Don't sweat python2 versus python3. It's just about solved in the weewx world. Lots of us are running the beta of weewx-v4 with python3 on pi with no problems. You didn't mention which model pi you built your home-made station on, but if it's a pi3 or later you will have a 'very' stable pi-based system as long as: - you have a quality USB power supply - you have a quality microSD card I might add lots of people build Arduino-based tiny sensors and sprinkle them around the house and out buildings etc. and integrate them with the pi running weewx. I have a bunch of those monitoring the temperature in various rooms. You can also do this with a remote pi as well if you have some of those laying around. Take your pi, install weewx v4 beta on it running the Simulator. Get your feet wet. It works. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
