Hi, I recently discover this app, It is so useful because I want to store my weather data locally, now I want to use weewx on it, I have Davis vantage pro 2 with the coloured console.

May I ask how can I start? what is the flow of the data from weather station to storing? sorry for very noob question

Unfortunately,  there is  at this time  no way to make weewx to communicate directly with a "colored" (Davis 6313) console.

An inexpensive SDR dongle and running weewx with rtl-davis can get the outside data by listening for the ISS readings via RF if that helps any. I added a bme280 to a pi via a breadboard to have inside temp and pressure as well. Some assembly required, so probably not for a pi or linux new user, but it does work reliably.

It would be nice to have an updated howto for how to query the Davis servers from weewx more simply. There are a number of Weatherlink Live drivers listed in the wiki including an ancient deprecated one I wrote, but I don’t know which one(s) would work today for users with the new tablet-like console, nor if some of the third party hardware solutions would help any. A modern howto with working options would be great,
