How to add multiple weather stations on a single installation of Weewx?

(1/3) > >>

karss:
I am running Weewx on Raspberry Pi4 to which I have connected an Acurite weather station, now I would like to add another weather station (Tempest) to the same installation. It is mentioned in google groups that it is possible to add multiple stations to a single Weewx installation using Weewx-Multi. Could someone post a detailed procedure for the same. Thanks.

Try the wiki page - go to https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki and look for the word "multiple".

one weewx installation but multiple instances of weewx running in parallel, each one having their own weewx.conf (renamed) and database and reporting (and/or combined reporting[display skins]) --> link @vinceskahan provided

Hey @karss - don't mean to resurect an old post, but I'm looking to do this right now.  I read through the Weewx stuff and that totally makes sense, but how can I provide a "merged" overview of the data?  In reality I have 3 weather stations...

Station 1 - Visalia - serial connection to Windows PC running Weather Display software
Station 2 - Ecowitt station with WH90 sensor at a particular location
Station 3 - Ecowitt same as above but different location

I'd love to have a single page that showed the pertinent of each station (wind speed/dir, temp, humidity), as well as a full page for each.  I'm going to fire up Weewx today for the two Ecowitt's but any help on how to get all the data on one screen would be stellar....

Thanks!
Sean

It is very easy to generate merged overviews of multiple stations in weewx.  Which way(s) to do so depends on how each station is generating its data and hopefully emitting readings. You'd need to spell out your network in more detail though.


* If you have a weewx system on your LAN for station-2, can it query the gateway for station-3 in the other location ?  If yes, then 2+3 is easy.  If no, it gets more complicated.  Then I'd have station3 emit to MQTT and have station2 subscribe to those MQTT topics
* Similarly for station1 - I know nothing about Weather Display.  Can it emit to MQTT ?  If yes, then 1+2+3 gets much easier.  If no, the limitations of running WD on windows are going to be an issue.

FWIW - I've done VP2 (serial) + Ecowitt + WeatherFlow on one pi4 very easily, but they are all on the same LAN.  In that case I just write to three different db and explicitly say which db to pull a particular piece of data out of.

An example is:
      $latest('purpleair_binding').pm2_5_cf_1.formatted

Which is 'give me the latest reading of that field from the purpleair (extension) database'
