I have weewx running on a raspberry pi 4 with a Davis Vantage Vue station.  Seems to work well.  Tried it with the Simulator for about a week and yesterday I went "live" with real data,''


So far, so good.  I'm downsizing from a CentOS suitcase-sized server to the Pi.  Now if we didn't have that Hurricane Dorian bearing down on us, things would be even better!

Looks good! There's no webcam image showing for me though.

I have been without power since 9:15 AM local. We are in the eye of Hurricane Dorian.  It works fine when I have Internet access.  The timing of my implementation was a bit off!  We ought to have power back in 24-48 hours.

Paul, you're not too far from me. I lost capturing the new record low pressure for my station last night, because we lost power. I need to simplify my setup, so that it can run off batteries for a couple of days. My phone recorded 955 mbar. Good to see you are back in business too!

I've discussed inserting this data in another thread.

Hi Bill,

    I don’t have power yet.  I have “iffy” cell data and some email is flowing to/from my phone.  My weather console is on battery backup so I do have that data (I think.). 

    Once I get Internet back my website will catch up and the data throughout this thing should be accessible. Right now the site is “frozen” showing the last 5-minute Interval just before we lost power. 

    The web site is generated in my home but hosted on a server in the USA.
