You've missed nothing, and I was surprised to be able to duplicate it here. Turns out there is nothing wrong with the code, but a change that was brought in with weewx 3.9 (02/05/2019) has finally caught up with wxobs and the way I specified the labels. The Defaults section was moved to [StdReport] so entries made there will apply to *all* skins and they have precedence over anything in skin.conf http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#How_options_work The fix is... The section within wxobs/skin.conf [Units] [[Groups]] that refers to the Group units (which wxobs uses to generate the labels) needs to be moved into the [[wxobs]] section within weewx.conf Using your case above, the entries in wxobs/skin.conf... group_rain = mm # Option are inch , cm or mm group_temperature = degree_C # Option are degree_F or degree_C group_speed = km_per_hour # Option are mile_per_hour are moved to weewx.conf so that it will appear something like (your path may be different)... [StdReport] [...] [[wxobs]] skin = wxobs HTML_ROOT = /var/www/html/weewx/wxobs [[[Units]]] [[[[Groups]]]] group_rain = mm # Option are inch , cm or mm group_temperature = degree_C # Option are degree_F or degree_C group_speed = km_per_hour # Option are mile_per_hour Because these changes will now be read from weewx.conf, you will need to restart weewx for them to take affect. n.b. The [[PHPUnits]] section remains in wxobs/skin.conf. It does not get moved. It is specific to wxobs.inc and weewx would probably spit out an error if it had to parse it. This all assumes that your database is in US units (thus why you are converting from F to C) and that your weewx.conf file has the section Std Reports with entries like... [StdReport] [[Defaults]] [[[Units]]] [[[[Groups]]]] Try it and let me know if this does indeed fix your problem. I'll then adjust the notes / installer in wxobs to suit. Thanks for catching it and for bringing it to my attention. -- Cheers Glenn rorpi - read only raspberry pi & various weewx addons https://github.com/glennmckechnie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
