OpenWeatherMap 0.9 extension on weewx 4.1.1 not working

[Steve Magnuson]

I can't seem to get the OpenWeatherMap extension to work.  I'm probably missing something obvious and just need another set of eyes to point it out to me.

I've installed the OWM extension 0.9 on my weewx 4.1.1 running on RPi 4B (latest Buster image):

$ wee_extension --list

Extension Name    Version   Description

owm               0.9       Upload weather data to OpenWeatherMap.

After registering my station at OWM per the instructions, I've added the relevant configuration in the [StdRESTful] section in /etc/weewx/weewx.conf:

    [[OpenWeatherMap]]

        appid = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxa8

        station_id = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxd0

...and restarted weewx:

$ sudo systemctl restart weewx

My updates to Wunderground and CWOP work fine, but I see no activity to OWM and nothing in the log file at all about OWM even with debug enabled.

Hi,

The OWM uploader is not loading and no error is thrown which points towards a fundamental config error. Could please run wee_debug (http://weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#wee_debug_utility) and post a copy of the output. Before posting the wee_debug output check it for any sensitive info such as passwords, user names, api keys etc. wee_debug is good at obfuscating such info but it’s not perfect.

Gary,

Obfuscated wee_debug output is attached.

For some reason the extension installer did not add the OWM uploader to the list of RESTful services to be run. You can fix it manually, just edit weewx.conf, goto [Engine] [[Services]] and add “, user.owm.OpenWeatherMap” to the end of the restful_services setting, something like:

restful_services = weewx.restx.StdStationRegistry, weewx.restx.StdWunderground, weewx.restx.StdPWSweather, weewx.restx.StdCWOP, weewx.restx.StdWOW, weewx.restx.StdAWEKAS, user.owm.OpenWeatherMap

Save weewx.conf and restart WeeWX. Check the log to see that OWM was loaded on startup and then called every archive period.

Thanks again, Gary.  I added user.owm.OpenWeatherMap manually to weewx.conf per your instructions and it's working fine now.
