That is the information I was looking for. I plan to run it with Rich's MQTTSubscribe. Then the WiFiLogger2 will simply write to my mosquitto server every 3 seconds allowing it to talk with the console at will. WeeWX will handle all other reporting. Wojtek is a great resource, I have been exchanging email with him and he is very clear on exactly what the device can/can't/shouldn't do. Ryan at Scaled Instruments has been great as well.
