Earl, I’ll take a first crack at this, and the WeeWX experts can clarify/help as needed. WeeWX really does all the heavily lifting. Whatever name/values are in the loop data that MQTTSubscribe generates will be accumulated into an archive record. You should see this happening if you run WeeWX from the command line. But, if the name is not known to WeeWX, it will not be added to the database. Note, I’ve never done this, but I’d start by reading this http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#add_archive_type
