The live updates are receive by a MQTT client in the browser. You need to
set up WeeWX to publish your live data to a MQTT broker, which you can
connect to from:
a) WeeWX for publishing
b) The client running in the Browser for subscribing
You also need to be aware that modern browsers block connectung to insecure
MQTT from secure (https) sites.
A quick glance on your documentation let's me guess you're not too far away
from getting live updates when you browse your site from the same network
your WeeWX machine and your MQTT broker is running.
It should be possible to browse the page from your 192.168.1.x client at
htttp://192.168.1.{weewx-machine}/weewx/belchertown with live updates.
What's not going to work is https://mydomain.co/weewx/belchertown with live
updates.
Check:
- WeeWX logs for MQTT related messages
- mosquitto logs if WeeWX is connecting to the broker
- mosquitto logs if the mqtt client in the browser is connecting to the
broker (will only work locally)
- the browser's console for error/info messages.
Getting everything to work with https://mydomain.co/weewx/belchertown is
another topic, you might want to get yourself an account for a public
broker or setup the cloudflare tunnel for MQTT (I tried once but failed, so
tell me what you did if you'll succeed).
