Thanks John,
I know little of the AcuRite stations but your log extract indicates a few
things:
1. outTemp is frequently None in the raw packets being seen by the WU
uploader. outTemp appears with a numeric value in the raw packets at
15:06:17, 15:06:53 and 15:07:29 (the end of the log extract). Reading the
comments up front of the AcuRite driver this appears to be correct
operation; outTemp should be included in a loop packet every 36 seconds.
The WU uploader subsequently uploads the numeric outTemp and all is good.
The second extract you provide, which is actually from before the weeWX
stop/start at 15:06:13, includes outTemp in numerous raw packets but in
every case it is None. The cache appears to do it job and it provides a
cached outTemp up until 14:53:56 after which the last cached outTemp value
is too old and outTemp is dropped from the cache. The WU uploader now omits
outTemp (tempf).
2. The AcuRite stations provide what is called station pressure or gauge
pressure which is stored in the weeWX pressure field. WeeWX calculates
barometer from this pressure and outTemp (it also uses station altitude).
If outTemp is None then barometer is not calculated and is None. There WU
uploader ignores None values and therefore does not upload barometer.
3. The AcuRite does not provide dewpoint so again weeWX calculates it. To
calculate dewpoint you need outTemp and outHumidity, if either is missing
dewpoint is None. So again the missing outTemp means dewpoint is None and
the WU uploader does not upload dewpoint.
So it seems that the barometer, dewpoint and outTemp problems are all
becuase outTemp is frequently being set to None in the loop packets.
I think it is worthwhile seeing what the driver is doing (the previous log
extract showed us what the WU uploader was doing). If you are up for
another log extract, in weewx.conf you could set debug = 0 again (if you
have not already done so) and under [AcuRite] add a line debug_raw = 1 like
so:
[AcuRite]
debug_raw = 1
....
Stop and start weeWX again. Let weeWX run for 15 minutes or so and then
take a log extract from when you just started weeWX through until the 15 or
so minutes is up. Post the entire log extract. This will give us a picture
of the raw data straight off the station. Once you have the log extract you
can remove debug_raw = 1 or set it to 0 then stop/start weeWX to cut down
on the driver logging.
Oh, and just by the by, what model AcuRite do you have?
