First of all you need to write some code on the Raspberry to get your sensor data from the Thingspeak channel they are written to. This link <https://community.thingspeak.com/forum/raspi/how-to-read-data-from-a-thingspeak-channel-using-a-raspberry-pi/> will give you an idea how to do that on the pi. Once you are able to read all of your channels, you can write them to a temporary file and use the WeeWX extension fileParser to pick it up. Check out this link <https://vpn-expert.info/weather-station-with-raspberry-pi-sense-hat-and-weewx-step-by-step/> for details. I used it to setup a fileParser to collect my sensor info so that WeeWX could reap it and found the method works well. My setup is somewhat different than yours in that I have my sensors connected directly to the RPi so I simply use my sensor program to read the data and then write it to a file. WeeWX knows where to find that file and grabs it at the interval specified. The author gives you a sample python program to create a data file containing your sensor data.
Hope that helps. On Friday, July 24, 2020 at 4:03:15 AM UTC-4, Tomasz Lewicki wrote: > > Dear Weewx users. > It's my first post.
