Davis Vantage Pro2 and WU - best settings

[Jacek Skowroński]

Hi,

I have Davis Vatange pro2 with external leaf_soil module located on ID=2.

So according to help I did such an command

wee_device --set-transmitter-type=2,8,1,1

So if I understood it correctly I would have temperature and humidity of soil on the external temp1 and external hum1.

How to get those data to WU?

Just now on my station we do not see temp and humidity of the soil.

https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=IWOJEWDZ56

Next topic is best timings for sending data, is it possible to get data in RealTime?

In general Davis has archival for 5min (300sec) so it sends data every 5minute.

I had tried rapid fire, but it sends data every 2.5 sec but data changes every 5minute so it's a little bit crazy.

Is there anybody using Davis Vantage pro2 and WU and could share your config?

Thanks in advance

BR

Jacek

The temperature would show up as soilTemp1, and the humidity as soilMoist1. You can check this by running weewx directly. Make sure that the values soilTemp1 and soilMoist1 look reasonable for both the LOOP and REC values.

Just now on my station we do not see temp and humidity of the soil.

https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=IWOJEWDZ56

If you have values for soilTemp1 and soilMoist1, weewx should be sending them to the WU. But, let's first make sure you have values.

​Both soilTemp1 and soilMoist1 are included in Davis LOOP packets, so they should be realtime. However, I don't know that the WU will display realtime soil temperature and moisture.

[Jacek Skowroński]

For some reason I get the following values:

soilTemp1: None, soilTemp2: 43.0, soilTemp3: None, soilTemp4: None,

so I have only soilTemp2.

Is it possible to chnge it by software to the soiilTemp1 or should I go to the garden and change slot for temperature probe?

Thanks Tom for clarification.

[Jacek Skowroński]

I had changed the probe slot for 1, and now I have

soilTemp1: 46.0,

but on the WU page something is strange. I get C close to the soil temp, but there is no value.

Tom expressed doubts as to whether WU displayed soil temps on rapid fire - and you appear to be using rapid fire.  Have you tried uploading normal archive records instead of rapid firing??

Did you run with debug set, as Tom suggested, and confirm that the REC and LOOP contain the soil temperature??

[Thomas Keffer]

It would not surprise me that the WU is not archiving soil temperature and moisture. They are not very common and I doubt they would want to dedicate columns in their database schema to them.

I have an extra temperature sensor ('extraTemp1'), which the WU reports as "soil moisture." I don't know why. It also does not show up in the archive.

I'm transferring both modes,

I had stopped weewx and run weewd so from its output I know taht there is soiltemp1 and has value 46. other has none.

I did for fe minutes and output was similiar.

Is it debug? Or it's something different?

[Jacek Skowroński]

so how there are davis stations with those data visible? Maybe they are using some different meteo soft like weatherdisplay or cumulus?

Or maybe they are using some tricks in the setup on the davis and weewx.

Any hints for me?

Jacek

so any hint what is wrong that WU does not get soil temp?

[Thomas Keffer]

Hello, Jacek,

You said you have soil temperature and humidity sensors, but it appears that you actually have soil and leaf temperature sensors. That is, you have values for soilTemp1 and leafTemp1, but nothing for soilMoist1.

Or, perhaps the sensors are plugged into the wrong probe slot? You should check.

The WeatherUnderground PWS protocol does not recognize leaf temperature, so that would explainwhy you are not seeing anything.

have you checked the soil temperature probe is in the correct slot?  It appears to be being read as a leaf temperature probe and not a soil temperature probe.

[Jacek Skowroński]

I have soil_leaf module (ID=2), temp proble is the only one attached to the module and it is in slot 1.

The console is configured to get data from ID=2 and module is set to the leaf_soil.

That is all on the physical side.

When I press temp button on the console I see temp with no1.

Goig back to the issue, I'd like to have this value in the net so would be best to have it in the WU.
Thanks for help

regards
Jacek

Have you tried configuring it as soil only and not leaf-soil since you say you do not have any leaf sensors?

http://www.davisnet.com/product_documents/weather/manuals/VP2_Manual_Leaf_Soil_Temp_RevA.pdf

[Jacek Skowroński]

not yet.

Could I do this remotly via ssh to the raspberry pi? Or do I have to manually click on the console?

The problem is I'm away from the place the Davis is located, I would be there next Saturday.

[Andrew Milner]

I do not know - I do not possess a Davis station - I just read the Davis manual and see there are three modes for the soil-leaf console.  You should read the whole Davis manual and make sure you are using it correctly and have it connected to the probe correctly!!

[Jacek Skowroński]

Eh

Davis console shows temp correctly

The manual was read few times

I see here is nobody with practice with davis and weewx

[Jacek Skowroński]

I had changed the module type to 7,

I did it by wee-_device and put the sensor type 2,7,1,1.

Restarted weewx, but on the WU side nothing changed - there were 5 times packets already sent to the WU

Hi,

I would say there are a lot of people with experience in using a Vantage with weewx, this link http://weewx.com/stations.html would tend to indicate at least 271 :>) I think you will find though that there are not many with your particular configuration. Time zones differences do not help either.

so in my opinion we have soilTemp1 - with correct value 47.0,

so how to get it visible on WU?

[Andrew Milner]

can you give some links to wu stations which are working correctly please?

does running with debug=1 give the detail of what is actually being uploaded to WU?

can you confirm - via either sql commands or via phpmyadmin that the soilTemp1 which we see in the REC is actually being stored in the weewx database.

[Jacek Skowroński]

1. I will take a look for some Davis stations and weewx, because I had already seen some station of davis and WU working fine.

2. debug=1 will not show what is exactly send or I can not get those kind of data.
I put debug=1 and restarted weewx and looking what is in the log file.

Should I do something different?

3. I have sqlite so I have weewx.sdb file - how can I check if it's ok?

If it would be ok, I can provide You with ssh access so maybe it would be easier to answer some of questions to me?

Regards

Jacek

all you need to do is use sqlite3 to give the command

select dateTime, soilTemp1 from archive where soilTemp1 > 0;

and see what results you gert

[Jacek Skowroński]

seems that I have a lot of data.

Right - now we are getting somewhere ....

You appear tohave got soilTemp1 in the database with the sensible looking values ..... so I guess it is now up to Tom to provide a way of checking what is actually being uploaded to WU if debug does not give the output from restx, and then - once you know that WU are receiving the data I guess it is up to WU as to why they are not displaying it!!!!!

Sorry - but I cannot help any more - you need Tom or Gary for the next part of the puzzle!!

Good luck

did you stop weewx, set debug = 1 and restart weewx for that log - or what exacly was the log supposed to show?

[Jacek Skowroński]

yes I did stop, edited config start of weewx.

this is normal log from weewx - output from  tail -f /var/log/syslog
So I thought it would show us what is directly sent to the WU by restx.

what is crazy now - the wu started to show UV parameter with value 2, eventhought I do not have UV sensor yet.

[Andrew Milner]

You actually had a UV value the very first time I looked at your WU site - then it disappeared.

Just go at this slowly - so far we know that the data is correctly in the database - so you should also be able to put the soil temperature onto any web pages that you generate with weewx reports - then you just need to work with Tom and make sure restx is outputting the correct format for WU.

[Jacek Skowroński]

ok, I will work to get webpage with reports

Ignore the UV value on WU - I see my station is also showing a UV value and I also have no UV sensor!!!!  Makes you wonder just where WU get their data from!!!!!!!  I do not know when it started showing UV because I do not actually look at the WU site very often!!

ok

Jacek,

Well, that's interesting. The record you posted originally had values for soilTemp1 and leafTemp1.

The record you posted later does not:

What changed?

Second, the WU servers are very unreliable. They ignore records, substitute null values for valid values, substitute invalid values for null values, or ignore values altogether. I'm not going to attempt to debug them remotely. 

In any case, I see a value for soil temperature (51°F) on your WU site right now. So, clearly, the WU is getting values. It's just choosing not to display them consistently.

Hahaha,

sorry this is only thing I can say.
After Your email I went to the wu.

I use C scale and there is nothing, I had swtched to F scale and there are data shown :P

What changed? I had put command to change module type from 8 to 7, so I changed leaf_soil to soil only

The sooner the USA goes metric and joins the rest of the world - the better :):):)

Oh well - one lives and learns!!!

Sorted (as long as you prefer degrees F to degrees C)

"I don't believe it" - on second thoughts, as it is WU - I will believe anything!!

[gjr80]

> I use C scale and there is nothing, I had swtched to F scale and there are data shown :P

How bizarre, same when I look at Jacek's site, I see just (degree symbol)C, I switch to F and there it is 51F. I knew WU did some odd things but that has to take the cake. Or maybe just you folks in the US are concerned with soil temps :)

[Andrew Milner]

Gary - I think WU has taken the whole gateau with this one, and wasted a hell of a lot of Jacek's and my time to boot - and we didn't even get a sliver of the cake!!!!
