Hey folks,
Is there a chance on an input interface feed with XML or JSON to enter measured values into WD?
As this is a universal data exchange tool, it would be easier to write an interface from whatever micro controller or data source to WD without the need to implement an interface from an existing weather-station.

that would work OK…
did you mean via TCP/IP or HTTP or text file or?
Hi,
IMHO the file or stream interpreter stays the same for all tree options, TCP/IP would be fastest, HTTP would be most universal and txt file would be a nice option because of simplicity.

Hi
one solution would be to use the existing Capricon station XML data protocol
which WD can be set to get via HTTP in the weather station type setup in WD, Capricorn station
the data protocol
https://columbiaweather.com/assets/media/Microserver/oriondata.xml
not all that needs to be there…just the basic weather instruments data will do
Tnx,
It could be an beginning but then the device must have a webserver on board to be polled by WD a better solution would be that the device can send data if available. WD is always active and a good device is sleeping or on minimal power most of his time.
Although they have nice additional sensors, I don’t see XML keys for them. Are you supporting all the possible value’s and do you know where to find the Key names.

if the web server device was not active, WD would just time out on the HTTP GET
only supporting the main sensor data in this capricorn xml
i.e not max/min, just the actual reading data fom temp/wind/dir/rain/baro sensor (and solar from memory)
