I have just created a master branch of my WeatherFlow UDP station driver, and committed v1.00 to GitHub:
https://github.com/captain-coredump/weatherflow-udp The readme file explains the sensor_map feature and configuration. *Without a proper sensor_map in weewx.conf, this driver will not log ANY data!* The naming syntax was borrowed from Matthew Wall’s weewx-SDR driver. I enjoyed the hours that I spent writing the readme file to explain everything, and hope that you enjoy reading it just as much when setting up the new/final version of this driver. Before you curse me out for the added complexity of the sensor_map feature, let me explain the rationale. I have an Air unit in my basement, logging the temperature/humidity into weewx as indoor sensors to watch the furnace for failure. I also have an Air located outdoors, logging temperature/humidity/barometer/lightning as outdoor sensors for weather purposes. Using the sensor_map feature, I can decide which sensor’s data gets stored in weewx…with granularity down to the individual sensor. In addition, I can choose to ignore certain sensors, like the lightning sensor in the basement. Not sold yet? Rumor has it that making a $7.95 Arduino NodeMCU or ESP8266 send UDP packets for things like water levels and soil moisture is a trivial thing, and it would probably take less than a dozen new lines of code in this driver to bring all kinds of additional sensors into weewx beyond what are available in the Air (and soon the Sky) today. I have been running this driver in a test weewx instance as it was developed. Other than the socket timeout dump when my Hub was doing an upgrade (now handled properly), it has been running for a week in final form without any observed issues. My usual disclaimer applies. I am not a programmer by trade, and did not sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night. Please let me know via GitHub if you find any bugs.
