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’m thinking about writing a post processor to convert the data to values used by the station. Then pull and store values such as low, high, average, total, time and other values as appropriate.

That sounds great! I’m playing with that sort of project, but I am sure that you’ll be done way ahead of me.

I think I have everything configured. The process now survives a reboot of the Pi. I’m going to start fresh and go through the entire installation again. So far I’m very pleased with how it’s working.

I have the scripts and setup instructions ready for those the would like to test. The script runs in the background under the “Pi” user and fully survives a system boot. Please let me know if you would like to test. The next step is to incorporate this into NodeServers to allow queries so the nod…

These Pi units are great. I’m going to order 10 more. The latest files are now online.

Well @GaryFunk , the latest written version of the installation steps worked perfectly for me the other day . . . and the WF Archiver is doing exactly what I expected it to do. The best part, for me at least, is that I can write SQL queries against the data (using Sequel Pro on Mac OS/X to read the …

I have another Pi 3B+ on the way already . . . should be here Friday. I am sure I’ll order more, too.

The latest instructions show you how to keep it running in the background and the script has more error handling.

The Pi is a great device. You can have local storage and processing for around $60.

I have turned this concept into an official application.
