Custom service (HTTP request) - pywws sending the same data over and over

[Steen Eiler Jørgensen]

Based on the temperaturnu template, I've made a module to send a HTTP request to my Node-RED server. It receives the data fine enough, and returns a 200 status code to the pywws module.

But after a while I discovered that it's the same data point it's sending over and over. I've pu ['data'] in the live-section of weather.ini, and when I start pywws-livelog -vvv /home/pi/weather/data, I get

16:37:08:urllib3.connectionpool:http://data:1880 "GET /wx?json=%7B'pressure_abs_hpa':%20'940.8',%20'rain_mm':%20'0.0',%20'rain_last_24hours_mm':%20'0.0',%20'idx':%20'2021-02-20%2015:16:05',%20'wind_ave_mps':%20'0.00',%20'rain_last_hour_mm':%20'0.0',%20'temp_out_c':%20'6.1',%20'rain_day_mm':%20'0.0',%20'wind_gust_mps':%20'0.00',%20'hum_in':%20'39',%20'wind_chill_c':%20'6.1',%20'pressure_rel_hpa':%20'940.8',%20'temp_in_c':%20'24.9'%7D HTTP/1.1" 200 328

over and over. The time is always 15:16:05 even here almost half an hour later. And the values never change.

What am I overlooking?

Did you keep the #live# directive at the start of the template in your
module?
