I built a lightweight Go container to bridge PWS data to InfluxDB v2 so I could bypass the cloud

I have an AmbientWeather weather station (WS-5000) and was disappointed in the display that came with it. It was too hard to read from across the room. I was already collecting crawlspace and salt hopper data in a locally hosted InfluxDB server, so I thought to make a few weather dashboards using Grafana that I could then show on a 10 inch display with a RaspberryPi on the back.

I hope this can be useful for someone. The project is just the middleware that receives posts from the weather station, and translates them into messages that feed InfluxDB.

If anyone is interested in my grafana dashboards, I’m happy to share the json.

Quickstart and more is in the readme on Github.
