alex, you will use the weewx-interceptor driver, and configure that as 'observer'. the interceptor is a driver that captures network transmissions from 'web-enabled' weather stations and saves the data into weewx. the WS2000 (and the WS2092A, the 'observer' series, and all of the permutations of those models) send data via wifi to wunderground and/or ambient weather. the interceptor driver captures or listens to those packets. so you must first install the weewx-interceptor driver: https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-interceptor there are many different ways to configure it - choose a configuration that matches your skills, network configuration, and hardware. you will want the 'observer' as device_type (the WS2000 behaves like the older 'observer' hardware from fine offset) read the weewx-interceptor README to see which configuration is most appropriate for you. then come back with any questions. m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
