Dear Freakent Thank you for your driver. It took me a while as newby to figure it out but in the end I got it working. What I want is to display the weather on my RPi with Venus OS I would like to publish the weater conditions derrived from Open weather based on the GPS coordinates on the Dbus From there I would like to display it with the edited Guimods. Question: how can I get a weather service. Now I only get a temperature /grid/tank etc. Thks in advance

Simple answer, you can't. You can only use the services that Victron Venus OS supports on the dbus. All the apis (MQTT, ModBus TCP) are just wrappers around the Venus OS dbus api. These dbus services are all described here. https://github.com/victronenergy/venus/wiki/dbus

The best you can do is re-use a field in an existing service. I believe there was an example posted on the Victron Modifications forum that added a weather text field tot e GPS service. The UI was modified to show that.

Dear Martin, Thank you for your very fast and clear answer. Bit disappointing as I thought it was a good idea and a nice project. Have to give up this and can only hope the Victron will open its doors with more services. Thank you for your great driver, learned a lot from it, was hoping I could publish any service on the dbus but that is obvious not the case.

Best regards from Holland, and I will be one of your future followers..

Rgds,

Paul
