+Custom weather station support
+------------------------------
+
+This program supports custom weather station data by allowing the user
+to specify the path to an external Python program. The external Python
+program should emit its data in the form expected by infoex-autowx.
+
+This is a powerful feature which enables the user to upload data from
+any source imaginable into InfoEx. Common examples are a local database
+or a remote web page which requires some custom parsing.
+
+Please see the program located at examples/custom-wx.example.py for a
+complete description of what's required.

A note on supported measurements
--------------------------------
be ignored (i.e. it will NOT log "0" when there's no measurement
available).
-
InfoEx provides a mechanism for inspecting your automated weather
station data, so use that after setting this program up and compare it
with the data you see in your web browser.

+**Custom Wx program**
+*infoex-autowx expects a custom Wx data provider to provide at least one
+of the following:*
+precipitationGauge
+tempPres
+tempMaxHour
+tempMinHour
+hS
+baro
+rH
+windSpeedNum
+windDirectionNum
+windGustSpeedNum
