+1!

I set up an Acurite weather station recently and was hoping to get weewx set up on a Raspberry Pi to download data and push it to farmOS.

Unfortunately, the few times I had some spare time to play around with it I was unable to get weewx to connect to the weather station. I think it's a newer model and doesn't yet have official support in weewx. :-(

So that was the roadblock I hit. But other than that, farmOS is already able to receive data pushed to it (see https://farmos.org/guide/assets/sensors/#posting-data-to-a-listener).

It would be great to extend the farm_weather module somehow to provide more intelligent displays of data that come from weewx, since it seems like it will be relatively standardized.

Are you using weewx successfully yourself? What has your experience been like with it?

Probably the best approach would be to include a farm_weather_weewx sub-module that encapsulates any weewx-specific integrations.
