Ok.. I have a quick service that I wrote and tested... What it does
is to insert into the loop packet a item called windGust! I have been able
to set windGust to a number (originally 10... but i have reset it to 0.0)
and that shows that by doing this I have a flow of data into hubitat.py!!
packet['windGust'] = 0.0
the entire service is listed below... I used one from the WWW as a model.
just to see if it would be easy i replaced 0.0 with windGust to see if I
was able to access the archive data from here.... that through a lot of
errors!!! basically it did not understand that value as it was undefined.
So if I can pull the data from the archive record that would solve my
problem!
The other solution would be to calculate windGust... but I do not know
how weewx is calculating it (want to keep everything consistent).
# File: user/custom_loop_service.py
import weewx
import weewx.engine
import weewx.units
import time
class CustomLoopService(weewx.engine.StdService):
def __init__(self, engine, config_dict):
super(CustomLoopService, self).__init__(engine, config_dict)
# Bind our method to the new_loop_packet event
self.bind(weewx.NEW_LOOP_PACKET, self.add_custom_data)
def add_custom_data(self, event):
"""Add custom fields to the LOOP packet."""
try:
packet = event.packet # This is the live LOOP packet dictionary
#Example: Add a 10 to windGustA - this is a test to see if this
loop works
packet['windGust'] = 0.0
# packet['windGustDir'] = 360.0
# Example: Add a timestamp in UNIX epoch format
# packet['custom_timestamp'] = int(time.time())
# Example: Add a calculated field (dewpoint from temp/humidity)
# if 'outTemp' in packet and 'outHumidity' in packet:
# temp_c = weewx.units.convert((packet['outTemp'],
'degree_C', 'group_temperature'))[0]
# rh = packet['outHumidity']
# dewpoint_c = temp_c - ((100 - rh) / 5.0)
# packet['custom_dewpoint'] = dewpoint_c
except Exception as e:
self.log_error(f"Error adding custom data: {e}")
def log_error(self, msg):
syslog = weewx.debug
syslog.error(msg)
