Seth: I think you have a couple of options to choose from. One concern I would have with MQTT is that it always publishes the latest record, so if your farm location is down for 1 hour, your remote will not get the records up to the last archive.
thinking about your use case now, It may make sense to setup the station on SQLite and rsync the database to your remote location after the archive period. that way if your farm location lost connection, you would know based on the last archive record at home and once you have a connection again, you would get all the data. here is a wiki article on the github weewx repo that kind of explains this : Using the RSYNC skin as a backup solution ยท weewx/weewx Wiki (github.com) <https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Using-the-RSYNC-skin-as-a-backup-solution> To answer your question about my other databases, for forecast and AQI, as Vince indicated earlier, there are a host of extensions available. The one I use for forecast is Weewx-Forecast by Matthew Wall ( matthewwall/weewx-forecast: forecasting extension for weewx (github.com) <https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-forecast>) and I use a AQI extension to pull from my Davis Airlink AQI device ( chaunceygardiner/weewx-airlink: WeeWX extension to support Davis AirLink air quality sensor. (github.com) <https://github.com/chaunceygardiner/weewx-airlink>) hope this helps!
