  AI-Generated Summary:

  • [Vinnie] created an offline weather station using a Raspberry Pi and RTL-SDR to receive 915 MHz signals from an Ecowitt WS90 sensor, which measures wind, temperature, humidity, light, UV, and rain.
  • The base station features a weatherproof enclosure with a 12V battery and Raspberry Pi that decodes sensor data using the rtl_433 library and converts it into structured JSON for processing.
  • The system includes a local weather model backend and dashboard, operating without internet, tracking sensor trends and station health via a custom API.
