For those piconsole users who have other stations and would like to display ‘that’ station’s data, I cooked up a weewx extension that emits WF-UDP-API compliant JSON broadcasts. Intent is to be able to use the excellent piconsole display to display a dashboard of data coming from any of the over 100 types of stations weewx currently supports.
See my github repo (link) for details. I’ve tested this vs. my Ecowitt station and it runs stably enough for others to try.
Bug reports, opening github issues, etc. should go to ‘me’ please and not to Peter if you use this one.
Note - running the wfpiconsole in UDP mode ‘does’ result in some limitations basically due to how WF trend and accumulated totals etc. have to come from their servers. If I get a chance I might look into whether this can be worked around for weewx users specifically.
Limitation - at this time you ‘do’ need a WF key and CheckWX key in order for the Forecast pane to work, so I’m announcing this on the WF forums only at this time. If I get some of the limitations/constraints worked I hope to make a future announcement on the weewx google group when the time is right for that…
