The difference between METRIC and METRICWX is described in the Customizing Guide <http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#units>. Briefly, they are identical except for rain (group_rain and group_rainrate) and wind speed (group_speed and group_speed2).
It seems that I cannot emphasize enough, it should not matter what unit system is used in the database. If an observation type is properly implemented, it will get converted to the correct, final target unit in the reports. However, if you decide you want to convert from METRIC to METRICWX, you can use the utility wee_database with the --reconfigure <http://weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#Action_--reconfigure11> option. -tk On Mon, Jan 15, 2018 at 7:40 AM, Joe Percival <[email protected]> wrote: > The new service I added saves snow depth measurements to its own sqlite > database in archive format with measurements in mm.
