WeeWX - Open source software for your weather station

I still need to back-port the revised instructions (and a whole lot of other good wee_config functionality stuff) from my new Atmocom-UDP driver to the weatherflow-udp driver. Here’s a quick/untested edit:

Installation:

I believe that I have correctly followed the instructions provided by weewx
in order to provide the complete weewx extension package layout here.

extensions · weewx/weewx Wiki · GitHub

  1. Starting with a fresh weewx installation, choose the “Simulator” station
    driver during the package install process.

  2. Next, grab a .ZIP download of this entire project from the GitHub web
    interface:

    wget -O weatherflow-udp-master.zip https://github.com/captain-coredump/weatherflow-udp/archive/master.zip

  3. Install the driver package by running this command:

    wee_extension --install weatherflow-udp-master.zip

If you are using a Debian-based Linux (like Ubuntu or Raspbian on a Pi), the “sudo” command is probably needed for one or more of these commands to give it admin permissions.

WeeWX creates/manages its own database, with a well-documented schema that can be expanded with additional observation types. Let it do its thing. I’m planning to import my historical weather data from another program into the WeeWX database this weekend, because the Belchertown WeeWX skin can finally make it useful…
