Is there a way to cache station data values until they change?

[Kevin Key]

I'd like to do rapid-fire with my Acurite Atlas and a separate pressure sensor, but the sensors don't deliver all the data at the same time. Is it possible - via the config file - to keep all data in the loop until the data changes?

The WU Rapidfire code already has something like that in it. Set debug=3 to see it in action.

Cool. How do I make use of it?

[Tom Keffer]

Just set rapidfire=true.

Try it. You won't hurt anything.

Thanks. I've tried that, but then wind_gust, barometer, and a few other values go missing from Weather Underground.

Frankly, WU's rapidfire is very flaky, so that could well be the problem.

What do you see if you set debug=3?

What exact values are missing?

You can try setting archive_post=true as well. Might work.

You can try the weewx-loopdata extension which will give you real-time data from individual sensors.
