Weewx install for WeatherFlow on Rasp Pi how to config #25

Open duvalljm opened 1 year ago

duvalljm commented 1 year ago

Any help is greatly appreciated. I am quite new to raspberry pi (and GitHub) and I'm stuck. Have WeeWx installed and running on Raspberry Pi. Simulator page looks good. Ran this command: wee_extension --install weatherflow-udp-master.zip and all looks good to this point. I see my station name on browser page with simulator data. I don't see that the wee extension replaced the simulator. I have made several attempts to edit weewx.conf all resulting in a variety of errors/failure. What am I missing? Thanks

You need to run ./wee_config --reconfigure and then when it asks you which driver to use, select WeatherFlowUDP. Keep everything else the same unless you want to change it. You will also need to edit weewx.conf and add a section below the [WeatherFlowUDP] settings. Search this page for the parts that mentions [[sensor_map]] and copy it. In fact, read that whole page, it explains clearly how you need to use the unique identifiers from your sensor and put it into your sensor map. Also, beware of typos and indentation, if you do anything wrong the sensor map won't be loaded and then no data will be broadcasted.
