no, no, no - if zero powers the hub it will achieve nothing. zero should ideally not be supplying power TO anything. put batteries in the weather station for backup purposes. use a usb hub powered by its own power supply, not by the pizero. when you say "did not restart fine offset" what exa

Correct. The data logger. I was assuming that the logger would store more than the two months of data. So it is storing exactly what it should it seems. Well then, I guess it is doing what it is supposed to. Well dangit, I figured it would store at least a year of data or two. On Tuesday,

Hi, By 'dongle' I presume you mean one of the Davis data loggers. If so the logger has a fixed memory and stores archive records in a round robin fashion (ie once memory is full the oldest record is overwritten with the newest). How long a history you can store depends on your archive interval;

I just installed weewx on a davis2 in a remote location that has been online for 10 years with the DONGLE attached. I started weewx and it only has the last three months of data in the history. Does anyone know why it is not displaying all the previous data on the dongle? Does weewx pull th

Hi, Sorry for the tardy reply. You are doing nothing wrong, the released versions of WeeWX do not support importing from WU since WUs changes earlier this year. I have updated wee_import to import from WU using an API key; however, that change will not be rolled out until WeeWX v4.0 is released

I agree. But for starters... Since rebooting Zero does not restart my Fine offset I need an external switch anyway. But as I live on a an isolated island in a small country, getting particular equipment is not easy. This was just perfectly convenient solution with items I had laying around. Of

You still did not say do you really need only notification or want something done based on that data! My Zero today took the sunset time and external temperature directly from WeeWX report, and since it was less than 15C, closed shutters, emailed us and logged that fact. Did not need alarm.Py

I would be cautious about powering the fineoffset from the pizero, and would prefer to have a powered hub to power the weather station. The usb interface on the fineoffsets is somewhat finicky at the best of times!! Inadequate power supplies are behind many issues with rpi and weather station

Amazing amount of work and detail went into WeeWX! It is hard to find what can not be adjusted. I parse data from a small text only report I added. I think: $current.DateTime.Raw is adequate. No need for $latest in this context? $current will be the time report was generated. If too old...

Yes, I will. I would just prefer to test with a possibly working solution. This is an excellent explanation of the problem. Generation is every 5 minutes like you say. My program parses Weewx output 3 minutes later. I test a timestamp of generation. An alternative would be to separate Weewx log
