WeeWX series tags with Highcharts

[Steeple Ian]

Has anybody had a go at using the experimental series tags introduced in version 4.5 to drive Highcharts (or any similar charting system).

I’ve been using it beginning when it was beta code. First to drive ApexCharts and now with Apache ECharts. Works great.
Full disclosure, I recently started using the underlying Python code because of the way that WeeWX-Jas can be configured. There is probably a better way, but this was the approach I landed on.

Funnily enough I have been working the other way round. I have been using under lying Python code in my skin (formerly weewx-Weather34, but soon to be relaunched with a massive code re-write as weewx-DivumWX). I and a fellow developer were having trouble with a particularly complicated chart when I remembered the serial tags. All became very clear once we worked out the syntax required to generate the specific Highcharts serial data). It all becomes clear and very easy after that.

Just to be clear, WeeWX is still doing all the heavy lifting. I’m just calling WeeWX’s series method instead of using the series tag.
