Thanks Brian, I will grab that in the morning
PS, what's the best way to upgrade?

go grab a can of John Smiths ,download zip(only 3.42mb) , unzip to your desktop, delete existing files from server, upload new files to server , pour your John Smiths into a pint a glass sit back take sip of the foam if your poured it right ! (at an angle) and haaaaaa just go through the easysetup and job done . now sit back in the armchair and enjoy your pint of bitter...

in all seriousness i always say as it is such a small download do a full upgrade its takes less than 5 minutes unless you have made some personal changes directly to the code .
when there is a change to the easyweathersetup then be safe and do a full upgrade. there are times when you can just replace a file and the css files. i try to mention that in the description when possible. if it was a 30mb or more download each time i would work out a upgrade path.

...enjoy your beer i really miss real local bitter especially when i lived in Matlock for 6 years ,turkish beer is naff and imported beer(London Pride) is like 10 pound a can !

have a nice weekend..brian

Anyhoo, update done, enjoy ya weekend

I'm using the the clientrawextra.txt file and the max solar is missing from the sunshine block across the top.  The clientrawextra.txt file (http://www.harpersferry-weather.com/clientrawextra.txt) does have the max solar in it.

ok i crossed checked elsewhere couldnt see the issue everyone else is showing fine with [819] so i then pasted in your clientrawextra into my dummy file and from your output you need to change the line shown below,dont ask me why i dont use WD..

[819] to [817]

in livedataclientrawx.php

$weather["maxsolar"]           = number_format($clientrawextra[819],0 ,'','');

to   

$weather["maxsolar"]           = number_format($clientrawextra[817],0 ,'','');

[04-Jun-2017 16:19:51 Europe/London] PHP Warning:  Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/myaccount/public_html/pwsV34WFnewer/forecast/hour.php on line 44

[weather34]

Thought you was away, shouldnt be working, but thank you, just to let you know that if i
just update hour.php forecast is back working again and so is the station outlook, if i update
the whole forecast folder again, the forecast works great but the station outlook disappears...

oh, just noticed, at 5:40am i am pulling in UV 6 lol should be 0, not sure where its finding 6
is that for Istanbul? normally a 6 at midday for this time of year here

Also, when the station puts out a long outlook, it looks like the image included below
Perhaps have it use more of the block?

No rush, its all working, i just updated the hour.php, talk when ya back on dry land

[Bashy]

mmm, tried my self, set it to 300 but that was still losing some off the edge of the block
So, set it to 350 and font at 11, that was better but, still losing some off the edge, see image

PS, the above made possible by you, by adding the css at the end 

[Bashy]

Got your email, and it was better than my effort, thank you, working well now

[Bashy]

Just noticed this about the conditions (image attached) no rush, rain will finish soon anyway

[weather34]

quietly since end of last month a few have been ironing a few teething issues , i would like to thank all those for your continuous email input and patience .since July 1st a new version has been available but took the time to hold back on announcing it in the popular forums apart from the cumulus forum.

the changes are not major or significant that it changes anything in the way it works , just attention to user experience and cater for the casual user without creating a design that looks likes the weather on steroids . so enjoy the update and as always if your happy with your current setup there is no need to update.

Good morning everyone,

This is an open question to anyone who maybe using weewx in conjunction with the HomeWeatherstation template. I am interested to know if you are either using weewx extensions to generate realtime.txt or clientraw.txt files or using an alternative method.

Thank you in advance.

I've added the dates from 2017 to 2020 will add more over time

Hi

Can I in any way avoid using WU? I have read that it will be possible to use MySql instead, but can not see how I install it. Only WS1001 is mentioned.

Can I use other forecasts than WU and how do I install it?

I use clientraw with Davis Vantage Pro2

Thanks
gand

[weather34]

hello

sure if you have the knowledge of setting up mysql then its relatively easy to do .

one advantage of using the direct ws1001 api method .every time the updateweatherstation.php is triggered as in my setup every 16 seconds it inserts the data to a mysql and at the end of every day 23:59 i append the data to monthly csv and yearly csv then empty the database automatically and starts a new day at midnight. this all automated without any third party software or cron job. it uses a simple built in script that triggers at 23:59 each day . in use at https://weather34.com

example of simple emptying at 23:59

<?php
if (date('Hms')>=235939){
//empty today values for homeweather station
$conn = mysqli_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pass,$db_name);
mysqli_query($conn,"TRUNCATE weatherstation");}
?>
   
if you are using the meteobridge api method then this will be available sometime in september  with additional code added to the mb.php api file to insert and create data into a mysql..db

the aim is to have everything automated unfortunately this template only supports api methods with ws1001 and meteobridge . there is no support for weather display or cumulus methods . however there are some that have put together there own methods to use mysql instead wu data.


for forecast in the past i have tried alternatives like darksky , accuweather , weatheronline the responses were very mixed from various locations around the world they seem to use airport data which was not much use for anyone living some distance from there nearest airport. so I went with the original idea of using WU unfortunately what works for one doesn't always work for others just the unfortunate .

there are alternatives already in use many have implemented WXSIM forecasts but these again are done by the user themselves so you need a bit knowledge of putting code together .

probably not what you wanted to hear but it is what it is for now and unlikely to see any different methods apart from reaping the benefits of using the meteobrodge api method.

i do have alternatives forecast files for darksky,accuweather you are free to try if so drop me an email and i will forward them on after the 22nd July as I no files with me at present ..
