The weewx-box. That's under my control and I suppose I won't manage to have 
anywhere near the up time any of the others. And it should be possible to 
use the WF servers as a backup then. If the WF servers are down, there's 
really no difference from today's situation. If the hub is down I suppose 
absolutely nothing is working anyway.

Yes, that's my experience as well. But the box it runs on needs updates and 
things happen :)

Electricity may go. In that case my hub has a battery backup, so things 
will eventually go to the WF servers. But the UDP-only driver would get a 
gap.

I'm not asking that, but the latter is what I'm trying to create. Well, 
it's working though very much a WIP. However I have wondered as well if I 
should drop the UDP altogether and end up with a REST-only-driver. I 
haven't really decided on that yet. Maybe I'll make it configurable in an 
all-in-one driver.

Cheers,
