Re: [weewx-user] Errors in 4.3

OK - haven't tried Python3 yet - back on the rain issue. We've had some rain this morning, and it is NOT picking up in WeeWx; captured some debug this morning; but will not be able to look at it until later today or perhaps over the weekend. As I recall, this happened when I upgraded to

Re: [weewx-user] Errors in 4.3

If you're on buster, then it's simple enough to switch to Python 3. Basically, just follow the directions in the Debian guide : wget -qO - https://weewx.com/apt/weewx-python3.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get

Re: [weewx-user] Errors in 4.3

Don't know WHERE I got Squeeze - just checked and confirmed; it's Buster, so would definitely like to at least try to get rid of python 2. On the rain = prefer_hardware, I looked at my old config files, and it seems it's "bounced" back and forth, probably depending on what version of sdr I

Re: [weewx-user] Errors in 4.3

The type 'totalRain' has been in the code for a long time. What I'm wondering about is where did the line rain = prefer_hardware come from. If you are still on squeeze, you're best off staying with Python 2. Not all of the Python 3 pre-requisites are available through the repositories. -tk On

Re: [weewx-user] Errors in 4.3

OK - thanks. Had a bit of a scare when I corrupted my config file and NOTHING would start. I commented rain and rainRate out of StdWXCaiculate and looks good now. I AM getting an N/A in RanRate om the disp;lay, but that's OK for the time being. Will check when we next get rain to see what

Re: [weewx-user] Errors in 4.3

Try removing the line rain = prefer_hardware It's what's causing the StdWXCalculate service to try and calculate a value. I wonder where that line came from. I don't recall it ever being part of weewx.conf -tk On Sat, Jan 16, 2021 at 4:58 PM Clay Jackson wrote: > I'm using an Accurite 5n1 -

I'm using an Accurite 5n1 - this has been working since early 3.x; just stopped in 4.3, I AM using my 4.2 config files and skins. [StdWXCalculate] [[Calculations]] # Derived quantities are calculated by this service. Possible values are: # hardware- use the value

Re: [weewx-user] Errors in 4.3

Normally, the driver does it, but if asked, WeeWX can calculate 'rain' from cumulative quantities such as totalRain, by taking a difference. Your configuration file seems to be asking to do so, but totalRain is not available. As for why it's asking, that's not clear. What does the section

[weewx-user] Errors in 4.3

I just upgraded (through apt update, using raspbian) to 4.3.0 and am seeing the following error. Jan 16 15:59:12 Weather weewx[17287] INFO __main__: PID file is /var/run/weewx.pid Jan 16 15:59:12 Weather weewx[17275]: Starting weewx weather system: weewx. Jan 16 15:59:12 Weather weewx[17291]
