How it's done

This website summarizes weather data logged by an Ambient Weather WS-2080 weather station using the polished and highly customizable Weewx software (version 3.6.2). Weewx downloads a data record from the weatherstation every 5 minutes and stores it in an archive database. It also creates all the graphs and webpages which are uploaded to the website every 5 minutes.

This website uses a custom skin which uses Bootstrap to deal with most of the layout and presentation. The gauges and the history tables are generated by Python scripts which hook into Weewx.

The code for gauge rendering (gaugeengine.py) and history table generation (historygenerator.py) can be found on github: github.com/brewster76/fuzzy-archer

Web content is stored in public_html/Bootstrap.

The easiest way to install this skin is to download the source archive from GitHub: releases, and use the Weewx installer to unpack it:

setup.py --extension --install [wherever you've put the archive]

If you have installed weewx yourself:

cd /home/weewx [or where your base install is]
bin/wee_extension --install=[wherever you've put the .tar.gz archive]

If you have used the Debian installer:

sudo wee_extension --install=[wherever you've put the .tar.gz archive

• You can specifiy a different language in the [Language] section in skins/Bootstrap/skin.conf and skins/Images/skin.conf.

• Web content is stored in public_html/Bootstrap.
• Set the page title and footer through the [BootstrapLabels] section in skins/Bootstrap/skin.conf.
