Hello,

I have a Bresser 5in1 meteo station. I am interested in your solution. However, I don't quite understand how to do it. I have a Proxmox server with HAOS on it (VM). Is it possible to create a VM to capture data from the weather station and send it back to Home Assistant? What I understand is what to do in home assistant. What I don't understand is how to use the pyton file and if I need to change the Host IP? Which IP The weather station, or homeassistant? Thank you in advance for your help. PS: I'm from Belgium

Best regards Jhack

Hello, Bonjour, Goedemiddag Jhack,

The script should be able to run in a virtual machine that has python3 installed and port forwarding. The python script creates a web server which both the weather station and Home Assistant will call through HTTP GET requests. The weather station for sending data and HA for retrieving it. The python script needs no knowledge of either Home Assistant or the Weather stations' IP, but both the weather station and HA need to be configured to point to the IP and port of your virtual machine. Home Assistant will call the python script through a REST sensor which is configured via the yaml files in this repository.

I hope that my message above answers your question and clarifies my setup.

Regards, Raphael.
