[weewx-user] Re: NOOB Questions on "Installation using setup.py" on Raspberry Pi

[radi...@gmail.com]

OK - I think I got connected and allowed part of the log to be captured.  
Time to do more reading...

I read in the Logia manual that when plugged into a USB port, the console 
pulls some power via USB.  So I wanted to check for undervoltage with dmesg 
and noticed this when plugging in the console:

[356628.885042] usb 1-1.3: new full-speed USB device number 10 using dwc_otg
[356629.001467] usb 1-1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=1941, 
idProduct=8021, bcdDevice= 0.00

usb-3f98.usb-1.3/input0

This would seem to confirm Bob Atchley's in comment in 
https://github.com/bobatchley/weewx-ws6in1 that the Logia is likely 
manufactured by CCL Electronics.

I've found dmseg to be helpful for a number of things, including what the 
OS "thinks" about a USB device plugged into a port as it tried to make it 
accessible.

Cheers,
Bob

Looks promising!

Re: [weewx-user] Problem with weewx-airlink

['John Kline' via weewx-user]

You’re getting this because the timestamp is bad:
'ts': 85460

The specific message: user.airlink: last_report_time must be time since boot: 
85441 seconds.
is worded that way because I found airlink was reporting time since reboot 
(rather than time since epoch).  I observed this behavior until the airlink 
started reporting concentrations.  I specifically check for pm1 to determine 
this state.  In the case below, pm_1 is missing ('pm_1': None).

I wouldn’t try to get this running in weewx until you have good data.  In a 
browser, go to:
http:///v1/current_conditions

You need a good timestamp to show up here (e.g., right now, "ts": 1653499667) 
and good concentrations (rather than None); e.g., "pm_1": 5.16

Since it’s finding no valid concentrations, you are seeing the message “Could 
not get concentrations from any source.”

Re: [weewx-user] Problem with weewx-airlink

[Doug Jenkins]

My guess since you do not see the device in weatherlink.com is that it is
not reporting correctly on the network.


1.  First see if you can open your web browser to the api of the airlink
device.

for example: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/v1/current_conditions
You should see JSON data returned.

2. Also check the APi Documentation from Davis (Introduction | AirLink
Local API (weatherlink.github.io)
 about how the
device works on a network. From their documentation, AirLink devices
advertise their presence on the local network using DNS Service Discovery
 over multicast DNS (mDNS)
. These technologies are also known as
Zeroconf or Bonjour or Avahi.

I have a weewx-airlink device and I followed this guide using the driver
with success. Please let me know if you have any questions.



if not,

[weewx-user] Re: NOOB Questions on "Installation using setup.py" on Raspberry Pi

[radi...@gmail.com]

@Bob Atchley - Thanks!  Not confusing (to me) at all!  ;-)

Very helpful- particularly the Wiki links.  My usage of GitHub has been 
very limited from what I now see for WeeWX, so I'll have to do some 
exploring.  I've used Wikis often but was unaware GitHub has such a rich 
capability.

Thanks Again-
Bob

 You're perhaps overthinking a bit.

 1. weewx runs as root by default, so there's little gained by making a 
 non-'pi' user really.   As long as your pi is adequately secured (change 
 the 'pi' password of course) you're probably ok with the default setup. 
  You could choose to make a different non-privileged user but it gains 
 little unless you change things to run as that non-privileged user rather 
 than root, which ups the ante a bit re: permissions to talk to the 
 hardware 
 etc.  I'd suggest just running the defaults at least initially.

 2. I don't know why you're messing with setup.cfg at all.  If you want 
 to run a setup.py install, just go with it.  It'll put everything under 
 /home/weewx in one place.   

Re: [weewx-user] Davis Data Logger - Issue

[WindnFog]

A powered hub makes it just as bad, and possibly worse, Tom.  But, with 
your "more forgiving" Vantage driver, it is far better than before.  So I 
am quite willing to live with it as it is.  

As mentioned in the same thread, I removed my cron job that calls a 
program, and I'm using the tags you recommended based on the NOAA 
generation template.  That's a far better approach.

Re: [weewx-user] vp2 - how to disable ch2?

[Graham Eddy]

i can power down, pull it apart, put the batteries in backwards. how do i reset 
it?
(and why would wee_device be failing to reconfigure ch2 but work successfully 
otherwise?)

Re: [weewx-user] vp2 - how to disable ch2?

[Stephen Hocking]

An alternative might be to use a different driver - does rtl_433 pick up
its transmissions? If so, using the SDR driver could work, and you wouldn't
have weewx resetting after failed USB comms.

Re: [weewx-user] vp2 - how to disable ch2?

[Graham Eddy]

QC is filtering out the bad values, but weewx server is currently resetting 
after 4 failed retries on regular basis while the phantom station haunts the 
vp2. there is no radio signal being transmitted to provide the extraTemp1 
values, it is just a figment of data logger’s imagination. the phantom 
battery-low apparently from the ex-station stopped yesterday, but the data 
logger is still reporting the extraTemp1 despite my (failed) wee_device 
instruction just now to desist

i do ‘wee_device —set-transmitter-type=2,10’ and it gives ’no ’ error.
then i do ‘wee_device —info’ and it reports ch2 still enabled
so it is not just a case of resetting memory/power

weewx v4.5.1 using python3.7 on RPi 4B running buster with usb/serial
(vp2 firmware is from 2004. lately weewx has been resetting whenever the (now 
ex-) extra station reported low battery, so this bogus extraTemp1 value 
upsetting weewx is kinda understandable → i need to turn all vestiges of the 
(ex-) extra station off)

Re: [weewx-user] vp2 - how to disable ch2?

[Stephen Hocking]

Given such a whacko figure, perhaps under the [[Corrections]] section under
[StdCalibrate], or more suitably, something under [StdQC].

You have nothing to apologise over, you did exactly the right thing. Was

Thanks Gary, that's been changed. Is it worth testing to see if the 
version of weewx installed can use the new logging system first as in 
https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-windy/blob/master/bin/user/windy.py ?

[weewx-user] vp2 - how to disable ch2?

[Graham Eddy]

my old vantage pro2’s additional wireless temp station at ch2 (iss is at ch1) 
has carked it (crushed in tree fall). it exists no more; it is not 
transmitting. my vp2 data logger is faithfully reporting a phantom value of 
about 150 C (not bad for a river!) every few seconds, how do i disable this 
phantom?

i tried (with weewx not running) ‘wee_device --set-transmitter-type=2,10’ to 
set ch2 to none, but all i get is an error ‘No  received from Vantage 
console’, and it continues reporting the phantom when i start weewx again. how 
can i stop this phantom?
cheers
