I found a way to get the loop data as I would like it, after posting on
github, I got a pointer.
This is how it went...
The simplest/least amount of converting was to set METRICWX for mqtt data
as it otherwise defaulted to US units.
For anyone else interested and as a reminder to my future self, here's what
I did.
In weewx.conf, add within MQTT stanza...
[[MQTT]]
unit_system = METRICWX
[[[inputs]]]
[[[[windSpeed]]]]
units = mile_per_hour
[[[[windSpeed10]]]]
units = mile_per_hour
[[[[windGust]]]]
units = mile_per_hour
I still need to figure out why my web facing page doesn't load the live
mqtt data....
