On my station website OakvilleWX.com, I see MQTT updates most values real-time as it's supposed to. If I leave it up for a time though, I've noticed that the temperature doesn't update unless I refresh the page.

I reviewed the configuration settings this morning and didn't see anything obvious.

Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

In the absence of any logs or config files or description of your station,   I can only suggest doing an external mqtt subscribe to the same topic you have weewx subscribing to and verify you are sending temperature data.

Attached is a clip from my log this morning with debug on and config files. I'll subscribe to the topic and post that asap.
Thanks

Here's a sample from subscribing to weather/loop. Shows outside temp at 51.4. Meanwhile my weather page at https://OakvilleWX.com on my browser was still showing 51.1 but wind was changing every three seconds as expected.

When I refreshed page in browser it then showed 51.4 as well.

I've attached logs, configs and mqtt data a couple of days ago. Temperature and other data is in the mqtt file.

Any thoughts on getting the live mqtt data to update temperature as expected?

Thanks!

Seems only the wind data is updating (direction and speed) from the mqtt data. In addition to temperature, I realize now that the barometer, dew point and humidity are also only updating when I refresh.

Thanks for any assistance!

MQTT is sending data. I turned on debug. Logs shows the site reading the data properly. Only fields changing are data received time, wind direction and beaufort category. All other fields only updated by refreshing the entire page.

Seems unlikely to me that it's a bug. I looked at https://belchertownweather.com/ and it is working correctly there.

Anyone have any thoughts or direction?

Bumping this since the issue still exists.
My own assessment of the lack of response to this thread:
  • I haven't provided enough or right information.
  • Not many users have expertise in Belchertown skin.
  • Truly is a bug. 
If the first, please let me know what if any information would help in making suggestions to solve my issue. If the last two, I guess reporting on github is next step. Any other resources are appreciated as well.

Thanks!
