Richard,
If you read through the restx.py file that controls all of the restx
services such wunderground uploads you will notice a number of parameters
that can be specified, such as post_interval and server_url. When you read
through the user guide you might notice that these specific parameters are
documented for use with CWOP upload, not WU - but they also work for WU
upload if you specify them in the [[Wunderground]] section of [StdRESTful]
in you weex.conf file. Another useful parameter is post_interval as it
allows you to send an upload at the intervals you want, not every time you
receive a loop packet.
Below is an example of a [[Winderground]] config segment is use to upload
to my own remote server - and on the receiving end I use mwall's
interceptor driver to receive and decode it.
[[Wunderground]]
# This section is for configuring posts to the Weather Underground.
# If you wish to do this, set the option 'enable' to true,
# and specify a station (e.g., 'KORHOODR3') and password.
# To guard against parsing errors, put the password in quotes.
enable = true
station = MAKESOMETHINGUP
password = anthingIwant
# Set the following to True to have weewx use the WU "Rapidfire"
# protocol. Not all hardware can support it. See the User's Guide.
rapidfire = true
post_interval = 40
log_success = false
log_failure = true
server_url = http://"insert_your_own_url_here";
max_tries = 2
post_indoor_observations = true
Why do this? I came up with this approach to receive loop data at my remote
cabin, and upload it to my home server running another instance of weewx -
all this to minimize the data transfer via cellular modem from the remote
site.
Or you can just follow Tom's suggestions that was posted just before mine
:-)
