I'm the one that integrated the One Wire Weather (OWW) daemon with
Xastir.  That's the daemon that puts out the Arne Henriksen format.

Do a search on "one wire weather" or "OWW" or similar.  The docs for
that program and a bit of playing with it were sufficient for me to
figure out how to talk to it.
