Support for weewx mqtt
The skin supports live updates for the stat tiles of the alternative layout and the table of the classic layout on the front page. This is done via MQTT, a machine to machine protocoal used by your WeeWX installation to send LOOP data to a broker (eg. Mosquitto). The website will connect to that Message Broker (via a protocal called WebSockets) and will wait for new messages (LOOP data) to arrive.
To enable this on the website, modify the skin.conf secti0on to your brokers data:
[[mqtt]]
mqtt_websockets_enabled = 0
mqtt_websockets_host = "mqtt.host.com"
mqtt_websockets_port = 9001
mqtt_websockets_ssl = 0
mqtt_websockets_topic = "weather/loop"
For topic, you should choose the topic where your loop data get published to, defaults to weather/loop.
For weewx-mqtt, Iam using this configuration override:
[[MQTT]]
server_url = mqtt://...
topic = weather
unit_system = METRIC
binding = loop
[[[inputs]]]
[[[[windSpeed]]]]
format = %.0f
[[[[windGust]]]]
format = %.0f
Once connected, you should see this success message.
