Hi all
First post on this forum.. I've been reading it a lot but now time to start posting too
I've been monitoring the weather conditions for quite some time already. Back in 2012 I started with an Oregon WMR200s that was connected to a SheevaPlug running wview, uploading to my site and using the Saratoga templates to display.. It worked rather well but the sensors of the station started to break down (pluviometer already replaced twice, anemometer gripped, erratic signal).
Bottom line I deceided to buy a new station. I chose a Waldbeck Halley, a clone of the FineOffset WH2650. It did not need a console and this was a match.
Instead of wview, I went this time for weewx + GW1000 API + weewx-WD + Saratoga templates.
It is partly working but I found some strange things happening.
Initially I started weewx in simulator mode to check that everything was ok. Then I installed and enabled the GW1000 driver.
I ran the driver for a few hours and it was working fine. I remember seeing at that time the battery levels and -I think- the solar radiation too.
Once I was happy I thought I would purge the database to remove the initial simulator values (I didn't want those to appear in the history). To do that I simply removed all DBs and all generated files.
And here starts the issue I have now. Once weewx restarted the output would not look the same anymore. I don't see the sensor status tab nor the radiation graph.
I looked at the output of the driver and here it is:

I still continued setting everything up, playing with weewx-WD and Saratoga. Got it to work but some values were incorrect (looked like the parsing of the raw data was offset somehow). For example, the update date in the ajax part is displaying the cloud height and not the date. That might be because I set radiation to true (and there is no radiation being sent by teh WD plugin because of the above bug).
So anyone has an idea about what is happening?
I run firmware 1.6.3 on the WH2650, weewx version 4.4.0, GW1000 API version 0.2.0, weewx-wd version 2.1.2
Thanks!
BTW: I enabled debug and looked at the syslog. No error or anything looking suspicious there
