[weewx-user] Re: Looking for sample weewx.conf file that includes two sensor sources for Vantage Pro
Thanks... It looks like your configuration specifies station #2 as an exception which might mean that Weewx can see the #1 Station by default. I will give it a try.

The only way I can think of combining the two into some kind of aggregate would be to have both instances publish to MQTT and then have a third aggregator weewx instance subscribe to the topics from the two hosts. If you don't need weewx as your all-data-from-both display, then I'd suggest using influxdb+grafana as your db+dashboard, and using something like telegraf to subscribe to the topics and feed influxdb with data. That's how I have data from one WeatherFlow station overlaid with data from a variety of pi and arduino sprinked around the house. Works greatbut it's not a weewx-based solution to get you to have two stations of data on weewx-generated pages. Maybe have the stations publish into influxdb and have weewx 'consume' the influxdb data to generate graphs ? I dunno. Matthew probably has it solved anyway :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.

I have exactly that setup - a VP2 with a separate wireless staion on the roof for the anemometer. The VP2 base station is configured to receive from Station 2. Here's the [Vantage] section from my weewx.conf: ## [Vantage] # This section is for the Davis Vantage series of weather stations. # Connection type: serial or ethernet # serial (the classic VantagePro) # ethernet (the WeatherLinkIP or Serial-Ethernet bridge) type = serial # If the connection type is serial, a port must be specified: # Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat, Fedora, and SuSE: # /dev/ttyUSB0 is a common USB port name # /dev/ttyS0 is a common serial port name # BSD: # /dev/cuaU0 is a common serial port name port = /dev/ttyUSB0 # If the connection type is ethernet, an IP Address/hostname is required: #-# host = 1.2.3.4 ## # The rest of this section rarely needs any attention. # You can safely leave it "as is." ## # Serial baud rate (usually 19200) baudrate = 19200 # TCP port (when using the WeatherLinkIP) tcp_port = 2 # TCP send delay (when using the WeatherLinkIP): tcp_send_delay = 0.5 # The id of your ISS station (usually 1). If you use a wind meter connected # to a anemometer transmitter kit, use its id iss_id = 2 # How long to wait for a response from the station before giving up (in # seconds; must be greater than 2) timeout = 4 # How long to wait before trying again (in seconds) wait_before_retry = 1.2 # How many times to try before giving up: max_tries = 4 # Vantage model Type: 1 = Vantage Pro; 2 = Vantage Pro2 model_type = 2 # The driver to use: driver = weewx.drivers.vantage ## Hope that helps...
