I see dust and wind now :) No really, most of us users are not able to code this. In my opinion: it is good to discuss this, and we can speak about alternatives. Working with text is not the badest option i think. And maybe some time somebody with more coding knowledge do the mqtt thing. I

WeeWX can run with one driver only; however, it can run with an (essentially) unlimited number of services. So folks with an existing station that want to include data from another source typically do so by running the driver for their station and a service for the other source. Gary -- You

Thanks- I'll take a look and report back if I sort anything out. And yes, mwall seems to do some terrific stuff, but a driver isn't what I need. I don't want to replace my wx station with MQTT sensors, but add some soil temperature readings, etc., from other Pis scattered around my house and

I, too, would be interested in this, as it seems like it would be a much better way than parsing txt or xml files as I currently do for additional sensors. On Thursday, January 18, 2018 at 9:04:53 AM UTC-5, Andreas Landixus wrote: > > Oh i am high interested in this service, because i want to

I've got a service written that works, if you want a copy. Each sensor publishes to it's own MQTT topic and the service reads off the queue whenever it receives a loop packet and appends whatever data it finds. Let me know and I'll post it. Dan On Wednesday, June 21, 2017 at 7:37:28 PM

Thanks. My question is really about getting the data into weewx, but I'll worry about that later. After another message about the sensors themselves, I've decided to go with low power 915MHz radio using the mysensors org protocol. I should be able to get many months from 3xAA batteries. The
