what is this weather station? is it something like a meteostick? does it try to match exactly the behaviors of a davis console? > Can anyone help with further debugging of the rain and why it doesn't seem > to record properly? > as you did before, run weewx directly so that you see loop and record output on the screen. pipe that output to file, like this: weewxd /etc/weewx/weewx.conf > /var/tmp/weewx-output.txt in another shell, watch the output: tail -f /var/tmp/weewx-output.txt now tip the rain bucket of the weather station. then tip it again. (use a throwaway database if you don't want to pollute your real data) to get even more details, modify the vantage.py driver so that it emits the serial output that it receives from the station. that will tell you how accurately the weather station is emulating a real davis station. the serial read happens around line 534 in vantage.py. print out those bytes, or dump them to disk for analysis, then see if you can get someone with a real davis console to provide similar output for comparison. if it turns out that the emulator is buggy and does not actually emit rainMonth, you could hack the vantage driver to use day rain instead. look around line 1447 of vantage.py m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
