For what’s it’s worth, I’m running WeeWX and Belchertown plus the mem extension
and my RSS feeds extension (WXFeeds) on a Pi Zero W & Raspberry Pi OS Lite,
with a Davis Vantage Pro 2 set to 5 minute logging and it all runs fine. Well
ok, it runs fine now that we know how to workaround a memory
It depends. If you are using the PI as a "one for all" device for, weewx,
home automation, media server, run several other services the pi4 with
enough RAM makes sense. Otherwise I'd choose the PI with the least energy
consumption. Running a PI4 24/7/365 for nothing more than weewx is wasting
I think the Pi with 4 GB RAM makes the most sense. You never know what else
you may want to throw at that Pi to do simultaneously with WeeWX. Maybe you
want to run Cumulus MX at the same time. Or maybe something better comes
along now that the Pi 4 B has been around for almost 2 years. Then if
No, not at all. Just trying to match the load to the right RPi. I didn't
know if there were memory structures or something in WeeWx that would
benefit from more memory.

Okay, so probably no use to use a 2Gb or 4Gb Pi4, just unused memory.
Thanks!

I run weewx with the Belchertown skin and a couple of other skins, with a mysql
database; there’s a local nginx instance running but the pages are uploaded to
a hosted server that gets most of the traffic. This configuration was tight on
an RPi 1B+ with 512MB — every few months it would run
I'm running WeeWx with two extensions, a radio program (aprx), a WiFi
hotspot and about six other processes.
All of this uses 5 to 10% of the processing power of my Pi Zero W
I think you'll do just fine with a Pi 4.

Yeah, I'm putting it in a Argon ONE M.2 case which has a built-fan. From
my experience, just setting a Pi4 on edge is usually enough so it can
radiate from the top and bottom surfaces, but for this I want to give it a
bit of protection from dust build-up.
With the firmware updates over the
You do 'not' need a fan on a pi4 if you get a quality case like a FLIRC
which passively cools through the case itself. Works great.

4 runs hot so you'll want a fan on it if you do use one. I have a test
setup running on a Pi zero and it works fine.

The problem with Pis being so inexpensive is, I've ended up with a few
extras that I bought "just in case". I've read the documentation, and
while it's clear WeeWx will run fine on 1Gb (or 512Mb), I also have 2Gb and
4Gb Pi4s lying about.
Is there any advantage to a 2Gb or 4Gb Pi4? Not
