My script [(HERE)](https://community.tempest.earth/t/weatherflow-udp-listener-and-mqtt-influxdb-publisher-utility/2053) could easily be extended to do what you want. I already have a --raw option to print the JSON it hears, and a --decoded to decode that into human readable non-JSON format.

Just extend my script to add a new option that does the decoding+printing into whatever format you want. Should be very straightforward to add.
