Ventus W820 bluetooth driver and weewx connector

The Ventus W820 is a bluetooth enabled weather station. This repository provides a library to read the values of the sensors and a driver for the weewx weather station software

The library requires bluepy for the BLE communication

Project website: http://daduke.org/coding/ventus.html

How to use it:

  • install bluepy
  • ventus.py is the low level library that talks to the weather station, copy it to a standard python library path (e.g. /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
  • ventusw820.py is the weewx driver, it goes into the weewx driver directory
  • define your Ventus station in the weewx config file:
[W820]
    # This section is for the Ventus W820 weather station.

    # MAC address of bluetooth interface
    mac = <your W820 bluetooth MAC address goes here>

    # The driver to use:
    driver = weewx.drivers.ventusw820

    polling_interval = 60
  • define your default station as a W820:
station_type = W820

that's it! Contact me if you have any questions.
