OK, now I get it. Thanks Garry and Pat.
Almost there.
I have added the MQTT extension and can verify that data is being published to
my mqtt broker by using the command line to subscribe to the topic.
The web page now says “Connected. Waiting for data….” , but does appear to
update. I have the following in the skin.conf:
# MQTT Websockets defaults
mqtt_websockets_enabled = 1
mqtt_websockets_host = "10.0.1.32"
mqtt_websockets_port = 9001
mqtt_websockets_ssl = 0
mqtt_websockets_topic = "frogs"
disconnect_live_website_visitor = 1800000
mqtt_websocets_topic is same as the [[MQTT]] topic in weewx.conf. BTW, I’m
just using the “frogs” topic as a test
Here is a sample message being posted to “frogs”:
{"usUnits": "1.0", "dateTime": "1592238928.0", "rainRate_inch_per_hour": "0.0",
"hourRain_in": "0.0", "rain24_in": "0.0", "dayRain_in": "0.0", "extraTemp1_F":
"89.4", "barometer_inHg": "29.9"}
This must be being posted to a subtopic. I can only see these messages with:
mosquitto_sub -h 10.0.1.32 -t frogs/#
