Weather34 Aurora Version(english supported only)

[garybridge]

Just wanted to say Brian,
I really didn't think you could improve this anymore, but you have proved me wrong...again.
Thanks again

Gary

Good morning . thank you however without Boris and the software wouldn't have anything to reliably design around . So credit due to Boris .

Brian, apologies for the bad news.

The MK2 update for the modified API (17th & 18th updates) has regressed the fix you put in for the todayxxxxxmodulechart2.php chart scripts. (NaN is back again). This affects all "today" charts.

Regards

good evening

i just checked the update file and run it locally for the 18th and I dont see that issue ,i checked a few others and not seeing it .no explanation i can give other than try running the update again to see if resolves ? a guess it could be one of those mysterious rogue updates slipped in between .really dont know sorry ..

[jasonmfarrow]

Update of the 19th has fixed it.

good morning reaching out to anyone in the USA .

unfortunately my solar sensor has a cracked diffuser, caused by local crows constantly pecking at with there beaks , sounds bizarre but over the last few months ive noticed them perched around it and constantly pecking at either the uv sensor or the solar sensor , on inspection this morning i see it is now completely cracked and chipped ! whilst is still works its only a matter of time before condensation or water intake will damage the internals .

so my usual uk source is out of stock and I need to find a way to order one from the USA most wont ship to turkey or have the option.
So reaching out here if any USA user would order one sent to there home and then send it on to me . I will cover all shipping costs and resolve import duty my end . If you can help contact me and only if you accept International bank transfers , i will simply transfer the money prior to you placing order. only inconvenience is that you would need to arrange shipment here to turkey via UPS , DHL please do not use USPS they are pretty dismal in international deliveries due to pandemic, i have a one of these sitting in miami florida since december https://www.iqair.com/us/air-quality-mo ... visual-pro it was shipped by USPS and hasnt moved for weeks . So i got refund finally last night..



also has anyone experience of using scientific sales as I would like to have this ordered https://www.scientificsales.com/6450-So ... p/6450.htm

anyway thanks in advance if anyone can help if not just have to source it somewhere else in europe..brian

Please disregard its now been sorted and on its way..

Hi Brian,

@WessexWeather from Twitter here! Just read all 28 pages of this topic (I’m one of those that reads user manuals from start to finish! ) and I must say your work, and desire for perfection, is outstanding!

I’ve been using the Lightmaster MySQL version but yesterday ditched that in favour of Aurora II. Link here: -

https://wessexweather.net/weather34/index.php

The data displayed is from my Davis Vantage Vue with UV and solar mapped from my WeatherFlow Tempest, which is my secondary station (#1) in Meteobridge.

As per our brief Twitter conversation, is there any way to produce a SECOND Aurora II installation that shows data ONLY from station #1 in Meteobridge? I do not want to map all the sensors as my Davis kit is the most accurate.

[WessexWeather]

Oh, and there’s one tiny little typo in the Almanac screen. When you mouse over the moon icon at the bottom, it reads “Luna Info” rather than “Lunar Info”.

Regards,

[weatherist34]

drop me an email ill show you how to do it reliably and smartly , i dont want to publish this method as it is can be prone to user error and im not in a position to sit here and support it for the masses, but if im thinking right or understanding you want to run the weatherflow in a separate API into a seperate template install.

however please wait until next week Im quite happy to be on hand though understand the time difference of 3 hours i tend be on hand most mornings , not evenings im a productive early bird that cant get beyond 10pm ..comes with age..either way have a bit patience and it will all work it out , some things are easier for me to just do than explain..

the perfection comes from having built up a collaboration of users who constructively forward ideas and observe anomalies, i just make it look pretty.

[WessexWeather]

No problem Brian, I’ll email you next week, and yes you have understood my request correctly.

Many thanks,

[weatherist34]

ok if you mapped the uv sensor as well change the last 9th module to weather34-uvi that displays uv and solar you current pickk only displays solar that was purely built to cater for those who only have a davis solar sensor. ps i was born in dorset though we moved when i was 1 year old to kent ... i will correct lunar phrase next update..many thanks ..brian

ha having really just digested what your asking is a lot of rework of code here is why .

the API delivers 196 different values based on the primary sensors or additional being assigned to primary.
now im assuming you have one meteobridge device that is now configured for vantage vue and a weatherflow with assigned sensors .
the weather34 API is compiled only to read primary or assigned to primary. in your case you have vantage vue with temp,wind,rain,pressure etc as primary and weatherflow is a second station , this is where it gets ugly trying to run both stations into a template designed for davis only , your weatherflow temp,wind,pressure,rain will not be primary so the template will still be pulling the vantage primary sensors .

in all honesty its a rework of code for the custom api 196 values to be redone seperate to recognised the non primary second station data. sorry to dissapoint but its a lot of work , not a case of you cant or it cant be done just it a complete rewrite not only api but in charts,almanac and so on.

now the simplest way is to have a second meteobridge like a low cost tplink device and completely run independently of your vantage but i hear you that costs money but i dont have the enthusiasm to do this has a one off .

template was never designed for this scenario it is designed with use of primary assigned sensors.

so i think as per twitter stick to wims version if it works for you.

think if you digest the API you will see that 99% of the API does not cater for assigned second station sensors only when its assigned to has primary
have a look https://weather34.com/homeweatherstatio ... 4-api.html

edit some sort of explanation

example of temperature sensor [th0temp-act:--] which is the primary sensor in your case VUE
for the second station Weatherflow temperature would require a different string [th0!0temp-act:--] I hope that explains just how much needs to be recoded for each value . .

[weatherist34]

21st Simple update ..minor corrections and adjustments .

* Correct Lunar phrase ref @wessexweather (2:06pm).
* Increase relatives indicator bars by 1px (2:06pm).
* Fix WF(inc..Chuck module)lightning indicators colors (2:06pm).
* Fix VOC(Purple Air) indicator colors + phrases(2:06pm).

Brian, I understand and it’s absolutely fine. I would never expect you to rework the whole template for one user request! Wim’s PWS_Dashboard works fine and looks good, so I will stick with that for my WeatherFlow data, and weather34 for my Davis Data.

I suppose another solution would be if Boris allowed for a separate set of ‘primary’ data and ‘Weather Network’ for each station in Meteobridge, but that would mean a lot of work on his part no doubt, and the devices may not be up to that.

I just edited my post but I think this gives you some idea

edit some sort of explanation

"example of temperature sensor [th0temp-act:--] which is the primary sensor in your case VUE
for the second station Weatherflow temperature would require a different string [th0!0temp-act:--] I hope that explains just how much needs to be recoded for each value . ."

but hey if I was in UK I would quite happily give you a TP link(pop it in a Jiffy bag) I have so many lying in the draw unused all loaded up with meteobridge software, I used to run my Weatherflow stuff separately to my Davis for a couple of years but sadly Weatherflow stuff just didn't last and I was never confident in using it as a replacement for Davis but lets not get involved in the reasons why .

sorry I couldn't help..Brian
