It's great that you are extending weewx and contributing. I want to suggest something else you might want to look into, although it's more complicated.
weewwx excels at dealing with weather station hardware converting/regularizing weather data storing weather data for the long term making graphs and webpages of weather data with mqtt extension, publishing data to MQTT probably other stuff I forgot or don't know about and while software can be extended in any direction, it sounds like you are crossing into home automation. I think it makes sense to have a weather thing and an automation thing and connect them, rather than making one that does it all. (This is about sharing and reuse, nothing fundamental). For home automation, I use Home Assistant (also python), and I have weeewx post data to MQTT and ingest that into Home Assistant. So I'd awnt to have a Home Assistant integration for knx, so that you can manually control it from the UI, write rules, have HA send the weather dat to it if that's how it works, or perhaps you'd want the logic in python and not use the builtin logic. As an example, I have rules that change lights depending on how bright it is outside. not how bright it should be based on time, but based on the solar radiation sensor from weewx via MQTT. This sounds a bit like what you probably want with blinds. I don't mean to say you shouldn't do what you are doing. It certainly makes sense and sharing it helps others. (In fact, I didn't know about KNX and will now look into it!) I'm only writing in case you didn't know about Home Assistant or hadn't considered it. It turns out others have already done things you might find useful: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/knx/ Greg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-development" group.
