WeatherStation Bresser WSX3001

Configuration
1

Hi there

Is it possible to integrate the called weatherstation to HomeAssistant?

It sends the data to AWEKAS

I’m just asking before I buy it.

There don’t seem to be any integrations which would handle this process in a nifty way (have just bought a bresser and am struggling myself).
As to whether it’s possible →
Bresser seems to integrate with a seemingly low-key online/cloud website ProWeatherLive where you can set up an account and have your data synced up to. Again, that one don’t seem to have any nifty integrations towards home assistant either but once it’s online you can of course set-up a scraping system to bring it down to your local HA. It just requires quite a lot of elbow grease.

I have a WSX1001 5 in 1. Currently running 2022.11, I use the cytech/Home-Assistant-wundergroundpws (GitHub - cytech/Home-Assistant-wundergroundpws: Home Assistant custom component sensor for Weather Underground personal weather station users) custom component. Via this custom component, provided you set up your PWS in Weather Underground, you can create an api key and then you can access your weather station data in Home Assistant via the custom component. Entities sometimes unavailable as update fixed at 5 mins.

I can actually confirm that @Gowah8 's method works

Can i ask how you add your station to the Underground account?

The method is described in the manual for my weather station (a Bresser 5 in 1). You need to go to https://www.wunderground.com and click “Join” to open registration page to enter personal user data and “Sign Up”. Then follow further steps and add your weather station details under the menu point ‘Sensor Network’ > ‘Connect a Weather Station’ . A ‘Station ID’ and ‘Station Key/ Password’ will be automatically generated which are need for the later configuration of your weather station.

Cool. I tried to enter the station id and key from underground in my stations configuration (192.168.1.1) but it still showed up as offline.
I only gave it a couple of hours, maybe that was not enough?

As i see it when i add it to undergeound then i cant use the Proweatherlive app anymore right?

I presume your weather station base station is added to your home network. Also, have you included the following in your configuration.yaml:

# WeatherUnderground
wundergroundpws:
  api_key: # YOUR API KEY #
  pws_id: #YOUR PERSONAL WEATHER STATION ID#
  numeric_precision: none

In addition to checking your PWS is broadcasting to WeatherUnderground, you can also use the Android app WSView Plus to display a WeatherUnderground Dashboard

Thank you for answer

My station can only send info to Pro weather live. But from that i can send it to Wunderground, so got it working.

There is a version 2 of the integration that is more like a integration, so you dont need the code in config and it show up in integrations.
So worth updating for you :slight_smile:

v2 sounds nice . where to get it?

tnx Hans

ok found it . v2 branch
GitHub - cytech/Home-Assistant-wundergroundpws at v2.X.X

Works fine with my 5-in-1 Bresser station on Wundergound. Installation is easy, I used Samba to unpack the files, and it does not require any config files editing.
Entities appear after adding the PWS integration (not sure the restart of HA was required after copying the file, but it helped seeing the PWS integration!).
