Hi guys!
So I always wanted to use Cumulus MX as I really like the functionality (MySQL, Website, Met Office WOW support) but my Bresser PWS is not supported, after studying a bit the various supported format and Station however I discovered that the EasyWeather Format was based of a file with the data from PWS just read line to line (https://cumuluswiki.org/a/EasyWeather_Format). Since I could get my data in JSON from WU via their API I built a simple Python script that fetch the data and write the required EasyWeather.dat file with the necessary fields, Cumulus MX works perfectly and so does the upload to Met Office WOW.
So from this I was wondering why not add support to fetch Data from WU into Cumulus directly?
This would open up the supported PWS to any PWS that can connect to WU!
You would input your Station ID and Key to get the data in JSON format (or even CSV I believe) and Cumulus MX would parse all that! Sure would be prettier than my script running on a schedule!
Anyway, thanks for the work on Cumulus MX guys

Re: Support for data connect to WU
Any chance you could share the script. I figured out how to get my PWS to output it's observations as a JSON so I want to be able to use that to generate an EasyWeather file.yriou wrote: ↑Mon 18 Jul 2022 11:43 pm Hi guys!

Re: Support for data connect to WU
Just for info, this is on the to-do list, but it's a long list!
