Just to update everyone, I used the approach recommended by Thomas. Simple
and clean.
created /etc/weewx/skins/Standard/simple.txt.tmpl with these values
$current.dateTime
$current.outTemp
$current.windchill
$current.heatindex
$current.dewpoint
$current.outHumidity
$current.barometer
$current.windSpeed
$current.windDir
$current.windDir.ordinal_compass
$current.rainRate
$current.inTemp
$current.UV
$current.ET
$current.radiation
Edited /etc/weewx/skins/Standard/skin.conf (add under the CheetahGenerator
section)
[[simple]]
encoding = strict_ascii
template = simple.txt.tmpl
Now ill just tell the guys to modify the aggregator script pull the data
from there.
