Really cool stuff.....
There are really zero docs currently, but I'm uncertain what architecture
you're assuming we have for an installation of weewx using this, so
apologies if I read the code wrong.....
- port number seems hard-coded to 1883, if the broker is in the cloud
someplace that is unwise. Probably should be configurable.
- it seems to expect a user+pass for the broker, what if you're running
mosquitto in the clear on localhost without accounts needed
- you use 'station type' which I already have set to Vantage of course.
Can you have multiple station types in a weewx installation ? Can this be
added to a vanilla weewx system that is connected to a weather station
already ?
- ultimately, would it be better to do this as an extension that the
extension installer could install ?
Lastly it would also be helpful to have unique keys for the key=value pairs
in your [whatever] blocks so that we can script configuring our boxes with
stuff like ansible for testing, something like:
# [wxMesh]
# wxMesh_host = localhost # MQTT broker hostname
# wxMesh_topic = weather/+ # topic
# wxMesh_driver = user.wxMesh Really cool stuff - more and more of us are
interested in integrating MQTT sensors into our weewx setups, so keep going
!!!!
