Thanks for that.
See your github discussions.

Hi all,
there is a new version of the Bootstrap skin in the pipeline. Last year
this skin has been modernized and updated with interactive gauges and
charts, also, using MQTT live updates were made available.
Preview: https://www.kainzbauer.net/weather/Rif/en/
The version is still under development, to install it anyway,
download the "lang" branch here:
https://github.com/brewster76/fuzzy-archer/archive/refs/heads/lang.zip
wee_extension --install lang.zip
Although I've installed it on several test environments, I cannot
guarantee everything will work flawlessly by now.
If you encounter problems, please file any issues here:
https://github.com/brewster76/fuzzy-archer/issues and let me know in

Hi Gary,
in some of the latest commits I've put some instructions and example in the
shipped configs, yet they are neither complete nor very exhaustive. Maybe
we can improve this.
First, where to start from?
The basics: for having live data shown in the charts and gauges, you need:
- A data source (in most cases this your weather station, but it is not
limited to this unique source)
- A MQTT Broker for publishing data from the source and subscribing to
the topics you publish
- Enabling the data source to emit data using MQTT. With weewx,
install https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-mqtt and get it running
- Bind to loop packets for have data available more or less instantly:
[StdRestful]
[[MQTT]]
server_url = mqtt://broker.hivemq.com:1883/
topic =
weather_{any_distinctive_string_that_is_valid_for_topics}
unit_system = METRIC # or whatever you prefer *but note, this
will have an impact on the "payload_key" for charts and gauges*
binding = loop
- The MQTT Broker must be publicly available for viewing live data
over the internet, to make it easy for now, the assumption is, you use a
public MQTT without needing any credentials
- You need to set up the MQTT client for the frontend in skin.conf:
- [JSONGenerator]
...
[[MQTT]]
[[[connections]]]
public_mqtt
broker_connection = ws://broker.hivemq.com:8000/mqtt
# wss (encrypted) websocket connection
[topics]
[[weather_{any_distinctive_string_that_is_valid_for_topics}/loop]]
type = JSON
That should be a working, basic setup, if I didn't miss anything. *Note*:
on a https:// linke you need to set up an encrypted broker connection also
(wss://) or it won't work.
For the payload_key of each reading:
This is depending of the data source. If you set up everything as described
above, for showing "outTemp" it will be outTemp_F. If you use METRIC or
METRICWX it will be outTemp_C:
>From skin.conf:
[LiveGauges]
[[outTemp]]
payload_key = outTemp_F# outTemp_C if target_unit
'METRICWX', or 'METRIC'
minvalue = 0
maxvalue = 100
splitnumber = 10 # choose a splitnumber
fitting minvalue and maxvalue: e.g.: 0/100: 10, for -20/40: 6
lineColor = '#428bca', '#b44242' # colors are RGBa
lineColorUntil = 32, maxvalue # color from start of gauge
to value, change color of gauge ring to show important marks: 32 is
freezing point
decimals = 1 # decimals for current value
in gauge
#heatMapEnabled = false# disabled heatmap for
gauge, default true
#animation = False # default true
Things will get a bit more complicated if you use a broker that requires
user accounts and login credentials.

I see no configuration instructions. Surely there must be some if this uses MQTT for live updates.

[weewx-user] Re: Bootstrap skin a.k.a "fuzzy-archer" v4.0 preview available
Another week over, I've fixed several bugs, added missing functionality and did some little enhancements on the styles. I've put everything in the master branch by now, so if you want to updated, the feature branch is now obsolete. By the way, thanks for the feedback and issues on github. Also thanks to Tom, who is always precise in his feedback, helps a lot. Still: there is help needed for skin specific translations. michael.k...@gmx.at schrieb am Sonntag, 26.
