how to change log-interval to a WS-28xx

[jürgen wackelmann]

The While using method via "wee_device" the thing doesn't work:

root@me:/home/bernbisch# wee_device --set-interval=60

Using configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf
Using WS28xx driver version 0.51 (weewx.drivers.ws28xx)

This feature is not yet implemented

Will this "feature" be available in the future or, better, is there another way to set the loggin interval? When doing this with windows "HeavyWeather" it is ok but after starting the weewx-daemon the interval is newly set to 5min ...

Did you tried to change the "archive_interval" parameter in weewx.conf ?

[StdArchive]
    # If the station hardware supports data logging then the archive interval
    # will be downloaded from the station. Otherwise, specify it (in seconds).
    archive_interval = 60

[jürgen wackelmann]

Yes. But I take value 3600 because it is said  "specify it (in seconds)"

I like to have logging every one hour. There MUST be a valied parameter because

when using weewx the stored interval which was set before by using "HeavyWeather"

is changed to 5min.

?

That driver hasn't been updated substantially in over 5 years so I wouldn't expect an update to support this.   Why do you want to update less frequently ?

[jürgen wackelmann]

Hmm,

the WS-2816 has around 1800 records which is by an interval of 5min less then a week

datastorage.  For some reasons I'd like to make the update once a month. But all my

computer equipment is since 20 years under linux and it would be great to use the

weatherstation in that system. Also the appearance of the values in weewx is much more

better and flexible than via Heavyweather (which here runs in a virtual windows machine). I collected

weather for nearly 15 years with a WS-2300 and it is only a hobby for me. But

the windsensor get defect (only a little LED for the detection of wind direction, but

no one can tell me what type it is ...)((LaCrosse is really BAD in technical service!)) and I bought

the new WS-2800 for 99€ which I think is a good price for the value.

If someone here ist interested to solve the driver problem I will give all assiśtance needed.

I'm not familiar with python but some other programming knowlegde.
