Forgot to add:
in WS View you have to choose "Ecowitt protocol" 😎

Hi Ralf
the Ventus W830 is a clone of the Ecowitt WH2910C console/station and
weewx supports it via the interceptor driver.
Have a look at
https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730.msg417956#msg417956
and
https://www.wetterstationsforum.info/wiki/doku.php?id=wiki:wetterstationen:ecowitt-stationen
resp.

1. You need to configure the custom server function of the console in
WS View,
(make sure that in WS View custom server the server entry has NO
http:// or https:// - just the domain name or IP address, and that the
path entry is at least "/" - no entry there = no transmission by the
console)
e.g.
#------------ WS View custom server configuration -----------
server/IP: 192.168.1.77
path: /
port: 8000Â Â Â Â Â (must be the same as in weewx.conf [Interceptor] section)
interval: 16
2. install the weewx interceptor driver from GitHub
(https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-interceptor) and make sure, your
weewx.conf has the following entries:
#-------- start of weewx.conf excerpt --------------------
[Interceptor]
   # This section is for the network traffic interceptor driver.
   # The driver to use:
   driver = user.interceptor
   # Specify the hardware device to capture. Options include:
   #  acurite-bridge - acurite internet bridge, smarthub, or access
   #  observer - fine offset WH2600/HP1000/HP1003, ambient WS2902
   #  lw30x - oregon scientific LW301/LW302
   #  lacrosse-bridge - lacrosse GW1000U/C84612 internet bridge
   #  ecowitt-client - any hardware that uses the ecowitt protocol
   #  wu-client - any hardware that uses the weather underground
protocol
   device_type = ecowitt-client # don't choose "observer" for the
modern WiFi Ecowitt/Ambient stations
   port = 8000  #same as chosen in WS View
   iface = eth0  # or iface = wlan0 if you use a WLAN interface ("WiFi")
#----------------- end of weewx.conf excerpt -----------------------
any more questions, send me a PM
cheers

Hello,
I looked through the documentation but couldn't find much about how
to connect the weather station to weewx.
I own a weather station, that exactly looks like a FineOffset but has
no USB (it is a Ventus W830).
I'm sursprised, that it seems to be the usual way, to use a hardware
connection to the weather station.
On my station, I can configure to send the data to e.g. weather
underground but also to a specific URL/IP. So I filled in the IP of a
local computer and looked with netcat (or so) and received a data
record in clear text with all the current weather data. I hoped it
would be possible to use this kind of interface with weewx. (The
netcat test only works once after connection is established, probably
the weather stations requires some kind of protocol.)
So, is it possible to connect my weather station to weewx by network
socket interface?
Regards
Ralf
