Hi Jacques, I remember you from way back, your (Blue Version2) was the first weather website application that I used. I only stopped using when I switched from Cumulus to WeeWX. Back in those days I did not have the kowledge to adapt it to use data from WeeWX, but over the years, I have gained that knowledge particularly from this enthusiastic and helpful community who are very ready to share. As Michael has said, there are many ways in which WeeWX can communicate with the mentioned devices. I use Ecowitt devices in conjunction with the Ecowitt Gateway GW3000, both with a dedicated WeeWX driver and MQTT. Any help in that direction I am happy to provide.
I no longer have the code for your Blue ver 2, but I would like to set it up to use with WeeWX. Do you still have a copy that you could share with me?
