WeatherFlowUDP driver for Tempest Weatherstations

[Ton Karsten]

I use the WeatherFlow Tempest for my weather station.
I have equipped my weather station with the latest version of weewx.
Is the WeatherFlowUDP driver suitable for weewx 5.x and has this been tested?
I'm not sure if the installation will go without errors.

[Tom Hogland]

I'm currently using WeatherflowUDP with weewx 5.0.2 and it's working fine.

[Ton Karsten]

Thanks for sharing.
Which version are you using?
This: https://github.com/captain-coredump/weatherflow-udp
Or this one: https://github.com/rongrimes/weewx-tempest-pi

The weatherflow-udp driver works just fine on v5.

[Ton Karsten]

Okay thanks.

When I restart weexw with the WeatherFlowUDP driver in use, I get the following error messages once:

Are these reports serious?

Potentially. The station registry is being passed some bad information. It's possible that information is needed elsewhere in the program.

Set debug=1, then restart weewxd. Post the log from startup through the first reporting cycle.

Also, please note which version of the driver you ended up using.

Tom - I can duplicate this here with 5.0.2 running vs. my wfudpsimulator tool since I don't have actual hardware any more

If registering is enabled, you get that error when the archive period rolls around.

I added some debugging to restx that might help. 

        # Delay the registration by a random amount so all stations don't hit the server
        # at the same time.
        _registry_dict.setdefault('delay_post', random.randint(0, 45))

        log.info("StationRegistry _registry_dict: %s", _registry_dict)

Which outputs....

2024-02-17T10:36:57.489015-08:00 raspberrypi weewxd[1902]: INFO weewx.restx: StationRegistry _registry_dict: {'log_success': True, 'log_failure': True, 'station_url': 'https://www.example.com/no-station-here', 'station_type': 'WeatherFlowUDP', 'description': 'WeatherflowUDP Simulator test station', 'latitude': 47.31, 'longitude': -122.36, 'station_model': <bound method WeatherFlowUDPDriver.hardware_name of <user.weatherflowudp.WeatherFlowUDPDriver object at 0xf6ff9670>>, 'config_path': '/home/pi/weewx-data/weewx.conf', 'entry_path': '/home/pi/weewx-venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/weewxd.py', 'delay_post': 39}

 Notice the station_model value.  Looks a little odd....

The driver sets the following....

# Default settings...
DRIVER_VERSION = "1.10"
HARDWARE_NAME = "WeatherFlow"
DRIVER_NAME = 'WeatherFlowUDP'

Notice the single quotes around DRIVER_NAME there ?

Perhaps some obscure single vs. double quote thing going on ?

[bell...@gmail.com]

Theory:

Drivers are suppose to implement hardware_name as a property. The driver is missing the @property for hardware_name. When WeeWX accesses it as property, for example, instance.hardware_name it returns the function definition.

Try adding the @property decorator to hardware_name in the driver. (I did some minor testing by removing it in my driver)

If this is it, I am stumped why it ever worked….

[vince]

There are 75 currently registered sites using this driver but 'all' are showing as running 4.x so I'm guessing something changed in v5 weewx......

[Tom Keffer]

The difference is that to upload to the station registry, V5 uses an HTTP POST with a serialized JSON payload, while V4 uses an HTTP GET.  The GET sent an "unbound method" to the registry as a query parameter. We get a lot of those, so I included a bit of code to salvage the hardware type from the "unbound method" parameter. Hence, no one noticed.

Meaning what for users or devs ?

[bell...@gmail.com]

Ah, I see that now. Thanks.

[bell...@gmail.com]

I’d try adding the missing @property decorator. All signs point to that being the problem. It can’t hurt and it fixes a bug.

[vince]

I tried to do so but am still getting BAD REQUEST trying to register a test pi.  Of course now it'll wait a day til trying again.  Sigh.

I opened https://github.com/weewx/weewx/issues/936 on this one rather than get multiple conversations all cross-intermingled here.

[bell...@gmail.com]

Quick look of the code and it looks like  ‘example.com’ is rejected. Seems the error logging could be improved. I’ll poke around and see if I can create a decent pull request. But, I may have to defer to the experts.

[vince]

I can confirm that adding @property in the driver and restarting weewx 'does' work as a workaround, assuming you didn't use example.com as your host (sigh - another undocumented thing).

    # add the next line here around line 289 in the driver or so...

    @property
    def hardware_name(self):
        return HARDWARE_NAME

So there's at least one WeatherFlowUDP v5 system registered now.  Cool.

Thanks Rich !

[bell...@gmail.com]

Good to here. Work around or bug fix, I guess that is in the eye of the beholder….

While the docs may need some ‘sprucing up’, if one performs static code analysis; the error is pretty obvious. Here is the lint error I got when I removed it

‘bin/user/MQTTSubscribe.py:2155:4: W0236: Method 'hardware_name' was expected to be 'property', found it instead as 'method' (invalid-overridden-method)‘

rich

[vince]

Not at all obvious to my eyes, nor do I know how to lint to find that stuff, but you're better at this than I am :-)

FWIW - I have a fork of this driver that I added this workaround to...

• wget https://github.com/vinceskahan/weatherflow-udp/archive/install_example_sensor_map.zip -O /var/tmp/weatherflow-udp-1.10.2.zip
  
• weectl extension install /var/tmp/weatherflow-udp-1.10.2.zip

Changes from the upstream 1.10 version that's been stable for years...

• added this @property line so v5 registration works vs. this driver
• I also add a full Tempest sensor map on a clean installation so you don't need to do any cut+paste (other than editing your sensor ID in)
• added v5 installation note re: weectl
• and bumped the version string and changelog of course

I'll ask the upstream author again to merge my PR these changes are on but last I checked he was kinda busy with having a life too. 

Hope this helps.

[vince]

Update - the upstream author was nice enough to merge my PR for this problem, so you can simply upgrade your driver to the latest version and your station registration should work again with weewx v5.

weectl extension install https://github.com/captain-coredump/weatherflow-udp/archive/master.zip

sudo systemctl restart weewx

After upgrading your driver you should see the following output from 'weectl extension list':

Extension Name    Version   Description
weatherflowudp    1.10.2    Capture data from WeatherFlow Bridge via UDP broadcast packets

Thanks again Rich for the nudge(s) !!!

[bell...@gmail.com]

Thanks for pushing it over the goal line. Always the hardest part.

[Ton Karsten]

Thank you for resolving the error message.

It looks like the author of the driver is trying to insert a string into a byte array. You should file an issue on the repository's issue list.

Thanks Tom, this is the new updated driver that Vince got pushed on this thread. maybe it was a one off 

[vince]

Jamie - I didn't change anything related to how the driver actually works.  I just added one line to hopefully get it to register vs. v5 weewx.  The map shows a few v5 sites using that driver now, so that part seems to be working.

[Jamie Stephens]

i went ahead and opened up a issue with the driver, had another crash today

[vince]

Source is at https://github.com/captain-coredump/weatherflow-udp/blob/master/bin/user/weatherflowudp.py if some driver experts wanted to suggest fixes. This one is beyond me other than to suggest that since weewx v5 does not support python2 anymore that perhaps the try/except block needs something tweaked to deal with what I'm guessing (like totally guessing) is garbage-in a little more gracefully (anybody ?????)

            if timeouterr == 0:
                try:
                    m0 = str(m[0],'utf-8').replace(",null",",None")    # Python 3
                except:

                    m0 = m[0].replace(",null",",None")                 # Python 2

                m1=''
                try:
                    m1=eval(m0)
                except SyntaxError:

                    yield m3

[Jamie Stephens]

I'm not code savvy but I seem to recall I personally was running this fork from tkeffer that he ported to python 3 

https://github.com/tkeffer/weatherflow-udp/tree/master

I might roll back tot hat and see if the issue go away, I don't think it was ever committed to the main

[Jamie Stephens]

FYI no issues  with Tom’s driver.  Just not registered
