adding a second station (air quality) ?

Post by ON1GL » Sun Nov 12, 2017 12:44 pm

in the process of setting up the template, so far its working with the old weatherstation (Davis WM 2 - need new cables...).
I also have a 'air quality monitoring station' (uradmonitor A3-sensors for Gamma radiation, formaldehyde, CO2, VOC Air quality, temperature, barometric pressure, air humidity, PM2.5 particulate matter).
The unit can output the data on a local ip in json format.

Is there a way to put this data into the database and template ?

I got the same device and made a script to display the JSON data (see my signature). At this moment it's just that. I also would like to store the data in a database and make graphs out of data. It doesn't have to be in the Meteotemplate database (for me).

glad i'm not alone ;)
You got already a good start in displaying the data....
Any database will do, still having space on the NAS....

I made a script to store the data in a database and display them under the current readings. So if you click 'more' you will see the graphs.
It works with a cron job on my NAS. It takes the data from the JSON stream and puts them in a database.
It's not perfect, but it works.

You can check it out on my site.

Do you have a link to the sensor you are using?

I was looking at the Purple Air Sensor, but it does not do Ozone.

At this moment there is a Campaign at Indiegogo for funding the new version.
