Hi, There are a few steps involved in achieving what you want to do. First the historical max/min - by this I presume you mean all time statistics - those that cover all of your weeWX data and not just the last day, month or year.
If I have this right you need to extend weeWX so that you can access stats from all of your data, this is most easily achieved by installing the xstats example extension. You will find the xstats files are in the /usr/share/doc/weewx/examples directory. I would install manually and just follow step 1 in the readme.txt remembering later that you will need to enable the alltime stats for your templates/reports by following step 2. You can install xstats using wee_extension but that will also install the example web page which you probably do not want. Now that you have xstats installed you can use tags like $alltime.outTemp.max in report templates to display the maximum outside temperature. The time it occurred will be $alltime.outTemp.maxtime. Just like $day, $month and $year tags but you use $alltime. If you are not familiar with weeWX tags it is worth reading the Tags section <http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#Tags> of the Customization Guide. To use the $alltime tags you will probably want to create a new page or modify an existing one. It is really up to you want you want to do. To modify an existing page have a look at the .tmpl files in you Standard skin directory /etc/weewx/skins/Standard. These are the files weeWX uses to generate a corresponding .html page. You will see how tags are used in a template, in a nutshell where you place a tag weeWX will replace that with the relevant data when the reports are generated. The process is a little more involved if you want to create a new page as not only do you need to modify/create a page but you also need to modify skin.conf to have weeWX generate the new page. You may also need to modify other pages to include a link to your new page. A good starting point may be to take a copy of /etc/weewx/skins/Standard/year.html.tmpl, save it as alltime.html.tmpl and start modifying. Have a good poke around the templates and skin.conf (and [StdReport] in weewx.conf) to see how it comes together. Including an image in a weeWX generated page can be relatively straightforward. If you have a look in index.html.tmpl you will see lines such as: <img src="daytempdew.png" alt="temperatures" /> This line creates a HTML img tag that displays the daily temperature and dewpoint plot. If whatever you use to generate your webcam image can create a file named, say, webcam.jpg then that keeps it easy, you may be able to create a new img tag but using webcam.jpg (rather than daytempdew.png), you may need to add a path in front of the file name. If your webcam image is timestamped like webcam201901131345.jpg then that gets a little more complicated. If you can drop your webcam image into the weeWX directory structure under /var/www/html/weewx then you can very easily use weeWX to upload your webcam image to your web server if you wish. There are many different ways to achieve this, I have outlined one and I am sure other will have other ways. At the end of the day it will likely depend on your setup. You have started on the slippery slope of customising your weeWX install, the process can appear daunting but do persist and feel free to continue to ask if not sure.
