Thanks for the apology, but it's really not necessary. While WeeWX and meteobridge cover the same territory, they have different missions.
WeeWX is open-source software designed with the hobby enthusiast in mind. Flexibility, extensibility, and experimentation are primary goals. You are free to write your own drivers, uploaders, services, etc. Meteobridge is a commercial product for those that value turn key solutions. It is not extensible, and it is not open source. At least, that's how I position the two. Besides, I'm not making a living off of WeeWX, so I don't have much at stake. I do it for fun. -tk On Sat, Dec 12, 2020 at 11:41 AM galfert <[email protected]> wrote: > Appologies to the WeeWX for discussing Meteobridge in the WeeWX user > group....but I didn't bring it up.
