WeeWX and Bresser 6 in 1?

[Andrea Cecilia]

Hi there,

Do you know if WeeWX supports the new weather station "Bresser 6 in 1?"

You can see the station in this page. Its console is provided with a USB port.

Thank you

Try a little google searching for "Bresser 6 in 1 weewx" and look at the links there.

I obviously already did it. 

I only found this, but it is not clear if this station does effectively work with the FineOffset1080 driver. On the PDF manual it is written that "the usb socket is for firmware update only", and this is a little bit discouraging.

I can't try by myself connecting the console to a Raspberry and see if the driver works, because the station is not mine. I'm just looking for information for a friend who can't use a Raspberry. 

So, I need to know if there is someone who tried this and can confirm that it is actually possible to use this station with weewx.

Hi Andrea,

The answer is not yet.  I have the Youshiko YC9388 which is identical.

Progress so far is that I have worked out enough of the usb interface protocol to get a test program working reliably and I'm currently writing a new driver for weewx.

The main difficulty is getting to grips with how weewx works, but I'm getting there, I should have a beta version of the driver fairly soon

Hi Bob,

it's a very good news that you are working on it, thank you!

The only doubt I have is that the "YC9388 PC" model has the same sensor suite as the Bresser 6 in 1 but a different console. The "YC9390 Wi-fi Weather Station" has also the same console. I hope that these two consoles are equivalent!

Meanwhile, does anybody know if there exists a driver for RTL-SDR-WEEWX for this station ISS?
