Re: Ambient Weather WS-1000-WiFi

The entry you quoted has no rain in it. The rain rate will show when field 23 has a non-zero value, and the rain total will change when field 27 changes . // 0 - Record no 1, // 1 - Transfer date 2014-02-23 // 2 - Transfer time 20:41:02, // 3 - Reading date 2014-02-23 // 4 - Reading time 20:41:02, ...

I don't have that solar box (build 1088). It says 60.9 in your picture, which is actually the total rainfall for the year jan 01 -->

Re: Ambient Weather WS-1000-WiFi

That works fine for me: 2014-02-23 19_53_26-Cumulus.png I'm running Culumus in wine on Linux, but that shouldn't matter. I don't see any rain data. I've used the <#Light> tag and it doesn't show anything. How can i know if Culumus reads the easyweatherfile.dat correctly? The lux value is on field 2...

Even if the fields are not used they should be there, even if it's only a bunch of zeroes. Otherwise it's a completly new file format which should have a new name to avoid confusion i.m.o

Re: Ambient Weather WS-1000-WiFi

A number of people are creating their own easyweather.dat files and I don't recall anyone having any problems before. There's actually an example of an easyweatherplus.dat entry in the wiki. It's very hard to help when all you've done so far is complain. An example of the file you've created would ...

Re: Ambient Weather WS-1000-WiFi

Oh, i forgot. If comma is used between field 2(date) and field 3(time) and field 4(date) and field 5(time) it messes up the entire order of fields. I tried that. Then you get 1008 m/s wind speed etc. I have never seen an easy weather generated easyweather.dat file so i can't know for sure, but this ...

Re: Ambient Weather WS-1000-WiFi

There is a big problem with mixing separators on a single line.

lux=$(echo "easyweatherplus.dat" | cut -d ',' -f 29)

doesn't work, because field 2-5 is actually 2 & 3; so lux is at field 27.

How is a programmer going to know this? I'm not blaming you, i'm just saying.

Re: Ambient Weather WS-1000-WiFi

Sorry!

Your reply of a manually created easyweather.dat file was the closest thread i could find without creating my own thread.

Re: Ambient Weather WS-1000-WiFi

If it has the ability to upload to an ftp server of your choice, you could perhaps run a server locally, and write some code to convert the uploaded data into 'easyweather.dat' format, and feed it into Cumulus that way. That would definitely come under "where there's a will there's a way"...
