Dear all,
I ended up buying items [1] and [2]. All works well. Some details for those interested: To use the GW1000 API driver, I had to add radiation = luminosity/126.7 if luminosity is not None else None into the weewx.conf file (source: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg32175.html); I am not sure this has made it into the documentation yet. Both the HP1000SE PRO and the DP1500/GW1000 dongle can be used with the interceptor approach (and then then radiation correction entry in the weewx.conf shown above is not necessary). I have not found an advantage of one method over the other - both seemed to run stable for a few days when tried. I have settled on using the GW1000 API as this was recommended in the list. (Actually there is one difference: if I use the interceptor protocol with the HP1000SE Pro, I record [via weewx] the temperature, pressure and humidity readings from the sensor that comes with the unit. If I use the DP1500/GW1000 dongle (with either interceptor protocol, or the GW1000 API), I record the temperature, pressure and humidity readings from the sensor attached to the DP1500/GW1000 unit (as already mentioned in the email below). Is there any way I could access and record readings from both sensors?) So a big thank you to everybody contribution to the software, and the friendly helpful people on the mailing list! More experimentation with skins and reports to follow :) Best wishes, Hans > On 12.
