Before you decide to go the meteobridge way you might be interesting to understand a bit more what to expect from meteobridge right now, what is planned for coming releases and what meteobridge will not be able to do for you.
+
__NOTOC__
 +
Meteobridge is a device that is easy to use and which should not raise a demand for extensive support. However, there is a forum, where you can share experiences, questions, wishes with other users.

==Implemented Features==
+
Please make use of this in favor to emails, as a wider public can participate of your insights and problem resultion recipes.  
−
* Meteobridge device is completely managed by your PC's browser, you don't have to install any additional software on your PC.
+
−
* Meteobridge connects to your LAN or to your WLAN.
+
−
* Supported WLAN types are be 802.11n, 802.11g, or 802.11b.
+
−
* All main WLAN encryption standards are supported (WEP, WPA, WPA2).
+
−
* When your LAN/WLAN is behind a proxy, Meteobridge can be configured to use the proxy instead of trying to directly connect to the Internet.
+
−
* Your weather data will be directly send to Weather Underground, no one else will receive this.
+
−
* Meteobridge can be used for free during a 14 day tryout period. After that a one-time licensing of the device is necessary to use it further on. Licensing can be done via Paypal with a few clicks oder by a license key to be entered manually.
+
−
* Meteobridge supports a broad range of weather stations. Please see Chapter "Stations" to get more details on this.
+
−
* Meteobridge web interface is secured by a password you can change.
+
−
* Meteobridge can be resetted to default network behavior and default passwords with the unit's reset button. So you should never be stalled, whatever you did wrong when configuring the network parameters or changing passwords.
+
−
* There is an Internet application that allows you to make a network configuration for your meteobridge device without having that running yet. Configuration can be downloaded to USB stick and when starting Meteobridge device with this stick plugged in, it will use the stored configuration for startup. This is a significant simplification when setting up meteobridge as a WLAN device or in non-DHCP LAN environments.

==Planned Features==

Forum is part of Meteohub Forum: [http://forum.meteohub.de/viewforum.php?f=54&sid=c8736ec03d0ef75afa55c16f324623bd Meteobridge Forum]
−
Please keep in mind that features marked as planned in this section, are not guaranteed to show up. Nevertheless, it might be interesting for you to at least get an idea, what next steps in development to expect.
+
−
* Support for additional weather networks
+
−
* Upload of data to user defined URLs via HTTP request and/or FTP
+
−
* providing live weather data in the LAN, to allow widgets on PCs in LAN to make use of these
+

==Blacklisted Features==
+
===Release Log===
−
The characteristic of the device does also bring some limitations you should be aware of.
+
To get the latest relaease running on your rig, just do a reboot or power-cycle.
−
* Hardware provides 4 MB of flash and 32 MB RAM. This is very very limited, so don't expect large additional applications which might for example display graphs locally to be able to run on this.
+
 
−
* Meteobridge clients will not store gathered weather data locally. The most recent data to be transmitted to Weather Underground is available plus some min/max values. Beside that, no data will be stored locally.
+
 
 +
====Current Version====
 +
released 6th May 2013:
 +
* fixes a bug that still prevents from altimeter pressure being used for CWOP
 +
 
 +
 
 +
====Version 1.4====
 +
released 3rd May 2013:
 +
* Dutch language support (translations provided by user "Wim")
 +
* changed gust value for weatherbug network to "todays max gust"
 +
* fixes a unit conversion problem with evapotranspiration on solar sensor equipped vantage weather stations
 +
* fixes the low humdity bug for CWOP data transfers
 +
 
 +
 
 +
====Version 1.3====
 +
released 21th April 2013:
 +
* fixes a stability bug on new LOOP2 supporting Davis Vantage drivers
 +
* has some modules included to allow 3G modem support based on Huawei's E160 adapter (still experimental and to be formally released in one of the coming versions, profiles for "t-mobile.de" and "vodafone.de" do exist for testing purposes)
 +
* a new firmare release (version 1.2) is ready for download (in "getting started" section). This firmware is only needed when aiming at 3G operation.
 +
 
 +
released 13th April 2013:
 +
* added support for LOOP2 packets when using a Davis Vantage or Vue with firmware 1.90 or newer. This makes barometer readings more precise and better in sync with Vantage console.
 +
* fixes a problem with send email authentification
 +
 
 +
released 7th April 2013:
 +
* fxing a bug uploading average windspeed to previmeteo
 +
* reduce timeout for mysql connection setup to 6 seconds
 +
* moving static reserve LAN IP from 192.168.1.111 to 192.168.168.111 to avoid routing conficts with typical user class c networks when switching to wlan
 +
* removing evapotranspiration values (which did appear randomly) from solar sensor data, if not Vantage station.
 +
* adding a display that shows how much of internal data send buffer is currently occupied (system tab)
 +
* reducing memory footprint of data send process to avoid triggering oom linux mechanisms
 +
* doing a reboot in case of oom situations by issueing a kernel panic instead of trying to stop some applications via oom_killer.
 +
* added support for generation of wind direction strings in German (dedir) and English (endir) within templates.
 +
 
 +

 +
released 29th March 2013:
 +
includes all previous updates, plus
 +
* adds signal strength to SSID drop-down list
 +
* fixes a configuration bug that prevents from reading data from WS2300 type stations
 +
 
 +
