The weewx UDP driver is designed/intended to work completely LAN-only with no need for the WF servers. FWIW, I found the driver 'very' stable in over 24 months of running it. But it's a little unclear which box you think will be occasionally down.... - if you're asking if there's a weewx REST API driver for WeatherFlow gear that hits the WF servers for data, the answer currently is noi - f you're asking if there's some kind of hybrid UDP 'and/or' REST weewx driver, then the answer is 'really' no, as that would be even 'more' complicated. If you wanted to write a weewx driver that used 'only' their REST interface and that didn't listen for UDP at all, I'd guess there would be some folks who would be interested in that. That would let folks run a small inexpensive Internet-only weewx site that just hits the WF servers for the data and that requires nothing weewx on the home LAN. That might be pretty cool to be able to do. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-development" group.
