You should also set up rsyslog to put all the WeeWX logs in a dedicated file, this will help troubleshooting (trust me on this one).
#Weathercat startup install#
Post Install ConfigurationsĪfter validating everything is working, you need to verify that WeeWX is configured for running as a daemon at startup, setup the local web server (optional, but highly recommended). You now need to get a few house keeping bits in order. These are pretty straight forward and created your /etc/weewx/nf file. So if you follow the previous post, you installed the software on your Pi using apt-get. When installing you will be asked for your location (latitude and longitude), altitude (and units – feet or meters), what weather station hardware you are running, as well as specific parameters for your station hardware. I strongly recommend that you read (and re-read) the User’s Guide – it is well written and will help get you up and running quickly. In order to replicate the functionality I had with WeatherCat, I needed to (obviously) get things running with the base software, then look for a few extensions and write a few hacks. The solution has been working pretty flawlessly since then, but I haven’t had a lot of time to write the follow-up post about any customizations or configurations I made to make everything work the way I wanted. A couple of months back I posted about migrating my Davis Vantage Pro2 Weather Station from running WeatherCat software on a Mac Mini to WeeWX software on a Raspberry Pi.
