Dear members,
I get my new weather station Bresser 5 in 1 Station (868 mhz). I want to collect data online and on WheatherUnderground.
i wanted to apply a raspberry for collecting data. This software actually seems not compatible with this software(from list declared).
Any ideas for me? I'm new about these software/stations, so any ideas will be accepted.

Thanks

it is possible to use the bresser 5-in-1 with weewx.  


one way is to use the weewx-sdr driver:


for this you must purchase a US$25 SDR usb device:



support in weewx-sdr is thanks to user 'mercurystorm':


when you use this approach, you will have to find some source for pressure, since the pressure is typically recorded in the weather station console, and thus is not available to weewx-sdr.  one way to solve this is to install a pressure sensor on the computer, such as a BMP180, and run a separate service to read that value and insert it into the packets with the data from the sdr.

Hi,

I am in a similar situation and looking for a SIMPLE solution. I am very much a Newbie to Raspberry pi and Weewx but keen to learn more.

I also have a Bresser 5-in-1 (Model 7002570.  Important! as several different models called "5 in 1") and currently run it on my laptop via the Console USB ink  using the Bresser "Weather Tool" software, http://archive.bresser.de/download/7002570/software/ . I can then use it to save data AND upload to WeatherCloud,  However I don't want to tie up my laptop all the time so would like to use a Raspberry pi.....and Weewx, using the USB link.

So far I have Weewx on my new Raspberry pi ....but with fault codes pointing towards file "engine.py". I guess it's down to getting the right Driver?I have tried several in the list, none have worked.

Could someone with the right programming knowledge "Reverse Engineer" (if that is the right description!) the appropriate  "Weather Tool" code to create a suitable Driver and make it available?? Or is there another solution?


Incidentally the Youshiko YC3888 appears to be an identical Model.

I live in hope!
