Can someone help me understand why the current AQI won't show up in the Belchertown skin? Here is what I have in my weewx.conf:

forecast_enabled = 1

forecast_provider="aeris"

forecast_api_id = "2XPqhckudySx8ukdCjsHz"

forecast_api_secret = "zMGHGb4SlobEOm9QmTy73Zmd0g7xnhl2681vTd7x

And here is what is in the graph.conf:

[[Chart5]]

title = Air Quality Index

[[[aqiChart]]]

Can someone enlighten me as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Chris

Thanks Doug. Let me take a look at the new skin and try it out. I saw it on Pat O'Brien's web site but didn't know where to download it. Looks like he also added a web cam feature. Very cool!

1. You need to be on the Belchertown 1.3b1 release of the skin in order to get the latest AQI fixes that were applied this year. here is the instructions how to do that:

https://github.com/poblabs/weewx-belchertown#how-to-install-the-development-version

2. You can not chart the AQI data inside of Belchertown skin. the AQI data is pulled when the skin queries AERIS during its forecast cycle. The data is not stored in the weewx database, so the graphs will not work. I checked my setup and I am not recording the AQI data in the archive table.

3. For ease, here is my AQI setup for belchertown. it is currently working:

When it downloads the zip file, it downloads weewx-belchertown.master.zip. Is this the right file? Do I just change the command to sudo wee_extension -- install weewx-belchertown.master.zip?

Chris:

Yes. Make sure you used the link from Pat's documentation (https://github.com/poblabs/weewx-belchertown/archive/master.zip) to download the latest commit from github.

Then backup your weewx.conf file and any files that you changed in the skins/Belchertown/* directory as these will be overwritten with this master.zip file.

Finally, you would run sudo wee_extension --install master.zip in the directory where you downloaded the file. This will replace your belchertown skin with the latest.

If this helps, here are the commands (on ubuntu)

# CODE START
cd ~

wget https://github.com/poblabs/weewx-belchertown/archive/master.zip

sudo wee_extension --install master.zip

sudo service weewx restart

# CODE END

Let me know if this helps!

Okay thanks Doug. Let me try it.

If I want to backup copy my whole Belchertown folder, can I use cp /etc/weewx/skins/Belchertown /etc/weewx/skins/Belchertown-old ?

Will the cp command copy a whole folder to back it up? Or is it just for files?

I believe the copy command you want is cp -R /etc/weewx/skins/Belchertown /etc/weewx/skins/Belchertown-old

The -R recursively copies all folders to the new location. See man cp

Thanks Doug! Your code worked like a charm. Here is the current site. I will keep adding the code from Pat to incorporate the web cam.

No problem Chris! The site looks great and operates well on my side of the world :)

Pat did mention that to get the webcam working, there is a specific comment and commit you need to get from his GitHub. I would just go to his github and search for it. He has it working on his site now and probably will have the code for his release general release.

Good luck and good reporting!

Doug

I got it working. I put the code in from Pat that adds a webcam tab behind the radar.
