windGust?

[Patrick Sifford]

So I have a Acurite Atlas connected through RTL-SDR to my raspberry pi 4 running WEEWX 5.4.0.  I also have a connection established to my Hubitat.  While all of that is working and working really nicely.   I have also added a pressure sensor to my Raspberry and that is working .

I have noticed on my WEEWX Seasons skin that it is calculation Wind Gust...  (the Atlas does not provide this information).  This was apparent to me cause the 

While it was showing this it was not publishing the value to the current conditions section of the page.   So i added "windGust" to the list of values for the page and it has now started publishing it there!!!!!    so far Great.

Now I decided that it would be nice to send the data to Hubitat via the hubitat.py... (

the appropriate line was already there (from the original coder):

class HubitatThread(weewx.restx.RESTThread):
    _FORMATS = {
        'outTemp': ('temperature', '%.1f'),
        'outHumidity': ('humidity', '%.0f'),

        'windSpeed': ('windSpeed', '%03.1f'),
        'windDir': ('windDirection', '%03.0f'),
        'windGust': ('windGustSpeed', '%03.1f'),
        'windGustDir': ('windGustDirection', '%03.0f'),

however, the value is not being published and appears to be NULL ( i have done some debugging...

1) in [corrections]  I add code to see if windGust was available in locals()  to set windGusts to 0 else send it to 20 and have hubitat.py send windGusts...   I got the value 0 sent through

2) i set the value windGusts to 20 and sent it through.

it appears that there is a calculated value that WEEWX has that I would like to get access to...    any thoughts?

thanks
