Hi all,
I set up the environment as defined.

- copied the wetter.py into the user directory
- made the changes with pwd and username (as defined in the wetter.com section by wetter.com
- added the section in weewx.conf
- added the restful_service entry under ENGINE

but there is no data transmitted to the wetter.com interface.

checking the syslog, I see all transmissions to AWEKAS, CWOP, PSWETHER, UNDERGROUND, but no entry for WETTER.COM.

Any idea what the trouble could cause?

It is a little prob I guess, but I am lost.

What is the install.py in the wetter.tgz?
Is there anything I have to do with it, and if so, how

Best
Frank

Frank, add this to end of restful_services in weewx.conf:

user.wetter.Wetter

then restart weewx. install.py is used by the extension installer.

Hi mwall,

thanks for the reply.
I have the follwoing in the weewx.conf

[Engines]
[[WXEngine]]
 service_lists = ........... some engines.....
 restful_services = user.wetter.Wetter

the restful_services has only ONE entry.....!!!!!

but no success.... every extension works fine xmt wetter.com

there is one thing different in /bin/user. There are always two files e.g. xxx.py and xxx.pyc.
but wetter.py does not have that. Is that ok...

if you are using weewx 2.5.x, then use wetter.py version r760.  'driver = user.wetter.Wetter' in the [Wetter] section.  no restful_services parameter.

http://lancet.mit.edu/mwall/projects/weather/releases/weewx-wetter-r760.py

if you are using weewx 2.6.x then use wetter.py version 0.1.  no 'driver' in the [Wetter] section.  restful_services = ..., user.wetter.Wetter

http://lancet.mit.edu/mwall/projects/weather/releases/weewx-wetter-0.1.tgz

.py is the source code.  .pyc is generated automatically when the source is compiled. no .pyc means that the corresponding .py has not been run.

Hi Matthew,

thanks for the assistance.
System works as designed.

I made the changes to the script/conf at 23:30 but the data on wetter.com showed up at 05:30 first time....
So it took a while to be recognized by the wetter.com I guess....

Anyway....

Best
Frank
