Peter,

From https://groups.google.com/d/msg/meso-user/ebs6sOhNqsg/iNeqnVarEgAJ

On the basis of the linked post (contents are included below) and after a discussion with Luc Heijst regarding the maintenace of his scripts and their integration with MesoWx, I've forked MesoWx to github.

Luc is now focusing his efforts on Meteotemplate and he's given me his script collection to maintain, and to treat them the same - ie: 'as you wish'.
I hope to integrate Luc's scripts with MesoWx, ideally to wrap it all up in a skin that can be installed using weewx's wee_extension feature.

To that end, I've uploaded your last release to github where I can work on integrating this with Luc's scripts.
I've tagged it as described at https://github.com/glennmckechnie/weewx-mesowx/releases/tag/v0.4.0
I haven't been able to find a licence description anywhere within it, other than the highcharts one, so I've just left that blank.

I don't pretend that I can take this to the 'next level' but I hope to make it a bit easier to keep track of the changes that have occured with it, or around it. Obviously, it's also for anyone else to do the same with as well.

Thanks to you for the MesoWx project in the first instance.
Thanks to Luc for his efforts in maintaining the raw and sync scripts.

cheers
Glenn

Hi Peter,

I like your package very much and modified modules sync.py and raw.py to work with WeeWX version 3+.
Also I configured the meso part of the package to synchronize weewx archive data with the Meteotemplate database.

I would like to add the meso software to the Meteotemplate repository, but I'm not sure if this part is public domain software.

Glenn,

If you're interested in real-time extensions, you should be aware of WeeRT. It takes some of the ideas of meso-wx (indeed, some of the code!) and implements it using more state-of-the-art ideas on full-stack development: React and Redux on the client, Node, Express, and InfluxDB on the server. You can see an early version here (this version uses Handlebars instead of React, but I'm in the process of reimplementing using React).

If you like this stuff, I would welcome any collaboration. So far, it's been a one-man show.

Tom,

Had a look, it's definitely interesting.
I was aware you were working on a RT extension but I thought it had stalled or even been dropped, but obviously not.

When I get the chance I'll attempt to educate myself on the various dependencies and we'll see where the outcome of that leads me.
If I win, I'll see you over on weewx-development. If I lose...badly? probably crickets.


Cheers

It took a while, but it is done...



I've just finished converting the github repo to use the wee_extension installer method and tweaked it for weewx 4 and python3 (it also seems to run okay with weewx4 and python2.7)

Better late than never ? ;-) Well, I hope so. It was a good skin in its day, I still find it useful.

Apparently I've been a bit tardy on my responses to queries re the github repo. Mea Culpa, I really don't know what happened there.

Anyway, the repo is now in a better state than when I last left it. Maybe the tumbleweeds will roll away and what was old can shine again, even if it's only for a short while.

I'm happy with the conversion to utilize the wee_extension installer, it's now a breeze to do the local install (even though I'm obviously far more familiar with it now than is perhaps healthy)

The remote install is a lot easier too although that still suffers from network outages, but on a home network that's not an issue.

If it could be done (by me) I'd give MQTT a go, but a quick reality check means that unless I break a leg it will never happen (especially given my track record!)
