CMX Control of devices

Post by KF0KFL-13 »

I've been running CMX off of my Libre Computer https://libre.computer/products/aml-s905x-cc-v2/ for a while now. I know these SBCs can do a lot of cool things like adjusting LED lights, controlling servo, ect. I was wondering if there's anything out there weather related that utilizes CMX. If so, I'd love to see some examples and how you did it.

Thanks in advance.

I think one of the main "automation" programs out there is Home Assistant (HA). Once you forward your weather data to HA, then the worlds your oyster as they say as to what you do with it.

Many people use MQTT to get the data into HA because they already run that service for other "things", but you can get HA to poll CMX for the data as well: See this post today - viewtopic.php?p=189615#p189615

Hopefully someone who uses HA will chip in - I just play a round with it.

It may be worth having a search of the wxforum, there are quite a few HA users on there, there may be old posts of interest, and you may get more response on there if you have questions.
