Meteoplug allows to feed weather data to a broad range of Internet weather networks. As Meteoplug server gets data from clients at a shortest interval of 10 minutes, sending data more often than every 10 minutes to weather networks does not make sense and is not supported. While most weather networks are not expecting to get data more often then every 10 minutes, there is one exception. Weather Underground offers a so called "rapid fire" mode, where data gets updated every few seconds. Meteoplug support regular Weather Underground mode but does not support "rapid fire" mode.

Table below lists supported weather networks and provides a link to these, where you can further information what the weather network can do for you. To have Meteoplug feeding the network you simply have to select it by setting the check mark near the weather network's name. In most cases you also have to provide also an ID an password which will be given to you when registering at a certain weather network. Depending on weather network data is provided by one of three modes:
−
You can specify upload intervals from every 5 seconds of up to every hour, when you want to keep your outgoing traffic low. Meteobridge makes use of "rapid fire mode" of Weather Underground when data is sent more than once a minute.  
+
* '''Pull''': Data is provided at a certain location at "http://www.meteoplug.com/wnet/xxx/yyy" (where "xxx" is your Meteoplug user name and "yyy" is the file name of generated weather data). Weather networks looks at this location from time to time to read actual weather data of your station. Usually, you have to define the location where to grab your data when setting up an account at the weather network.
 +
* '''Push''': Data is actively transmitted at the given interval to the weather network. This is mostly done by HTTP get request but can also be plain socket connections. In both cases sending station has to identify itself by an ID and password, which will be selected when setting up an account at the weather network.
 +
* '''E-Mail''': Data is send by an email to weather network. Authentification can be done by sender address and or other credentials in the mail.

When you selected an upload interval Meteobridge also needs your Weather Underground user ID and password. The user ID is the one generated by Weather Underground for you (it is not your login account name used for registration at Weather Underground). When you don't have an upload account at Weather Underground so far, please browse to [http://www.wunderground.com/members/signup.asp membership signup] where you get an account to upload data to for free. During the signup process you are given an ID to be used for identifying your station and you can define a password your own. Please don't use special characters in the password as this is known to be error-prone when used in URLs and/or web input fields.

As Meteoplug can handle a lot of sensors from different stations you have to define which sensors to use for reporting data to weather networks. simply select sensor IDs from drop-down lists.

Additionally selected networks will remain visible inside the web interface as long as they have a upload schema defined. When upload is disabled the network will disappear from the web interface and needs to be selected by the drop-down box again, when you want to use it. This helps to keep unneeded entries away from the web interface and prevents you from scrolling long list with items you don't need.

Meteoplug allows to feed weather data to a broad range of Internet weather networks. As Meteoplug server gets data from clients at a shortest interval of 10 minutes, sending data more often than every 10 minutes to weather networks does not make sense and is not supported. While most weather networks are not expecting to get data more often then every 10 minutes, there is one exception. Weather Underground offers a so called "rapid fire" mode, where data gets updated every few seconds. Meteoplug support regular Weather Underground mode but does not support "rapid fire" mode.

Supported Weather Networks

Table below lists supported weather networks and provides a link to these, where you can further information what the weather network can do for you. To have Meteoplug feeding the network you simply have to select it by setting the check mark near the weather network's name. In most cases you also have to provide also an ID an password which will be given to you when registering at a certain weather network. Depending on weather network data is provided by one of three modes:

  • Pull: Data is provided at a certain location at "http://www.meteoplug.com/wnet/xxx/yyy" (where "xxx" is your Meteoplug user name and "yyy" is the file name of generated weather data). Weather networks looks at this location from time to time to read actual weather data of your station. Usually, you have to define the location where to grab your data when setting up an account at the weather network.
  • Push: Data is actively transmitted at the given interval to the weather network. This is mostly done by HTTP get request but can also be plain socket connections. In both cases sending station has to identify itself by an ID and password, which will be selected when setting up an account at the weather network.
  • E-Mail: Data is send by an email to weather network. Authentification can be done by sender address and or other credentials in the mail.

Changes are made effective after having pressed "Save".

Selection of Sensors

As Meteoplug can handle a lot of sensors from different stations you have to define which sensors to use for reporting data to weather networks. simply select sensor IDs from drop-down lists. As a minimum set "outdoor temperature", "outdoor humidity", "pressure" and "wind" need to assigned to valid sensor IDs. Otherwise weather networks will not accept data.

Changes are made effective after having pressed "Save".

Upload Frequency

Meteoplug supports upload frequencies up to every 10 minutes. Available frequencies are 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours.

When upload frequency is more often then data upload interval from client to server, Meteoplug will display a warning, as this will probably not make sense.
