WeatherLink Live is not supported by weewx. At least, not yet. See Issue #412 . On Thu, Feb 20, 2020 at 8:16 AM david glenn wrote: > Andrew, you misunderstand what I am trying to do. I have weewx on a RPI > and I'm using Raspbian as the OS. I am at

[weewx-user] Re: users guide for python3 installation

Andrew, you misunderstand what I am trying to do. I have weewx on a RPI and I'm using Raspbian as the OS. I am at the point that weewx is not accepting the IP address of the WeatherLink LIVE on my network. I dug into the Davis knowledge base and it clearly states that the port to use is

[weewx-user] Re: users guide for python3 installation

weewx is designed for unix/linux systems, so in my opinion you should be running on a native linux/usinx system rather than some variety of linux running on windows 10. run on an RPI and get to know the delights of linux/raspbian/whatever. Collect the data in the sqlite database. Generate a

It may not be relevant but I am using the WeatherLink LIVE device to receive the sensor data and transfer it to my network. On Sunday, February 2, 2020 at 9:52:51 AM UTC-5, david glenn wrote: > > I am new to weewx and have very basic linux and python skills. I'd like > to run weewx on windows

[weewx-user] Re: users guide for python3 installation

To answer Glenn's question I have tried : cd /home/weewx sudo ./bin/weewxd weewx.conf and nothing was returned. In weewx.config there is the statement: WEEWX_ROOT = /home/weewx if that is of any value I have attached the Vantage portion of weewx.config. It is a plain text document.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: users guide for python3 installation

Unless you've configured weewx to run as a non root user, I'd suggest it's because it hasn't the permissions to run the driver. Your screenshot shows that user pi is starting it. Try the following... cd /home/weewx sudo ./bin/weewxd weewx.conf On 20/02/2020, rich T wrote: > > Mike > > Can you

Well, you don’t say what results you got from running any commands other than the pyton-objconfig. For that install, I see you are getting a verification error. As such, run these two commands: $ sudo apt-key update $ sudo apt-get update If that doesn’t work, please state if there is any good

I see now why I sent you the command to install python3’s configobj. The subject is python3 installation. Back to python 2... You should always update before you install. Let’s try to get things into better shape. Run the following commands in order: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade

With the regard to SD card wear. My install of weewx finally frozen after about 3/4 years running on an odroid (bit like a Pi), probably mmc card failure. Since I have NAS on site anyway, I bought a new Pi4 and network boot it using NFS off the NAS (store the whole Pi SD card partitions on

[weewx-user] Re: users guide for python3 installation

thank you all for the encouragement and ideas. The gist of the posts is go with the python 2.7 and version 3 of weewx. That is probably the safest since the only 2 statements I know in python 3 are exit() = exit and print = print(). If I find the model 2 RPi unstable I'll go for the newer

hi david, although python 2.7 works just fine, and will continue to work just fine, all new development is done in python3. we will ensure that weewx4 works with both python2 and python3, but at some point there will probably be a version of weewx (weewx5?) that is python3 only. at some
