hi,

i have some problems with the max wind direction since update to 3.0.1.

in the database (i use a mysql database) it is correct, i think.

but when i use "$day.wind.max aus $day.wind.gustdir ($day.wind.gustdir.ordinal_compass) um $day.wind.maxtime" i get the correct windspeed and time but no direction, only a (N/A). it is the same for week, month and year.

have anybody a idea how i get the correct values?

thanks
Michael

Hi, Michael

I'm not sure which table you are showing in your email. Table archive_day_wind?

If so, it is missing a few key columns. It looks like the tables used by the scalar observations (like outTemp). Wind uses a special "vector" table, which includes columns such as "max_dir," necessary to give you the direction at max wind speed.

Use the tool mysql to see what the schema of your table looks like:

mysql> show columns in weewx.archive_day_wind;

It should look something like:

+------------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+

+------------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+

| dateTime | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | |

| min | double | YES | | NULL | |

| mintime | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |

| max | double | YES | | NULL | |

| maxtime | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |

| sum | double | YES | | NULL | |

| count | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |

| dirsumtime | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |

+------------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+

15 rows in set (0.00 sec)

If yours is different, I'm not sure how it got garbled up. You could try just dropping the daily summaries and rebuild:

$ cd /home/weew

$ wee_config_database weewx.conf --drop-daily --backfill-daily

(adjust paths as necessary)

Appreicate the tags quoted are '.wind' tags but my first thought was that it's archive_day_windDir or archive_day_windGustDir? In which case the max/min, maxtime/minime are largely meaningless numbers and not related to anything '.wind' might produce.

Ah, yes. Good eye, Gary. That's probably the table Michael posted.

Michael, although there is a table archive_day_windDir in the database, it is not actually used by the tag $day.wind.gustdir. It would be used by a tag such as $day.windDir.max.

Make sure you're looking at the right table: archive_day_wind. Let us know what's in there.

hi,

thanks for your fast replay and sorry i forgot to write that my example was the archive_day_windDir.
the weewx.archive_day_wind looks like your's but i have no record for the max direction.

but when i use now "$day.wind.max aus $day.windDir.max ($day.windDir.max.ordinal_compass) um $day.wind.maxtime" i get now the direction.
can i use this now or are the values are not correct? and why i get no record in the weewx.archive_day_wind for the direction ?

thanks for your help
Michael

Hello,

The tag $day.windDir.max is not the same as $day.wind.gustdir

$day.windDir.max is the maximum value for wind direction. If you have a group of wind directions 92, 102, 85, 65, this would be 102. It does not account for wind speed. Usually not a very useful value.

$day.wind.gustdir is the direction of the maximum wind velocity. This is usually what you want.

What kind of weather instrument?

And, have you set option loop_hilo to False?

hi,

thanks for your time, in my config it is loop_hilo = True. is it better to set false?

i use a wmr 88 but all work correct bevore 3.0.1 update so i think its not the station.

I have not forgotten about you.

However, I must admit, I do not have a solution either. Right now, I am busy with other things, but hopefully I will have some time soon to think about this.

Michael,

Can you replace your copy of the file bin/weewx/manager.py with this one? It is instrumented with some extra logging.

Replace it, set debug =1, then restart weewx. Send me the log.

Unfortunately, my instrumented version of manager.py had a bug that caused it to crash if given a null (Python None) wind direction.

But, at least we know wind direction is null in the accumulator!

If you run weewx from the command line (using the original version of manager.py), what values do you see for windDir? Let it run for a bit and post the results.

Hi,

Just wanted to say I'm having the same issue with my WMR-88 after updating to 3.0.1. If I look in the stats database the WindGustDir entries are all blank following the update.

I'll let you guys carry on the problem solving - just thought knowing it's not an isolated case may help you find it!

Thanks,

Jules

julian,

thanks for chiming in. it looks like the wmr100 driver never sets the windGustDir, even when windGust is assigned a value. funny thing is, that part of the driver logic did not change from 2.x to 3.x.

so that means the change of behavior is probably due to changes in accum.py

tom?

This would explain the behavior. The accumulators look at both windSpeed and windGust to find the high and low. The wind direction was being saved from whichever was highest, as it should be. So, if windGust is consistently higher than windSpeed, it will always be windGustDir which is saved, which would always be null.

The accumulators certainly changed in V3.x (to allow them to be extended to new types), so behavior must have subtly changed.

Two possible solutions:

If windGust gets set in the driver, then make sure windGustDir gets set as well.
In the accumulators, use windDir if windGustDir is unavailable.

My clear preference is #1.

hi tom,

my english is not the best but i do my best ;-) and google translate is not every time a help :-)

I 'm not sure if I understand you correctly, u mean the max wind guest direction is not available any more and with the wmr88 we must now use $day.windDir.max
and not $day.wind.gustdir ?

Here's a new version of the driver that sets windGustDir. Julian and Michael, can you give it a try?

Replace bin/weewx/drivers/wmr100.py with it.

hi tom,

now i have a direction but the speed is completely wrong, i get on weewx now 50 km/h but the station show in moment 5,4 km/h and thats ok, i think the miles to km/h calculation is wrong?

thanks

Sorry. In trying to simplify the code in the driver, I inadvertently introduced an error of a factor of 10. Try this version.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, I didn't know whether to reply to this one or start a new one.

I'm also getting N/A for $day.wind.gustdir $yesterday.wind.gustdir etc using the Interceptor driver on an Aercus Weather Sleuth / Fine Offset WH2600.

WeeWx 3.5.0 on a Pi running Jessie.

Interceptor.py is Version 0.8 that Matthew modified when I was having issues with rain.

Regards,

Steve.

Hi, I thought I'd have a crack at this myself and failed miserably. Any clues as to why?

I looked at Tom's code for the WMR100 that he posted and it looks to me like if the conditions are met then windGustDir is windDir

# Otherwise, use the regular wind direction for the gust direction
_record['windGustDir'] = _record['windDir']

When I try the following in the interceptor.py drive under the Observer section I actually lose my windDir but windGustDir has a value in the database. (I didn't run debug, but no errors were generated without it).

            # for all firmware
            'winddir': 'windDir',
            'winddir': 'windGustDir',
            'UV': 'UV',
            'lowbatt': 'txBatteryStatus',

When I ran my mod, windDir is NULL, windGustDir has a value (except when it was dead calm and all were NULL as expected). When I commented out my mod, it was back to normal except no windGustDir as before.

steve,

thanks for having a go at this. the reason your approach failed is because the sensor-to-schema mapping (LABEL_MAP) is a one-to-one mapping, not a one-to-many mapping.

a workaround is to use StdCalibrate:

[StdCalibrate]
[[Corrections]]
windGustDir = windDir

at least until we figure out a general pattern to use in the drivers.

Thanks for that Matthew.

I'll use that for now.

I did notice that the station also emits the same wind gust several times until "something" makes it change, I was also trying to work out how to get the windGustDir to only = windDir when the gust value changed so it didn't simply follow windDir every packet, I'll have to do more work for that. :)

Steve.
