Does anyone know of a FOSS weather station? I have a Linux based home computer lab and I want to be able to track atmospheric pressure, temperature, and wind specifically. It would be nice to be able to detect rain as well if possible.

So I need both a server to have on linux, PLUS the weather station. Does anyone have any recommendations? I strongly prefer large amounts of open documentation as well.

Thank you!

I used wview for years, and published a couple of weather stations publically. Sadly that looks to be abandoned now.

Nowadays I just run Home Assistant and combine an anenometer, a rain tip gauge and about a million different temperature sensors into that, mostly with 8266's running Esphome to collect and forward that data. It's a fun and cheap little hobby if you like collecting data. The gauge and anenometer were off aliexpress for about £5 each, the esps about the same, and temp sensors less than a quid each. All software foss of course, and uses almost no resources so can run on any linux server.
