Hi all,
I wish to write a plugin to allow meteohub to gather data from a oil monitor I have.
meteohub detects the device, (its a USB CP210x device) but I am absolutely clueless where to go from there.
Can anyone point me in the right direct. Where to start etc...
Many thanks
Stuart

Re: writing a plugin
Do you have any information about a programming interface for the oil monitor? If there is an API of some kind or documentation on how to read it, then it should be fairly easy to write a meteohub plugin for it. The plugin can be a bash script, a perl script, or my favorite, a gcc c program compiled into a binary. It won't be so easy if you have to reverse engineer the communication protocol.
What meteohub platform are you running on?

I've tried to get some info on the output of the device from the manufacturer but never got any.
I'm running on rpi2.
