FAQ

Q: "WeeWX uptime" and "Server uptime" are showing as $station.uptime.long_form and $station.os_uptime.long_form

A: You are using a WeeWX version prior to V4.10. There are two options: Update WeeWX to the latest version or change $station.uptime.long_form and $station.os_uptime.long_form to $station.uptime and $station.os_uptime in includes/footer.inc. For more information please have a look at the WeeWX Upgrade guide.


Q: The graphs are showing very odd lines

A: This is likely because your data is not continuous. For example, if using a weewx test system which is only occasionally started with the simulator driver. This results in "holes in the data". The default curve type natural interpolates this in some "special way". This problem should be solved once your station gathers data continuously. Another way to change this is by changing the curve of the chart, see https://github.com/Daveiano/weewx-wdc/wiki/Configuration#diagrams

For more info about this, see here https://github.com/Daveiano/weewx-wdc/issues/41


Q: The labels of the combined diagrams "Temperature / Dewpoint" or "Windchill / Heatindex" are not translated.

A: The labels of combined diagrams are set static in the skin.conf. If you want these to be translated, you need to update the skin.conf, see https://github.com/Daveiano/weewx-wdc/wiki/Configuration#combined-diagrams.


Q: Iam using pressure with inHg units and the diagram looks like a straight line

A: You need to change the default yScaleOffset for the pressure (observations pressure, barometer, altimeter) in the skin.conf. Something like 0.1 should be a good value for that:

[[[pressure]]]
   yScaleOffset = 0.1
[[[barometer]]]
   yScaleOffset = 0.1
[[[altimeter]]]
   yScaleOffset = 0.1
