Hi Ralph,
VNC requires a GUI, e.g. desktop packages need to be loaded for VNC to
work. This
Hello all,
If, like me, you are a Canadian wishing Environment Canada had more ways to get
their forecasts into your webpage, I may have something for you.
For a few years now I have been using a script to grab and parse the extended

Many good ideas here.
My suggestion:
Set up an identical package at home. Same model pi, same ip address, same
weather station setup.
That way you can update, reconfigure and test your setup and just carry the
sim chip on a visit to your remote site.

excellent suggestions in this thread, especially using only ssh for
access. you can always tunnel over the ssh connection for vnc or to
probe/diagnose

Forgot to ask.
What exactly do you want this remote setup to do ?
Are you going to want to view a weewx-hosted

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. I am all set now. The problem was the format of my
payload. It was originally strings. Now I am publishing floats. Here is
an example of what is working.
Subscribing to weather/individual/# has a mid 1 and rc 0
Subscribed to topic mid: 1 is size 1 has a QOS of 0

My error was publishing the data as strings. Now that I am publishing
floats, all is working for me.
Thanks again for this app.

+1
And get a firewall and VPN in.

I asked around and a coworker suggested just opening ssh up on the
firewalls on both end (carefully) and running VNC over ssh. If you did
that you could set your home firewalls to permit just the 'one' ip on the
other side in. That would be pretty good.
Alternately I think today's VPN
Two other considerations:
Power supply: give some thought to a solar system to power the Pi. If it is as
remote as it sounds, it sounds as if outages might easily occur? A solar system
might even power the Davis unit; I don’t know the Envoy but if it uses alkaline
batteries I am not sure of

Thank you for producing this app and allowing the specification of topic.
It works fine for me, for a number of variables. However, I use METRICWX
in weewx, with rain in mm and wind in m/s. We haven't had any rain yet to
test this, but my wind and gust speeds are both permanently zero. Do

Sure it is doable. But ensure that your IP address for your Weatherlink IP
has a reservation by your router.
Not sure which flavor of VNC you intend to use. The new RealVNC is very
nice and offers remote capability without needing to open and forward
firewall ports. But you should really test

In the application configuration have you turned your station units to
imperial? (I think they default to metric)
That would make a difference between looking for example between
heatindex_F and headindex_C which is part of the whole topic string
Thanks
