What is wview?

wview is a collection of unix daemons which interface with a supported weather station to retrieve archive records (if generated by the station) and current conditions.

wview will generate archive records based on the sensor readings collected for that interval. The archive records are stored in an SQLite3 database. At a configurable interval wview will utilize the archive history and current conditions to generate weather images (buckets, dials and graphs) and HTML web pages based on user-configurable HTML templates. Other types of file generation are supported including PHP, XML, python, etc. to support custom web site designs.

Features:

  • 24x7x365 reliability.
  • Fast image and HTML/XML file generation.
  • Non-GUI, headless, lightweight (size and resources).
  • Embeddable - can be deployed on low-power embedded systems such as the Linksys NSLU2 or the SheevaPlug.
  • Multi-Lingual - HTML/XML templates, labels and text.
  • US (Imperial) or Metric Units - can be easily configured for metric or US units of measure.
  • SQLite Archive Storage - archive data is stored in an SQLite3 relational database.
  • Remote Upload - web pages and images can be transferred to a remote web host server via an ftp or secure ssh process included with wview.
  • Alarms - the wview alarm daemon wvalarmd can be enabled to deliver current conditions to TCP socket clients as a near real-time data feed engine. wvalarmd can also be configured to function as a weather data alarm generator to user specified scripts or binaries.
  • CWOP - can be configured to submit data to CWOP.
  • Wunderground - can be configured to submit data to Wunderground.
  • WeatherForYou - can be configured to submit data to WeatherForYou.
  • Awekas - can be configured to submit data to Awekas.
  • RSS Feeds - processes XML template files and includes a default weather data RSS feed template.
