weewx purple air

[rons...@gmail.com]

Good Morning,

I am getting these errors in my log.

Aug 26 07:18:44 raspberrypi wee_reports[9070] ERROR user.purple: Could not get concentrations from any source.

any reason for concern?

It looks like you have both the weewx-purple and the weewx-purpleair extensions installed.  You probably should pick one.

As for the errors from weewx-purple (ERROR user.purple), the purpleair device (purpleair-8ac1) is not responding, so yes, that is a problem.

If you decide to keep weewx-purple, rather than weewx-purpleair, do the following:

From a browser on your home network, what happens when you enter the following URL?

http://purpleair-8ac1/json?live=true

I do not think that will work, in weewx.conf, substitute the IP address for purpleair-8ac1 and you should be good.  Alternatively, if you have DNS set up, you could us the DNS name.

So it looks like my purple air keeps going off line. The WiFi is connected but the device goes into an unknown state. I contacted purple air for troubleshooting.

typically going to this link it goes right into the device.

http://purpleair-8ac1/json?live=true

[John Kline]

Got it.  Besides that issue, you really should have only one of weewx-purple or weewx-purpleair installed.  Pick one and uninstall the other.

HI, now it looks like the data has stopped populating in the database

stuck at 489 records.

I just replaced my tempest with a new one.

syslog attached , I don't see any errors.

My purple air is stable.

weewx.conf attached

any help would be appreciated

Your logs show nothing obvious but I suspect your hostname 'PurpleAir-8ac1' is not resolvable from the weewx system.   Just a guess.

[vince]

oops - you didn't say which system wasn't populating records.  Was it the WF or the PA ?

If you changed to a new Tempest sensor the serial number has to be changed in weewx.conf to match.

[Ron Sell]

It’s the purple air not populating.

The purple air has data .

When I go to the hostname/json all the data is there.

I updated my conf with the new tempest data.

I know nothing about Purple Air but this sure looks like an error to me:

Sep  1 16:36:37 raspberrypi weewx[1293] DEBUG weewx.engine: Loading service user.purple.Purple

Sep  1 16:36:38 raspberrypi weewx[1293] INFO user.purple: Service version is 3.0.2.

Sep  1 16:36:38 raspberrypi weewx[1293] ERROR user.purple: Could not get concentrations from any source.

Sep  1 16:36:38 raspberrypi weewx[1293] ERROR user.purple: No sources configured for purple extension.  Purple extension is inoperable.

He doesn’t have the purple extension configured in weewx.conf, so he’ll get that message since no sources are configured.

To get rid of that message change the following:

data_services = user.purple.Purple,

to

data_services = ,

A proper uninstall would have removed it.

As for the PurpleAirMonitor you do have configured, perhaps ask the author.
