Data import from WDisplay

[Peter Schmelitschek]

I've finally got WeeWx working with a Davis Vantage Pro2 + WeeWx, Mosquitto and Traefik in separate VMs on Proxmox, uploading to my website with the Belchertown skins.

Now it's time to import 7 years of WDisplay data, after fully ditching Windows.

So far, I have copied the 'wd-import-text.conf' file I found in an older conversation in the Group (attached).

This file is located in the '/var/tmp/import-config' directory of my VM running WeeWx.

Starting with a random file for testing, I copied my first WDisplay 'log' file into the '/var/tmp/wdisplay' directory (attached).

Then used this command and received the response following:

~$ weectl import --import-config=/var/tmp/import-config/wd-import-test.conf --dry-run --suppress-warnings
Using configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf
This is a dry run. Nothing will actually be done.
Starting weectl import...
**** Unable to parse source-to-WeeWX field map.
**** No legacy mapping specified in '/var/tmp/import-config/wd-import-test.conf' for field 'dateTime'.
**** Nothing done, exiting

Can anyone shed light on the issue with the 'dateTime' item mentioned.

I saw that it appeared once, as a comment in the Config file, but couldn't see anywhere that it had to defined.

TIA

I managed to find elsewhere, an import configuration file suitable for Version 5.1

The one I was trying out was intended for WeeWx Version 4.x
