hi maarten, the weewx uploaders are designed to send data as soon as there is something new to send, i.e., when there is a change to the data. they are not designed operate based on the clock. so there is no explicit way to do what you want with the weewx-twitter extension. one way to do what you want is to make a new skin with a template that spits out to file the data you want to tweet. then write a shell script that tweets that file. then make a crontab that invokes the script at the top of each hour. m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
