Bootstrap and documentation?

[Yves Martin]

Hi,

Where can I find a documentation for the new Bootstrap (4)?

I want to add my solar and UV sensors under the live screen, but I have no information.

Tks.

Yves

As of today, the documentation is very limited. Some documentation is in the skin.conf predefined configs. ([see LiveCharts]) An upgrade guide, and a guide for MQTT is in the wiki: https://github.com/brewster76/fuzzy-archer/wiki

You are invited to participate in improving the docs, your ongoing experience will be a valuable source :)

BTW: the upcoming version v4.1 has a predefined, combined radiation/UV chart, you can simply enable (at least if you use "radiation" and "UV" obs_type). v4.1 is not released yet, but I consider it usable by now, and it will be released soon and I'd recommend already going for 4.1 for the new features and bug fixes. https://github.com/brewster76/fuzzy-archer/archive/refs/heads/4.1.zip Such combined charts are not available in prior versions.

My Test page is running v4.1, here is how the combined charts looks like: https://www.kainzbauer.net/weather/Rif/de/

Also, a very basic config guide is included on the "about" page: https://www.kainzbauer.net/weather/Rif/de/about.html

Thanks for all theses information.

I'm testing it.

Hi Michael,

I had unexpected issues with 4.1.

I returned back to 4.0 and it is fine now except I have not the UV/Radiation in live, even if I add it in the skin.conf.

I will wait for your final 4.1.

I also translated the French language, I've attached it here.

Do you see any Errors in the log? Where and how did you configure the UV Chart?

What issues did you encounter with v4.1? It is very likely you encounter the sames issues in the final version, if you don't tell me the details :)

[michael.k...@gmx.at]

And thanks for your contributions, very appreciated!

[Yves Martin]

 I resent the lang (fr.conf) file with minors corrections.

Sorry for that ... this last one is better ;)

[Yves Martin]

I've reinstalled version 4.

UV Chart is installed in skin.conf, after "[LiveCharts]" at the end after the [[windDir]] ...

Yves

[Yves Martin]

with 4.1, some charts are not printed.

I've added mines : [radiation], [UV] and [rxCheckPercent] (for the quality signal between my station and the receiver here (from Davis Vantage))

Yves

[michael.k...@gmx.at]

Did you specify "live_chart_items" in the config, as described on the "about" page? If you add "radiation" and "rxCheckPercent" your weewx.conf for v4.1 should look like this:

[StdReport]
    [[Bootstrap]]
        ...
        [[[LiveCharts]]]
            live_chart_items = outTemp, barometer, rain, outHumidity, wind, windDir, radiation, rxCheckPercent # radiation is already preconfigured in skin.conf
            [[[[rxCheckPercent]]]]
                [[[[[rxCheckPercent]]]]]
                    payload_key = rxCheckPercent
                    showMaxMarkPoint = false
                    showMinMarkPoint = false
                    showAvgMarkLine = false
                    lineColor = '#b44242'
                    decimals = 0

You can test it here : https://ymartin.com/meteo/ and https://ymartin.com/meteo/en/ (english version)

[Yves Martin]

No I did not.

I do not understand why I have to add this here but I did.

I've restarted weewx without any change till now.

Yves

[michael.k...@gmx.at]

There is something messed up with the installation, I'd say. At least, there are some files missing on the web space. Did you install the skin using wee_extension --install 4.1.zip? Did you restart weewx then? What's with the logs? You didn't post any logs. 

Your archive_interval of 60 seconds is also "intense" and it makes the charts not render very nicely.

[Yves Martin]

... but I'm still using version 4 not 4.1 till it is unstable here.

I did the changes, no result for now.
I will wait for your 4.1 version ... Thanks.

[michael.k...@gmx.at]

Then: Did you install the skin using wee_extension --install 4.0.zip? Did you restart weewx then? What's with the logs? You didn't post any logs. 

[Yves Martin]

Hi,

Yes I use this (wee_extension --install 4.0.zip).

Yes I restarted weewx.

You chan check it here : YMartin.com/meteo (French and English)

Is there a specific log file for this installation? Where can I find it?

General question about the "livegauge" and the reports, how I change the "m/s" by "km/s" for the wind speed ?

I did it a long time ago, but now I use a multi-language version (French and English) and I'm a bit lost...

For the installation, there is a log, but I am asking for the log weewx writes every archive_interval. Mentioning the archive_interval again: consider increasing it. Rendering two or more skins will probably take longer than the archive_interval, from time to  time.

>  General question about the "livegauge" and the reports, how I change the "m/s" by "km/s" for the wind speed ?

Yes, it is also described in the about.html:

[StdReport]
    [[Bootstrap]]
       [[[Units]]]
           [[[[Groups]]]]
               group_speed = km_per_hourOr in
[StdReport]
    [[Defaults]]
        ... for all skins (due to a bug, this doesn't work with versions < 4.1). If you only do it in the skin's "fr" section, the other languages will still use the unit defined with the unit_system in each lang/xx.conf

[Yves Martin]

If works for ages ... what do you suggest?

Also "LiveGauge" (on my main page: YMartin.com/meteo) stop working at 12:06 today.

I cannot find any log about it ...

Let me know when you version 4.1 will be ready and I will try to reinstall it.

Yves

[michael.k...@gmx.at]

I'd suggest: find the log file weewx is writing to, and post the relevant contents. 

[Yves Martin]

Hi Michael,

This setting works for the unit in km/h for French language, except the limit for the gauge is not correct (max 30 km/h for speed and 50 km/h for gust). This is not enough. How to increase theses values (for French only)?

Yves,

YMartin.com/meteo

[michael.k...@gmx.at]

Override the gauges' max and splitNumber, in weewx,conf in the coresponding Section of the fr-skin:

[[[LiveGauges]]]
   
    [[[[windSpeed]]]]
        maxvalue = 100
        splitnumber = 5
        lineColorUntil = 75
   
    [[[[windGust]]]]
        maxvalue = 160
        splitnumber = 8
        lineColorUntil = 75

[Yves Martin]

You mean in the Bootstrap section (default is fr)?

I tried but I've lost my Live gauge and graphs.
