# Weather Station
Code for the indoor Weather Station
## Step 1: Install and Pass the "Variable"
Move the template file to the system folder and reload the daemon:
* `sudo cp weather-station@.service /etc/systemd/system/`
* `sudo systemctl daemon-reload`
---
## Step 2: Enable and Start
Now, when you enable and start the service, you **append your actual username** right after the `@` symbol.
If your username was `pi-user`:
* **Enable it to start on boot:**
`sudo systemctl enable weather-station@pi-user.service`
* **Start the script right now:**
`sudo systemctl start weather-station@pi-user.service`
---
## Step 3: How to check on it
* **To see if it's running:**
`sudo systemctl status weather-station@pi-user.service`
* **To read the live console output (like seeing the print statements):**
`sudo journalctl -u weather-station@pi-user.service -f`
*(Press `Ctrl+C` to exit the log view)*
* **To manually restart it (if you update your code):**
`sudo systemctl restart weather-station@pi-user.service`
