Hi All, hopefully this is s simple question.

I just installed WeeWx v4.5.1 today on a RPi4. I am using a Vantage Pro wireless, and WeeWx is connected to a Davis Weather Envoy with data logger via USB. I installed Nginx as the web server on the RPi. I have been running it on an ancient version of Ambient Software for Windows with no problems.

The web data updates every 10 minutes, exactly on the 10 minute mark, i.e :10, :20, :30 etc. I figured this is clock driven somehow because it doesn't matter if I reboot, restart the service, refresh the browser, or anything. It is always on the 10 minute mark.

Where can I change this? I want it to update every minute. I have looked everywhere and either I do not understand the terminology, or I am missing it entirely. I looked for any occurrence to 10 (minutes), 600 (seconds) and checked the cron jobs. No luck.

How can I change the update interval?

Thanks!

Check out https://weewx.com/docs/hardware.htm#vantage_notes (note the --set-interval option)

Note the comment to stop weewx before messin' with settings.  You might also try the --info option first to verify your hardware's setup.   Hopefully it reports the 10 minute period you're seeing weewx update on.

That did it, thanks. The interval was set to 600 seconds. It is now set to 60.

I appreciate the really quick help!

Now off to check out weather24 for a nicer CSS look.
