Finally moving from wview to weewx

[P Black]

Hi,

I am finally moving from wview to weewx and want to make sure that I am doing it correctly...and...easily.

station: VantagePro2

computer: old---raspberry pi 3 running wview with extended sensors (using a couple extra thermocouples)

new: raspberry pi 5 (addon battery powered RTC) running weewx 5.1

So far:

1) installed weewx 5.1 and have it running using the simulator

2) config for Vantage making sure to use SI units and USB0

3)copied wview database to /var/lib/weewx and rename to weewx.sdb then sudo chown weewx:weewx weewx.sdb

4) tried a simple running with 2) and 3) but only the simulator shows on webpage

Seek advice:

1) what steps should be done next?

2) will the extended data field from wview be populated by weewx or do I need to explicitly set something for that to happen?

3) I assume that I will have to add a couple graphs to display the extra 2 temperature data sets.

4) what problems ...no challenges... do I have yet to fix?

Stay healthy,

Pat

Set debug=1 in weewx.conf, restart weewx, and examine your syslog to verify weewx is indeed running and using the vantage driver.

Vince,

I restarted weewx but after connecting the Vantage to the usb port on the pi.  Looking at the output of  journalctl -f, I saw much weewx activity related to the Vantage.  The webpage was encouraging but still listed the station as the Simulator.  Playing around a little (stop, start, etc) I saw one USB0 error in red, but that was just once and saw it identified the extended data set tables.  After letting it run awhile, the webpage changed to note it was now Hardware Vantage Pro2 and the data curves were getting to be correct.  The outside temperature and dew point is not updating yet for the daily chart but appears to be working for the weekly. After running for awhile  a new graph appeared showing the 2 extended temperature sensors  (very nice...no work on my part).

I will leave it alone to see what finally happens.  The data file I ported over goes back to 2011.

Stay healthy,

Pat

In the absence of logs, we can't help you.  Best of luck.

I stopped weewx, paused and then started it up again.  The following is a copy of the log from after the startup:

Hi,

I am getting a strange future date reading from the Vantage.  It was also happening in the older wview system.  In that case, the system then hung.  Now at least it appears to proceed.  Is that "junk" entry discarded or is it stored somewhere?  What is the recommended way to deal with this event, or is it automatically taken care of by weewx and replace with the current datetime from the computer?

Thanks,

Pat

I was wrong.  weewx also hung and stopped collecting and plotting data.  I had to stop it, purge the Vantage buffer of data and then start weewx to get it going again, but with a gap of lost data.

Is there a simple way around this?  What causes it? 

Thanks

Pat

The logger in the Davis stations does this every once in a while. It seems to be correlated with power outages, but not always --- sometimes it's just random.

You solved your problem, but be sure to see the wiki article on Corrupt station memory.

I am in the process of updating my weewx computer and decided to give weewx 5 a try. It installed easily enough and my custom skin is working well with the simulator.

In all the years I have been  running weewx 4 I have never had a problem retrieving data from the vantage station over USB. It looks like there may be a problem with weewx 5 with the vantage view.

Tom, should I just continue using 4.10.2 to avoid thus problem with 5?

[Tom Keffer]

There is no functional difference between the V4.10 driver and the V5.0 driver. The only changes were to remove support for Python 2. Besides, this is a problem in the logger, not the driver.

Thanks for the fast reply Tom. Have you narrowed it down to just the 5.0 logger or is the problem in the 4.0 logger and I have just lucked out over all these years?

[Tom Keffer]

The logger is a piece of hardware, supplied by Davis, not by WeeWX. It has nothing to do with WeeWX versions.

Its memory gets corrupted occasionally for unknown reasons, although it usually happens around power outages. If you look through the weewx-user archives you'll see this has been going on for the entire 17 years that WeeWX has been around. In all that time, it's only happened to me once and that was after a power outage. After that, I started using a UPS and it has not happened since.

All,

I have had this future date issue for awhile with wview.  I am sure it is a Davis issue and not software.

What are the pro/con for:

1) switching to

[StdArchive] ...

 record_generation = software

or

2) coding some error checking that would result in executing an external script to

sudo systemctl stop weewx

weectl device --dump

weectl device --clear-memory

sudo systemctl start weewx

Thanks,

Pat

[Gerard Cerchio]

Great! I'll proceed with weewx 5! My station is ancient dating back to the '90's.  Perhaps the newer stations introduced the bug.

I would always just use the defaults rather than overengineering what-ifs
