Real-time readings

[Joel Bion]

Is it possible, using Python in Weewx, to obtain the real-time reading from the weather station?

What I want to do is, for someone pulling up my station’s page, show the wind speed, rain rate, temp etc, AT THAT MOMENT - vs. from a snapshot taken at the last every-five-minute report generation moment.

Is that possible? Obviously, the type of station may matter here. If a station only sends a packet of info every five minutes, there’s no finer granularity than that.

Thanks!

Belchertown with the websockets enabled can get pretty close....

A common solution ist to install weewx-mqtt, configure it to publish MQTT messages on new loop packets.

So this isn't exactly realtime data (depending on the station model), but probably the closest you get, with using existing solutions.

There are some skins (Belchertown, Bootstrap, ...) with live weather feed, if you are searching for an out-of-the-box solution.

I give this skin my recommendation for live data from your MQTT data.
