New to Group.. Just setup weewx on rpi3B - some issues-questions... (WeatherFlow)

[Tom Cichowicz]

I was able to setup and get working a weewx system on a rpi3B. All seemed to go pretty well, and as expected based on instructions.

I installed the WeatherFlow UDP driver, seems to be working.... ?

My first issue is that the webserver html pages generated seem to have all my TEMP sensors wrong.  However the data that shows to be updating my Wunderground PWS appears OK?

My Next issue is I want to publish pages - to a remote server, via FTP. I'm assuming I need to install an FTP client on my rpi3B? I've seen a few sties showing how to do that. can I choose any package? or are there known good/best solutions for that?

  Thanks for anyone's HELP.... so far I like the system... I'm sure my issues will be resolved with a missing configuration setting.

Not much to go by here. What do you mean by "TEMP sensors wrong." The numbers? Graphs? Is this a unit issue? We need some details.

You do not need an FTP client. Those are if you want to run FTP from a command line. WeeWX uses the library client that comes with Python.

Oh... yeah sorry. It appears that the readings are not converting?  Celsius to Fahrenheit   my temp is 89F - weewx output shows 31.9.

I have just setup a webpage - on my server. My weewx - site

[Tom Cichowicz]

I've just captured some of the output from the daemon - it really doesn't seem to apply to my hardware (weatherflow/tempest).

I don't have indoor sensors, it also shows " supplyVoltage: 11.900930327775894"  the weatherflow voltage should be between (3.6-3.0).

Are you sure you're not still using the simulator? The webpage sure looks like simulator data.

No I'm not sure..  But that would make sense. I went through the driver install and it seemed to go well. Perhaps I didn't see something I should have?

   So do I just try and re-install it?

[Tom Cichowicz]

Well, I did a reinstall... ?? stopped and restarted ... no change?

pi@weewx:/home/weewx/bin $ sudo ./wee_extension --install weatherflow-udp-master.zip

Request to install 'weatherflow-udp-master.zip'

Extracting from zip archive weatherflow-udp-master.zip

Saving installer file to /home/weewx/bin/user/installer/weatherflowudp

Finished installing extension 'weatherflow-udp-master.zip'

 should I try running the setup.py again?

[Tom Cichowicz]

Yeah ... it still set for simulator --

##############################################################################

    # This section is for the weewx weather station simulator

    # The time (in seconds) between LOOP packets.

    # The simulator mode can be either 'simulator' or 'generator'.

    # Real-time simulator. Sleep between each LOOP packet.

    mode = simulator

    # Generator.  Emit LOOP packets as fast as possible (useful for testing).

    #mode = generator

    # The start time. Format is YYYY-mm-ddTHH:MM. If not specified, the default

the driver appears to be where it is suppose to be?

You installed the driver, which is part one.  Good.

You next need to configure your weewx.conf to know your sensor mappings.  This requires you to know your station's IDs (presumably a Tempest ?).   An example is in the driver github page at https://github.com/captain-coredump/weatherflow-udp (substitute in your sensor ID numbers)

Then you need to reconfigure weewx to 'use' the Weatherflow driver.  See http://www.weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#wee_config_utility and the --reconfigure option for that.

 Then you'll be done.

[Tom Cichowicz]

Vince...   THANK YOU!

That's what I was missing. 

I'm not using Tempest hardware. I'm an original crowd support member - so I have the museum hardware.

It appears to be UP and running with my data NOW ...(Link to my page)

 Thanks AGAIN!

[Tom Cichowicz]

I do have one more question ....

   is there a quick way to wipe my data - so I can start from scratch, I have a days worth of simulator data - stuck in my history...

Yes. Just stop weewx, delete the database file, then restart

rm /home/weewx/archive/weewx.sdb

-tk

[Tom Cichowicz]

OK ... I lied...   

(  first .... Thanks will do shortly)

 There is a sidebar -  that is all N/A -- can I remove that somehow? I checked the weewx.conf but can't see anything obvious.

edit the html template in your skin directory. The file is something.html.tmpl

Find the lines you don't want and remove them using any text editor, like nano. Make a backup copy first so if you mess it up you can go back and try again.
