Hi, If I understand you correctly you want WeeWX to produce an xml format file (as per the example given) for use with your home automation system. You have attempted to use the WeeWX csv service <https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/csv> to generate such a file by configuring the csv service to produce a file name ending with .xml rather than .csv. If this is the case I suspect you will be doomed to failure without significant rewriting of the csv extension to meet you needs. The main problem is that the csv service simply creates a string of values separated by commas on a single line; it has not idea how to structure an xml file with xml tags. You could certainly use the csv service as a bare bones from which to create an xml service to suit your needs, but it will take a significant effort and python skills and you seem to indicate you do not have the skills.
I would go back a step and ask what is you real requirement? The csv service emits a file every loop packet or archive record. If you can live with an updated file being generated once per archive interval as opposed to each loop packet, then why not just create a new WeeWX report in a new or existing skin to produce the xml file? The xml example you give could be easily put together as a WeeWX report with just a few bits of text and some WeeWX tags. It will be much easier to do, will involve essentially no python skills and you can easily do it yourself - waiting for someone else to write an xml service to meet your specific needs might see you waiting a long time.
