Weather Station

Interact with the weather station.

Overview

pocs weather offers some basic commands for interacting with the running weather station service.

Commands

status

Get the most recent weather reading.

(conda-pocs)  panoptes@panoptes  pocs weather status

restart

Restart the weather (supervisorctrl) service. Use if getting errors with the other commands.

(conda-pocs)  panoptes@panoptes  pocs weather restart

Configuration

The configuration will depend exactly on how you set up the Weather Stationhardware but the config key is in environment.weather either way. For a remote weather station you will have a url (i.e. environment.weather.url) and for a locally attached weather station a serial port (i.e. environment.weather.serial_port).

See the weather station config variables at aag-weather documentation for details about setting the safety thresholds and heater settings.
