Basically you have to do some combination of putting your data into a form that can be ingested by an existing driver, or creating a driver that will ingest the data in some other form. I too am in the "MQTT is the right answer". You can easily run a broker on the Pi, or you can run it on whatever machine you are going to run weewx on. Then you can use MQTTSubscribe which I am 95%+ sure supports being a driver (rather than a service). Probably you want to put json with everything from the csv into a topic, but you may just want separate topics. Read the MQTTSubscribe info to figure out what it wants and write the data in that format. Also, once you have MQTT, you may want to do home automation or something else, and then that will be able to read weather information. Overall, I think the fastest path to success, with you writing the least code, where success means things are 100% reliable, is writing the sensors into MQTT and using MQTTSubscribe. At least that's what I would do. I have a bunch of ESP8266 with sensors all sending data in MQTT, read by Home Assistant. weewx uses the Davis driver and then publishes every archive interval to MQTT. So in weewx I just see weather, and in Home Assistant I see weather and various indoor temps, battery voltage, etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
