Weewx update checks weewx.conf, but no other weewx*.conf files.

[Lucas Heijst]

Tom,

On several of my systems more than one weewx instance is run, so I have created a weewx.conf for each instance like:

weewx_vpro.conf (vantage driver)

weewx_mstk.conf (meteostick driver)

weewx_klim.conf (klimalogg driver)

weewx_rtld.conf (rtldavis driver)

weewx_tfrc.conf (tfrec driver)

weewx_mben.conf (modbus energy driver)

weewx_cmon.conf (computer monitor driver)

With an update of weewx only the file 'weewx.conf' is checked and changed.

Would it be difficult to check and change all weewx*.conf files in the /home/weewx directory as well?

Now I have to rename them one by one to weewx.conf, do the upgrade and rename them back afterwards.

It's possible to do it using the tool wee_config. For example (NOT TESTED):

cd /home/weewx

python3 ./bin/wee_config --upgrade --config=weewx_vpro.conf --dist-config=weewx.conf.4.0.0b18 --output=weewx_vpro_conf.new

# (Check over weewx_vpro_conf.new, then)

mv weewx_vpro.conf weewx_vpro.conf.backup

mv weewx_vpro.conf.new weewx_vpro.conf

-tk

Thanks Tom,

It worked like a charm!

A small typo in your second line:

--output=weewx_vpro_conf.new

must be

--output=weewx_vpro.conf.new

I have modified all my dedicated *.conf files and found a few lines in the [[Calculations]] section which should not be there.
