Multiple radios into single Weewx instance? #165

Closed vmstan closed 10 months ago

vmstan commented 2 years ago

I'm currently monitoring multiple devices on two frequencies, 433.920M and 915M, hopping between them. It generally works but occasionally I miss packets depending on when devices broadcast them, polling intervals, etc. It seems like the solution to my problem is two SDRs to constantly monitoring each. I think I understand from an rtf_433 command perspective how to trigger a specific device, but how would I configure weewx.conf to poll both?

you probably want to run two weewx instances - one weewx for each sdr, with one sdr looking at 915Mhz and one sdr looking at 433Mhz

each weewx instance would have its own conf file, database, and html report(s).

then you can combine the output into a single report using wee_reports

Ah, wee_reports might be what I've been missing. I saw where you could have multiple instances of Weewx on the same box, but the documentation mentioned it's own database and reports, but nothing about a single report. I dump to an external SQL server on a Synology so I wasn't sure if there was a way to share, but having a unified report from both datasets would be fine. Thanks.
