See the Extensions wiki page for a very large number of additional software packages that can be added to weewx.
Extensions serve a variety of purposes, for example:
- drivers to use weather stations as primary sources
- data services to get additional data, from sensors or the cloud
- uploaders to send data elsewhere
- skins to present data on web pages
See the Software for Use with weewx wiki page for software intended to be used with weewx, that is not a weewx extension.
