Thanks for the input! My impression was that I was attempting to perform the latter by updating my pihole's /etc/hosts file. I added records to resolve both `time.windows.com` and `rtupdate.wunderground.com` to the ip running weewx (those domains are the domains regularly being requested by the WS-2902A, according to pihole).
Is there a better way to to do this? That being said, I like the idea of Ecowitt GW1000 - I'll have to explore that route, as well. Thanks again!
