I have a personal weather station connected to my LAN that provides its info (e.g. temperature, rainfall, humidity) via a web UI. I would like to scrape this info so I can make a better webpage of my own, and keep a record of the daily weather in a spreadsheet.
I know there are scrapers like parsehub and import.io, but they seem to work off the cloud which means they cannot access the websites residing locally on my home network.
What are some of the best ways to scrape content off a local website on a regular basis?

if your site is available with browser, than it is scrapeable on regular basis, because it has a regular internet address, like an IP-address.
Your task seems to me to be pretty simple:
open the web UI of the weather station and
recognize XPath of a site element(s), which you want to scrape. Use Chrome dev.tools->right click->copyXPath
scrape them into Google Spreadsheats and =importXML()
how to scrape with =importxml & Gspreadsheats
