Hello Christian, Many thanks to this solution. I was looking for a solution for a Bresser Station (which uses only WIFI), but I want to use weewx further.
Could you please explain your solution more in detail for a newbie? ;-) Which steps do I have to implement in my actual weewx 4.0. installation? Thanks in advance, greetings Peter Am Donnerstag, 7.
