I've added some documentation here: https://github.com/morrowwm/weewxMQTT/wiki/Configuration The genLoopPackets() method in the driver converts the keyword:value pairs in to weewx's packet.

I have an inside Adafruit Feather Huzzah with a Sparkfun HTU21D temperature/humidity sensor adding the inside temperature/humidity to my outside observations. Weewx accepts both publications to the weather topic and merges them together. I am not setting the time before the data gets to weewx, it is set inside the wxMesh driver. This was easier than trying to keep accurate time upstream in the data path, before data get to weewx. Time setting is done by these two lines in the driver: if( key=="TIME" and data[key] == "0"): data[key] = str(int(time.time())) > And finally: simple measurements (temp, humidity, pressure...) seems ok, > but how is working measurements like rain ?

It is snowing here presently :) Depending on how your station collects and provides rain measurement, you might have to adjust the driver. My plan is to build a rain collector which will publish the rainfall for each minute or so. weewx has the capability of calculating accumulated rainfall, I believe. > Sorry for this question avalanche ! > > P.S.
