Working on an NWS Driver

[Kenny Stier]

I have a Weewx setup at home and really like the website it generates.

I'm living 2 hours away on a college campus now, and want a similar experience here, but I'm too cheap to buy another weather station, so I'm developing a driver that pulls data from the National Weather Service API.

https://github.com/KennyStier/weewx-nws

It is working, but for some reason

If just left to run as normal (weewx runs in background as service), the data is not updated (keeps feeding the same old data), so as a hacky workaround a cronjob is restarting weewx every so often

Anyone with driver experience have any pointers?

Two comments:

You're doing a lot of non-standard Python, which makes it hard to follow what you're doing (variables named 'dict', declaration of 'self.observations' outside of where 'self' is in scope, etc). This makes it too hard to debug in my head.

Second, it's really hard to tell what's going on without the log. See the wiki article Help! Posting to weewx-user.
