Yes, that's the idea. Use REST for archive data and UDP for the LOOP data. OK, so I understand that this is not a supported scenario. I'll have to decide if I want to bother doing something with that or not. The wind vector graph looks rather different for 1 minute and 5 minute intervals :) Thanks for the info.
What is so bad about the UDP interface of the Tempest? I don't have much experience with either weather stations or UDP interfaces for them. It seems to do the job. The problem for me is that you cannot fetch historical data, for example if the system has been down for a period. But that's where the REST API comes in, at least that's the plan :) On Wednesday, January 20, 2021 at 1:32:35 AM UTC+1 Tom Keffer wrote: > I'm confused by what you're doing. > > So, you are using UDP data for the LOOP data, but the REST data for the > archive data?
