I managed to run consoleWD on the synology NAS (Weather Display for Linux console 64 bit Linux desktop Version on 17 November 2017 - 03:01:51). When I run it it shows vers WD_console_11.8). I solved it installing libhid with IPKG on the Synology NAS and then copying the libhid source files as described in the Linux Installation directions found here on the Forum).
Is there a way to enter weather data as a text file? I remember that in another Linux version of consoleWD I had the option for a weather station type universal (#34)?
I have updated it (I had the code already in the raspberry pi version)
set station type as universal (34)
and then it will read in the data38.ini file (where consolewd is)
I have noticed that upon running ./consolewd the program runs about once or twice a second:

Is there a way to slow down or reduce the frequency, since the data does not change that often. I do readout my weather station about every 5 minutes.
It is working. I did set it tou universalupdaterate=99.
What is a bit a nuisance is that I do get this now:

I am using the weather station from HomeMatic. The Synology NAS gets its data from the weather station via a WLAN-adapter (HMLAN) and FHEM software package.
