   [StdRESTful]
       [[Wns]]
           enable = true
           station = station ID
           api_key = WNS-Kennung
           T5AKT_ = observation type that holds 5cm-temperature
           SOD1D_ = observation type that holfs sunshine duration
           skip_upload = false
           log_url = false

Configuration instructions:

• Station ID and WNS-Kennung are mandatory. You get them from the Wetternetz Sachsen administrator.

• Set T5AKT_ = None if you do not measure 5cm temperature. Otherwise give the WeeWX observation type you use for that value.

• Set SOD1D_ to the observation type of sun duration. If you do not have such an observation type set it to None.

• Set skip_upload to true to do all the calculation and preparation without doing the real upload. This is for testing. Set log_url=true to see what would be uploaded.

• Set log_url to true to log the URL sent to Wetternetz Sachsen to syslog. This is for trouble shooting.
