[weewx-user] Re: weewx-sftp question

[Steve2Q]

Tom and Paul: thank you both. I will give it a shot, but I am a bit wary as 
to what to do if it breaks my install. Guess the best thing to do is a 
backup of all the weewx files and directories first.

[weewx-user] weewx-sftp question

[Steve2Q]

Hello. I am having problems (again) trying to use ftp with DreamHost. They 
recommend changing to sftp, so I changed weewx conf to make   secure_ftp = 
True. I am using Weewx V 3.8.2

Apparently, just making secure_ftp = True is not working. Should I try 
using weewx-sftp and will it work with 3.8.2?

 Thanks

[weewx-user] StdCalibrate math question

[Steve2Q]

I have a calibration curve for my outdoor humidity sensor that includes 
division and an exponent. The formula is : OutHumidity = 
92.2/(1+(1/(OutHumididty/64.6)^3.47))  Can this be handled by StdCalibrate?

Re: [weewx-user] ftpupload suddenly stopped working, but....

[Steve2Q]

Tom. I finally got a support tech who was able to solve the problem. 
Apparently Dreamhost has made some OS changes which can cause problems with 
FTP. I would like to change to SFTP,  but I am not sure  how to go about 
it. The options you referred to do not exist in my weewx.conf file, and I 
really don't want to upgrade as I don't want to break the Steel Gauges 
which took me a LONG time to get operating properly. Is there a guide to 
changing over to SFTP for a "legacy" version of Weewx. Is it as simple as 
changing secure_ftp to True, and port to 22?

The following is the {FTP} section of my weewx.conf file:
 [[FTP]]
# FTP'ing the results to a webserver is treated as just another 
report,
# albeit one with an unusual report generator!
skin = Ftp

# If you wish to use FTP, uncomment and fill out the next four 
lines.
# Use quotes around passwords to guard against parsing errors.
server = www.xxx
path = xxx/yyy
user = aaa
password = bbb

# Set to True for an FTP over TLS (FTPS) connection. Not all servers
# support this.
secure_ftp = False

# To upload files from something other than what HTML_ROOT is set
# to above, specify a different HTML_ROOT here.
#HTML_ROOT = public_html

# Most FTP servers use port 21
port = 21

# Set to 1 to use passive mode, zero for active mode
passive = 0

Thanks, Steve

[weewx-user] ftpupload suddenly stopped working, but....

[Steve2Q]

Last evening, my system stopped uploading to Dreamhost.

I get the following message in syslog: " ftpupload: Unable to connect or 
log into server : timed out"

I have checked my config file and my credentials are correct, and using the 
identical credentials I can use my terminal program (Putty) to successfully 
log into Dreamhost. I also have SteelGauges installed, and that is running 
OK.

My ISP did "maintenance" last night, and my IP address has changed, so I 
checked with support on Dreamhost, and they said my new IP has NOT been 
blocked. What further information can I supply so someone can give me some 
guidance? I am running Weewx v 3.8.2

Thanks

[weewx-user] Need help with change to SFTP

[Steve2Q]

Hello. I am a long time user, but have not had any reason (so far) to 
update from V3.8.2. In the past few weeks, I have had problems where my 
files stopped uploading to DreamHost. They found the error on their end, 
but recommend that I change for FTP to SFTP. I have two questions:

1. Will this affect my Steel Gauges which continue working fine even when 
the "regular" Weewx files are not uploading?

2. I am a very casual user, so I found that the directions on the Wiki are 
insufficient to make me comfortable making the change. Can anyone walk me 
through how to do it?

Thanks, Steve

[weewx-user] StdQC question

[Steve2Q]

Hello: I am using v 3.8.2. I currently have the StdQC value set for 
outHumidity= 50, 100 and it is working properly. My question is this: Is 
there a way to have rate of change rather than set boundaries to be used? I 
think the answer is NO, but I wanted to check.

Thanks, Steve

[weewx-user] Documentation change suggestion

[Steve2Q]

Hi..I was reading the docs to see if a mathematical expression can be used 
as a correction and found the answer is yes. However, I noticed that there 
is a statement that for a simple offset for a Davis instrument it can be 
done in hardware. I would add that this can also be done with a Peet Bros. 
unit. An extremely small nit to pick!

Re: [weewx-user] Re: FTP failure

[Steve2Q]

 Gary: I am still trying to get things working.

Here is where I am at currently;
Software versions:
Weewx:3.8.2
SteelSeries Gauges:   2.7.3
Rtgd:   0.3.7

The gauge-data.text file is not updating with loops. It is there, but when 
I refresh it does not change   ( 
https://photokinetics.org/Weather/gauge-data.txt )

When I set Debug =1, I get the following error every loop (approx 2.5 
seconds)
Sep 21 11:00:43 raspberrypi weewx[920]: rtgdthread: Failed to post data: 
Unexpected response

Everything else appears to be working: on startup, I get this:

Sep 21 11:10:24 raspberrypi weewx[1311]: rtgd: RealTimeGaugeData scroller 
text will use Weather Underground forecast data
Sep 21 11:10:24 raspberrypi weewx[1311]: rtgdthread: 
'/var/tmp/gauge-data.txt' wil be generated. min_interval is None

In your opinion, at this point, should I uninstall SteelSeries and Rtgd on 
my RPi, and deleted the /ss directory on the web server and start over?

Re: [weewx-user] Re: FTP failure

[Steve2Q]

Gary: my host told me how to access my log files, and in the instructions 
was this:

" I checked on the error logs, and today's log is empty, which is good in
the way that it would indicate the hosting environment is working
correctly. Please check on the logs and if you need further support let
us know, we'll be happy to help."

The error.log for today is empty.

The .php file WAS missing from /Weather, but my adding it does not appear 
to have changed anything.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: FTP failure

[Steve2Q]

Gary..I my son granted me aux user permission on DreamHost. I was then able 
to communicate directly with support. They found my IP had been blocked, 
possibly for too much activity even though I have never changed anything on 
my end (perhaps someone hacked the account?). They unblocked it and a few 
hours later the main Weewx program is working,  however my Steel gauges are 
not filling in properly (photokinetics.org/Weather). Its been so long since 
I changed anything, I don't remember if there is a setting in steel gauges 
that requires my password to DreamWorks. I did change it, and changed the 
FTP file for weewx. I am thinking of switching from FTP to Rsync for 
security reasons, but I dont know how that will effect other parts of the 
program. Anyway, maybe you know where I have to make a change within the 
rtg files and as always, I thank you for your patient help.

Peter..I had the exact same problem with DreamHost. For some reason they 
blocked my IP. They unblocked it yesterday afternoon, and FTP started 
working a few hours later.

Gary and ewhain..
Thanks for replying. I changed the password to something with less "odd"

[weewx-user] Wundermap zooming question

[Steve2Q]

When I zoom out on the Wundermap to try and compare my stations reading 
with others, past a certain point my station will disappear and them 
reappear when zooming back in.

Also the "Save Preference" button does save.

Are these bugs in Wundermap, or is there a setting(s) that I am missing?

Thanks

[weewx-user] Re: Need some help changing a chart

[Steve2Q]

Hi Gary. Thanks for the good wishes. I tested negative this AM. I played 
around for a while, and decided that WindGust would show me what I wanted 
on the chart; agreement with the daily High Wind under Since Midnight. I 
also had the epiphany (at least it was for me because I did it before

Speed. So here is a screen grab of the chart where the high wind speed 
since midnight is 11mph at 1644:

[weewx-user] Re: Need some help changing a chart

[Steve2Q]

Hi Gary. I did not get to try your suggestions until today. We went on a 3 
week cruise, but when I got home I ended up with Covid. Not a very bad 
case, but I am just now getting my act together.
Just a few comments:
1. I made your suggested change by commenting out the lines pertaining to 
wind gust, but I want to wait until I see a full days plot before making 
any other changes. One thing I do see is that the 1 Hour Average Speed is 
showing as dots rather than a continuous line as before. Does that mean the 
LineGap fraction has to be changed?
2. Regarding the windspeed v windgust differences you mention. I have a 
Peet Bros Ultimeter, so the windspeed (along with the other parameters) is 
emitted nearly constantly. My archive interval is 2 minutes, while the 
Loops are approx every 2 seconds. I noticed that when I had windgust 
included in the plot, it appeared to more accurately reflect the "High 
Wind" reading under "Since Midnight" on the Current Conditions page. Is it 
possible to have windgust plotted while having the chart label as windspeed?

I just want to say thank you for all the help you have given me over the 
past few years...it is greatly appreciated

[weewx-user] Need some help changing a chart

[Steve2Q]

Hi all. I have not been on since BC (before Covid). I want to change my 
windspeed chart, but so far (because I forgot what my initial change was), 
I have not been successful. Here is what I would like to do;
Presently my windspeed chart looks like the attached. I thought I was being 
clever at the time by adding what I thought was windgust, but this was 
incorrect as my console (Peet Bros) only sends wind speed. I also added 
average windspeed. As you can see, the actual windspeed (blue) is labeled 
Gust Speed while the incorrect windgust (black) is labeled Wind Speed. What 
I want to do is get rid of the windgust completely and have the true wind 
speed labeled properly. I also want to keep the average windspeed as that 
calculation appears correct. 
The following snip is from my skin.conf file:

 #time_length = 43200
   #  Removed # on following 5/8/18 Switched order of WindSpeed and WindGust
  windGust
color = 'blue'
anti_alias = 2
   #  Changed color and data_type
  wind_avg
color = 'yellow'
data_type = windSpeed
aggregate_type = avg
aggregate_interval = 3600# 1 Hour
line_gap_fraction = 0.05
label =  1 Hour Avg Speed
   #  End of addition
   windSpeed
color = 0x00
anti_alias = 2

Thanks for any help..

[weewx-user] Re: Trying to eliminate bad data

[Steve2Q]

Vince..thanks. I solved the problem by starting with sudo su. Haven't done 
any LInux in quite a while so I forgot about that one. Another question: I 
am thinking of adding lines to [StdQC] to eliminate any outHumidity values 
<20. By doing this, will it also take care of the calculated dewpoint and 
heat index values, or will I need separate entries for each?
Thanks.

[weewx-user] Trying to eliminate bad data

[Steve2Q]

Hi..I followed the instructions here:  
https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Cleaning-up-old-'bad'-data

First, I shut down Weewx and made a copy of my weewx.sdb file. When I tried 
to change the bad data (on the copy) to NULL, I received an sqlite3 error 
that I could not write to a read-only file. I thought that weewx.sdb 
allowed writing, so why would a copy turn into read-only?

Thanks.

[weewx-user] Lost my weather cam (sort of)

[Steve2Q]

Hi...for quite a while I have had a raspberry pi based weather cam running 
on Weewx. This camera is one of several which uses MotionEye and goes over 
Wifi to another RasPi acting as a LAN based camera "server". When I connect 
to my home network, the camera shows up perfectly under Weewx. The problem 
is when I pull up Weewx on another network, the camera is not there. I am 
sure it is a port forwarding problem, but I have tried many combinations of 
IP address and ports and so far have been unsuccessful. I should add that 
it worked fine until recently. Has anyone else had similar problems and 
have any pointers?
Thanks.

If I go to the main CWOP site and try to find data from myself there, there 
is none. Perhaps I have a misunderstanding on what shows and what doesn't. 
I received the following email on Friday (which I replied to) so maybe the

Hi Burt: I have a 2100 (for years now) and I have not experienced your 
problem. My barometric pressure and humidity are sent to my website, 
weather underground, and PWS. I just joined CWOP (as a non-ham as I am not 
set up for APRS), and I will see if I have the same problem.
Have you looked at the raw output from the 2100 to see if the data is in 
the loops?

[Steve2Q]

Hello again. I finally figured out the problem, and it was me! I had to 
read a bit more about port forwarding, etc. and found that I assigned the 
wrong address in index.html.tmpl  . Instead of the address of the camera, I 
should have put in the WAN address of the router. Now I have the camera on 
my Weewx webpage and can view it from outside. My only question is: have I 
created some sort of security hole?

Xant, Peter, and Rich. I was out of town and could not answer. Thank you 
all for getting back to me. Here is what I have now;  4 RasberryPi cameras 
with a hub (so I can view all 4 cams simultaneously) all running 
MotionEyeOS. I can access each camera and the hub separately using WiFi or 
a wired connection in my home. To enable outside access, I port forwarded 
the hub to a NoIP address. I thought, incorrectly, that if a forwarded the 
single camera I could view the stream. That is where I am right now. If you 
need more specific info, let me know and thanks again.

[weewx-user] Upgrade question

[Steve2Q]

I am thinking of changing from 3.8.2 to 3.9.2 mainly to try the seasons skin. A 
few questions..I remember seeing that I might have to change Python versions, 
but now I can't find that reference. Is this correct? Second, I have Weewx  
playing very nicely with SteelSeriesGuages after many fits and starts. Will 
upgrading break my Weewx/SS connection? I still have that old increasing memory 
problem, but have found a cludgy workaround.

Thanks

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Second crash after 11 days

[Steve2Q]

A follow-up to the memory problem. At present, Weewx will run for 45 days 
before my script restarts the program at 80% memory usage (approx 1.8% 
increase/day). I am not home, but when I get back I will shut down SteelSeries 
gauges and see what effect that has. The gauges are the only extension 
currently running.

Gary...I was away for the weekend, so when I checked in using the Chrome

However, if I pull up the guages on my desktop or tablet, they are frozen

on the Steel Gauges button at the bottom and see if you observe the same 
behavior. I tried both Chrome and Firefox on both devices. Thanks.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Second crash after 11 days

[Steve2Q]

Leon and Vince; first thanks for your help and advice. My only experience 
in programming was a LONG time ago, so anything I learn is either from 
helpful people like you or what I can figure out by searching the web. I 
did come to the conclusion that the nesting order of the expressions is 
most likely why the email is not being sent properly. My next bit of 
research will be in how to properly nest if / then statements. The reason I 
picked such low values is I did not want to wait so long for the %mem to 
climb to a high value so I could see what is happening. I was careful in 
copying the original script that I found, so I can only assume it didn't 
run properly as originally written, and no one called the writer out on it. 
As for the multitude of braces, parenthesis, and who knows what else, that 
is me not knowing proper syntax. Here is where I found the script, (he uses 
free -m) if you want to see it:  
https://superuser.com/questions/419617/how-to-monitor-memory-usage-for-alarming-purpose
 
It is answer #3.

Leon, This all started when I noticed my system was crashing after running 
for a relatively short time. There are almost 8 pages (!) but back around 
Jan 38 I think I posted the results of top.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Second crash after 11 days

[Steve2Q]

Leon: thank you very much for your reply...lots of interesting things 
there. I like the top command rather than free as top would give me the % 
of memory used by weewxd. I took the command ps -C weewxd -o 
comm,size,rss,vsize,%mem (which I never saw before, thank you!) and 
shortened it to ps -C weewxd -o %mem as that is the parameter I am 
interested in tracking. I then made the following script, which has a 
problem: It does not send the email when the first "threshold" is exceeded; 
it sends an email that the second threshold is exceeded and simultaneously 
restarts weewx. Do I have something in the wrong order in the script?


---
#!/bin/bash

threshold=3
threshold2=4

usage=$(($(ps -C weewxd -o %mem |awk 'NR==2 {printf ("%.0f", $1}')))

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Second crash after 11 days

[Steve2Q]

A little follow up. As the memory growth is still happening, I implemented 
a script which runs the program free -m and does a little calculation to 
determine if memory use is over 80% (or any % I want to use). If mem >80% 
weewx is restarted. So at least it now will run unattended.

A new question with Steel Gauges. I did the re-installation of RTG on April 
9. I just noticed that the gauges themselves are working perfectly, the pop 
up charts are showing April 9; they have not updated. I probably have the 
wrong syntax somewhere?

[weewx-user] Probably an OT Linux question, but:

[Steve2Q]

I SSH'd into my Pi to do a weewx restart;

I used to type /etc/init.d/weewx restart and the command just worked

Now it says the following:  

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ /etc/init.d/weewx restart
[] Restarting weewx (via systemctl): weewx.service AUTHENTICATING 
FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units ===
Authentication is required to restart 'weewx.service'.
Multiple identities can be used for authentication:
 1.  ,,, (pi)
 2.  root
Choose identity to authenticate as (1-2): 1
Password:

when I choose #1 and type my password the command  executes

This just suddenly started with no changes that I made.

I know this may be way OT, but I have looked and could not find an answer 
elsewhere.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Second crash after 11 days

[Steve2Q]

Seems like I may not be upgrading. I have to point out that even after 
switching back to 11rc3 the memory growth is still there albeit slower. I 
guess I did not notice it before as the failure occurred over a longer 
period of time than what happened when a different driver was installed 
after an update. Here are the results from top:

Version 11rc3  94 hours 7.2% Version 0.25  96 hours  9.9%

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Second crash after 11 days

[Steve2Q]

Hello;  as of today, Weewx has been running for 96 hours and Top shows 
memory to be 9.9% which is a big improvement. I don't know if you want to 
do any more tweaking, Tom. If not, I can always set a cron to stop and 
restart Weewx once a month. This would be a restart when Mem = 54%

I would like to install the newest Weewx version, so would I be safe in 
assuming that driver v 0.25 will act the same as now?  And just in case, if 
I do run into problems, would my old 11rc3 driver be compatible with the 
newest Weewx version if I have to revert?

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Second crash after 11 days

[Steve2Q]

Here are today's numbers: 48 hours at 6.6%. While it is still going up, at 
the present rate I estimate that it should hit 90% in 55 days, which is 
much better than the 11 days it started at. Maybe it will level off. I will 
continue my updates. And thank you Tom and Matt for continuing to help.

Tom; at 25 hours top shows 5.0% v  4.4% at 24 hours for 11rc3 and is still 
going up.

Also 0.25 is throwing off sporadic buffer errors as follows.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Second crash after 11 days

[Steve2Q]

Weewx has been running for 24 hours now with the 11rc3 driver. Top shows 
4.4% memory usage v 7.5% for the 0.22 driver. A previous run of 11rc3 
resulted in 4.8% after 31 hours v 9.0% for v 0.22

So obviously there is something going on with the newer drivers, but I 
cannot hazard a guess as to what.

If the memory problem cannot be solved with the newer drivers, can I use 
11rc3 with the newest version of Weewx? I have never had a problem with 
negative values..in Florida we never get below 0.

Tom..I will put 11rc2 back and let it run for at least 24 hours. Then, we will

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Second crash after 11 days

[Steve2Q]

My experience so far:

With driver v 0.22, I first did a run of 44 hours with the DISABLE_ removed 
from the set time and get time portions of the driver. TOP showed 3.3% 
memory usage at startup, which climbed to 10.4% at 44 hours.

I then replaced the DISABLE_ in both lines which put the driver back to its 
original state. Again there was 3.3% usage at startup, and while I am 
writing this, I have 9.1% after 36 hours. I am going to let in run in the 
current state to see if it levels off.

Ralph, do you see the same thing happening?

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Second crash after 11 days

Ralph. Thanks for joining this discussion. A few questions:

1. What is your station URL? There are not too many of us Ultimeter users, 
but I think it is great that Tom, Matt, Andrew, Vince and so many other 
help out our small population as best they can. Having another 2100 user 
may make debugging easier (?).

2. Which version of the driver did you try? The newest one, I assume. I am 
going to try it with the debug "switches" turned on. And which version did 
you roll back to?

A follow up: According to Peet Bros web site the Ultimeter 2100 (and 
several other models) emit data in 48 byte chunks in Data Logger Mode, 
while ultimeter.py (version .20) apparently expects 52 bytes. Could this be 
the problem?. Here is a snip from their web site:


   - *Data Logger Mode**:  to manually select, press CLEAR + WIND SPEED for 
   3 seconds. ** While in this mode, records are sent out continuously at 
   up to about 120 per minute.  The total record size is 48 hex digits + 
   header, carriage return and line feed.  (All models)* 
   - *Packet Mode**:  to manually select, press CLEAR + WIND CHILL for 3 
   seconds.  While in this mode, one record is output every five minutes (at 5 
   min past the hour, 10 min past, 15 min past, etc.). The total record length 
   is 52 hex digits + header, carriage return and line feed.  (All models)*

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Second crash after 11 days

[Steve2Q]

Hello: I have been out of town for several days. The good news is top shows 
weexd using only 4.6% of memory. The bad news is there are now many gaps in 
the charts (see example), which apparently are caused by the "unexpected 
error byte messages" I have been getting. So the question remains should I 
drop back to the driver that worked even though it may prevent me from 
upgrading to the newest Weewx version?

Matt...I have the model 2100, and it was manufactured in 2006 (I just got 
off the phone with Peet Bros.).

Just FYI,  you probably know this information, but here is the link to 
their page which shows the serial output for the different modes:   
http://www.peetbros.com/shop/custom.aspx?recid=29

I will make your recommended changes and start now.  How long should I let 
it run with the debugging on?

Here is an update. After running for 16 hours 40 minutes memory usage is 
5.0%, and Weewx itself is running normally. The only difference now is the 
console clock is no longer being corrected as it was with version 11rc3.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Second crash after 11 days

Tom. I am going to let Weewx run for another 12  hours before making the 
change. That way I can be sure memory usage has leveled off.

A general question; if it turns out that both 11rc3 and 0.20 work, is there 
any other advantage to changing to 0.20? Is it more compatible with future 
changes in Weewx or perhaps with Python 3?

"""Driver for Peet Bros Ultimeter weather stations except the Ultimeter II

This driver assumes the Ultimeter is emitting data in Peet Bros Data Logger
mode format.

Resources for the Ultimeter stations

Ultimeter Models 2100, 2000, 800, & 100 serial specifications:
  http://www.peetbros.com/shop/custom.aspx?recid=29

Ultimeter 2000 Pinouts and Parsers:
  http://www.webaugur.com/ham-radio/52-ultimeter-2000-pinouts-and-parsers.html

Ultimeter II
  not supported by this driver

All models communicate over an RS-232 compatible serial port using three
wires--RXD, TXD, and Ground (except Ultimeter II which omits TXD).  Port
parameters are 2400, 8N1, with no flow control.

The Ultimeter hardware supports several "modes" for providing station data
to the serial port.  This driver utilizes the "modem mode" to set the date
and time of the Ultimeter upon initialization and then sets it into Data
Logger mode for continuous updates.

Modem Mode commands used by the driver
>A  Set Date and Time (decimal digits  = day of year,
 = minute of day; Jan 1 = , Midnight = )

>I  Set output mode to Data Logger Mode (continuous output)

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Second crash after 11 days

[Steve2Q]

Possible success??!!

Yesterday I changed only one item, the driver. I rolled back to 11rc3 which 
has had two effects. First, after running for 24 hours the memory usage is 
up to only 4.4% where before it would be around 9+%. Second,  Weewx has 
reset the time on my console to within 2 seconds of the correct time where 
under .18 it kept drifting.

There are no other apparent effects on the graphs or anything else within 
Weewx at this time. While there are very few Ultimeter users, I am going to 
see if I can get some responses as to what model Ultimeter is being used 
and which driver.

Will see how it goes over the next few days...hope springs eternal!

Tom: Thanks for checking in..I was going to get back to you after a few 
more days of running. At at this point, it still appears to be acting the 
same way. It is so regular that I derived a formula for % of memory v 
time:  % = .253 (time in hours) + 3.24  

For 2 Days 6 hours 50 minutes, % = .253 (56.83) + 3.24  = 17.62   Top show 
17.0%  I know this is irrelevant, but it is interesting nonetheless.

Is there any possibility that substituting an older driver may work? The 
newest version (0.18) is quite different than the older ones.
