TE923

Some station models will recognize up to 5 remote temperature/humidity sensor units. Use the hardware switch in each sensor unit to identify sensors. Use the sensor_map in weewx.conf to associate each sensor with a database field.

The station has either 208 or 3442 history records, depending on the model. With an archive interval set to 5 minutes, that is just over a day (208 records) or about 23 days (3442 records).

The TE923 driver will read history records from the station when WeeWX starts up, but it does not support hardware record generation.

Configuring with weectl device

The TE923 can be configured with the utility weectl device.

Note

Make sure you stop weewxd before running weectl device.

--help

Invoking weectl device with the --help option

weectl device /home/weewx/weewx.conf --help

will produce something like this:

Using configuration file /home/weewx/weewx.conf
Using TE923 driver version 0.21 (weewx.drivers.te923)
Usage: weectl device [config_file] [options] [--debug] [--help]

Options:
-h, --help            show this help message and exit
--debug               display diagnostic information while running
-y                    answer yes to every prompt
--info                display weather station configuration
--current             get the current weather conditions
--history=N           display N history records
--history-since=N     display history records since N minutes ago
--minmax              display historical min/max data
--get-date            display station date
--set-date=YEAR,MONTH,DAY
set station date
--sync-date           set station date using system clock
--get-location-local  display local location and timezone
--set-location-local=CITY|USR,LONG_DEG,LONG_MIN,E|W,LAT_DEG,LAT_MIN,N|S,TZ,DST

--set-interval=INTERVAL
set archive interval (minutes)
--format=FORMAT       formats include: table, dict

Be sure to stop weewx first before using. Mutating actions will request
confirmation before proceeding.

--info

Use --info to display the station configuration:

weectl device --info

This will result in something like:

Querying the station for the configuration...

bat_2: True
bat_3: True
bat_4: True
bat_5: True

--current

Use --current to display the current status of each sensor:

weectl device --current

This will result in something like:

--set-interval

TE923 stations ship from the factory with an archive interval of 1 hour (3600 seconds). To change the station's interval to 5 minutes (300 seconds), do the following:

weectl device --set-interval=300

--history=N

Use the --history action to display records from the logger in tabular or dictionary format.

For example, to display the most recent 30 records in dictionary format:

weectl device --history=30 --format=dict

--clear-memory

Use --clear-memory to erase all records from the logger memory.
