CWOP Updating Sporadically and no Baro

[ch...@chrismaness.com]

Ok, I got it sort of working. It is updating hit/miss (and it used to
do that before). According to my findu page, I am not seeing barometric
pressure data either.

I have pasted dubug level 1 syslog data in the link below:

Does anything look suspect?

Thanks,

My apologies, I should not post when out, but debug must be set to 2 (or higher) for the content of the RESTful posts (incl CWOP) to be logged. If it working/failing sporadically run WeeWX with debug=2 and if you check the logs when it fails you may be able to work out what is/is not going on. If the issue is missing barometer in the CWOP post then I would be looking at what the interceptor picked up in the respective archive period and did it provide barometer or all of the pre-reqs for WeeWX to calculate barometer.

So if I undwerstand the CWOP post contents correctly this would indicate that the 1640 post was missing barometer data:

Apr 25 16:40:24 raspberrypi weewx[4325]: restx: CWOP: packet: KQ6UP>APRS,TCPIP*:@252340z3401.26N/11718.84W_328/007g015t097r000p000P000b.....h20L487.weewx-3.9.2-Interceptor#015

but then this

Apr 25 16:40:25 raspberrypi weewx[4325]: restx: CWOP: Connected to server cwop.aprs.net:14580
Apr 25 16:40:45 raspberrypi weewx[4325]: restx: CWOP: Exception <class 'socket.timeout'> (timed out) when looking for response to packet packet
Apr 25 16:40:45 raspberrypi weewx[4325]: restx: CWOP: Published record 2020-04-25 16:40:00 PDT (1587858000)

indicates the CWOP data was posted but there was a timeout waiting for a response from CWOP. I am not CWOP knowledgeable enough to know whether the lack of a response is normal or abnormal behaviour, I'm guessing normal. The puzzling part is the lack of barometer data in the CWOP post, there appears to be at least one loop packet containing valid barometer data that was received during the 1635-1640 archive period. So the 1640 archive record should contain barometer data. More thought needed.

Now I remember there was connectivity time out issues on my old setup.
So it appears to be working as good as the old setup, but I would like
to resolve this outstanding issues. Who could I contact with a lot of
CWOP expertise?

Thanks,

There's two things going on here, lack of a response from CWOP and the missing barometer data. The lack of a CWOP response may be normal CWOP behaviour, hard to say given there was only one CWOP post in that extract posted (the lack of a response only shows if debug >= 2 and CWOP posts only occur every 10 minutes). Given some of your CWOP posts are being accepted either that was a one off or normal behaviour. That is what someone more knowledgeable on CWOP would (may) know. Tom may know. The real issue is the missing barometer data in your CWOP post, that is purely a WeeWX issue and no CWOP knowledge needed.

If you help me with the barometer issue, I would be grateful. The
barometer seems to be updating everywhere else just fine.

Yep, as I said 'More thought needed'.

Gjr80,

Do you have a humidity sensor?  I had a similair issue with the Barometer and learned that CWOP needs the humidity data as well to display the true barometer reading.  Humidity, temp and height all impact the barometer.  I believe that CWOP considers it altimeter.

 Yes, and it seems to have resolved itself.
