Sorry - I didn't mean to make the 'N' a capital but I'm not sure if it 
matters.

If you are trying to use the network to send to WeatherUnderground, then 
you may need to wait for it to start as well.

Something like:

Requires=Network-online.target
After=Network-online.target

if I remember correctly.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: NOAA monthly and yearly summaries, is possible generate PLOT ?

[Tomáš Filo]

So I did it as suggested. I created bash script to generate all historical
plots by executing wee_reports with different parameters. For this purpose
I created two skins for generating year and month plots. And two weewx.conf
files for this specific purpose. Maybe it will be usefullfor someone. So
here is link: https://github.com/tfilo/weewx-bootstrap-theme I will add
some commites tommorow to fix some little problems.

If you want to see it in action here is page live:
http://meteorajecketeplice.ddns.net but it is only in Slovak language so
can be confusing for others.

Thanks again for sugestions.

Adding to Andrew's "is your clock configured right" thinking

   - is ntp running ?   Do a 'ntpq -pn' and verify you're synched with the 
   upstream clock servers
   - if so, do a reboot (not powerdown/up) of your system and see if it 
   works. I'm guesing it will
   - then do a shutdown and pull the power for a few minutes and try it 
   again and see if it fails or works, to redo your power loss scenario

And please set debug=1 in weewx.conf and post the syslog from powerup to 
when weewx runs (or doesn't) in the last test...

Thank you.  Worked perfectly for me.  Since we are likely to be hit by a

[weewx-user] Autostart WeeWX with systemd

[David Porter]

I am attempting to use systemd on a Raspberry Pi 3 (Jessie) to autostart 
WeeWX. The goal being that WeeWX will automatically start up and start 
recording data and sending it to Wunderground after a reboot (e.g following 
a blackout).

Here is my /etc/systemd/system/weewx.service file:

# systemd configuration to run a single instance of weewx as a daemon

[Unit]
Description=weewx weather system
Requires=time-sync.target
After=time-sync.target
RequiresMountsFor=/home

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/weewxd --daemon --pidfile=/var/run/weewx.pid 
/etc/weewx/weewx.conf
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
Type=simple
PIDFile=/var/run/weewx.pid
#User=weewx
#Group=weewx

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target


That .service file runs fine at start up. The terminal command "systemctl 
is-enabled weewx" returns "enabled". The terminal command "systemctl 
is-active weewx" returns "failed". That is, WeeWX has been enable, but is 
not active.

I can then manually start WeeWX with "systemctl start weewx" and everything 
works fine. But I want to automate this manual step on the RPi boot up.

How do I get "systemctl start weewx" to run automatically at boot up?
