Hi, It is possible to use the WeeWX 4.0 beta wee_import whilst not interfering with a working 3.9.x install. I posted the instructions back on 1 January but have updated them to cater for a change in branch in the repo (and fixed the spelling mistakes) and re-posted them below:
The following instructions will allow you to use the WeeWX v4 wee_import code under a WeeWX 3.x install (note this will have no affect on your WeeWX 3.x install): 1. install git if not already installed: $ sudo apt-get install git 2. create a directory in which the WeeWX repo will be cloned and change to that directory: $ mkdir /var/tmp/weewx4_src $ cd /var/tmp/weewx4_src 3. clone the WeeWX GitHub repo: $ git clone https://github.com/weewx/weewx 4. check wee_import works: $ sudo PYTHONPATH=/var/tmp/weewx4_src/weewx/bin /var/tmp/weewx4_src/weewx/ bin/wee_import --help $ sudo PYTHONPATH=/var/tmp/weewx4_src/weewx/bin /var/tmp/weewx4_src/weewx/ bin/wee_import --version the version should be 0.4 5. an example import might look like: $ sudo PYTHONPATH=/var/tmp/weewx4_src/weewx/bin /var/tmp/weewx4_src/weewx/ bin/wee_import --config=/home/weewx/weewx.conf --import-config=/var/tmp/wu.conf --date=2019-11-30 Adjust paths to suit (you could probably leave the --config option out and wee_import will find the correct weewx.conf but better safe than sorry) You should be able to use wee_import with a suitable import config file and options using your existing WeeWX 3.x install setup (ie databases) but with the WeeWX v4 wee_import code. Note that you will need to refer to the v4 wee_import documentation which you will find in /var/tmp/weewx4_scr/weewx/docs/utilities.htm and the example import config files will be in /var/tmp/weewx4_src/weewx/util/import. Importantly, the usual caveats apply when using wee_import, ie back your database, do a dry run first etc but you should find importing from WU works provided you are using a new style long API key. Finally, you can remove the WeeWX v4 code using: $ rm -R /var/tmp/weewx4_src Gary On Thursday, 12 March 2020 06:04:42 UTC+10, Keimpe Bleeker wrote: > > Hi Tom, After many years using W##%&Disp##, based on a PC-server, I'm > waiting for some months to get my wx-station up-and-running with Weewx 4.#, > based on RaspberryPi.
