The one big thing that’s missing from the Smart Weather is local storage. The system should be cheap, readily available and easy to configure. The “Smart Weather Archiver” runs on a RaspberryPi 3 B+ and stores all the UDP data sent by a WeatherFlow “Smart Weather Station.”

I have switched to JavaScript. It’s faster, operates in non-blocking mode. And since JavaScript is event driven it will run much smoother. EDIT Node.js is fantastic! I have a working script collecting data from two Hub, two Air and two Sky. It’s reading and writing so fast there is no lag. It’s …

I finished the code to create the “weatherflow” database, create the “wf” user with assigned privileges to the table and create the tables and index. The first time the node server runs it will create the database and user. Tomorrow I will finish the code to alter the database tables when the UDP…

[image] dsj: Note, we considered adding an SD card slot to the Hub for the purpose of storing data locally. We rejected that idea due to the cost and complexity it would add, coupled with our strategy of making the data open and easy to get at so developers like you could do that (and more) your…

Right you are @GaryFunk . I’ll pay closer attention.

I have successfully captured an entire 24 hour period and did not lose a single packet. The next step is to write a query API to return data in JSON.

@dan.gealt How was your first day with capturing data?
