Greetings dev group, I recently started using weewx for for my newly resurrected Davis Vue Station. Being that I live across the street from the Pacific ocean, I wanted to add current marine data to my website. I have succeeded in an extremely hacky sort of way using a cron python job to read the nearby NOAA buoy RSS feed and extract the summary html into a file that my template file includes into the generated html.
My next goal it to get the data items, wave height, both wave periods, wave direction and water temperature into the weewx archive so that I can provide history plots and run another row of gauges on my site. Reading the documentation I have discovered multiple ways of storing weewx data that evolved over time: 1. an independent data base (this looks difficult to integrate) 2. adding columns to the existing weewx table (is this shareable extension friendly?) 3. using the config file to rename some of the existing unused weewx columns. 4. another method I missed? I would like some guidance as to which is the most favored path to create an NOAA buoy extension that I may share with the community.
