Hi all.
I am new to the group and wanted to introduce myself and ask some questions. I'm from Galicia in Spain and am trying to install weewx using a Vantage Vue in a school. I am a user with good knowledge of Linux, but not programming. My issues and problems are:
1 - I'm trying to translate to Galician some templates. When I use the translated index.html.tmpl the reports and web pages are not generated correctly and an error in syslog appears about some 'ascii' can not encode or decode 0xXX character (I forget). I'm using utf8 option on skins.conf file.
2 - I can not interpret the contents of the dateTime column in the Sqlite database. How can I convert the contents of this column on a date and time?.
3 - I wish I could send data to meteoclimatic.com station, a Spanish weather web. They use a data template like this:
http://personal.telefonica.terra.es/web/majycman/freewxsummary10.html
http://jordicorbella.com/meteocam/meteo/meteoclimatic.htx
I may do this in some way from weewx?
Many thanks

1. This will be familiar to long-time users, but please set debug=1, run again, then send the relevant log snippet! Also, when you say you are using the utf8 option, do you mean that you replaced the line
encoding = html_entities
with a line
encoding = utf8
2. The dateTime column is what is called "unix epoch time". The template conversion code in weewx should do the conversion to local time for you. If you want to do something special, say time in a different time zone, that gets more involved. Can you give us more detail what you are trying to do?
3. The link to the format used by meteoclimatic is lacking some detail. Does one fill out a file with the desired information then send it to them? Or, is this an HTTP GET? If the former, then there it should be quite easy --- just create a Cheetah template, just like the other templates, with the framework they give and plug in the relevant numbers using "dot" codes. So, it would look something like:
*VER=DATA2 *COD= *SIG= *UPD=$current.dateTime # You may have to do a time conversion here! *TMP=$current.outTemp *WND=$current.windSpeed

1. Next week I will send you the syslog with debug=1, but looking for this problem on weewx group I found this possible solution from
Michal Leinweber:
3. I think that I can send the meteoclimatic template using ftp or I can put this template with data on any public web site accesible from meteoclimatic.com. I have seen this code and it seems to be interesting:
http://code.google.com/p/wfrog/source/browse/trunk/wfrender/renderer/meteoclimatic.py?r=838
I also thik the "Cheetah template" is the solution... but I need more information from meteoclimatic and about "Cheetah template"...
Many thanks in advance
1. Next week I will send you the syslog with debug=1, but looking for this problem on weewx group I found this possible solution from
I spent last 2 days searching for solution of this error when using
UTF-8 characters in templates:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte ....... : ordinal
not in range(128)
Finally I found answer in Cheetah documentation (http://
www.cheetahtemplate.org/docs/users_guide_html_multipage/moduleFormatting.encoding.html).
After adding line:
#encoding UTF-8
as the first line of template file, everything works ok.
Maybe it helps somebody.
PS: I'm still unsuccessfull with UTF-8 image titles (it is internally
converted by weewx directly to Latin-1 :().
2. I was thinking about extractind the necessary columns for the generation of a meteoclimatic template for sending ftp data to meteoclimatic.com with cron and a bash script. The last answer about question 3 is very interesting... Let's go with it...UTF-8 characters in templates:

Hello.
1. Thanks for the reminder that #encoding UTF-8 has to be at the top of Cheetah template files! The templates test for UTF8 characters and then sets the meta charset accordingly, but there doesn't seem to be possible to automatically include the #encoding directive. I'll have to investigate.
Unfortunately, the image files must be in Latin-1, because the Python Imaging Library does not support UTF8 characters. This is explained in the Customizing weewx manual (cf. section 3.2.3)
2. The templates are very flexible in how the time can be formatted. This is explained in the manual Customizing weewx manual under the section Type dateTime.
2. The templates are very flexible in how the time can be formatted. This is explained in the manual Customizing weewx manual under the section Type dateTime.
3. The meteoclimatic link is very cryptic about just what data is needed and what format it should be in. I think you'll find that the template "dot code" used by weewx is very flexible --- most likely you will not have to write any Python code. Just request the proper formatting. But, it's hard to say without more information about what meteoclimatic expects.

Hi again.
1 - I have solved the problem using html entities...
3 - About the meteoclimatic template. I understand that I need to create a similar file to the example mygenerator.py using the correct values... as explained on http://www.weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm
But I need some help with this values. Where I can find all the possible equivalent values for creating a custom generator for meteoclimatic template? More info about meteoclimatic template in spanish: http://www.meteoclimatic.com/index/wp/plantilla_es.html

This looks like a very straightforward file. I doubt that you will need to create a custom generator. Just create a template with the format as outlined, and put in dot codes for the required values.
Here's a sample of what it would like look (NOT TESTED):
Current Data
* TMP = $current.outTemp.degree_C
* WND = $current.windSpeed.km_per_hour
* TMP = $current.outTemp.degree_C
* WND = $current.windSpeed.km_per_hour
* AZI = $current.windDir
...
Daily data
* DHTM = $day.outTemp.max.degree_C
* DLTM = $day.outTemp.min.degree_C
* DHBR = $day.barometer.min
* DHTM = $day.outTemp.max.degree_C
* DLTM = $day.outTemp.min.degree_C
* DHBR = $day.barometer.min
...
and so on.

The template should be in the subdirectory skins/Standard, along with the other templates.
The configuration file skin.conf should look like

[[ToDate]]

Is this what you are doing?
Also, if this does not work, set debug=1 in the main configuration file weewx.conf, run, then send us the results from your system log.
I am about to embark on a sailing trip, so I will not be reachable until Monday. Perhaps others can help.

Many thanks. I have resolved most of my problems. Now I need to solve a small question.
I neen some data for template:
*DGST = Day max wind gust kmh
*MGST = Month max wind gust kmh
*YGST = Year max wind gust kmh
I can use
*DGST = day.wind.max.km_per_hour
but I can't use
*DGST = day.windGust.max.km_per_hour
When I see the log, the .max and .km_per_hour are not adminted for windGust????
How I can use windGust for max value on day, month and year?
Thanks again

Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by "max wind gust". Presumably, it's the maximum wind for the day (or month, or year), in which case it is given by the tags you are using below.
Statistically, max(wind) is the same as max(max(wind)).

What I mean is that I have some doubts about getting the correct value of the maximum wind gust. When I open the file weewx.db, I can see that the windSpeed column values are usually lower than windGust column. So when I need to put in the template the value of, for example, monthly maximum wind gust, the only option I find is $month.wind.max that seems more appropriate for the maximum monthly wind speed, but not for the monthly maximum wind gust.
Is this right or am I wrong in something?
A greeting and thank you very much again

I see your point.
The wind speeds are the average over the archive interval, the wind gust the maximum value seen during the interval. So, you are right. The max of one is not necessarily the max of the other.
For tags such as $day.wind.max, weewx reports the absolute maximum wind seen during the day --- that is the max wind gust. This data comes out of the statistical summary archive, stats.sdb. If for some reason you wanted the maximum value of the average wind speeds over the archive intervals, then you'd have to define your own statistic by writing a custom report generator. As this data would have to come out of the main archive, weewx.sdb, rather than the usual stats.sdb, this is a more involved project than what is outlined in the section Writing a custom generator, in the Customizing Weewx manual.
My apologies, but right now I am on a small boat a few hundred kilometers from my main development computer, so I can't give you much guidance on how to do this.
Frankly, for your purposes of reporting to meteoclimatic, I would just use the same value for both, that is the maximum wind speed seen during the day ($day.wind.max). Calculating the max of the average wind speeds over the archive interval is going to be sensitive to things like the length of the archive interval and, therefore, not of much use.
If you're really determined to nail this down, I would contact meteoclimatic and find out just what they see as the difference between max(wind) and max(windGust)!

Hello again from San Sadurniño in Galicia, Spain. The station is already in use in http://www.meteoclimatic.com/perfil/ESGAL1500000015560A.
Maybe it could be interesting in some way incorporate the meteoclimatic template into weewx if that were useful to someone else.
Thank you very much again for your help and good sea voyage.

$day.wind.max will give you the max wind since midnight.

Right, but we're not looking for max wind. We're looking for max windGust. These are separate values as reported by most station hardware.
thanks,

The value $day.wind.max is the maximum gust seen since midnight. Max is max.
There was a discussion about this a few months ago.

Okay, I read the discussion, and the arguments seem to go in the same circles, or I'm not reading it right. Maybe you can help with my example.
Say my station reported three records today:
Record1:
wind: 2
windGust: 11
Record2:
wind 5
windGust 9
Record3:
wind: 3
windGust 12
What will $day.wind.max report? Is it what I would expect $day.windGust.max (which doesn't exist)?
thank you,

Hello, Ed.
With your example, $day.wind.max would report 12: the wind gust seen in record 3.

Okay, that's what we want then, thanks!
I'll watch my data and see if it holds.

On the left, Since Midnight, you see Wind Gust($day.wind.max) is 6mph.
On the Right, the wind speed graph shows no sustained winds that high, so it's looking good. On the other hand, it shows the Max wind at the wrong time, at least according to the graph, but maybe that's just pixel antialiasing, and the topic for another thread :)
thanks again,
