   sudo weectl extension install weewx-wns.zip

   WeeWX from version 5.0 on after WeeWX pip installation into an virtual environment

   source ~/weewx-venv/bin/activate
   weectl extension install weewx-wns.zip

3. enter parameters in the weewx configuration file

   [StdRESTful]
       [[Wns]]
           enable = true
           station = station ID
           api_key = WNS-Kennung
           T5AKT_ = observation type that holds 5cm-temperature
           SOD1D_ = observation type that holfs sunshine duration
           skip_upload = false
           log_url = false
   

4. restart weewx

   for SysVinit systems:

   sudo /etc/init.d/weewx stop
   sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start

   for systemd systems:

   sudo systemctl stop weewx
   sudo systemctl start weewx

Configuration instructions:

• Station ID and WNS-Kennung are mandatory. You get them from the Wetternetz Sachsen administrator.

• Set T5AKT_ = None if you do not measure 5cm temperature. Otherwise give the WeeWX observation type you use for that value.

• Set SOD1D_ to the observation type of sun duration. If you do not have such an observation type set it to None.

• Set TSOI10, TSOI20, and TSOI50 to the appropriate WeeWX observation types if you measure soil temperatures. The number is the depth in cm.

• Set skip_upload to true to do all the calculation and preparation without doing the real upload. This is for testing. Set log_url=true to see what would be uploaded.

• Set log_url to true to log the URL sent to Wetternetz Sachsen to syslog. This is for trouble shooting.
