Re: [weewx-user] Re: Original Vantage Pro, connected via serial-ethernet converter?

Thanks, that did it!  Actually, I'm not sure whether it was the "port" or 
the "tcp_port" parameter in weewx.conf, so I changed both.  I'm up and 
running!  It barfed on importing my 15 years or so of data from wview, but 
that's a problem for another day, and I won't have a chance to dig into it 
for a couple of weeks.

Thanks again for all the help!  What a nice way to enter a new community.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Weewx generating reports two days head

[Mike Dame]

I finally was able to take a little time to dig through some of the
scripts, and after deleting pid file, and  issuing  a "systemctl
daemon-reload", and then weewx service finally restarted. It took a little
while to dump and record the missed records.

I think I am good now.

Thanks for everyone's assistance.

You can simply uninstall fake-hwclock and require ntp.service as others 
have said.

There has been a 'lot' of discussion about this back a while ago when 
systemd started appearing.  You might want to check out the google group 
archives for the many threads and discussions of the many way to do this.

Re: [weewx-user] Disabling Weewx Autostart

[vk3anz]

Jessie actually converts everything to use the systemctl service. There is 
a specific "generator" app that runs early in the bootstrap process that 
reads all of these 'init.d' files and creates a (supposedly) equivalent 
.service file for systemctl.

I'm not exactly sure where these generated service files are located (there 
are quite a few places that the systemctl service looks for the service 
files) but it should be something like weewx.service.

I'm mentioning all of this because you can use this generated file to 
create your own file that is permanent and includes a line 
"Requires=ntp.service" that will tell the systemctl daemon to run your 
service only after the NTP service has done its thing (I'm no expert on 
these things but that is what I;ve been told and seems to work on my RPi3 
system).

I've attached my file if you are interested. You can also see the file path 
where I have placed it. (I run weewx in its own account that is actually on 
a NAS - hence the wait for the network, '/home' and '/home/weewx' folders 
being available; you may not need those.)

Just an alternative to think about.

[weewx-user] Re: Original Vantage Pro, connected via serial-ethernet converter?

['loonsailor' via weewx-user]

Thanks for this.  I was really excited.  Tried it, but it doesn't work.  
Specifically, here is the log file:

Dec 27 18:00:32 ubu-mini-weather weewx[10917]: engine: Loading station type 
Vantage (weewx.drivers.vantage)
Dec 27 18:00:32 ubu-mini-weather weewx[10902]:...done.
Dec 27 18:00:32 ubu-mini-weather systemd[1]: Started LSB: weewx weather 
system.
Dec 27 18:00:32 ubu-mini-weather weewx[10917]: vantage: Socket error while 
opening port 2 to ethernet host 192.168.198.202.
Dec 27 18:00:32 ubu-mini-weather weewx[10917]: import of driver failed: [

Dec 27 18:00:32 ubu-mini-weather weewx[10917]: engine: Unable to load driver
: [Errno 111] Connection refused
Dec 27 18:00:32 ubu-mini-weather weewx[10917]:   Exiting...



The serial port converter wants to use socket 3001.  Worked fine in wview, 
so I chaged the socket address in weewx.conf to be 192.168.198.202:3001.  
Then, I get the following:

Dec 27 17:31:29 ubu-mini-weather weewx[10673]: engine: Loading station type 
Vantage (weewx.drivers.vantage)
Dec 27 17:31:29 ubu-mini-weather weewx[10673]: vantage: Socket error while 
opening port 2 to ethernet host 192.168.198.202:3001.

: [Errno -2] Name or service not known
Dec 27 17:31:29 ubu-mini-weather weewx[10658]:...done.

So, I'm not sure how to tell it to open the correct socket on the 
lantronix.  I'll have a look at the code, but any ideas?

Thanks

Speculating on your other question, wondering if 'format' would let you add

I've tried \n with no success.  

Suggestions?

As a help for others... perhaps in future version of weewx the default

# Connection type: serial or ethernet

It would provide a further clue to folks.

[weewx-user] Re: Original Vantage Pro, connected via serial-ethernet converter?

[Chris Alemany]

Hi loonsailor,

I have been using a serial to ethernet interface for years as well (with 
the wview software).  I moved to weewx recently and after some digging 
realized the support for serial-ethernet is there, just not documented up 
front.

Just go through the regular install process and when you get into the 
weewx.conf file below is what I am using for my Serial-Ethernet bridge. 
 Exactly what I used for wview all this time.  Worked on the first try.

Good luck!

[Vantage]
# This section is for the Davis Vantage series of weather stations.

# Connection type: serial or ethernet 
#  serial (the classic VantagePro)
#  ethernet (the WeatherLinkIP)
type = ethernet

# If the connection type is serial, a port must be specified:
#   Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat, Fedora, and SuSE:
# /dev/ttyUSB0 is a common USB port name
# /dev/ttyS0   is a common serial port name
#   BSD:
# /dev/cuaU0   is a common serial port name
port = /dev/ttyUSB0

[weewx-user] Re: Best way to add WebDAV to weewx?

[Ben Cotton]

The short-term solution would be to use FUSE to mount your WebDav client 
and have WeeWx write to that. That's how I used to manage the files on my 
website locally. The main issue with that is that the client can be flaky, 
so it might fail sometimes.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Not getting archived data on console of WS2080

[Andrew Milner]

I assume that you still have to open the port on the mobile device, and may 
need some assistance from your IP in order to achieve that goal.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Original Vantage Pro, connected via serial-ethernet converter?

[Thomas Keffer]

It's a good question. The code to decode the older VP packets has been in
weewx since time zero, but I have no idea if anyone has actually tried it!
But, I doubt it would be a big problem.

As for the Lantronix, that's outside the scope of WeeWX. If it can make the
port look like a serial port, then it should work. Your biggest problem may
be finding the right driver for Ubuntu.

Only one way to find out for sure: try the setup. There is little risk
besides an hour or two of your time.

Thanks, Doug

Could you put your comments in the Wiki? That way it will be easier for
someone to find, rather than search through the nearly 5,000 topics in
weewx-user.

Perhaps something in the hardware
 section?

[weewx-user] Best way to add WebDAV to weewx?

[gjr80]

Hi,

I am sure Tom will give you some well considered thoughts from the top idc, but 
in the meantime a few comments:

- WeeWX implements ftp and friends as a generator run via a skin. There is 
probably no reason why a webDAV generator could not be developed.
- You could ask for a WebDAV generator to be developed but I would not expect 
anything in a hurry unless there is a lot of user interest; however, if you are 
a keen python programmer or eager to learn. If you are keen have a look at 
the FtpGenerator and RsyncGenerator classes in bin/weewx/reportengine.py
- The webdavclient library is not part of the python 2.x standard library so 
it's unlikely a WebDAV generator would be included as part of weeWX per se (Tom 
is keen to keep external dependencies to a minimum) but no reason it could not 
be developed as a user controlled extension.
- If you are au fait with git you could just clone the weeWX repo and work on 
that or just start working on a local weeWX install. There are numerous user 
developed weeWX extensions/drivers published on github.
- The Notes for Developers document (http://weewx.com/docs/devnotes.htm) has 
some general guidance for those developing code for use with weeWX.

Gary
