Re: [weewx-user] Re: DIY weather station + Weewx on Raspberry Pi - how to join them?

Thanks , now that you showed me it's possible to get data into weewx I feel
a zeropi weather station is the way to go. The zeropi would have to be
located outside on the mast  with  the sensors and powered with a solar
battery.  It might be a challenge getting an indoor temp sensor connected.

[weewx-user] Re: DIY weather station + Weewx on Raspberry Pi - how to join them?

[Rob Shorrock]

I have been running weewx on a zeropi with wifi connected to my home 
network . The zeropi gets the weather station data through a usb connection 
to a Acurite 5in 1 PWS and I can access the weewx dashboard from my 
browser.  The weewx also uploads the data to a PWSWeather.com to allow 
viewing on the web. Unfortunately my Acurite has ceased functioning and I 
need a new system. Could a zeropi w  run software to read the sensors and 
load the data into weewx also running on the zeropi w ?. The zeropi runs at 
low loads when running weewx but may need extra hardware to read the analog 
sensors??
