I know nothing about python either. The directions I used for 20.04 was here: http://weewx.com/docs/debian.htm That's why it says: wget -qO - http://weewx.com/apt/weewx-python3.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list and not wget -qO - http://weewx.com/apt/weewx.list | sudo tee

Hi Greg, Yes, if you build from the server ISO, its a basic server with nearly nothing installed, it expects you to install the apps you want. I didn't want LAMP ( which I think was a menu item ) so I just installed Apache2 and a few other bits manually. Building from the base server ISO

Ubuntu 20.04 doesn't have Apache2 installed by default like Ubuntu used to do when selecting a LAMP server. It is just a generic server as far as I can tell. On Monday, 12 October 2020 at 15:49:26 UTC+11 ti...@skybase.net wrote: > Hi Rich, > > Which Ubuntu 20 did you install on ? server or

I've found that deleting columns out of the schema of the archive table does more hard than good. I had a 3.x installation for a while, and i had trimmed many columns that I didn't need, and also renamed some. While it would work great for general manual querying of the data, many skins would

Hi, The Twitter extension only offers basic unit conversion in the string it publishes, it’s really a case of all or nothing. By default the tweet uses the unit system of your WeeWX database for all obs. I’m guessing you are using the METRIC unit system in your database (target_unit = METRIC

After moving the ignore lines, I am happy to report that the time problem is solved; that is, it is no longer rejecting the topic. However, it is still not making it into the database. I think this is because it is not converting from snow/snowDepth to snowDepth. See attached syslog extract

I've run both extensions off and on, so I don't think there is any conflict. The root-root cause is time skew between your pi and weather station and MQTTSubscribe being a bit overly aggressive on its quality control. Setting ignore_start_time and ignore_end_time should turn this off
