Anyone using the La Crosse 330-2315 Professional Weather Station with weewx

[Ted Bevenour]

So Santa brought me this station for xmas this year... I'd like to run weewx on a RPi and access the stations data that way. I didn't see this particular model listed on the hardware page, but was curious if anyone might be using it anyway.   

I'm guess this is probably a no, but thought I'd ask anyway.  

Thanks in advance,

I don’t see any interface for getting the data from that console, other than its wifi that appears to be specialized to posting the data to weather underground, so it doesn’t support weewx in the usual way.

But there’s hope! I ran across this posting on the wxforum Lacrosse topic https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=30932.msg335582#msg335582 from someone who’s doing what you want to do, by sniffing the data.  I’d assume that means the console is configured to post to weather underground, with some code on the RPi sniffing the network connection and extracting the data.  Not sure if this was discussed on this forum but you might contact the author directly.

Oh, very interesting! Thanks so much for the link, I'll see what I can come up with.

The interceptor driver can do this.

Be sure to check the Wiki! It and many other drivers are listed there.

Fantastic! Thank you so much!   

I'll be playing around with the setup this weekend, I'll let you know how it goes!

I also bought one of these (the S84060 which is just a different name according to LaCrosse). This is to replace my WS2810 that uses the USB dongle. I'm willing to provide any help that I can in getting a driver for this unit. - RonS

is there any way to modify settings on the weather station?  if so, what are the settings that you can modify, and how does one change them?

please try the weewx-interceptor driver.  you will probably want to start with this configuration:

[Interceptor]

    device_type = observer

    driver = user.interceptor

you will have to figure out whether you listen or sniff mode (listen is the default).

listen mode requires that you get the weather station to send data to the computer running weewx.  that means one of (1) modify the weather station configuration so that its proxy is the weewx computer, (2) use a local web proxy to receive traffic from the weather station and redirect it to the computer running weewx, or (3) make a dns entry in your router so that the weather station thinks that the weewx computer is weather underground.

sniff mode requires that the computer running weewx can see traffic from the weather station.  that means one of (1) using a hub, (2) using a switch with port mirroring, (3) bridging on the computer running weewx, or (4) sniffing on the edge router and sending that to the compute running weewx.

i find that listen mode with change to weather station config is the easiest, assuming that you can modify the station config.

sniffing mode with the weewx computer bridging (e.g., on a raspberry pi3 with wifi and ethernet) is a bit harder to set up, but is the most maintenance free.

details for all of these are in the interceptor readme.

Okay, so I'm finally trying to get this working now... so far my setup is as such:

-Weather station (LaCrosse S85807 Professional Weather Station (Known on WU as: La Crosse Technology 330-2315 Professional Weather Station)).   

-Web Server running weewx (Intel Atom box running Debian 9) ((I ditched the RPi as I already had the debian webserver running))

On the web server I have weewx installed and working, running in "simulator" mode with the interceptor driver installed (also the python-libpcap libraries installed as I assume I need to be in sniff mode).  

However I can't seem to figure out the settings for for the interceptor part of the weewx config. 

If it helps, my web server is running on LAN IP or 10.9.8.25 and the WX Station is at 10.9.8.26   

Thanks for any insights y'all may have.
