User guide for making weather station via MQTT work…
Home Assistant:
Weather station via WeewX:
1 STEP:
Set up weather station to the same network as WeewX will be set up and Home Assistant.
To set up EasyWeather use software: WS View
If data is sended to Weather Underground, then weather station is set up… Don’t worry, latter you can delete WU account…
2 STEP:
Set up router DNAT forwarding. To do this under EdgeRouter look pictures down… In other routers just use the same ports and of course your IP settings…
3 STEP:
Install Raspbian to the new docker station or to Raspberry Pi 2, 3 etc…
Download link: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
(use: Raspbian Buster with desktop and recommended software)
4 STEP:
Set up weewX on Raspbian OS.

Before of use my backup files it’s good to install:
1: Install weewx, select ‘Simulator’ driver
http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#installing
2: Download the interceptor driver
wget -O weewx-interceptor.zip https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-interceptor/archive/master.zip
3: Install the driver (at installation choose simulator mode)
sudo wee_extension --install weewx-interceptor.zip
4: Configure the driver
sudo wee_config --reconfigure --driver=user.interceptor --no-prompt
5: Start weewx
sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start
You can download my predefined and ready-to-use WeewX backup… Just rewrite files and run weewX via Terminal command… Also change IP, username etc… where data is sended via MQTT procotol…
Files are located under: /etc/weewx
My complete weewX folder: https://gofile.io/?c=ZoqAsN
(ZIP password: home)
For copying use command…
gksudo in Terminal
pcmanfm on the Run text field. Pressing ok.
5 STEP:
Setup web server… After 5 minutes you should have data in web site of raspberry where weewx runs…
If the server is on the same machine
The reports generated by WeeWX can be served by a web server running on the same computer as WeeWX. These are instructions for making WeeWX reports available via the Apache web server. The process is similar for other web servers such as nginx or lighthttpd.
Install the Apache web server on the computer on which WeeWX is running. For example, on Debian systems:
sudo apt-get install apache2
Configure Apache to see the WeeWX reports.
If WeeWX was installed from DEB or RPM package, no configuration should be necessary since the reports are placed in the directory /var/www/html/weewx, which is in the Apache DocumentRoot directory /var/www/html
If WeeWX was installed using setup.py, you must tell Apache where to find the WeeWX reports. One method is to install an Apache configuration snippet:
sudo cp util/apache/conf.d/weewx.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d
Be sure that the path in the Apache configuration snippet matches the HTML_ROOT defined in the WeeWX configuration file. For example, the path for a default setup.py installation would look like this:
Alias /weewx /home/weewx/public_html
<Directory /home/weewx/public_html>
Options FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
Restart Apache to make the changes happen:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Open the WeeWX URL in a web browser:
http://localhost/weewx
6 STEP:
After copying, set up your data, so edit file under weewx:
weewx.conf
To change desired port:
To set up MQTT, so that data will be sended to Home Assistant. Also here you can set if you still want to receive data in WUnderground etc…
7 STEP:
At the end make backup for just in case of making some restore…

8 STEP:
Now it’s time to set up Home Assistant…
My sensors, so that in lovelace looks like it looks:

sensor.stopnja_padavin_zadnja_ura
sensor.padavine_danes
