Weather Software > RaspberryPI Weather Software
need help building my weather station.
jpochmara:
To me it sounds like you need a automation system that will take input form a weather station and then make decisions about what to do.
I use Home Assistant to control various things around my house and one of the inputs is my Ecowitt weather station. HA has integration with Ecowitt gateways, so all of the Ecowitt weather stations and sensors could be used as inputs.
On the control side HA has integration with a number of wireless controlled relays, just pick the one that fits your need.

yeah this would be great im really newat this where should i start reading about this? or how should i set it up?

I would do some searching for Home Automation software. I choose Home Assistant because it met my needs, has a large following, and supports a lot of devices.
There is a lot of info about home automation on the web, can be kinda of overwhelming, but just keep reading and it should start to come together. Setting up home automation is not a quick project, but you can do small pieces, you don't have to do everything at once.
This is kind the order I got HA working:
* Setup weather station
* Setup HA
* Interrogated weather station into HA
* Found some wifi based relays
* Setup controlling pool filter with HA
* Setup controlling patio lights with HA
* etc
And just continue adding stuff as needed.
Note: I had my weather station before I decided to do home automation.

If you're new to Home Assistant, tke a look at the Home Assistant Green. It comes already installed and easy to set up.
I had my weather station first and then wanted to get into Home Assistant. I chose the HA Green because I wasn't too sure about setting up the Raspberry Pi etc. I just plugged it in, set up an account and the HA Green soon detected all my systems (Smarthings, Homematic, ecowitt, PC's. etc.).
Since then I have set up my own tabs to control/monitor various systems (Heating, Lighting...), using the HA Green as the contol system to interface with my other devices.
