rapidfire + rtfreq parametr for WU

[Enrico Re Cecconi]

Dears,

I'm a new user from Italy and very grateful for this beautiful software, i'ts a few days that I'm connected my weather station to weather underground website.

Currently I'm trying to modify some parameter to improve and customize the result.

My set-up is:

A meteo station Lacrosse 2350 (old model but new because never used)

Raspberry pi 3B+

Raspian Lite

connection between PWS and Raspberry is made through cable,

connection between Raspberry and internet is made through cable (yes, I hate Wi-Fi and wireless if possible...)

All works perfectly, till now, I just want to speed up the refresh frequency in WU page, that currently is 5'.

I tried to set the parameter rapidfire = true

and it seems it works, with a refresh of about 30''.

I don't want a so fast refresh, my idea is a time between 60 to 120'', so I tried to set the parameter

rtfreq = 60

but without any effect, the time period doesn't increases and frequency stays faster than my target.

My question are:

1) I'm wrong if I think rtfreq is the proper parameter ?

2) Why it's not present in the configuration file even if is mentioned in the help ?

3) What can I do or any suggestion to reach the desired target.

Here below a section of weewx.conf (now again = false).

Thank you all very much for your help.

Ciao

Enrico

Hi...

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks

The parameter rtfeq has a very arcane use. It determines how often the embedded Flash widget gets updated. It has nothing to do with the weather station. So, changing its value will not have any affect on how often your WU page gets updated.

For more information, see this post: https://github.com/weewx/weewx/issues/128#issuecomment-225394020

The WU Rapidfire update happens as often as your station emits a LOOP packet. For that, see the section on the WS23XX in the Hardware Guide. Unfortunately, they are all hardwired in your station and cannot be changed.
