This can be achieved by commenting out the [[[data]]] stanza in weewx-data/skins/ss/skin.conf: > [CheetahGenerator] > encoding = html_entities > [[ToDate]] > [[[index]]] > template = index.html.tmpl > # [[[data]]] # 2025 May 23 > # template = gauge-data.txt.tmpl I feel it's better to put the RTGD gauge-data.txt file closer to the *.html files, so I modify the [RealtimeGaugeData] stanza in weewx-data/weewx.conf, too: > [RealtimeGaugeData] # 2025 May 22 > > # Path to gauge-data.txt. Relative paths are relative to HTML_ROOT.

I receive a working page of gauges from my Web site at https://lacusveris.com/Weather/ss/index.html even though the rsync doesn't happen very often. Bringing up a local copy file:///home/ccrhode/weewx-data/public_html/ss/index.html in my browser doesn't work at all, though. Apparently, this is due to jquery.ajax's mistrust of local data. But wait! Hammering at the Gates of Google yields this tidbit: > chromium --allow-file-access-from-files > /home/ccrhode/weewx-data/public_html/ss/index.html ... which sidesteps the issue. Firefox solutions involve relaxing security policies with (for me) uncertain consequences. Hooray! It appears to me that I'm able to browse a realtime local gauge page and use that in place of a weather station console. Finally, I am convicted to say that the SteelSeries Gauges are heartbreakingly beautiful to look at and legible, too. And they have tons of configurable options. I think something could be done with providing a set of themes for users to play with in weewx-data/skins/ss/skin.conf — much like what I've done for the Seasons skin in my WeeWX Phenology extension: https://lacusveris.com/Phenology/phenology_image_generator.shtml - -- ..
