Meteobridge provides some additional "push services", which can distribute weather information to you via email, or to your twitter acoount. When you have email or twitter configured, Meteobridge can send alarms to you when a certain weather condition is met.
+
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.  
−
When you have your ohen web server or MYSQL database server running, Meteobridge can also feed these with weather data.  
+
  
−
The following sections will explain how to setup push services in detail. These options are a bit more for the tech-savvy user, but they are not mandatory for Meteobridge's core task, to feed weather data to weather networks. So you can keep that all switched off, when you don't need it.  
+
Please make use of this in favor to emails, as a wider public can participate of your insights and problem resultion recipes.

===Release Log===
 +
To get the latest relaease running on your rig, just do a reboot or power-cycle.
  
−
===Twitter Upload===
 
−
Meteobridge allows you to send weather data snippets to your twitter account. As twitter requires a bit complicated authentication you will have to run through 6 steps.

====Current Version====
−
File:twitter0.png|1. Press "Request PIN" button.
+
released 6th May 2013:
−
File:twitter2.png|2. An additional window will pop-up (please make sure your browser's pop-up blocker does not block it!) where twitter asks you to log-in to your twitter account.
+
* fixes a bug that still prevents from altimeter pressure being used for CWOP
−
File:twitter2b.png|3. Please log-in and copy the pin that twitter does present to you.
+
−
File:twitter4.png|4. Switch back to Meteobridge page and Insert pin into input field next to "Activate PIN" button and press this button.
+
−
File:twitter3.png|5. Finally, insert message text that Meteobridge should tweet and set upload interval and retry count and press save to make these settings permanent. If Authentification with twitter does fail, you can start process with pressing "Request new PIN" from the start.
+
−
File:twitter5.png|6. To fill message text with weather data and/or a timestamp, you can make use of Meteobridge variables as explained in [[Templates]] section. Example above is a result of this message text: <font face="Courier"><span style="background-color:lightgrey;">[hh]:[mm]h Outdoor temp: [th0temp-act=F.1:--]°F </span></font face>
+
−

+
  
−
===Individual HTTP Upload===
 
−
Data will be sent as HTTP GET requests with URL parmeters you can define to your liking. Parameters of a URL consist of name-value pairs seperated by '&'. You can define names yourself and can use a certain set of variables provided by Meteobridge to be used as values. Variable names will be automatically replaced by their current values, each time a HTTP request is sent. Please have a look at the example below.
 
  
 +
====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
  
−
[[file:http-upload.png]]
 
  
 +
====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.
  
−
Upload schedule is defined to every 10 seconds. URL specifies server address, where to deliver data ("http://myserver.com/upload.php" in the example above). "Success Condition" allows to specify a matching string which is compared to to the return message from the server to decide if upload was successful or not.
+
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
  
−
Weather data is transported to the server by means of URL parameters. Meteobridge provides a large set of variables that can be used to feed URL parameters with current sensor data. Section [[Templates]] will explain how to use these variables to fill URL parameters with recent sensor data.
+
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.
  
−
===Individual MYSQL Uploads===
+
====Version 1.2====
−
When you prefre to store your weather station's data in your own MYSQL database, Meteobridge can feed sensor data to it in a very easy way. Just state
+
released 29th March 2013:
−
* '''Host''': server name or IP of server when DNS can' resolv the name
+
includes all previous updates, plus
−
* '''Port''': port number where to reach MYSQL database on your server
+
* adds signal strength to SSID drop-down list
−
* '''Database''': name of database to feed
+

−
* '''User''': name of database user to use for data upload
+
−
* '''Password''': passwrod for user name.
+
−
* '''Query''': payload that should be sent to the database. Query usually contains a MSQL insert statement followed by a table name and a list of column names and values. The query ist subject to template replacement, so you can use Meteobridge variables to upload weather data to your database.
+
  
 +
minor updates, added on 17th March 2013:
 +
* make remote login for support services an option that a user can permanently disable
 +
* adds better support for Vantage extra sensors

minor updates, added on 11th March 2013:
 +
* additional system variables as described in section [[Templates#System Variables]]
  
−
Query <font face="Courier"><span style="background-color:lightgrey;">insert upload (temp, wind) values ([th0temp-act.1:-9999], [wind0wind-act=kmh.1:-9999])</span></font face> in example above stores actual outdoor temperature to field "temp" of table "upload" of database "test". Field "wind" is filled with current non averaged wind speed in km/h. When temperature or wind data is not there a value of -9999 is stored.
+
minor updates, added on 9th March 2013:
 +
