A few more thoughts. There are two publicly available ways of generating gauge-data.txt that I know of; the SteelSeries Gauges extension which produces a gauge-data.txt on each report cycle and my realtime gauge data (RTGD) extension that produces a loop based gauge-data.txt. I cannot recall, but it is possible that the RTGD extension handles obs with None values differently to the SteelSeries Gauges extension. I do remember you mentioning making changes to have weeWX emit None for windchill and heatindex rather than track outTemp when the pre-conditions are not met. Is it possible you made this change after installing RTGD? That could explain why your gauges did not show this behaviour just before your re-install. To delve any deeper I will need to look into the code, I am travelling at the moment but will have a look later this week when I am home. At the end of the day both extensions should handle None values in such a manner that it does not adversely impact the gauge displays.
The lack of windrose data is expected; the SteelSeries Gauges extension has never populated the windrose field nor does it provide the forecast text in the scroller. You need RTGD for both of these features. Gary -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
