It’s been long enough since I had WF gear that I’ve lost how to do this one.
I’m remotely supporting somebody on the other coast and I have an api key to access their station’s readings etc. What’s the URL for me to query to get their sensor status ?
I can see from the web page that their battery is low on the ancient Sky sensor, and I’m “guessing” it’s shedding sensors as a result, but I can’t find the incantation to query that info remotely. I can get to the list of stations/sensors and the observations, but the sensor status stuff I’m used to seeing in the UDP message isn’t in the returned results.
Other than spinning up a whole raspi with wfpiconsole that would be a lot of work, is there an api I can query to get to the same data the UDP sensor status type info returns ? Even after all these years I get lost in the multiple conflicting WF API pages I can find on their site.
There’s this that will just give a general sensor status: https://tempestwx.com/settings/station/xxxxxx/status. I looked through the API docs and didn’t see any way to fetch the status, it only seems to be present in the UDP broadcasts.
I will watch this topic as I’m now curious if there is a way to fetch with an API call.
Edited to add: Would it be possible just to run your listener.py on a local machine there to collect the data (rather than fire up a whole wfpiconsole)?
