  • (Registering) I have just registered my station and restarted weewx. How long will it be before my station  shows up on the map?
  • (Rain Year) Also changed the start of the rain year from 1 (January) to 10  (October) to conform to local (USA/CA) practice and restarted weewx. But didn't notice any change to the web site as displayed on my computer. Do I need to make other changes and/or resets?

Welcome. I'm in Walnut Creek.

It should show up pretty quickly (minutes). The obvious error is getting the sign wrong on longitude, but I didn't see your station registered in Mongolia, so that's not it.

Not sure why your rain year change didn't happen.

I'm seeing your station on the map. Don't know how long it's been there, but it's there.

For rainyear: if you haven't done it, you'll have to restart weewxd.

You must be looking at the 'special' map, or perhaps I am looking at a different Walnut Creek, but I don't see a VP2 station at Walnut Creek, just two Acurites.

Whoops, saw the reference to Walnut Creek and thought that was the OP's but it was Peter's.

Think I'll go back to bed now!

My station now appears on the map, so Registering is settled. Which leaves open the question of the Rain Year.

What question specifically regarding Rain Year remains ?

Check what weewx thinks it is with "wee_device --info" and give us the output please.

Need a little help, please.
I use weewx for a couple of years and I've learnd a lot in that time. -->  D-32676 Lügde, Zum Golfplatz (bschnare.de) And now I dont understand why I'm not be able to get my station registered in the map. Where is my mistake ?
What I have done: in weewx.conf --> register this station = true
                                                                 station_url = www.bschnare.de/wp-content/Wetter/index.html
                                                                  latitude = 51.961166
                                                                  longitude = 9.237595
                                                                  location = "D-32676 Lügde, Zum Golfplatz"

In the first build - 7 years ago - I also got the registration. In all other, later builds I dont got it again.
Why ? Where is my mistake ? Please give me an idea.

Best regards
Bodo

Can you post the section of the weewx.conf file with the lat/long?

Hi Peter.
Thanks for coming back.
Here comes the section:

[Station]

    # Description of the station location

    location = "D-32676 Lügde, Zum Golfplatz"

    # Latitude in decimal degrees. Negative for southern hemisphere
    latitude = 51.961166
    # Longitude in decimal degrees. Negative for western hemisphere.
    longitude = 9.237595

    # Altitude of the station, with unit it is in. This is downloaded from
    # from the station if the hardware supports it.
    altitude = 138, meter    # Choose 'foot' or 'meter' for unit

    # Set to type of station hardware. There must be a corresponding stanza
    # in this file with a 'driver' parameter indicating the driver to be used.
    station_type = FineOffsetUSB

    # If you have a website, you may specify an URL
    station_url = www.bschnare.de/wp-content/Wetter/index.html

    # The start of the rain year (1=January; 10=October, etc.). This is
    # downloaded from the station if the hardware supports it.
    rain_year_start = 1

    # Start of week (0=Monday, 6=Sunday)
    week_start = 6

I do not see your station in the registry database.

Set debug=1, restart weewxd, then post the log through the first reporting cycle.

Hi Tom.
Thanks for helping me.
How to copy text and lines ? How to open the log-files ? Need some time to realize this basics. Hope I got the correct lines copied. And I hope this 'short-lines' will be enough ;-)
Send you 'messages' and 'debug'.

What we need is the contents of your system log, /var/log/syslog.

OK. Here it is. And ...... that will be the reason, I think :

==>  Oct 25 10:25:18 raspi3 weewx[16267] DEBUG weewx.restx: StationRegistry: Failed upload attempt 1: b'FAIL: bad registration info: station_url is not a proper URL\n'

If this is the reason - What is a proper station-url ?  Perhaps  'https:\\bschnare.de\wp-content\wetter .....'  ?


Only yours few questions help me for the next times (Where to look, and so.) Thank's a lot.
Regards
Bodo

I think the problem is that you forgot the http://. So, you want

Not shure to understand what you mean, Peter.

In the moment I have nothing else like http:   or https:

Perhaps this the right adress ?   --> https://bschnare.de/wp-content/Wetter/index.html 
Is it that what you mean ?
