An AmbientWeather API driver for the weewx weather software using JSON.
weewx AmbientWeather API Driver
This is an AmbientWeather API driver for weewx. This will work with any AmbientWeather stations that uploads data to ambientweather.net. I decided to go this route as the only way to get access to some infomration is via the Ambinent Weather API. Since I have a number of external temperature sensors I wrote this driver so I could pull that data into weewx.
This driver uses the AmbientAPI Python3 package to make the API calls.
This driver only works with Weewx 4.0+ and Python3.
