I think that we can all agree that the real strengths of weeWX are what goes on 'under the hood (or the bonnet for a Brit like me)', its sheer adaptability and a huge community working out solutions together.
I came to weeWX after years of being a Cumulus user (another excellent software) but came to a grinding halt when changing to unsupported Weather Station. It was weeWX to the rescue along with the HP1000 driver and I was back up and running. In my Cumulus days I had been an early adopter of the excellent weather34 template, designed and owned by Brian Underdown. This was originally designed for use with Cumulus as a single dashboard concept where everything is accessible from a single web page. So could I use the template with weeWX, yes by deploying the CRT extension to generate a realtime.txt file. Now I wanted it to do more, I am not a coder so it takes me a bit longer to discover the snippets of code that I need to make things happen and this is where this forum and others became a valuable resource for myself along with contributions and technical support from others. A big thanks here to David Marshall who has rescued me on more than one occasion. Recently Brian Underwood took the decision to only support the Meteobridge version of his template going forward. However, he was very happy for the other versions of the template to hosted and maintained by others. On this basis, both the weeWX and Cumulus versions live on. I am now hosting the weeWX version and actively maintaining it in the spirit of Brian's original concept. You can find it here: - https://github.com/steepleian/weather34-Home-Weatherstation-Template-weeWX-adapted The latest version is now using the weeWX archive database to generate the pop-up CanvasJS charts instead of relying on Weather Underground. The setup guides are provided for general guidance only due to the multitude of ways weeWX can be setup by individual users. I would like to re-iterate that although Brian Underdown is very happy for this version to exist and be maintained, he offers no support whatsoever for this version. Any requests to do so will remain unanswered. Please respect Brian's wishes in this respect. Any issues should be directed to this forum. My own current version of the template shows additional features which may be included in future updates if there is sufficient demand.
