Nope. The parsing of ftp-data is very hard, because barani uploads either in 1 file subsequently all output, per device, or renews each uploaded file per device per output burst. It's very complex and causes delays/skips output you would not want to see happen, and a lot of bonus dependencies. It would be better if they would support something like weewx directly through LoraWAN or a driver, or some standalone linux CLI app that communicates directly with the LoRaWAN router. I really have no idea why barani has chosen to do stuff so different from the others. It makes their measurements pretty close to useless, 'closed source output', which is all but what we want in the meteo world. A shame, since their sensors are very accurate. I'm afraid the brand will go bankrupt because of this. There's way too much competition that has IoT compatibilities and more ease of use.
