Can you please use the back tick to include your code, makes it easier to read and less long
I mean these between the 2 arrows → ` ←
Just 2 brefore and 3 after the code and it will format as you can now see above
thanks

OK, I will try to remember the ticks! I learned something new today.
OK, that seemed to work. Do I just need to complete it out now using this from the other thread?
cd && mkdir wfpiconsole && cd wfpiconsole curl -sL https://api.github.com/repos/peted-davis/WeatherFlow_PiConsole/tarball -o PiConsole.tar.gz tar -xvf PiConsole.tar.gz --strip 1 rm -f PiConsole.tar.gz
Great! Glad to hear it worked . Yep, follow those last few commands to download the code and then you should be able to get up and running with
python3 main.py
Excellent! Glad to see it is working.
Saw your message earlier, but didn’t have time to reply. I assume you have managed to find the IDs that you need? I will add some instructions to the documentation
Yeah, found them. Tempest likes to hide those.
Working great now.
Noticed it can display indoor temp - what is the data source for that?
If you have an indoor Air module that is supported out of the box. If not, but you have some experience in programming, then it is fairly easy to add your own custom sensor (a couple of people have done that already - look back up in this thread for ideas and semi-instructions). Otherwise the indoor temperature can be hidden in the Settings.
Anyone runs PiConsole on Raspberry Pi 0 W?
I’ve never heard of anyone doing this, but I would be interested to know if it works. My feeling is that it won’t be powerful enough
Hi Peter, how to update wfpiconsole to the newest version, for my Ubuntu installation? thanks
Manually I’m afraid. Make a backup of your wfpiconsole.ini
file (as it will be deleted) and then run these commands:
cd && cd wfpiconsole
curl -sL https://api.github.com/repos/peted-davis/WeatherFlow_PiConsole/tarball -o PiConsole.tar.gz
tar -xvf PiConsole.tar.gz --strip 1
rm -f PiConsole.tar.gz
Copy the .ini
file back into the wfpiconsole
directory and restart the console
Thanks, Peter. The above commands work fine. The wfpiconsole.ini with the previous set up data is still there after the upgrade; though the first run after the update, it asks for weatherflow api key only, then it works right away without any other setup. So no need to backup the wfpiconsole.init before upgrading.
Peter, you had me up and running a few weeks ago. I had to do a fresh install on same system, followed the directions you had given me prior and I now get this error:
``pi@raspberry:~/wfpiconsole $ python3 main.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “main.py”, line 28, in
from lib import config as configFile
File “/home/pi/wfpiconsole/lib/config.py”, line 19, in
from geopy import distance as geopy
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘geopy’‘’’
It looks like you are missing some of the required modules. Can you run this command again and let me know if that helps:
python3 -m pip install autobahn[twisted] pytz pyasn1-modules service_identity geopy ephem Cython numpy packaging
Make sure you are using python3
in all commands rather than just python
, as they point to different versions of Python that are not compatible.
If it still doesn’t work, try running this command:
python3 -m pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall geopy
If that doesn’t work, can you share your terminal output and I will have more of a think!
Thanks, that first command worked. I must have missed a line when switching between the 2 screens to copy and paste. Again, thanks for your help with us dummies!
In fact, my terminal screen output looks much better now than last time. I never had the green [info] like I do know & no errors (somehow it even worked last time).
@peter I have just used the automated installer to install the console which went through smoothly but it’s not displaying any data apart from live wind data. I have loaded the log from the terminal and also a screenshot of what I see on the display. (My device does have a failed pressure sensor so not sure if that’s causing an issue)
log.txt (9.5 KB)
have you made your personal Weatherflow api key and added to the config ?
Hi @s.brookes12, thanks for sharing the logs. A quick look confirms that unfortunately it is to do with your failed pressure sensor. The console just can’t cope with there being no value. Are you being sent a new Tempest?
