I got an email from another weewx-netatmo user Patrick yesterday, in which he asked if
|
|
|
|
|
my WeeWX installation was still running, because we use the same extension to fetch the
|
|
|
|
|
weather data from the netatmo servers (this method `cloud` is already rediculous, but it
|
|
|
|
|
works with that hardware, so yes...).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After looking on my servers logfiles I could confirm the extension wasn't working as
|
|
|
|
|
expected any more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today [I found an actual fork of the fork of the original extension][forked]:

|
|
|
|
|
|
## And this is how I upgraded the netatmo weewx extension
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Uninstall the old extension:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
|
|
|
$ doas -u weewx /home/weewx/bin/wee_extension --uninstall netatmo
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Download and install the new extension:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
|
|
|
$ doas -u weewx wget -O weewx-netatmo.zip https://github.com/Buco7854/weewx-netatmo/archive/master.zip
|
|
|
|
|
$ doas -u weewx /home/weewx/bin/wee_extension --install weewx-netatmo.zip
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Go to <https://dev.netatmo.com/apps/> and update your app to include a `refresh_token`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Update the configuration with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
|
|
|
$ doas -u weewx /home/weewx/bin/wee_config --reconfigure
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That should already ask for your refresh_token. Double check this in your `weewx.conf`
|
|
|
|
|
configuration file, as it might not get written properly (like in my case).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The configuration should look like this now:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
|
|
|
[netatmo]
|
|
|
|
|
client_id = ************************
|
|
|
|
|
client_secret = ***************************
|
|
|
|
|
refresh_token = ************************|********************************
|
|
|
|
|
driver = user.netatmo
|
|
|
|
|
mode = cloud
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I removed the username and password variables but added the `refresh_token` manually
|
|
|
|
|
because the configuration was not properly written by `wee_config --reconfigure`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A restart of WeeWX should fetch the data again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
|
|
|
$ doas rcctl restart weewx
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
