CumulusMX with an hybrid of FineOffset WS8681 and Arduino/RPi?
Posted: Sun 30 Apr 2023 5:13 pm
Currently I am using CumulusMX (running in MacOS) with my station WATSON WS8681(similar to WH10180 of FineOffset). My aim is moving all the software to RPi 1B that I have to control 24x7 the station.
I wanted to add new sensors such as UV but I am aware that it is not possible to my model (I have not found any reference to changing the firmware to this model in order to give it a chance to receive and show in the screen data from other sensors) so I am thinking about to make an hybrid between WS8681 and RPi with an Arduino that could control UV sensor. I would like to use the current sensors of WS8681 that work fine.
Does it make sense? Could CumulusMX receives both sources of data and being able to show them in the dashboard? or I am mixing too much
Thanks
