How to change upload interval to Weather Underground

[John Schultz]

WeeWx is installed on  a RaspberryPi 3 pulling data from a Davis Vantage Pro 2. I do not want to use rapid fire to send data to Weather Underground. It currently uploads every 600 seconds (10 minutes). I want to change this to 300 seconds (5 minutes) but cannot find any reference in documentation on how to change this.

Uploads to the WU (and other websites) are done after every archive record is generated. By default, the VP2 uses hardware record generation, so this happens every time your logger creates a new archive record. In your case, this looks like every 10 minutes. If you want to change this, you must tell your logger to generate every 5 minutes.

You can do this using the utility wee_device. Stop WeeWX, then run

wee_device --set-interval=5

Then restart WeeWX

Thanks Tom. I knew this would be a simple fix. I appreciate the fast response. Below is the results of the change:

pi@raspberrypi:/home/weewx/bin $ sudo ./wee_device --set-interval=5

Using configuration file /home/weewx/weewx.conf

Using Vantage driver version 3.1.1 (weewx.drivers.vantage)

Old archive interval is 10 minutes, new one will be 5 minutes.

Proceeding will change the archive interval as well as erase all old archive records.

Are you sure you want to proceed (y/n)? y

Archive interval now set to 300 seconds.

Archive records erased.

pi@raspberrypi:/home/weewx/bin $
