Domoticz

Hey all,

I'm quite new to this forum and i need a some help. I've got an Eurochron EIWS 1 in my garden that only works with the Wundergrounds API. I recently found out that the API keys used to be free but now they're not. That's why i am looking for a replacement for my current Eurochron.

I'm looking for something like i have at the moment, i've found some stations but they have several individual sensors, i'm looking for one complete unit. I need a bit of help on buying one.

I need to be able to connect it to an API so that i can use the data from the station in Domoticz.

If your station is sending data to weather underground I am guessing that it is using WiFi to do so.

I have the weatherstation Ventus W830, which is also sending data to weather underground using WiFi. I am able to intercept this data using weeWX (http://www.weewx.com/).
I use the weeWX intercepter extension to extract the URL that is being send to weather underground.

At this point you have extracted the weather station data locally. Which can also be seen in a web page for example.

For weeWX there is also an extension that can upload data to an MQTT broker

I installed mosquitto and I am using Node-RED to listen to these messages and translate them into JSON strings that domoticz can understand.

For me it is working very well, it sends messages to domoticz every 10 seconds give or take.
Although you have another weather station, I think this approach will work for every WiFi weather station.

wow, this looks interesting... The main reason for me to buy a new weatherstation was that WU isn't giving free API keys anymore. I'm going to try your solution first before i'm buying a new one. Thanks a lot!
