[weewx-user] Re: OurWeather by SwitchDoc
Hi mwall,
Thanks for the pointers, I have some Qs.
This is what my JSON looks like at http://192.168.1.9/FullDataString:
{"FullDataString":
"25.60,89.30,29.42,101926.00,592.16,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,1,2019-10-17
18:39:19,NIBM,0,-1,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,V:1,WXLMB
,0,,,0,,,0", "id": "1", "name": "OurWeather", "hardware": "esp8266",
"connected": true}
This station supports Air Quality and Lightning detection sensors which
I've currently mapped (to ignore) as extraTemp and soilTemp for now.
The trouble from the JSON is multi-part:
1. After part14 which is dateTime, the user-configured Station Name is
sent for which I don't see an option to specify in
https://github.com/weewx/weewx/blob/master/bin/schemas/wview.py
2. Same issue for these bits towards the end of the JSON: V:1,WXLMB
,0,,,0,,,0", "id": "1", "name": "OurWeather", "hardware": "esp8266",
"connected": true which I'm happy to ignore as of now.
Here's the output of me trying to troubleshoot it:
$ PYTHONPATH=/home/weewx/bin python2 /home/weewx/bin/user/ourweather.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

How do I ignore sections of the JSON?
This is what my current ourweather.py looks like, any pointers are
appreciated -

P.S. I don't know Python, just some Bash.

just write a weewx driver that makes a periodic request for the
'FullDataString' URL. parse the response and emit it as LOOP data. that's
it!
the code will look something like this (error handling is left as an
exercise to the reader :)
put this code into the file ourweather.py in the 'user' directory of your
weewx installation:
#!/usr/bin/python
import urllib2
import json
import time
import weewx.drivers
DRIVER_NAME = 'OurWeather'
DRIVER_VERSION = "0.1"
def loader(config_dict, engine):
return OurWeatherDriver(**config_dict[DRIVER_NAME])
class OurWeatherDriver(weewx.drivers.AbstractDevice):
def __init__(self, **stn_dict):
# where to find the data
self.path = stn_dict.get('host', '192.168.0.10')
# how often to poll the weather data file, seconds
self.poll_interval = float(stn_dict.get('poll_interval', 10))
def genLoopPackets(self):
"""request the 'full data string' then parse it. a 'full data

while True:
url = "http://%s/FullDataString' % self.host
req = urllib2.Request(url=url)
resp = urllib2.urlopen(req).read()
resp_json = json.loads(resp)
parts = resp_json['FullDataString']
_packet = {
'dateTime': int(time.time() + 0.5),
'usUnits': weewx.US,
'outTemp': parts[0],
'outHumidity': parts[1],
# FIXME: fill in the rest of the data here
}
yield _packet
time.sleep(self.poll_interval)
@property
def hardware_name(self):
return "OurWeather"
# To test this driver, run it directly as follows:
# PYTHONPATH=/home/weewx/bin python /home/weewx/bin/user/ourweather.py
if __name__ == "__main__":
import weeutil.weeutil
driver = OurWeatherDriver()
for packet in driver.genLoopPackets():
print weeutil.weeutil.timestamp_to_string(packet['dateTime']),
packet
then add a stanza to your weewx.conf file:
[OurWeather]
# ip address or hostname of the weather station
host = 192.168.5.3
driver = user.ourweather
and tell weewx to use that driver by modifying the 'station_type' field in
the 'Station' stanza:
[Station]
...
station_type = OurWeather
you should run weewx directly until you fix the bugs. that way you will
see data immediately. after you get to that point you can run weewx as a
service/daemon.
for more details, see the customization guide, or any one of the many, many
extensions to weewx that are listed in the wiki.

I have attached the info on how the REST works. It depends on how often you want to pull the data. It updates underground weather every 5 mins. But if you do it locally it depends on how often you want to pull the data. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.

[weewx-user] Re: OurWeather by SwitchDoc
A driver could be written to support this, it will just take someone to invest some time to write it. It's not difficult but without knowing the hardware or the REST data schema there can be challenges. weewx operates on a LOOP idea where the weather data is available at specific intervals. Typically it's pushed to weewx, but there can be a pull method as well (using REST). Do you know what interval the data is available at? On Thursday, August 8, 2019 at 10:14:09 AM UTC-4, Chester L.
