@bent, yes it is my own skin with help from friends. It started life as something quite different. There is a cut down version in my repository weewx-DivumWX ( use the divumwx lite branch only). The version you see on my website is functional but making some changes under the bonnet before it gets a public outing.
I also have a version of the driver which is suitable for GW3000. I not in front of a computer at the moment but if you dig around in my repository https://github.com/Millardiang, you will find there. > On 24 Sep 2025, at 20:20, '[email protected]' via weewx-user > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Received the wittboy with GW3000 today.
