Hi loonsailor,
I have been using a serial to ethernet interface for years as well (with
the wview software). I moved to weewx recently and after some digging
realized the support for serial-ethernet is there, just not documented up
front.
Just go through the regular install process and when you get into the
weewx.conf file below is what I am using for my Serial-Ethernet bridge.
Exactly what I used for wview all this time. Worked on the first try.
Good luck!
[Vantage]
# This section is for the Davis Vantage series of weather stations.
# Connection type: serial or ethernet
# serial (the classic VantagePro)
# ethernet (the WeatherLinkIP)
type = ethernet
# If the connection type is serial, a port must be specified:
# Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat, Fedora, and SuSE:
# /dev/ttyUSB0 is a common USB port name
# /dev/ttyS0 is a common serial port name
# BSD:
# /dev/cuaU0 is a common serial port name
port = /dev/ttyUSB0
# If the connection type is ethernet, an IP Address/hostname is
required:
host = 192.168.1.101
