A model OpenWrt citizen

I came across meteobridge today, a weather datalogging software package that sits atop OpenWrt on tiny TP-Link hardware. They sell the hardware too, if you want, but they also tell you how to set up your own hardware and then add the meteobridge package (paid, closed-source) as an overlay.

Structurally it’s very similar to how MiOS is layered on top of OpenWrt.

Perhaps there is something to be learned from their very good Open Source Obligations page.

I am using Meteobridge with a Davis Vantage Pro2 weather station with a WeatherLinkIP data logger and the Meteobridge works great. It is rock solid and uploads data to Weather Underground and PWS Weather. OpenWrt seems like a perfect GNU/Linux distribution to serve as the operating system to run on devices like Vera (and the TP-Link device on which my Meteobridge is installed).
