MQTTSubscribe - Presenting a field-name without storing it in the database

[Tarmo]

Can I do it? I have a text in MQTT like "Cloudy with clear spells" which I would like to display on my website. Although, there is no need to store it in the weewx database. I would like to just to update it at every archive interval.

It should be doable. I do something similar with a few temperature sensors/fields. The fact that you are dealing with string data does add some complexity.

First, for the field configuration you will need to set the conversion_type = None. Although it is not documented on the wiki, see https://github.com/bellrichm/WeeWX-MQTTSubscribe/wiki/Configuring#conversion_type This will stop MQTTSubscribe from trying to convert the incoming data.

Next, you will need to configure the accumulator for this field/type.  See, https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Accumulators. It looks like for this field/type you want to set accumulator = firstlast and extractor = last.

Now you should be able to access it via $current. field/type name.

If you get this working, I’d like to ‘steal’ the details/steps for a wiki page.

Thank you!

It seems that the attempt to convert string to float still happens. I will attach snippets from log and config here. The field name which is causing trouble is "phenomenon".

I had the same problem. It seems to me that weewx does not know string values. I tried to send an alarm color value that way, to no success.

[Tom Keffer]

The error you are getting is coming from the ScalarStats accumulator, not the FirstLast accumulator. For some reason, the latter is not getting used, despite your configuration information (which looks correct).

Is there another type besides phenomenon which has a string in it?

The other possibility is that the field/type in the packet generated by MQTTSubscribe is not phenomenon. From the config, it looks like it should be. If you set debug = 1, we can see what MQTTSubscribe is putting in the packet.

For what's worth, I got a small testcase working and see string data in both the loop and archive.

Thanks for the log. Definitely a MQTTSubscribe bug with the name. I’ll look into it.

Feb  8 20:28:53 pi3 weewx[3513] DEBUG user.MQTTSubscribe: (Driver) data-> final loop packet is emhi/26038/phenomenon 2021-02-08 20:28:52 EET (1612808932): dateTime: 1612808932.5151372, emhi/26038/phenomenon: Cloudy with clear spells, usUnits: 16

Try adding a name = 

        [[[emhi/26038/phenomenon]]]

            name = phenomenon

            conversion_type = None

Yeah, I know configuring payloads of type ‘individual’ needs to be reworked...

Thank you very much!

The last one works like a charm. The string is accessible by $current.phenomenon.raw

you own this. this is your work and people around the world are thankful for this.

For me it still does not work.

The configuration is:

[[[pegel/567470/alarmcolor]]]
    name = W567470c
    conversion_type = None
    expires_after = 4000

And the log is:

I tried "none" and "None" in the configuration to the same result.

[bell...@gmail.com]

Looks like a bug when running as a service, I'll take a look.

What does your [Accumulator] section look like?

[Karen K]

There is no such section. Should I have one?

[bell...@gmail.com]

Yes, it would be something like

[Accumulator]

    [[W567470c]]

        accumulator = firstlast

        extractor = last

See, https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Accumulators for additional information

[Karen K]

That's new to me. Thank you very much for that information. I will try it.

[Karen K]

Yes, it works. So the problem was not within MQTTSubscribe service, but in the configuration of the accumulator service. And it was no software issue, but a knowledge issue of the user. :-)
