weewx-wns

wns - weewx extension that sends data to Wetternetz-Sachsen

Distributed under the terms of the GNU Public License (GPLv3)

Prerequisites

You will need an account at Wetternetz-Sachsen

http://www.wetternetz-sachsen.de

Installation instructions:

  1. download

    wget -O weewx-wns.zip https://github.com/roe-dl/weewx-wns/archive/master.zip

  2. run the installer

    WeeWX up to version 4.X

    sudo wee_extension --install weewx-wns.zip

    WeeWX from version 5.0 on after WeeWX packet installation

    sudo weectl extension install weewx-wns.zip

    WeeWX from version 5.0 on after WeeWX pip installation into an virtual environment

    source ~/weewx-venv/bin/activate
weectl extension install weewx-wns.zip

  3. enter parameters in the weewx configuration file

    [StdRESTful]
    [[Wns]]
        enable = true
        station = station ID
        api_key = WNS-Kennung
        T5AKT_ = observation type that holds 5cm-temperature
        SOD1D_ = observation type that holfs sunshine duration
        skip_upload = false
        log_url = false

  4. restart weewx

    for SysVinit systems:

    sudo /etc/init.d/weewx stop
sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start

    for systemd systems:

    sudo systemctl stop weewx
sudo systemctl start weewx

Configuration instructions:

  • Station ID and WNS-Kennung are mandatory. You get them from the Wetternetz Sachsen administrator.

  • Set T5AKT_ = None if you do not measure 5cm temperature. Otherwise give the WeeWX observation type you use for that value.

  • Set SOD1D_ to the observation type of sun duration. If you do not have such an observation type set it to None.

  • Set TSOI10, TSOI20, and TSOI50 to the appropriate WeeWX observation types if you measure soil temperatures. The number is the depth in cm.

  • Set skip_upload to true to do all the calculation and preparation without doing the real upload. This is for testing. Set log_url=true to see what would be uploaded.

  • Set log_url to true to log the URL sent to Wetternetz Sachsen to syslog. This is for trouble shooting.
