New Install Tempest WeatherFlow data collected isn't matching graphs

[Michael Beatty]

Hello,

I've had my Tempest up a couple of years and am pretty familiar with it.  I just installed WeeWx and got it up and running.  All things look good on the application, I'm collecting data from my device just fine.  The console is outputting everything as expected:

LOOP:   2024-06-20 10:45:39 EDT (1718894739) 'altimeter': '30.28156261454087', 'appTemp': 'None', 'barometer': '30.244907956480933', 'cloudbase': '3565.0480592749173', 'dateTime': '1718894739', 'dewpoint': '73.28858853919037', 'ET': 'None', 'heatindex': '93.68293175170459', 'humidex': '104.61743938083383', 'inDewpoint': 'None', 'maxSolarRad': '783.3151214157749', 'outHumidity': '65.55', 'outTemp': '86.21600000000001', 'outTempBatteryStatus': '2.514', 'pressure': '29.600564170125', 'radiation': '660', 'rain': '0.0', 'rainRate': '0.0', 'usUnits': '1', 'UV': '7.23', 'windBatteryStatus': '2.514', 'windchill': 'None', 'windrun': 'None'

However, when I pull up the webpage localhost/weewx/index.html, the data doesn't match at all.  The temperature readings are being converted to Celsius, but are labled as Fahrenheit (and as you can see from the data above, they are being logged as Fahreneheit) Windspeed is labled as mph but are being logged as what appears to be mps.   And the UV index and radiation are just flat out wrong.  

The webpage data is changing and getting updated, but it seems like there are some wires/conversions that are crossed somewhere.

You didn't include a copy of the log, but those sure look like curves from the simulator.

Thank you for the reply.  I do see at the bottom of the web page it says "Hardware Simulator".  I am using the Tempest weather station, so when I first installed Weewx, I selected "Simulator".  I then went and added the WeatherFlowUDP plugin to the weewx.conf file and the "station_type" parameter is = "WeatherFlowUDP".

How do I switch the webpages to be displaying data from my WeatherFlowUDP instead of Simulator?

[Tom Keffer]

If you delete all the webpages, they will be regenerated at the next reporting cycle.

But, what about the database? Is it all simulator? A mix of simulator and WeatherFlow? You may have to delete it as well.

Finally, to switch drivers, it is usually best to use the command "weectl station reconfigure"

If you continue to have problems, make sure you include a copy of the log.

Thank you, deleting the webpages worked.  And it is now displaying my station data in the web pages.  Is there a utility to wipe out the station data in the database instead of wiping out the whole database?

[Tom Keffer]

Not really. You can do it with appropriate SQL statements, but if the database does not contain anything useful, you're better off just deleting it and starting afresh.
