Creating a script on the router goes way over my head, wasnt aware that was
really a thing. I cant capture the TCP traffic oddly enough. I thought I
had everything set in my weewx.conf file set correctly but I suppose not.
Ive attached my super simple script to capture the info through AW's API.
Follow the Ambient Weather API link
<https://ambientweather.docs.apiary.io/#reference/ambient-realtime-api>,
under Authentication it tells you how to get the two keys I used in my
script, you must have an account and your WS uploading to
ambientweather.net. They asked me for the MAC address of my WS 2902.
I would agree with your assumption. In stead of pulling information from
the station itself I am actually pulling it from the website. Im wondering
if I have to spoof that, again, waaaaay over my head.
Thanks a bunch :D
p.s. Ive only known one other Tremblay so I have to ask. Are you related to
a Joe Tremblay that served in the US Navy?
