I have a Bloomsky Weather station and I was wondering if support could be added to Indilib/Ekos for it. They are GIVING them away to those who would fill out a form here: community.bloomsky.com. Its how I got mine! Its really a nice station and includes a camera and solar panel for power. You can see my weather station data here: map.bloomsky.com/weather-stations/gqBxp6apnJSnnJW3

They recently started the developers program and the info for that is available here: weatherlution.com/bloomsky-api/ - Looks like data is returned from the device in a JSON format..

Looks interesting. I tried to fill in the form but maybe its finished now (or not available from Ireland). I would write a driver if I could get a free station

I wrote an indi driver for a weather station that has a json API. Maybe it could help someone. github.com/dokeeffe/cloud-rain-monitor

Also, INDI WunderGround driver uses JSON API, so you can copy it and customize it for your BloomSky. Let us know if you get it working!

Oh yea good point Actually I copied the INDI WunderGround driver for my one. Probably a safer bet to use the WunderGround codebase than my one

Awesome, let me see what I can cobble together Is this still the best way to get the source and start writing?

I have kstars-bleeding installed on ubuntu 16.04, if I download the source and compile/install, do I need to be aware of anything? I assume the source version and kstars-bleeding versions can co-exist? Not really a software guy here. I know just enough to be dangerous
