On the Custom Graph:

1> The ability to tie two scales together, such as when tracking two temperatures, two humidities, etc...
2> In a scrolling graph, the ability to make one of the 3 series track 24 hours old, or track same date last year or just be able to track on an overlay of that period chart.
3> Mouse over live area of chart and on mouse down, display series value & time stamp at mouse position horizontal axis, perhaps with a vertical line as reference.
4> Option of a calculated display series, such as outside temp - inside temp = Temp diff as graph.

A separate box for putting custom tags in so I can see max temp, min temp and other things. Perhaps I am odd (actually I know I am odd), but it would make life a little easier for recording the data into my weather data base which I do, sorry, manually. There, I said it, I admit to having manual instruments too!.

Best wishes

I am a very new user of WeatherCat and took time to discover many possibilities of this "super" software.
So it's possible my wish hereunder already exists in WeatherCat, if so please forget it...
As I use WeatherCat with a VP2 station I would appreciate to receive the "Hi Temp" and "Low Temp" in addition to "Temp Out".
This is because sometimes (often ?) minimum and/or max values are reached between two saved data.
As "Hi Temp" and "Low Temp" are data provided by VP2 it would be great to have them "readable" with WeatherCat.
Do you think this could be done ?
Thanks in advance.

Title: High and low temp accessed - where? (Re: Want To See In A Mac Weather Program?)

Dear Pascal and WeatherCat fans,

Do you think this could be done ?
Pascal

You'll probably need to exchange some emails with the developer of WeatherCat, Stuart Ball.  However, perhaps I can facilitate the conversation a little bit.

The high and low temperature data is available within WeatherCat in a number of ways.  For example you can display it on a web page using the $STATS tag.  Can you tell us where you want to "read" the high and low temperature data?

Please to help us understand your request.

Cheers, Edouard  [cheers1]

I have a feeling I'm not 100% sure I'm understanding what it is you're after ;)

Another way, apart from what Edouard has already explained, is to open the "WeatherCat Controller" from the "Tools" menu in WeatherCat, this will display today's High, low and Average temperatures as well as most other data you are likely ever to need. But I thought this was open by default in WC, so perhaps tho sin't what you are after.

Hi Pascal,
Welcome to the forum. In addition to the above, you can see hourly highs/lows in the Statistics window (Tools->Statistics then select the Daily tab) and plot hourly highs/lows/averages with custom graphs (which you can use on your web-site). If you're afraid WeatherCat will miss a high temperature, check you have Adaptive Sampling enabled in the Misc 2 preferences - this causes WeatherCat to watch the weather and record when it changes.

Hope this helps,
Stu.
Title: Re: What Do You Want To See In A Mac Weather Program?
Post by: plr78 on June 19, 2012, 08:34:37 PM
Thank you for all your your feedbacks... I try to explain better with an example.

Let's consider the following case where daily minimum temperature is -12,3?C stored at 07:39 between two storages : -11,9?C at 7:30 and -12,1?C at 7:45 (15 minutes data logger interval).
In this case my experience is that WeatherCat will give as minimum temperature the value -12,1?C instead of -12,3?C.
This is because the -12,3?C value is not in the WeatherCat data base.

In the case of WheatherLink software (I would like to stop to use it) associated with my VantagePro2 station the minimum value can be calculated correctly (-12,3?C) because each data logger interval the minimum temperature (since the previous storage) is stored in addition to the instantaneous temperature.
In my example the values obtained with WeatherLink are :
07:30 ==> TempOut=-11.9 ; LowTemp=-11.9 ; HiTemp= -11.5
07:45 ==> TempOut=-12.1 ; LowTemp=-12.3 ; HiTemp= -11.9

To summarize, WheatherLink can do it simply because the two additional parameters LowTemp and HiTemp do exist in the VP2 data logger.
So if WheatherLink can get these additional parameters (LowTemp and HiTemp), WheatherCat should be able to do it.

As a brief conclusion I am sure that what WheatherLink can do WheatherCat can also do it, don't you think so ?

I addition I would say that this possibility is particularly interesting in the case you need to increase the data logger interval (say 1 hour for example) and WheatherCat disconnected (e.g. when you are not at home for a long time).

I hope my explanation is clear enough.

Thank's in advance for your help !

Pascal

Post by: WCDev on June 19, 2012, 09:38:35 PM
Hi Pascal,
I think I see what your saying - when WeatherCat downloads the data from the logger it is taking the temperature at the time of the record? When running live, it is seeing the temperature every 2 seconds and will log when it changes (assuming adaptive sampling is on).

Cheers,
Stu.

I am currently working on integrating these for use with WC but it is a bit of a slow process. So far I have "most" of the gauges working but the tool tips (i.e. popup graphs) will come later on when I can confirm the gauges all work as they should.

You can see the beta of the integration at http://weather.kcsolutions.com.au/gauges-ssT.html but keep in mind that there is still quite a way to go yet and the majority of links on the page do not work yet as I am concentrating on the gauges.

Post by: elagache on January 18, 2013, 12:30:10 AM
Hi Chet and WeatherCat fans,  [cat]

I would like to see weathercat linked to Lion's notification center.

If you are up to a little do-it-yourself, I have written some AppleScripts that provide Growl Notifications from WeatherCat.  You can learn more about them here:

http://athena.trixology.com/index.php?topic=231.0 (http://athena.trixology.com/index.php?topic=231.0)

My understanding is that you can now route all Growl notifications to the OS-X Notification center, so that would be an indirect way to get what you've asked for.  Unfortunately some software that I really, really depend on won't run on Lion or Mountain Lion, so for the moment I've stuck running Snow Leopard and cannot verify this for myself.

Hi
I am a new french user and starts apreciate Weathercat and I already asked a lot of stupid questions on this forum :)

i've try WD for mac (so lot of bugs) so i prefer to speak about weathercat

is it possible to have tables of statistics todays / yesterday, month / year; records, monthly record  more actractifs  like http://weather.wilmslowastro.com/monthlyrecord.htm
directly transferable via ftp from "WCWeb" ?

I will like to have the real time with weathercat gauges (watch_weather.php) like weathercat client

and the ability to retrieve records from another software, in my case archives since 2006

and in the future be able to configure and create web pages via weathercat to have a beautiful website for non-professional php, html ..... like me  ::)

for the moment :I think I know use : tags , stellserie gauges , real time with weathercat  (I will like to have the real time with weathercat gauges ) weathercatclient

thank you again for this very good aplication for mac and excuse me for my bad english

Here's a short list:
1) Shorter intervals between logging of samples, especially for those channels with high update rates, i.e. wind, temperature, rain. This may require separate log files.
2) Additional channels and intervals for custom charts, especially monthly and yearly statistics.
3) Ability to control the precision of statistics, e.g. allowing all averages to be formatted to four decimal places, etc.
4) Statistics from the weather station itself (or sensors), e.g. Vantage data logger interval, battery status, console voltage, etc.
5) Automatic membership into the WIKI upon registration in the Forum, i.e. enable the transfer of knowledge to the WIKI

How about daily, weekly, monthly and yearly rain totals.

You already capture the daily.  Use a spreadsheet and just do some math.

Use the blue display board to show in one line DT ( daily total, WT ( weekly total ) reset those at those at the effective end of the time period.  MT ( monthly total ) which could be stored as a drop down for precious information, and YT ( yearly ) which adds MT for a total only field.

With some luxury features like this it would be even better: http://saratoga-weather.org/scripts-NOAAtxt.php#NOAAtxtPHP   :)

And yes, I know WC has reporting capabilities and generates PDF's but it's not really the same. NOAA reports are the reason I boot up Weatherlink every couple of weeks, and I would be willing to pay for a WC upgrade which offers this...

I set up a wireless VP2 at work (Mac USB) with WeatherTracker which works well and has a good interface, but Dean has never written software for the really old systems, while Brian (Weather-Display) has been prolific in his support of stations, which is why I'm running W-D on my old Davis GroWeather.  As for Serial/USB, there's nothing wrong with using that type of adapter as long as Triplite's Mac drivers continue to work in future versions of OSX - but thanks for mentioning it.  Yes, I've looked at the possibility of upgrading to a VP2, but my location would result in degraded accuracy for wind, making the change not worth the investment.

Thanks!  My experience with weather software is that they query for the model and if they don't find a supported one they stop right there.  Of course it's possible that WeatherCat only goes by the operator input for what station is attached - I don't know.

I thought Dean Davis had pulled the plug on AfterTen Software. Good to hear I was mistaken, there have been a lot of Mac users over the years who've used his WeatherTracker and WeatherMan software applications.

My request is to add a general software mechanism for dynamically importing any external data to WeatherCat. By external data I mean data not from the weather station itself but from a separate software program.

Let me explain why: We Californians are in the fourth year of a serious drought and groundwater is becoming more and more crucial. I wonder how long it can last. I've decided to learn more about how our own well, our only water source, is functioning under these drought conditions.

I purchased the Well Watch 660 from Eno Scientific (http://www.enoscientific.com (http://www.enoscientific.com)). This device sits on the well head and uses a sonar-like transponder to determine the top of the water level. When we pump water from the well, the water level drops and then, when we stop pumping, the water level eventually returns to it's "static" level. Simply measuring the change in water level over time can tell a lot about a well's performance.

There is no off-the-shelf Mac software that works with the Well Watch 660, so I've written my own Mac OS X program to capture, display, record, and analyze the water level measurements. Think of it as WeatherCat with only one measurement.  My program charts the level in real-time and analyzes changes in static level over time, the well recovery time, and so forth. The program also records the water level as an Excel-compatible spreadsheet so I can use all the power of spreadsheet analysis and charting.

I would like to import my own data in to WeatherCat. WeatherCat has a great infrastructure for posting information on my web site and sending it to WeatherCat clients. I'd like to take advantage of that capability by adding my own data.

Okay, so it's a stretch - it requires programming and stuff like that, but I thought I'd ask.

Dear Grand and WeatherCat tinkerers and drought watchers, . . . .

Let me explain why: We Californians are in the fourth year of a serious drought.

You definitely ain't alone brother . . . . (http://www.canebas.org/WeatherCat/Forum_support_documents/Custom_emoticons/desert-smiley.gif)

http://athena.trixology.com/index.php?topic=1392.0 (http://athena.trixology.com/index.php?topic=1392.0)


My request is to add a general software mechanism for dynamically importing any external data to WeatherCat. By external data I mean data not from the weather station itself but from a separate software program.

Well, if you could use AppleScript as the "glue," WeatherCat already has a mechanism for importing data: Synthetic Channels.  I have one synthetic channel that computes the different between the actual monthly rainfall and the normal average monthly rainfall and displays that on a graph.  Here is the current graph and custom gauge:

(http://www.canebas.org/misc/Voila_images/Diff%20ave%20rainfall%202015-06-22.jpg)

Amazingly, we are well above average for June rainfall because of that 0.25 of rain we got on June 10 from the remnants of hurricane Blanca.

I also have a graph of WeatherCat memory use:

(http://www.canebas.org/misc/Voila_images/WeatherCat%20memory%20use%202015-06-22.jpg)

I have my WC Status Growler AppleScript get the memory use from the UNIX utility top and then it puts the value in a file that my AppleScript synthetic channel picks up to graph.

AppleScript is hardly an elegant language, but it should be able to do what you want.  The easiest way to bring your data into WeatherCat is indeed to have some small "breadcrumb" files containing the numbers you want have brought into WeatherCat and then have small AppleScript synthetic channels that open up the file, read the value and return that as the value.

You can read more about synthetic channels on page 56 of the current WeatherCat manual, and I'll gladly send you my AppleScript source if you want it.

If you want better control for inputting data, you could write a WeatherCat plugin.  I've wanted to convert most of my AppleScripts into WeatherCat plugins, but I don't have the Mac GUI programming experience and that's quite a curve for me to climb.  You might not find it much of a challenge though.  You can download the WeatherCat SDK at the bottom of this page:

http://trixology.com/weathercat/ (http://trixology.com/weathercat/)

or is the direct link to download it:

http://data.trixology.com/downloads/WeatherCatSDK120.zip (http://data.trixology.com/downloads/WeatherCatSDK120.zip)

This definitely should be possible for someone with your skills.  The question isn't if, but which path you choose.

Cheers, Edouard  [cheers1]

I would like to be able to mouse down the pointer on a line chart and read the time and measurement. It could be a hover which gives scrubbing capabilities, but I'd prefer the less obtrusive function of a mouse down (left or right click).

Aye? ? Aye? ?

Sylvester to be able to post (tweet) custom alerts.

I'd like to see Sylvester tweet anything.  I have been unsuccessful so far.  I hope to see a response from the WCDev sometime soon.

I would like to see a local program that would send the raw weather station data to WeatherCat running on a remote system.

I know, wish in one hand ...
