It sounds like you're using an existing skin which is displaying something like
230 seconds less than yesterday and you want it to say 3 minutes 50 seconds less than yesterday Is that correct? If so, you may not have seen the release note *Breaking changes for skins that use delta times <https://www.weewx.com/docs/5.1/upgrade/#breaking-changes-for-skins-that-use-delta-times>.* This involves adding the suffix ".long_form" to get it to display time using minutes and seconds instead of just seconds. Or, are you asking about something else? -tk On Fri, Sep 20, 2024 at 8:27 AM vigilance wx <[email protected]> wrote: > hi sorry for not being clear > > i would like to log the daily change in the number of seconds for daylight > interval changes. > its is displayed on the weewx index page as "XYZ" seconds less/more > than yesterday > > not wanting to cause any issues within the weewx structure. i originally > made my own standalone script not using any of the weewx architecture, but > for some reason i am getting strange times > > therefore i would like to know how i can log the "XYZ" variable that is > displayed on the index page. i didnt want to start messing around blindly > within the weewx structure for fear of causing other problems > > > > > On Friday, September 20, 2024 at 3:28:40 PM UTC+1 Tom Keffer wrote: > >> I'm not really understanding your question.
