This will be a good test of the automatic upgrade. :-) Unless you are using an extension, or have done a searchlist extension, it should just work. Note that there is no longer a statistical summary file (stats.sdb). Instead, the daily summaries are now included inside the weewx.sdb file. So,

The URLs you have posted show values of 0.06 or 0.07, but your narrative talks about 0.6 and 0.7. I assume the former is correct and the latter is just a typo? The value for dailyrainin comes from field dayRain in the current record, which, in turn, is pulled off the Vantage weather station. This

I'm not sure what that error is, but it has nothing to do with weewx. It's being emitted by Qt (a user-interface library). The log you want is /var/log/syslog (not /var/log/user.log). See what's in there. -tk On Fri, Sep 2, 2016 at 6:41 PM, 'Don l' via weewx-user < weewx-user@googlegroups.com>

That's the way the Vantage series emits ET. Quoting the manual: '[Archive records include] ET accumulated over the last hour. Only records "on the hour" will have a non-zero value.' This is why only aggregated ET values make sense. -tk On Thu, Sep 1, 2016 at 10:16 AM, Joachim Puttkammer
