# 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 Station](/build/hardware/weather-station.md)hardware 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](https://github.com/panoptes/aag-weather) documentation for details about setting the safety thresholds and heater settings. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
