Hi Gary, I've started working on this service, and I have run into an issue.
A quick refresher so you don't have to read through the whole thread: I am writing an MQTT service to add data to the loop packets. You pointed me in the right direction with the NEW_LOOP_PACKET, and I'm 99% of the way there. My service is pulling data with the loop packets, processing and normalizing it, and I'm now to the point that I am ready to stuff it into the loop packet. Since I am modifying an existing service that I wrote, I am trying to use the line event.record[key] = value. that I found in the documentation. When I try this, I get the following trackback. I'm sure that this is because event.record is for archive packets, and I'm now working with loop packets. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/weewxd", line 64, in <module> weewx.engine.main(options, args) File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/engine.py", line 877, in main engine.run() File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/engine.py", line 191, in run self.dispatchEvent(weewx.Event(weewx.NEW_LOOP_PACKET, packet=packet)) File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/engine.py", line 224, in dispatchEvent callback(event) File "/usr/share/weewx/user/esp8266.py", line 105, in new_loop_packet event.record[self.subscriptions[topic]] = value AttributeError: 'Event' object has no attribute 'record' Any thoughts on what I can do to correct this? I have verified that the variable self.subscriptions[topic] provides the expected value of extraTemp1, and value contains 74.30. Also, related to this discussion, I would like to provide a simplified version of code, and an explanatory blurb to be added to the documentation to hopefully help others in a similar situation. Is that something that the development team would be open to? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
