WX4.0.0b14 & Bskin1.1b9 - a couple of issues that works before

[ZXant]

1. skin.conf
   Including "cloudbase", calculated by WeeWX software, in station_observations cause error (not sure if other variables may also cause difficulties).

2. graph.conf
   I used to calculate Illuminance as a multiplier of maxSolarRad from HighCharts (observation_type), but now produce error:
   [[[maxSolarRad]]]
   name = Illuminance
   yAxis = 1
   type = area
   fillOpacity = 0.2
   color = "#f7f2b4"
   yAxis_visible = false
   observation_type = 120.0*maxSolarRad

Both instances used to work in previous official releases of WeeWX and Bskin, but no longer.

Best, Xant

Which error does it cause? Can you provide the full output?

I need more information here. Also please upgrade to weewx b15 which came out and see if the problems exist with that version.

Updated to b15.... same issue.

Skin.conf: station_observations = "barometer", "outHumidity", "dewpoint", "rainWithRainRate", "maxSolarRad", "radiation", "cloudbase"

Without "cloudbase", no error.

Looks like you closed this. The error points to weewx, not Belchertown skin.

Agree... pls, disregard #1

2. graph.conf

[[chart5]] title = Illuminance & UV type = spline yAxis_min = 0 [[[radiation]]] name = Radiation yIndex = 1 [[[maxSolarRad]]] name = Illuminance type = area fillOpacity = 0.2 color = "#f7f2b4" yAxis = 0 yAxis_label = "Illuminance (lux)" observation_type = 120.0*maxSolarRad [[[UV]]] name = UV Index yAxis = 1 yAxis_label = "UV Index" yAxis_min = 0 yAxis_max = 16 color = "#90ed7d" zIndex = 2

The multiplier (times 120) used to work before. Error as the following:

Are you sure this was working before? What versions was it working on previously?

[poblabs]

The observation_type is the name of the column in the database. I don't see how you'd be able to do any math on that. I'm very confused here. Are you sure you didn't modify something to make this work?
