wview For Mac

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

The stations currently supported are: ·Davis Vantage Pro/Pro2 Console Controller ·Vaisala WXT-510 Controller ·La Crosse WS-2300/2305/2310/2315 Controller ·Weather Station Simulator ·Weather Web Site Generator ·Weather Alarm Processor/Data Feed Engine ·Citizen Weather Observer Program (CWOP) Client ·Weather Underground Client

·wviewd - the station interface daemon. Communicates via serial/ethernet/USB interface to obtain current conditions and archive records. ·htmlgend - the HTML and image generation daemon. Communicates with wviewd and reads archive records generated by wviewd to create the weather images and HTML pages. ·wviewsqld - the optional SQL archiving daemon. Synchronizes an SQL table to all WLK weather data records found in /var/wview/archive. Updates the table as new archive records are generated. ·wvalarmd - the alarm processing daemon. Communicates with wviewd to receive current weather data values. Listens on port 11011 for data feed socket connections, sends current weather data to socket clients, and processes user-defined alarms. ·wvcwopd - the CWOP client daemon. Transmits CWOP data to an APRS server based on the configuration found in wvcwop.conf. ·wvhttpd - the HTTP submission daemon. Transmits data to wunderground/weatherforyou servers based on the configuration found in wvhttp.conf. ·wviewftpd - the FTP transfer daemon. Transfers image and HTML files to a remote server based on the configuration found in wviewftp.conf. ·wviewsshd - the rsync/ssh transfer daemon. Transfers image and HTML files to a remote server based on the configuration found in wviewssh.conf.

If the station does not generate archive records internally, wview will auto-generate archive records based on the sensor readings collected for that interval. The archive records are stored in the Davis WLK file format (thus Weatherlink-generated archive files can often be used by wview).

At a configurable interval, wview will utilize the archive history and current conditions to generate weather images (dials, buckets, and graphs) and HTML web pages based on user-configurable HTML templates.

wview has been successfully deployed on many OS and hardware platforms including Mac OSX (Darwin), PowerPC (Mac), Linux, FreeBSD, i386, and ARM.
