Hi guys, first post in the group and a rather new user to weewx as a whole.
Many moons ago, I used Cumulus connected to my old wx station and it had a
great feature that would update Twitter once per hour with the weather info
from the station. When I moved on to a new station back in 2014, I lost
that functionality. A couple weeks ago, I decided to get off my butt and
recreate it, which brought me to weewx. I figured if I could get that data
onto a linux box, then there would be nothing stopping me from creating a
post on Twitter with it.
The account in question is @PowellOHWeather. You can see that posts stopped
on Oct 3, 2014 and just picked back up yesterday, but it's missing one
piece of data, and that's the barometer trend. I haven't figured out how to
get the barometer trend into the post, so I've come to you for assistance.
Does anyone have any ideas?
The old posts looked like this:
Wind 11.4 mph S. Barometer 29.27 in, Falling slowly. Temperature 69.4 °F.
Rain today 0.15 in. Humidity 70%
I have the new posts looking like this so far:
Wind 0.2 mph SW. Barometer 29.88 in. Temperature 27.5 ºF. Rain today 0.00
in. Humidity 94.0%.
I want to get that barometer falling rapidly, falling slowly, rising
rapidly, rising slowly, or steady into the posts, but can't figure out how
to do it. I'm using the weewx-twitter extension that I found in this group,
and here's the config I'm using.
[StdRESTful]
[[Twitter]]
oauth_token_secret = xxxx
oauth_token = xxxx
app_key_secret = xxxx
app_key = xxxx
post_interval = 3600
format = "Wind {windSpeed:%.1f} mph {windDir:ORD}. Barometer
{barometer:%.2f} in. Temperature {outTemp:%.1f} ºF. Rain today {rain:%.2f}
in. Humidity {outHumidity:%.1f}%."
