Running Weather 34, W34, using my setup, the program "cumulusdata.php" is fetching data from Davis Weatherlink(WL), and are writing the data to a file, type Cumulus. The old way was to fetch the data via a scheduled cronjob.
Doing a small change to "windspeeddirection.php", "updater.php" , and using the latest version of "cumulusdata.php", will do the update with the built in W34 refresh routine instead of cron job.
Thanks to Ken who gave me the hint.

HomeKit bridge with Telldus Live
Updated 2019-03-18 !
Do You have Telldus devices up and running and want them to be visible and used in Apples Home app ?
With some software and a Raspberry Pi(RPi) they will appear in the HomeKit environment.

HomeKit, Trådfri and Gledopto RGB
I bought the Gledopto RGB+CCT LED controller(GO), so I could use RGB LED strips, not just the IKEA ones.
There were some IF:s, which will be scrutinized below, but it worked.

Mac install Apache/PHP WEB-server
Updated 2019-01-07
!! Note !! Before Monterey !!
As a part of one of my projects, the ultimate Weather site ?? Weather34(W34), I needed a WEB-host with PHP and started to use a Raspberry Pi.
In this post You will get some short install tips on Apache with PHP on a Mac with Mojave, macOS 10.14.x, and at the end of the post the W34 installation is done.

Homekit with broadband speed measure
Updated 2019-09-02 !
If you think it's ok that the broadband speed appears as temperature in Home apps this plugin is very nice.
The plugin, used with Homebridge(HB), measures Your broadband speed at chosen intervals. If You use the free app "Eve for Homekit", besides that it shows the last measured broad band speed, it also shows the speed history in a nice graph.

Router as WiFi extender
Extending Your WiFi via cable have the advantage, compared to extending via WFi, that You keep the bandwidth at max. Extending Your WiFi with products that use the same frequencies, as Your WiFi, will just put through 50% of the data flow.
One way to extend the WiFi is with a cheap router, or maybe an old router You don't use any more.

IKEA Trådfri gateway install & HomeKit
Updated 2019-02-05 !
Using Homebridge for a while, getting nice hardware to emulate Apples HomeKit devices, I finally decided to test IKEA:s Trådfri concept.
The actual device that I was interested in is the wireless control outlet. But they have bulbs and other stuff that is really nice priced.
This post will cover an installation of the Trådfri gateway with a HomeKit approach.

Raspbian Jessie to Stretch upgrade
Upgrading from Jessie to Stretch can break the entire system so ALLWAYS do a backup.
There are several sites/posts with "how to" information but the Raspberry site, the Linuxconfig site and the Superuser site, (where You can find more details about the upgrade), made the base for this post.

TP-Link Deco install with ethernet
TP-Link Deco is a smart Mesh system that extends Your WiFi.
It is pretty easy to install but there is no direct information in the install app, Apple or Android, about how to interconnect the Decos with ethernet.
Especially if You must keep the old Router.
Connecting via ethernet is faster and more stable and also necessary if the Decos WiFi can't reach each other.

Boat navigation network
In a former post a I presented our approach to mix a modern NMEA 2000(N2) network with the older Raymarine ST 1 network, installed 2006.
During the Years it has grown and been added with new functions. The pictures to the right is the actual layout.
The first add on was a N2 GPS described here.
