Of course, if you are reading this you have probably already switched to Cumulus and found its advantages.įine Offset manuafactured models are sold under various rebadged names and the specification of models will vary with time, so please treat the following table based on their website in 2012 as a rough guide of their models that have PC interfaces:Ĥ outdoor sensors: thermo-hydro transmitter connnected by one flex to wind speed anemonmeter and wind direction vane on a 'T' shaped mounting and with a second connecting flex to a rain tipping bucketĤ outdoor sensors: thermo-hydro transmitter, wind speed anemonmeter, wind direction vane and rain tipping bucketĤ integrated outdoor sensors: thermo-hydro transmitter, wind speed anemonmeter below wind direction vane, and (on top of transmitter) rain tipping bucket
#Easyweather 6.2 software
The software shipped with the device is EasyWeather (or EasyWeatherPlus for models with solar sensors) and while it peforms its role of reading and storing data from the weather station, it is quite limiting and inflexible. Many of the entry level weather stations can be classified as "EasyWeather" or "FineOffset" they are rebadged or generic models of the device produced by FineOffSet Electronics 2.6 Usage of easyweather.dat fields for Cumulus input of latest record:.2.5 Station configuration screen: Using 'EasyWeather.dat' file as current station type.2.4 Transferring past observations from EasyWeather.dat to Cumulus.Last of all, a big thank you to all the pywws users who have helped with questions and suggestions, and especially to those who have translated pywws and its documentation into other languages. I am also indebted to Dave Wells for decoding the weather station's " fixed block data". I would not have been able to get any information from the weather station without access to the source of Michael Pendec's "wwsr" program. The most recent version of this branch is 18.4.1. If for some reason you are stuck with Python 2.5 or 2.6 a " legacy branch" of pywws can be installed with pip and is available on GitHub. Posting to other web services: python-requests.įor more detail, see the documentation - dependencies.Posting to Twitter: python-twitter or Tweepy.Secure uploading to your web site: Paramiko.Essential: USB library python-libusb1 or PyUSB or, for MacOS, hidapi and a Python interface to it.Essential: Python 2.7 or 3 (also see legacy version below).The software needed to run pywws depends on what you plan to do with it. Don't be afraid, just jump in and have a go. One of the reasons for using Python is that it makes such alterations so easy.

You may want to edit some or all of the modules, or write some new ones, to get it to do exactly what you want. I have written this software to meet my needs, but have tried to make it adaptable to other people's requirements. "Snapshot" releases of pywws are available from the Python Package Index (PyPI).ĭocumentation is hosted on Read the Docs. The development version of pywws is hosted on GitHub.

It can also send "live" data to services such as Weather Underground and post messages to Twitter. It can be used to create graphs and web pages showing recent weather readings, typically updated every hour. The software has been developed to run in a low power, low memory environment such as a Raspberry Pi.
#Easyweather 6.2 windows
I assume any model that is supplied with the EasyWeather Windows software is compatible, but cannot guarantee this. Pywws is a collection of Python modules to read, store and process data from popular USB wireless weather stations such as Elecsa AstroTouch 6975, Watson W-8681, WH-1080PC, WH1080, WH1081, WH3080 etc. Python software for USB Wireless Weather Stations.
