Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install NeoWX?
First download the latest version and put it on your linux machine where weewx is running.
Then install it via
wee_extension
: wee_extension --install=neowx-1.0.zip.
Edit the weewx.conf (located in most cases at /etc/weewx/weex.conf or /home/weewx/weewx.conf)
section [StdReport] -> [[StandardReport]] -> skin (ca. line 149) and set skin = neowx.
Restart weewx sudo service weewx stop && sudo service weewx start. You may need
to wait 5 or 10 minutes until changes appear (depending on the set update interval).
How do I uninstall NeoWX?
Just use wee_extension again: wee_extension --uninstall=neowx.
But you can also manually change the skin defined in weewx.conf and remove the skin/neowx directory.
How can I add a forecast?
Good forecasting is currently not possible with weewx out of the box (this has nothing to do with this skin). You can use external sources and add them manually to NeoWX. You can find many informations on the forecasting page in the weewx wiki.
Why is my almanac very short?
The big almanac is only available if you have the
pyephem module installed.
You can install it via pip install pyephem on the command line.
How do I add the web app to my android homescreen?
Open the webpage of your weewx installation with your installed neowx skin in chrome. Then go to the menu and tap on "Add to homescreen". You can find more detailled instructions here.
How do I add the web app to my iOS homescreen (iPhone / iPad)?
Open the webpage of your weewx installation with your installed neowx skin in safari. Then tap on the share button and tap on "Add to homescreen".
The graphs don't show any text or scale
Make sure that you have the Roboto font installed on your system. Have a look at the
skin.conf at the [ImageGenerator] section starting at line 341.
There you will find the paths to the used fonts. Adjust them as necessary or change the font
to an existing one.
How do I translate this skin?
Just go through the skin.conf and change all text values in the "Translation" section
starting at line 33. If some graphs still don't show the correct text, you might need to check
your weewx.conf.
