From the utilities / weewx_import / importing from Weather Underground / Step-by-step:

To perform a dry run enter the following command:

wee_import --import-config=/var/tmp/wu.conf --date="2016/01/20 22:30-2016/01/23 06:00" --dry-run
Note
  • mis-use of the 'date' parameter shows a range rather then one date. this should be to and from
  • dates should use '-' NOT '/'
At least that's what my link shows: http://www.weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#Step-by-step_instructions46
This is what got me to post the issue. Following the help page rather than the --help

Den,

Yes, dates are separated by - not /, I should not have rushed my reply as I was going out the door.

I had a quick check just now of the on-line Utilities Guide and the wee_import --help output and I did not notice any inconsistency. If there is please let us know what it is and we will fix it.

Gary,

I was following the on-line Utilities guide. It looks like both of us needed to read the help file!!

Dates are separated with a '-' not a '/'. Times are not needed so I will leave them out.

This worked:

 { wee_import --import-config=/var/tmp/wu.conf --from=2016-01-20 --to=2016-01-23 --dry-run }

Guess the online user's documentation needs a bit of updating.
Thanks for your quick reply... think I am ready to do some importing.

Hi,

Have a close read of the wee_import help using

wee_import --help

or the wee_import section of the Utilities Guide. You will see that the format of the --date option is

--date=YYYY-mm-dd

--date is used for importing a single (entire) day. You appear to be wanting to import a time span so you need to use --from and --to and not --date. Again have a look at the the --help output or the wee_import section of the Utilities Guide. Based on the dates and times you posted perhaps you are after something like:

wee_import --import-config=/var/tmp/wu.conf --from=2016/01/20T22:30 --to=2016/01/23T06:00 --dry-run

Trying to import WU data following the Utilities example and get the following:

wee_import --import-config=/var/tmp/wu.conf --date="2016/01/20 22:30-2016/01/23 06:00" --dry-run
Starting wee_import...
**** Command line option error.
**** Invalid --date option specified.
**** Nothing done, exiting.

I have confirmed there is 'History' data on the WU site for these test pages.

Help!
Thanks
