[weewx-user] Re: Adding data from homemade wireless sensors to weewx
I see dust and wind now :) No really, most of us users are not able to code this. In my opinion: it is good to discuss this, and we can speak about alternatives. Working with text is not the badest option i think. And maybe some time somebody with more coding knowledge do the mqtt thing. I currently work some stuff out, but is always try and error. weewx is great and its free :) Thank you also for your great work mwall! Am Donnerstag, 25.

Haha, i want to do the same with multiple ds18b20 :) i post via http post to the weewx and save to text file, and also dont want replace the driver, also i do not want more instances. when we have a mqtt as a service weewx rocks more then now :) Am Mittwoch, 24.

[weewx-user] Re: mqtt extension TLS required ?
TLS is only required if you use client user/pass authentication. MQTT post on a topic for example "weather" is the topic "tempOut 12.02" is the output MQTT is not for human friendly output :) more for exchange data. Am Mittwoch, 24.

https://github.com/Landixus/mqttpondWeewx is not working right now, but could be that i have server and client running on same raspberry pi But when you test it and post errors we can investigate deeper.

Yes i am on it. But i am a bad coder, it is more try and error.
I need help from the pros here :)

My question is really about getting the data into weewx, but I'll worry about that later. After another message about the sensors themselves, I've decided to go with low power 915MHz radio using the mysensors org protocol. I should be able to get many months from 3xAA batteries. The parts are coming from China, so I've got a month or two to think about getting them into weewx. It will probably be after the eclipse, since I'll be spending increasing time testing the hardware and software to photograph it. So sensors through mysensors hub to MQTT broker, and then somehow into weewx. In August.
