I'm trying to find out how my smartphone communicates with my weather station, since i have no documentation and want to try and get the data my self. The weather station or smartphone only needs to be on the same LAN for the smartphone to show the weather stations data. No internet connection is required, so i therefore assume that they communicate directly. Furthermore i know the weather station has an API which isn't publically available yet.
To be able to see the packages going between the two, i set up a wifi hotspot using my PC's wifi. I then connected both the weather station and the smartphone to that network, and setup the smartphone to connect to the weather stations given ip address.. This works. I can see the smartphone recieves data from it. So far so good.
Then i simply thought it was just setting wireshark to listen to the created virtual wifi adapter (called Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter). I then set the ip.src==smartphoneIP and ip.dst==weatherStationIP .. But it never seems to communicate? I also tried swapping the two, but i cant seem to find the packages im searching for. What am i missing?
