weewx/meteostick no data temp_hum_1_channel

[Joachim Puttkammer]

I installed meteostick after the instruction of Matthew Wall ' https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-meteostick'.

It works nearly perfect (thanks to matthew), but there is a problem with the temp_hum_1_channel und temp_hum_2_channel data.

weewx.conf

    # The channel of the Vantage Vue, Pro, or Pro2 ISS

    iss_channel = 1

    # Additional channels apply only to Vantage Pro or Pro2

    anemometer_channel = 4

    leaf_soil_channel = 5

    temp_hum_1_channel = 2

    temp_hum_2_channel = 3

--

There are datas from the ISS  $current.outTemp etc. , the anemometer $current.windSpeed, the leaf_soil $current.soilMoist1  

but no datas for temp_hum_1 $current.extraTemp1  and temp_hum_2 $current.extraTemp2

The temp_hum_X_channels meassure only temperatures (greenhouse and pool)

thank you for the kind words, but luc and kobuki deserve the credit for the meteostick driver.

do you see any data when you do $day.extraTemp1 or $week.extraTemp2 ?

do you see any data when you query the database directly?  for example, something like this:

sqlite3 /var/lib/weewx/weewx.sdb
sqlite> select dateTime,outTemp,leaf_soil,extraTemp1,extraTemp2 from archive;

NO DATA

the table columns extraTemp1 and extraTemp2 are empty, not dateTime and outTemp

I tried also mysql, the same result.
I also tested the meteostick with a terminal programm like CuteCom, it readouts all sensors.

joachim,

it looks like the 'machine' format parses for temp_1 and temp_2, but the 'raw' format does not.

as a short-term hack, try setting format=machine in the [Meteostick] section in weewx.conf, then restart weewx.

luc and kobuki,

the meteostick driver is missing code to parse thermo/hygro station data.  see the if clause around line 1038.  it gets the battery status, but does not parse the sensor data.

joachim, if you leave format=raw and set debug=2, you should see messages about "data from thermo/hygro channel: ...".  please post these log messages so that we can implement the code to do raw parsing for thermo/hygro sensors.

[Luc Heijst]

Matthew,

Until now we don't know the data format of a thermo/hygro station. That's why the code in the raw parsing is missing.

With help of the debug data of Joachim we could find out the missing protocol and complete the driver.

Luc.  

[Luc Heijst]

Joachim,

With your help we can complete the meteostick driver!

Please set 

    debug_parse = 2

in the meteostick section of weewx.conf and restart weewx.

Please send the log files from the start of weewx over a period of about one hour..

You can send the file to my private mail address: ljm.heijst at gmail dot com.

Thanks in advance.

As soon as the protocol is known I will send you a modified driver for testing.

Cheers,

Luc 

Could you please send 

[Joachim Puttkammer]

Luc,
tomorrow I will sent the logfile.

joachim,

meteostick driver 0.42 is now available on github.  please try it with format=raw to see if it gets the data from your sensors now.

[Joachim Puttkammer]

meteostick driver 0.42 is now available on github.  please try it with format=raw to see if it gets the data from your sensors now.

I tried the new driver (after my vacation) the result is : no datas for  extraTempX sensors  and value for outTemp is too high
format=machine gives values for ALL sensors , but all values are not correct

The older driver generates correct values (format=raw) unfortunately no datas for  extraTempX sensors.

Joachim,

Please set debug_parse = 2 and format = raw in weewx.conf and restart weewx with the latest driver from github (0.42). Which values do you get for outTemp and what values did you expect?

You can sent the log file to my private mail.

Thanks to Luc,

the new meteostick driver version works very well,
there are good datas for all sensors.

The credit also comes to Kobuki of the meteostick driver testing team. Together we sorted out how to handle this problem.
Also thanks to Matthew for his advices.

Hi Luc, hi Kobuki 

I´m still back from summer season and thank you for all the work with meteostick.  In the meanwhile I updated all sticks to 0.44 - still working. 

Thanks here to all - great job
