Bloomsky weatherstation support??

[John Scherer]

Any chance someone could add support for the Bloomsky weatherstation to WeeWX?  I'm mostly a Linux user and it would be great to be able to use this app.  I would try but software development is really not something I do well, or rather, at all... I've tried.  They published there API, and its available here: http://weatherlution.com/bloomsky-api/ .  Looks like its using JSON.

Thanks

that api is trivial - are you sure you don't want to have a go at writing a bloomsky driver?  this might be the project that changes your mind about your ability to do software development :)

consider using the netatmo driver as a pattern:

the bloomsky driver would be much simpler, and does not need any of the PacketSniffer stuff.

If no one takes a stab at it, I'll take a look once I get my SKY2 after the current campaign closes.  Maybe before then if I find the time...

Chris,

My SKY2 turned up today. Wondering if you got around to doing anything?

Looks interesting, maybe i go for the holiday pack. What about the quality of the sensors?

I've made a start on Bloomsky support.  Basically got it up and running and I can definitely share it if anyone is interested, but it's probably a little early given the immaturity of the Bloomsky API. 

The API hasn't been fully updated for the Storm yet, e.g. setting units to intl doesn't change the units for any of the storm data, and the rain gauge information really isn't that useful as the rain total is for the last 24 hours, so kind of tricky to figure out how much you've had in a given period of time.
