I have and executable python script on a remote raspberry pi that will get snow depth data from a MaxBotix TTL ultrasonic sensor (I hope) I have tested from the “local” machine where weewx resides using pysftp and exectute the program. The extension I’m writing merely has to connect via sftp, use the connection.execute() method and a list of strings is returned which I will process in the weewx extension to populate the new database. I’m using a modified version of the MaxBotix sample script on the remote machine. Modification was required for use with raspbian stretch on a RPi3 I am heavily modifying the mem extension that you, Vince, and Tom put together for my extension. thanks, joe
