Hi, A WD import module was added to wee_import a few months ago and I am aware of at least one user that has used it to successfully import numerous years of WD monthly log file data. The WD capable version of wee_import can be found in the WeeWX github development branch but will not be included in a WeeWX release until the next release. If you are using WeeWX 3.9.0 or later I can give you some fairly straightforward instructions to download, install and use the WD capable version of wee_import if you are interested. Unfortunately I am travelling at the moment and it will likely take at least a couple of days for me to put together the instructions.
In terms of what approach to take when doing the import/changeover to WeeWX will depend on a few factors. Namely what weather station you have (in particular whether the station has a data logger ala the Davis stations), how much WD data you have to import and how anal you are about losing data. If it were me and I had a significant amount of WD data to import, I would continue to run WD but install WeeWX on a machine and import all WD data except the current month. If necessary I would then install WeeWX on the final target machine (if not already done so), check it works with your station, stop WD, copy the WeeWX database containing the imported data to the WeeWX machine, import the current months WD data then finally start WeeWX. If you have a station with a logger then things are a little easier, you can afford to stop WD and take your time to install WeeWX on the final machine and import all WD data. When you finally start WeeWX it will download all the data held in the logger since WD was shut down. These are but two approaches and there are number of variations you can make. In terms of time taken to import I think the user I referred to had about 11 years of WD data that took overnight (or maybe slightly longer) to import on a relatively new RPi.
