Lang developed instructions for a procedure to use; along with "WS View" app' and "ecowitt-client" of the "Interceptor" driver, for "weewx" to receive data from the "TP2000WC."
######################################################### Tycon Systems, TP3000WC and installing “weewx” ab9nq.william @gmail.com and developed by Rainer, Lang EasyWeather firmware needs to be version 1.5.6 for this procedure to work. Firmware version can be found in the “WS View,.” “Customized” screen. TP3000WC, anemometer (wind speed cups) need to be on top of the sensor array. 1. Downloaded and installed Linux Mint: Linux Mint Download <https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php> 2. Installed “weewx” using: Debian install instructions <https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php> This will insure paths are correct. 3. Downloaded and installed “weewx” driver: Interceptor driver <https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-interceptor> Follow driver install instructions; stop after doing: *sudo wee_config --reconfigure --driver=user.interceptor –no-prompt* 4. Configured “Interceptor” driver in “weewx.conf:” *sudo nano /etc/weewx/weewx.conf* Near the top of “weew.conf;” change “debug = 0” to “debug = 1” Next; in section “[Interceptor]” modify the following to match: ############################################################### *[Interceptor]* # This section is for the network traffic interceptor driver. # The driver to use: *driver = user.interceptor* # Specify the hardware device to capture. Options include: # acurite-bridge - acurite internet bridge, smarthub, or access # observer - fine offset WH2600/HP1000/HP1003, ambient WS2902 # lw30x - oregon scientific LW301/LW302 # lacrosse-bridge - lacrosse GW1000U/C84612 internet bridge # ecowitt-client - any hardware that uses the ecowitt protocol # wu-client - any hardware that uses the weather underground protocol *device_type = ecowitt-client* *port = 8000* *iface = **eth0* ############################################################### Note: iface may be different: *sudo ifconfig*; look for your computer ip, on left will be the iface. 5. Installed Android app and install: WS View app for Android Smartphone <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ost.wsview&hl=en> 6. Installed device; select icon that looks like your TP3000WC, display. Followed on screen instructions. Consult TP3000WC manual, page 33: “Connecting the Weather Station Console to Wi-Fi” for additional information if needed. 7. When device appears in the device list of the “WS View” app tap on device, tapped “Next” in the upper right corner four times. This will be the “Customized” screen. 8. Modified “Customized” screen; as shown in this image, except for the ip address --should be the ip address of computer where “weewx” is running. Find the ip address by entering : *sudo ifconfig* in terminal; on the computer where “weewx” is running. [image: WS View --settings.JPG] Later I changed Upload interval to 30 seconds. 9. Make sure “weewx” service is stopped: *sudo /etc/init.d/weewx stop* 10. Start “weewx:” *sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start /etc/weewx/weewx.conf* 11. Back in terminal; type: *sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep weewx* iyou should see data coming into “weewx.” -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
