Importing from WeatherCat

[vhel...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Trying to import from weathercat monthly .cat files.

I get this error:

ville@weewx:~/Location1/2017$ sudo wee_import --config=/etc/weewx/weewx.conf --import-config=/etc/weewx/import/wct.conf --verbose

Using WeeWX configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf

Starting wee_import...

WeatherCat monthly .cat files in the '/home/ville/Location1' directory will be imported

The following options will be used:

     config=/etc/weewx/weewx.conf, import-config=/etc/weewx/import/wct.conf

     from=None, to=None

     dry-run=None, calc-missing=True

     tranche=250, interval=derive

     UV=True, radiation=True

Using database binding 'wx_binding', which is bound to database 'weewx.sdb'

Destination table 'archive' unit system is '0x01' (US).

Missing derived observations will be calculated.

I really don't know what to try next?

Can somebody advice?

Weewx is latest version 4.2.0 installed on ubuntu 20.04 via apt-get.

Hi,

Thank you, there is indeed a flaw in the weathercat import code. I have fixed it and it should appear in WeeWX 4.3.0. In the meantime you can carry on with your importing by downloading and using the updated file as follows:

1. move aside your existing weathercatimport.py:

$ sudo mv /usr/share/weewx/weeimport/weathercatimport.py /usr/share/weewx/weeimport/weathercatimport_orig.py

2. download the updated weathercatimport.py:

$ sudo wget -P /usr/share/weewx/weeimport https://raw.githubusercontent.com/weewx/weewx/master/bin/weeimport/weathercatimport.py

3. retry your import

Please let me know if there are any further errors.

Hello Gary,

I can confirm that this updated script works now! I can finally, finally import my data from 2013 to weewx. 

Thank you so much for making this script!
