support (Rebranded Fine 
Offset WH2310)
- Submitting data to Weather Underground
- Using wunderfixer as recommended nightly cron task

My weather station has onboard logging so if the internet is down or my 
Raspberry Pi is turned off for some reason it will still collect and store 
the data.  

When I plug the base station back in after a prolonged absence I notice 
that the data on the base station does not appear to be used to back fill 
for Weather Underground even after manually running "wunderfixer".  The 
records don't appear to be picked up at all.
I notice in the comments for the "wh23xx.py" driver file that the structure 
of the historical records is discussed.

Is the processing of these historical records supported at present?  If 
they are is there something that needs to happen with the config to get it 
to work? 

Thanks

Hi Michael,

Currently weewx is receiving your stations pressure data from the sensor 
inside the meteostick device.
As outside temperature and -humidity are not received currently from the 
ISS, the calculated values for barometer are not valid and preset with NONE.

2017-07-30 Thread Luc Heijst
Hi Michael,

The raw data received from the Davis equipment can be read as 8-byte data 
and 10-byte data.
The current meteostick driver only reads the 8-bit data.

The 10-bit data is used for raw data received from a repeater, As we so far 
didn't had any testers with a repeater, we couldn't find out the used 
protocol.
As you might know Davis nor Smartbedded were giving details about these 
protocols. 

I like to help you (and you are helping me!) discovering this 10-byte 
protocol to be able to extend the meteostick driver for use with repeaters.
I will contact you via private mail.

Cheers, Luc

2017-07-30 Thread Thomas Keffer
Hello, Michael

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you have two different data
streams: one going through the meteostick, another through a Davis
repeater. How are they joined? Does the meteostick talk to the repeater?

If you wish to use just the meteostick driver, you will need to run all
data through it. Otherwise, you will need to augment the data by using
another driver. This can be done, but it is not very elegant.

Re: [weewx-user] WeeWx integration with custom home-built weather station

2017-07-30 Thread Thomas Keffer
Hello, Sean

That's quite an ambitious project you're doing! Sounds like fun.

To start, make sure you take a look at the Weewx Customizing Guide
. It explains how weewx works under
the hood.

Weewx expects a stream of raw sensor data, while your raw data seems to be
a mix of sensor data plus aggregates and historical data. I don't know how
wedded you are to your data stream (and underlying MySQL model), but if you
are, it could be very difficult to adapt the weewx reporting machinery to
it.

Alternatively, you could keep your database schema, and run weewx in
parallel with it. Don't know why you'd want two different databases holding
what is essentially the same data, but that would work.

Another approach would be to do ditch your database and PHP script and
substitute weewx's logging capability in their place.

The last two alternatives would require that you either write a custom
driver, or adapt an existing driver, to log the data coming off the
Arduino. See the Customizing Guide for instructions on how to write a custom
driver .

Give the Customizing Guide a read and think this over. Once you decide what
approach you want to take we can discuss the details.

Would love to see some pictures of the hardware you built!

[weewx-user] best kit for UK

2017-07-30 Thread Philip Frampton
I spent yesterday researching this myself. I came to the conclusion that this 
was the best option:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wireless-Weather-Station-WeatherSleuth-Professional/dp/B00ZVFZUS6/ref=sr_1_1?s=outdoors=UTF8=1501410881=1-1-spons=weather+station=1

It's a shame the Oregon WMR89 isn't supported as it's the best value, 
especially as I wanted multiple temperature sensors. The WMR200 or 300 would 
work but are hard to get in the UK and £300+.

I've decided to start with the one above and then add SDR module and extra 
433mhz sensors to augment the system.

[weewx-user] WeeWX, Meteostick & Davis Repeater Issues

2017-07-30 Thread aschauer . michl
Hi folks,

i want to migrate from meteohub system (via serial interface) to weewx with 
meteostick.

with meteostick and meteohub i had the problem with poor reception quality 
of meteostick.
i have a davis repeater here, and brought it into operation. with the 
repeater i got good reception of ISS, soil station and additional temp/hum. 
only the wireless anemometer station is near enough to be received directly.

meanwhile i´ve set up a weewx system with raspian and got the meteostick 
driver running. but there are a few issues:
wind sensor is received by meteostick directly and displayed on the weewx 
startpage. all other stations (ISS, SoilTemp, additional TempHum) are not 
displayed on the weewx start page. interestingly the values of the 
tempsensor on the stick is displayed, but not the values of the pressure 
sensor.
when i got meteostick working, pressure values were displayed, but quitted 
after few hours. so the only values i get are winddir and speed (via direct 
reception) and inside temperature. data via the davis repeater are not 
displayed.

maybe i´ve overseen oder forgotten some .conf customizing? file ist 
attached. i appreciate every help.

thx, Michael
