Weather Station website skin with Live Data for WeeWX. This version is compatible with WeeWX 3.9.2 / Python 2.7 and WeeWX 4.0.0 builds / Python 2.7 and Python 3.7.
Version WX-HC20-IHVN-1.0.0
Packaged for installation using its own unique installer.
This repository contains the WeeWX version of Brian Underdown's Weather34 website template set. Brian's main website is https://weather34.com/homeweatherstation/index.html In January, 2019, Brian asked others to take over the distribution/maintainence of his design whilst he concentrated on development only for MB NanoSD, called Weather34 MB-SMART.
This version requires WeeWX version 3.9.2 or later software. WeeWX is available at http://weewx.com
This version is designed explicitly to harness the powerful WeeWX database to generate the weather data charts and statistical data. It is built on the current MB-UB40-IHVN which is now maintained by Lightmaster (Meteobridge-Weather34-Template). A key metric for this project is to maintain design, functional and performance parity with the MB-UB40 parent.
This version is assembled as an install package and uses the WeeWX utility wee_extension to install. This greatly simplifies the installation process from that of previous versions. Depending on your own WeeWX setup, minor edits may be required to be made to weewx.conf and Weather34 skin.conf files. Please see the Weather34 skin Installation Guide for detailed instructions.
-
Change to Highcharts from CanvasJS. The change to Highcharts brings powerful new features to the charts including faster rendering, click-through to different time frames, real time updating, wind rose and much more.
-

Follow the instructions in the 'installation guide' (INSTALLATION_GUIDE.md) to install the template. Browse to http://your/path/to/weewx/weather34/easywxsetup.php There is no initial password when the page prompts the first time -- just press LOGIN to enter the page. IMPORTANT set a password in the screen for future use -- your browser can remember it. This will make future updates reasonably secure so only you can do the updates to the configuration. Make setting entries in the easyweathersetup.php page and SAVE. The next time you run it, use the password you set in the step above. Repeat running easyW34skinSetup.php until the main screen appears as you like it.
A new utility diags.php was added to the distribution. It is useful for checking the installation of the WX-HWS template and showing (safely) the current settings.php/settings1.php file contents for debugging. Note: the entries for $password, $db_user, $db_pass are replaced with '********' to avoid unwanted disclosure of private information.
run diags.php?show=info on your website to show the key info about the WX-HWS installation and required PHP function status
run diags.php?show=settings on your website to safely show the current settings.php and settings1.php contents
