I finally got my weather station published to the web. Thanks to wview and Davis, you can see the temperature at my house. The install went fairly easily, with just one non-rpm'ed/yum prerequisite (radlib) requiring an install from source, along with wview. The first install didn't connect to sqlite correctly, but I fixed that with a fresh install and skipping wview's Davis-station specific setup. I am also considering migrating to Debian, but that's another topic.
I love the data views that wview provides. It shows trends at a glance that weather.com, NOAA, and NWS don't. Even online weather airport stations have no view that will let you see a trend -- they're all snapshots. With wview, I can tell when the temperature-dewpoint spread is closing.
The best part -- I can collect the data. I can export to MySQL. I can collect solar radiation stats to see if solar panels make sense at my location.
Next: Dial-in weather with Asterisk and Cepstral.
