If you have wifi-enabled arduino with sensors sprinked about the LAN, this is kinda what MQTT is for. Publish your arduino data to a MQTT broker, ingest that data into weewx somehow. I did it a little differently ages ago before I knew about MQTT. I have an ancient model-B pi with some sensors on a breadboard outside, and I periodically write a little JSON file that the pi's nginx server can return if I do a web query. I then wrote a weewx extension to periodically hit that URL and save the data into a weewx db. A little heavy lifting was required to learn that stuff. If I was doing it today I'd just feed MQTT from the satellite sensor rigs, regardless of whether they were pi or arduino. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
