Run the command: locale

See if LC_MEASUREMENT is in your units

If it is like this: LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" the the measurement units will be in US (miles)

To regenerate all your locale settings run: locale-gen

My simple fix for this was to make sure that in weewx.conf (or skin.conf if you prefer) you have under the stanza

[[belchertown]]
[[[units]]]
[[[[groups]]]]

An entry that says 

group_distance = km

Yes I did that to but it made no difference.

You can change the locale = (in the belchertown skin.conf) to "en_AU.UTF-8" and that works  but if you leave it as auto and do the regen then it works as expected.

I just looked at your site and the distance is in miles as I would expect for the US. What part do you think is buggy?

I am following these threads with interest as my Belchertown "Earthquake" is working but not as I desire it to work. The skin installed without a hitch and is running but the Eathquake  distance is in km instead of miles and I also tried to change the earthquake_maxradiuskm setting from 1000 to 2000 and the changes aren't being reflected in the output.

I've tried making changes to belchertown.py (https://github.com/poblabs/weewx-belchertown/issues/422) and changing the skin.conf by setting the belchertown_locale from auto to en_US.UTF-8 and doing the locale-gen command to no avail.

I will continue to follow this thread hoping that there is some final solution as to why the Earthquake is "buggy". Thanks to all who post, you have been a great help in trying to figure this anomaly out.

            belchertown_locale = "auto"

Try deleting the earthquake.json file as the earthequake stuff gets regenerated every 3 hours by default. So you might have to wait 3 hours before noticing any changes.

The json file will be recreated the next reporting run.

The file is here: 
/var/www/html/<whateveryouo called it>/belchertown/json/earthquake.json

My site is here: https://weather.ubeaut.work/belchertown/
It shows km and km in the earthquake section.

Yeah, apparently I needed to wait for the next refresh. It is functioning properly now.

Thanks for checking though.

You just need to delete the earthquake.json file and it recreates next cycle.

Hi Patrick,

Can you upload the belchertown.py file you are currently using?

Regards, Arend

hi, Arend,

I am with skin belchertown 1.2.

I done this modifications inside belchertown.py

[

Additional context

Fixes:

Changed in belchertown.py:

distance_unit = converter.group_unit_dict["group_distance"]

into

distance_unit = self.generator.converter.group_unit_dict["group_distance"]

And:

eqdistance = eq_distance_round % eqdistance_bearing[0]

into

eqdistance = locale.format("%g", float(eq_distance_round % eqdistance_bearing[0]) )

And:

eqmag = eqdata["features"][0]["properties"]["mag"]

into

eqmag = locale.format("%g", float(eqdata["features"][0]["properties"]["mag"]) )

And:

eqmag = round(eqdata["features"][0]["properties"]["magnitude"],1)

into

eqmag = locale.format("%g", float(round(eqdata["features"][0]["properties"]["magnitude"],1)) )

After applying these changes:]

but I have some errors in logs:

That belchertown.py file is an old 1.2 version. The problem right now is that there are multiple Belchertown versions out there which all bear the version number 1.2. This is because at the moment changes are all merged into the Belchertown 1.2 master without changes to the version numbers.

My advice would be to upgrade your skin from the Belchertown repo with the latest "1.2". That way you are sure your skin will get updated with many new features and fixes including the earthquakedistance unit fix. If you choose to do this, make sure you backup your current skin.conf and graphs,conf files before your upgrade.

Ummmmm - not quite.   There is no such thing as 'Belchertown 1.2 master'.   There is the released v1.2 and there is a rolling  'unreleased' master of whatever might come next.

A quick look says that there have been 137 commits to master after 1.2 was released in September, so if you simply run off a git clone of master there is some risk until Pat releases a new tested version.  You can get the 'released' versions from https://github.com/poblabs/weewx-belchertown/releases
