Hello,
I just discovered this site. I have a project and would appreciate help in understanding whether weewx would work.

I have an oregon scientific EMR211 outdoor thermometer. I also have 433mhz receiver modules, an rtl-sdr (not used yet) and raspberry pi's. I have been able to connect a receiver module to a logic analyzer and decode the signal with PulseView using the manchester/oregon decoder. I'm getting temps and battery status messages.

I have tried to decode this on an esp8266 with some posted python code but one is not designed to generate output :( and the other displays values that are all over the map (like negative temps). So I need a different/better approach.

I see that there is support for a number of Oregon Scientific products and I'm guessing that many of them transmit on 433 withe the same protocol. Is it possible to connect any of this to weewx so that I could make the temps viewable in a web browser?

Help would be appreciated

You can view web pages locally and/or upload to a web host. Did you read through the documents:

I'm working on the dosc but if I can't recive from the EMR211 there won't be anything to view and reading the docs may or may not answer my question.  I know that I won't know for sure until I've read every scrap but that's a lot of effort for an uncertain result.

Thanks

Are you talking about interfacing the EMR211 console , which is bluetooth, or the remote sensor THN132N which is 433MHz. 

Someone wrote a driver to interface a bluetooth enabled wx station.  This might provide some insight.

The remote sensor THN132N

I can detect the bluetooth unit but have no idea if it csn be read or if it receive only. If ther was a waynto read it,  that might be an option.
I think going after the 433 signal would be more reliable

Going after 433Mhz sensor (THN132N) should only give you Temp.  Did you search here? https://groups.google.com/g/rtl_433
