[weewx-development] How to implement rain and rainRate fields in a new driver?

2020-03-06 Thread Bill Burton

If anybody has a Davis WeatherLink Live device and would like to test my driver that pulls data periodically via JSON, please email me and I'll set you up. This one would be ideal if you can spin up a VM or a pi with a throwaway weewx db for some testing. The driver tests and runs in the fore

Busy here on packaging issues, but I just wanted to add that all releases are tagged. So, if you want v3.9.0 for some reason, git checkout tags/v3.9.0 would do it. But, maybe you already knew that, in which case, my apologies. On Fri, Mar 6, 2020 at 11:07 AM Vince Skahan wrote: > On Friday, Ma
