Description

This program will import data from Davis WeatherLink into the weewx database. The data is retrieved using the v2 api from WeatherLink. More information on the WeatherLink Developer Portal.

A cvs file is created and that file is automatically imported using wee_import. Using wee_import will assure no double records are added in the database and al the conversions are made and all the daily summaries are calculated.

Usage

• First enter weewx directory in the in davis-csv.conf.
• Next copy the API Key v2 details from https://www.weatherlink.com/account
• If only one station is registerd the station_id is not needed. If there are more stations the program will show all the stations associated to the api details.

[weatherlink]
    # weewx directory
    WEEWX_ROOT = /home/weewx
    
    # Copy the API Key v2 and API Secrect from WeatherLink: https://www.weatherlink.com/account
    API_KEY = v2_api_key
    API_SECRET = v2_api_secret
    
    # Only Needed with multiple Stations
    # If you have multiple stations fill in the ID of the required station
    # The program will give all the Station associated with the given API Key
    station_id = default

UV and Solar data

If the data has no UV and Solar data set the folowing stanza to false

    UV_sensor = False
    solar_sensor = False

Starting the import

There is no limit of the amount of data that is imported, however take the following warning from weewx into considerations:

Warning! Running WeeWX during a wee_import session can lead to abnormal termination of the import. If WeeWX must remain running (e.g., so that live data is not lost) run the wee_import session on another machine or to a second database and merge the in-use and second database once the import is complete.

To import a single day use

weewx_weatherlink --date=YYYY-mm-dd

Or importing a range

weewx_weatherlink --startdate=YYYY-MM-DD[THH:MM] --enddate=YYYY-MM-DD[THH:MM]
