Hello,

Is there a way to see a full list of data that the Vantage Pro2 ( cabled ) provides to WeeWX?

Thanks!

Yes. Every type emitted in both LOOP packets and archive records is included, so running WeeWX from the command line will print out the whole lot.

The types are also listed in the Hardware Guide.

Mr. Keffer,

Thanks for the timely reply! I did as you suggested as was able to get the following to print out in terminal--

However, what this doesn't tell me is what WeeWX will calculate on the fly using the data provided. Is there a way to ping WeeWX to provide the data it calculates for specific hardware? I realize that this is a tall order, however if it exists, this will save me hours of cross-referencing to see what's being gathered and what's being calculated on the fly.

Many thanks

I guess I don't understand. What do you need that's not in the link that I provided? It shows what's generated in the hardware, what's generated in the software.

Mr. Keffer,

My apologies. I somehow missed the link. That has everything I need-- thanks a ton for the direction!

Hello, Paul

Can you tell me which command you used to get print out this.?

Hello, Keffer

Is there any way to use weewx in another script?
I want to create a GUI and display current data from Davis Vantage Pro 2.

I'm currently using WeeWX to digest the data and serve it as JSON so we can hook it into an existing GUI.. as for making your own, WeeWX should suffice with it's template system. It's very good.

weewxd /etc/weewx/weewx.conf

Look up running WeeWX directly. The hardware guide has all the specific details about what's provided by what.
