Data Import

[Sebastian E]

Hi,

maybe someone can help me

I have installed weewx with the Belchertown skin. My weather station is currently sending the data to Wunderground and Awekas. At Wunderground I can fetch the data via API, unfortunately now every 5 minutes. At Awekas I also got an API, where I have 240 retrievals per minute. Unfortunately, it is not entirely clear to me how or whether it is even possible to adapt the import file. 

Maybe you still have an idea. 

Kind regards Sebastian

Hello Sebastian,

I presume you wish to use weectl import to import data from AWEKAS? weectl import does not support importing data from AWEKAS, adding AWEKAS support would involve writing a new module for weectl import to fetch the data from AWEKAS and parse/format the AWEKAS data into a format that weectl import can use. Not a difficult task, but will take time; unfortunately it is not high on my priority list at the moment.

If this is leading to using AWEKAS as a source to continuously populate WeeWX with data from an unsupported station I would suggest a far better approach would be to develop a WeeWX driver that polls AWEKAS for data. This would be much neater than using weectl import and would solve a number of issues that arise when using weectl import to continuously populate WeeWX.

And take in mind there is one record per hour in AWAKAS only.

Hi,
thank you very much for the answers. Unfortunately, my knowledge is not sufficient for programming.

Attached is something from the Awekas documentary.

Each station has a limit of 240 queries per hour and 2 queries per second.
