So basically I am needing another Raspberry Pi 4 and as you know they're not in stock basically anywhere. I've got one currently running for light duties that can be shifted to OpenWRT (Meteobridge)

Anyone have a TP-Link TL-MR3020 v3 or a TL-WR902AC v3 (note the v3 as this has 8mb of flash memory) hanging around? Flick me how much you want.

Thanks!

Would you consider a Pi 3B for the same role? I have one of those I could part with... looks like you can spin up Meteobridge on that though?

Meteohub/Meteobridge is limited to a very restricted, mostly obsolete, hardware subset, and in particular the Pi version hasn't been maintained since the original Pi 3 came out, it won't even run on a 3B without some hair-raising kernel hackery (I think the post on it called it a Frankenkernel).

You're much better off running WeeWX, does everything the Meteo software does and more, and you can run it on almost anything.

Cheers - forgot to update but it is all sorted now though!

Fully agree. The weather station sits on my IoT network and remember I had issues with WeeWx in the past due to that. These days I've got a proxmox cluster and can just pass the VLAN through to a container (and will actually do that) but for now have a Meteobridge license / setup and have been feeding a bunch of different endpoints weather data - it works however a bit pointless as it is currently running on a Pi 4 that I can use for another project :)
