Hi Andrew, Thanks for the reply, my friend! I really appreciate it.
The reason for wanting to get my data up to OpenWeatherMap was so that another system that I'm hooked up with, pvoutput.org could access it. Specifically the solar and temp values. Unfortunately the requirement from pvoutput means that you need to pass in a city_id. >From what you're saying this is simply not going to be possible. Bugger. Back to the drawing board then. At the moment, I've got weewx pumping to WU. All good there. Additionally, what I need to do now, is to intercept the Davis Vantage data in weewx and send directly to pvoutput via it's api endpoint. Time to check some source code out. Geezzz, I haven't coded in quite some time now! hahaha Thanks Again, Benjamin On Thursday, March 21, 2019 at 1:36:11 PM UTC+9:30, Andrew Milner wrote: > > Unfortunately there is no way you can see your weather station data other > than by using the API.
