WeeWX data input change from WeatherFlow/Tempest to Raddy L7 LoRa Weather Station

[Pete AndDebbie]

I have a Rpi WeeWX station working 100% with my WeatherFlow Tempest Station...

I plan to try the Raddy L7 LoRa Weather station, soon.

Matthew Wall has written a Driver for the Raddy L7 LoRa Station.

My question is:  Can I remark out the reference to the current WeatherFlow Driver in WeeWX.conf...reboot Rpi and then install Mathews Driver for the Raddy L7....and configure in WeeWX.conf  ????  Any conflicts?  I don't think WeeWX is setup to listen to, two different Weather Stations at the same time.  How would WeeWX decide what Weather Station data to use - to publish its single Web page?  I only have one Rpi available at Yacht Club.

I need a Wind Weather Station with ~800ft of Line of Site Range from the end of the Dock (at the Yacht Club) to inside the Clubhouse where the display unit will be.

Thanks!

You may have one driver enabled at a time in any running weewx instance. You can install as many as you want as long as only one is set enable=true. 

You ‘could’ run multiple instances of weewx, each with their own .conf file, as long as you use unique pathnames for your databases and html output directories.   I’ve run 3-4 on a pi with no issues. Capacity and performance depends which model pi you have. A pi4 or pi5 easily can handle it.

Thanks!  Sounds like a go!

Will test  Raddy L7 LoRa Weather Station "range" this weekend.

Claims 1.9 Miles (I doubt it) I need about 800' to end of the Dock at Yacht Club to get a better Wind Reading for our Sailing Team!
