WPWeeWX 0.5.2

Fixes incorrect chart values for stations that report data in Celsius (#1), and adds a Station Data Unit setting so the plugin knows which unit your station publishes in.

Changes in 0.5.2

  • Celsius chart fix — Chart series and LCD Latest values assumed the station reports Fahrenheit, so already-Celsius data was converted F→C a second time when the display unit was Celsius (e.g. 21.64 °C displayed as −5.76). Conversion now only happens when the station unit and display unit differ.
  • Station Data Unit setting — New option under Settings → WeeWX Weather → Display: the unit your WeeWX station reports temperatures in, used for data feeds without unit metadata (like the dataset charts). Defaults to Fahrenheit.
  • Two-way conversion — Temperature conversion now works in both directions (C→F as well as F→C), so metric stations display correctly with the display unit set to Fahrenheit too.
  • Renderer fallback — Unit-less temperature values (e.g. LCD extra temp cards) fall back to the configured station unit instead of always assuming Fahrenheit.

Upgrade note

If your station reports in Celsius (metric WeeWX configuration), set Settings → WeeWX Weather → Display → Station Data Unit to Celsius (C) after updating. It defaults to Fahrenheit, so existing imperial setups are unaffected and need no changes.

WPWeeWX 0.5.1

Refinements to SQM (sky quality) support: SQM Time display, better handling when only historical data exists, and improved chart formatting for angles and phases.

Changes in 0.5.1

  • SQM Time — Added sqmTime / sqm_time to labels and the SQM Latest tab; the SQM Time row is shown when the data is available.
  • SQM Latest fallback — If there’s no current SQM reading, the Latest tab now falls back to the last SQM row from daily data so the tab can still show metrics when you only have historical SQM data.
  • Chart value format — Charts support a fixed:N format (e.g. fixed:2) for axis and tooltips. Solar Alt, Lunar Alt, and Lunar Phase use 2 decimal places.
  • SQM daily charts — X-axis labels use sqmTime when present, otherwise timestamp_epoch.
