weewx-purple

I recently installed weewx-purple on weewx 5.3.1. Data is being pulled from the sensor since my graphs are updating. However I get lots of these errors, about every 2 minutes.

Apr 27 21:38:08 wxpi2 weewxd[5456]: ERROR user.purple: Could not get concentrations from any source.
Apr 27 21:40:13 wxpi2 weewxd[5456]: INFO user.purple: collect_data: Attempt to fetch from: 192.168.1.240 failed: HTTPConnectionPool(host='192.168.1.240', port=80): Read timed out. (read timeout=15).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

They are real errors, but not really a problem.  The data is populating because other reads are successful.  I believe the every two minutes coincides with the purpleair sensor uploading a to the purpleair servers.  You may or may not be able to get rid of these.  I see them on my purple air sensors.  What is your poll frequency?

I've got the default settings.

 poll_secs = 15

 timeout = 5

You are good.  You are getting 7 live readings every 2 minutes.

BTW, the “Could not get concentrations from any source.” Is worded that way because one can configure multiple sensors and the extension will poll the sensors in order until it polls successfully or it reaches the end of the list.  For cases where only one sensor is configured, it’s not an ideal message in the log as “from any source” is the only source.
