Thanks Tom,
Now for the next issue, although I can't recall precisely what I did when.
Only after yesterdays post did I notice that the wind vector plots were
missing, so I thought I'd try to apply your patched code. I may have done
completely the wrong thing, but it was all I could think of instead of
waiting for the next beta release.
I downloaded the development code from github as at 2021-11-22 05:15:00Z
I updated all the newer bin/weewx python files and merged the skin changes.
Python files updated were:
- defaults.py,
- cheetahgenerator.py,
- units.py,
- manager.py,
- restx.py,
- reportengine.py
After the normal upgrade via .deb file to beta 7, I am sure the graphs were
displaying in my required units.
However, after the most recent changes the graphs are now in US units.
I see a setting has appeared in my weewx.conf, saying "*unit_system = us*".
I know I'm getting old, but I don't recall putting it in there - did it
happen automatically as part of the 4.6.0 upgrade?
Did I miss reading some documentation about changing the way units are
specified?
I had up to 4.5.1 used a section in my weewx.conf overriding the
Unit-Groups section. This is partly because the Australian standard system
reports wind in km/h and rain in mm (half metric, half metricwx) I put the
groups under:
[StdReport]
[[Defaults]]
[[[Units]]]
[[[[Groups]]]]
with my *Defaults *being the last section of *StdReports*. Is the order
important? My group definitions seem to get ignored, although commenting
out the *unit_system = xx* line seems to revert to the old pattern and it
falls back to using my Group definitions.
