Okay. Nailed it, the weird rainfalls and NaN barometer readings that is. Turns out there's another disbeliever in the "No wind, No direction" camp.
They'll only accept an ordinal direction in the $WL_WINDDIR field. The weewx default of - N/A (or tested variants such as na, -, ' ') are not allowed in that field and their parser appears to just garble the rest of the entries that then follow it, in their displayed sequence - barometer, rain. So if the wind drops to zero, N/A is sent and chaos reigns - until the wind picks up again. 05:11:00,02/03/17,19.9,18.2,18.2,30.3,1.9,1019.7,Steady,0.0,N/A,0.0,,07:09:41,20:02:44,0.0,0.0,C|ms|mbar|mm The solution is to add ignore_zero_wind = False <http://www.weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#StdWXCalculate> as per the weewx docs . OR Fudge the existing skin, or better yet, create a new minimal skin, adding the [[Ordinates]] to it; and then changing the directions stanza by switching the N/A to one of the cardinals. So wrong, but also so effective as that only affects that one report, not the database. [[Ordinates]] # The ordinal directions. The last one is for no wind direction, fudge it with the North cardinal 'N' #directions = N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW, N/A directions = N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW, N Cheers Glenn rorpi - read only raspberry pi + weewx: now with scripts <https://github.com/glennmckechnie/rorpi-raspberrypi> On 1 March 2017 at 18:39, Carlingford Weather < weather@carlingfordweather.sydney> wrote: > > Hi Glenn, > > The encoding won't have anything to do with the values you are seeing.
