[weewx-user] Re: How do I monitor for "BatteryStatus': 1"

[gjr80]

Meant to add, I seem to remember a few posts on this over the years.  If you 
search the groups you will probably find a few posts from users who have 
implemented the lowBattery service covering some of the issues they have had.

Oh wow, Gary, there's actually lowBattery.py in the examples.

I don't know anything about Python but I'll see what I can do, I'll try to 
find someone to help me.

thanks :)

Hi,

You could have weewx do it all for you with a custom service. Have a look 
at the example under Adding a service 
 in the 
Customization Guide. It does a similar thing but uses an arbitrary 
expression. The example binds to the NEW_ARCHIVE_RECORD event so it uses 
data from the archive record, if your data of interest is in the loop 
packet and not the archive record then you would need to bind to the 
NEW_LOOP_PACKET event instead. The example sends an email, though with a 
bit of python nous you could have it do almost anything you want, depending 
on your connectivity and of course your python skills.
