Something else I forgot to mention: weewx sending loop packets to mqtt works fine, by many reports on this list, as does other things getting those reports.
However, with Home Assistant, what you do is construct a sensor of type mqtt, and that sensor sees an udpated value every time it receives a notification via MQTT. There is a notion of storing each update in a database, so you can graph it, etc. I am currently sending only archive packets to MQTT, because I don't want 43200 temperature datapoints in my HA sqlite3 database, because I think it might cause trouble and I don't feel the need. Perhaps that is silly of me and it would work 100% fine. And if it were just temp, that might be one thing, but there are two temps, two humidities, pressure, rain, wind speed/direction and so on so really this is 0.5M observations per day. So, you might want to think of modifying the mqtt sender in weewx to send wind every 5 minutes, or when it's higher than the last report, or something like that, so you can get the rapid response you want without storing tens of thousands of uninteresting data points. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
