Thanks/herman

It is not in the supported Weather Station list in the WiKI https://cumuluswiki.org/a/Supported_Devices

But it says
export data in .csv or .xls
ability to export data to a Web service Weather Underground and Weathercloud
You should be able to feed it data via the EasyWeather.dat file interface which is supported by MX https://cumuluswiki.org/a/EasyWeather_F ... eather.dat

thanks,

I'll look into the Garni to PC USB connection to see if I can create an EasyWeather.dat file.

Would there be another, supported basestation that works with my 6-in-1 sensor?

I connected the 935PC to my Win10 computer (as I have been doing since I own it), but all I can do there is download the weather data with help of the Garni-supplied Weather Tool. I do not see the 935PC as an accessible disk station. Would there be any way to retrieve data from it on the Raspberry. Unfortunately, I am totally Linux ignorant.
BTW, my 6-in-1 sensor is an 868MHz one.

I am sorry I have no idea as I have no experience of this weather station. Most suppliers of USB attachable Weather Stations usually supply Windows programs to access the data, but because of the range of Unix/Linux builds available it us unlikely they would supply a Unix/Linux compatible version.

When I made my comments about EasyWeather.dat I assumed you would be using Windows of some flavour and taking the output .csv file in order to create a EasyWeather.dat file.

It is also most unlikely, because of the proprietary nature of Weather Stations that the protocol of the data output is going to match any console already supported, hence you inability to connect it to CumulusMX.

It is also most unlikely that the Garni protocol will be added to CumulusMX unless they would be willing to give a free Weather Station to the developer so it can be investigated and tested, plus he is already very busy adding additional other features to MX.
