Thanks for the mental push on ‘the whole twitter section”. I’ve figured out the
day rain issue.
I was using METRIC rather than METRICWX so dayRain was reporting in cm rather
than mm. Since it was a small amount of rain… it was reporting 0.0cm. We’ve
subsequently had almost 20mm of rain today, which means there is enough to
notice the units mixup.
Here is the successful wview.conf including the formatting used for the tweet
below:
station = Hourly Auto-Tweet
unit_system = METRICWX
post_interval = 3600
format_None = *
format = "{station} {dateTime:%H:%M %b %d %Y}: T: {outTemp:%.1f}ºC D:
{dewpoint:%.1f}ºC W: {windDir:ORD} {windSpeed:%.1f}kph gusting to
{windGust:%.1f}kph H: {outHumidity:%.0f}% P: {barometer:%.2f}hPa Rain
{dayRain:%.2f}mm Rain Rate: {rainRate:%.1f}mm/hr Chill:{windchill:%.1f}ºC
HIndex:{heatindex:%.1f}ºC Solar: {radiation:%.0f}W/m2 UV: {UV:%.0f}

https://twitter.com/Auto_AlberniWx/status/946581641299771392
So that is good.
Unfortunately, I have not found a solution to the original request of inserting
a new line. But I am willing to let it go and chalk it up to a limitation of
twython. :)
Thank you all for your help and suggestions.
