interceptWH2600 - WH2600 Weather Station Interceptor

[Doudy]

Hello,
I'm still here.
I tried to start interceptWH2600.py via the interceptWH2600.sh script.
The script works but interceptWH2600.py does not start.

It's a way of seeing things.
I would prefer live variations.

That can easily be done by modifying the script to suit your needs.

Hello!

I can't say because I don't see any error messages.

Try running the following from the command line:

Code: Select all

/home/pi/interceptWH2600/interceptWH2600.py -v -d

Does it generate any error messages?

[Doudy]

The messages is :

Code: Select all

-bash: /home/pi/interceptWH2600/interceptWH2600.py : /usr/bin/^M : mauvais interpréteur: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

in english :

Ok but how?

I assume that you have followed the installation instruction carefully and while doing that didn't receive any error messages
Do you have python installed?

I can't see how a very momentary wind direction is useful for Home Automation. Here, the wind direction will change from one second to another. Swinging in any direction +- 90 degrees is not uncommon. The script normally takes care using a function to calculate the wind vector from time series of wind
speeds and directions.

Anyway if you'd like to change it, edit the configuration file and set "windDirSmoothenizer" to false.

It is rather the speed in live that I want to display!

I do not see any change when displaying.

I don't know what's on display at the WU underground web site. You can have a look at the PWS Upload Protocol to get an idea about what data is getting sent.

If you'd like to update your Domoticz device with instantaneous wind data, locate the following code and remove all occurances of the text '_avg10m', so that winddir_avg10m becomes winddir etc. Make sure your substitution only affects the code shown below.

Code: Select all

	# Updating the 'Wind' device. No need to check the current value, it's likely to be different anyway
	elif domoDevice['categoryName'] == 'Wind' and domoDevice['domoticzSensorType'] == 86:
		# First build the data string
		dataString = str(jsonQs['winddir_avg10m'])
		dataString += ';' + str(degToCompass(jsonQs['winddir_avg10m']))
		dataString += ';' + str(round(ms(jsonQs['windspdmph_avg10m']) * 10 , 0))
		dataString += ';' + str(round(ms(jsonQs['windgustmph_10m']) * 10 , 0))
		dataString += ';' + str(round(temp_c(jsonQs['tempf']), 1))
		dataString += ';' + str(round(wind_chill(temp_c(jsonQs['tempf']), jsonQs['windspdmph_avg10m']), 1))
		if isDebug: print 'Wind data string: ', dataString # E.g. '4;N;30.0;44.0;-6.6;-14.3'
		if isVerbose: print 'Updating the Domoticz Wind device to', dataString
		payload = dict([('type', 'command'), ('param', 'udevice'), ('idx', domoDevice['domoticzIdx']), \
				('nvalue', 0), ('svalue', dataString)])
		r = domoticzAPI(payload)

You never answered me before when I asked you, I'm so curious to know how instantaneous wind data can be used for home automation. I mean, one second the wind comes from south with a speed of 3 m/s. Maybe 10 seconds after that the wind comes from west but 0.1 m/s and maybe another 10 seconds followed by wind from north east at the speed of 3 m/s. For me, that's all random data that says nothing really.

Good luck!

[Doudy]

Thank you for your help, I will test your suggestion.

For now I do not really use it to integrate Domoticz.

It's just to see the wind speed and its live direction. Like on the Wunderground website.

It works properly.
Display at the same speed as wunderground, even a little before.

Hello,
I'm still here.
About my post from 11/11/2017.
I tried to start interceptWH2600.py via the interceptWH2600.sh script.
The script works but interceptWH2600.py does not start.
When i start the service manualy :

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/interceptWH2600.sh start

I have the following message :

Code: Select all

[ ok ] Starting system interceptWH2600 daemon:.

But, interceptWH2600.py don't working
I have no update at wunderground and domoticz
But, when i strat following :

Code: Select all

sudo python /home/pi/interceptWH2600/interceptWH2600.py

Updates are working normally !

Code: Select all

WU message :

You mentioned the following in an earlier post

Remark

in wiki there is

sudo update-rc.d /etc/init.d/interceptWH2600.sh defaults

il is

Code: Select all

sudo update-rc.d interceptWH2600.sh defaults

That seems to be correct and the Wiki has been updated. Strange that no one else noticed that. Thanks for letting me know.

I will investigate further.

Hmm... there seems to be ^M characters in the python script. But how did they get there in such case?

Might it be so that you have altered the python script file using a MSDOS/Windows editor? That will destroy the script file.

Download a new python script file by doing an upgrade.

After that do not open the file again with a MSDOS/Windows editor. And if You do that accidentally, don't save the file.
