Hello Gary. First of all, thank you for exploring the cvs file. Sounds good that you can import and save them. Now I have to know something else. you talk about adapting the wee_import? How does that work? I also wanted to ask because I didn't quite understand it with rain. Weewx needs the cumulative amount of rain. Wouldn't it be easier if I simply deleted all other rain data from the table? And the last question. You wrote that (--dry-run) can be used to test whether everything is ok. How should I do that? Sorry for the many questions. But is not quite clear ;-)
Many thanks and best regards Am Sonntag, 12. April 2020 01:12:08 UTC+2 schrieb gjr80: > > Hallo Günther, > > A few observations on your data: > > 1.
