This Domoticz Plugin allows you to get the data directly from your own personal weather station (PWS). So this plugin does NOT require that you register your PWS to cloud accounts, like WeatherUnderground (support will finish in the near future!), Ecowitt (also displays your indoor sensors in the cloud!), WeatherCloud, WOW (takes weeks to get key), etc, or the use of WeeWX (extra software).

This plugin will directly capture the data from your weather station!

In general, if the station is supplied with EasyWeather software (version 1.4.x), it is likely that the station will work with this Domoticz plugin!

• Alecto WS-5500
• Garni 940
• Garni 2055 Arcus
• Ventus W830
• Waldbeck Halley Professional Weather Station

• 1.4.x
• 1.5.0
• 1.5.1
• 1.5.2

Your PWS needs to be connected to your router by WS View (and also the 'older' WS Tool). With this application you can connect your PWS to the router, so that your PWS can upload weather data to Domoticz.

1. Install WS View on your mobile device
   • Google Play Store
   • Apple App Store
2. , or WS Tool
   • Google Play Store
   • Apple App Store
3. Follow the instructions to connect your PWS to your router
4. Goto to Device List in Menu and choose your PWS
5. Click on Next untill you are on on the Customized page (Do NOT choose for WeatherUnderground, Ecowitt, WeatherCloud, etc.)
6. Choose Enable
7. For Protocol Type Same As choose Wunderground (preferred)
8. For Server IP / Hostname enter your Domotiz Server ip address, eg. 192.168.0.10
9. If you choose for Wunderground protocol:
   • Fill in Station ID with a value
   • Fill in Station Key with a value
10. Port enter a free port number, eg. 5000
11. Upload Interval, leave it 60 seconds
12. Click on Save

Now your PWS will start to upload its data to your Domoticz server at the specified port.

Next step is to install the Domoticz plugin. This plugin will automatically create the required devices, listen to the specified port, retrieve the data and update the devices with the latest information.

Unfortunately you can connect your PWS only to one Domoticz server!

1. Clone repository into your Domoticz plugins folder

   cd domoticz/plugins
   git clone https://github.com/Xorfor/Domoticz-PWS-Plugin.git
   

2. Restart domoticz

   sudo service domoticz.sh restart
   

3. Make sure that "Accept new Hardware Devices" is enabled in Domoticz settings
4. Go to "Hardware" page and add new hardware with Type "PWS"
5. Enter the Port number as used in WS View
6. Press Add

1. Go to plugin folder and pull new version

   cd domoticz/plugins/Domoticz-PWS-Plugin
   git pull
   

2. Restart domoticz

   sudo service domoticz.sh restart
   

If new devices are added in the plugin, you have to remove the hardware and add it again (sorry!).

I have created as much devices as possible, so you can select your own favourites.

WS View supports 2 protocols for Customized upload: Wunderground or Ecowitt. My information about the data to be uploaded is based on my own experience and information from:

Information can be found at: https://support.weather.com/s/article/PWS-Upload-Protocol?language=en_US.

The following data send by the weatherstations is not used, e.g. because this is historical data which is already maintained by Domoticz, or not relevant as sensor:
