Weather Station website skin with Live Data for WeeWX. This version is compatible with WeeWX 4.x.x builds / Python 2.7 and Python 3.x. Please note, some functionality will be lost if you are not using WeeWX 4.1.1 and its default extended database. It is therefore strongly recommended that you start with an entirely new clean Python3 install of WeeWX 4.1.1.

Version W34-HC-IMJD-3.0.0

Packaged for installation using its own unique installer and an online pre-installation settings form https://steepleian.github.io/weewx-Weather34

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 WeeWX version of the template is actively developed by Ian Millard and Jerry Dietrich.

This version requires WeeWX version 4.1.1 or later software. WeeWX is available at https://weewx.com

This version is designed explicitly to harness the powerful WeeWX database to generate the weather data charts and statistical data. It was originally built on the current MB-UB40-IHVN which is now maintained by Lightmaster (Meteobridge-Weather34-Template). Although we maintain a similar look and feel with MB-UB40-IHVN, the weewx-Weather34 version now has many unique features.

This version is assembled as an install package and uses its own unique utility, w34_installer.py, 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.

Please Note. The appearance and features of this new version are identical to those of the previous version (W34-HC-IMJD-2.0.0). The new changes relate to moving some of the settings from the skin's PHP coding into its core Python Module, weather34.py. If your are currently using W34-HC-IMJD-2.0.0 and you are happy that you have a stable setup, it is not absolutely necessary to upgrade.

To improve efficiency and reliability the web services (forecasts and alerts etc) are now part of the weather34.py module coding and the settings for these have been moved from the template setup page to weewx.conf. This is also true for cloud coverage settings. To assist you we have created a new pre-install settings page at https://steepleian.github.io/weewx-Weather34/. When you have completed the settings form a file 'services.txt' is automatically downloaded to your default Download folder. This file should then be copied to your install folder prior to running the unique installer. When the install process is exectuted, the data contained in services.txt is used to populate weewx.conf

If you are upgrading from a previous version of this skin, due to the significant changes, you must recreate your settings!.php file by running the full install process. Just copying your previous settings1.php will cause errors which are then difficult to resolve.

Follow the instructions in the 'installation guide' (INSTALLATION_GUIDE.md) to install the template. Browse to https://your/path/to/weewx/weather34/easyW34skinSetup.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.
