Release Log

To get the latest release running on your rig, just do a reboot or power-cycle. Chapters below illustrate new features and bug fixes that have been realized in current and previous releases.

Version 4.3

released February 8, 2020

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: allows period parameter of "export.cgi" script to specify a range. Example: "period=20191201-20200115" specifies range from Dec 1, 2019 until Jan 15, 2020 (end date is excluded so it is effectively until 23:59 Jan 14, 2020).

released February 1, 2020

expands conversion options of template variables by a generic factor/offset model. Example: "[th0temp-act=f0,5+3,5:-]" returns the current outdoor temperate in degrees Fahrenheit but multiplies the result with 0.5 (factor) and adds 3.5 (offset) to it. If factor or offset contain decimals, these need to be written with a comma "," instead of the dot "." because the dot has a special meaning when used with template variables. Factors and offsets can also be applied to export and chart definitions.

released January 30, 2020

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: "export.cgi" script can now handle url encoded parameters.

Version 4.2

released January 28, 2020

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a newly introduced bug which prohibited WSWIN style data exports.

released January 25, 2020

adds Italian language support

released January 24, 2020

adds two buttons for remote login feature. "Open URL" does open a new browser window/tab based on the remote login link, "Copy URL" copies the remote link into the clipboard.

released January 23, 2020

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: allows to feed "export.cgi" function with a template string instead of a pre-defined template file. Please keep in mind that these templates are used for mass data export from the database and they are not providing the conversion features known from the regular templates. Example: export.cgi?period=202001&resolution=day&template=[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD],[epoch],[th0temp-avg.1:],[th0temp-min.1:],[th0temp-max.1:],[th0hum-avg.0:] returns the data on the right.

released January 19, 2020

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: makes data export function available from the web interface by calling "http://ip-of-your-meteobridge/cgi-bin/export.cgi?period=202001&resolution=hour&template=standard-iso.exp". This reports content of the database according to the template definition "standard-iso.exp" (from template folder) for the month January 2020 in hourly resolution.
improves reliability of data sending process by monitoring the corresponding thread

released January 18, 2020

adds weather network "Wetterwarte Sued"

released January 12, 2020

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a rain total bug when requesting data exactly at the beginning of a new hour.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: enhances HTML generation service by allowing to use special characters like "\n" when using template string instead of a template file.

released January 11, 2020

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes display bug of rain totals on "History" tab

released January 8, 2020

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds web folder "http://ip-of-your-meteobridge/public/html" where files located in "html" folder on the Meteobridge PC network share are delivered by the Meteobridge web server.

released January 6, 2020

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug on importing Meteohub raw data, where temperatures were partly import wrong by factor 10 when they were below zero.

released January 4, 2020

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug on importing Meteohub raw data, where sea level pressure was imported wrong by factor 10.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug where addressing data back into last year with "@Mx" selector points into the void.
adds new sensor "wind0maxdir" that reports wind direction of maximum gust in the requested time frame. Example: [wind0maxdir-dmax:-] reports wind direction of todays maximum gust. [wind0maxdir-dmax=endir:-] does the same but reports as a text like "NWN" instead of degrees north. New "wind0maxdir" data starts being collected from installation of this version on, so it will not work back into the past.

released January 2, 2020

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds a service that generates HTML and text files based on a template file or a directly specified template description. Resulting file is stored in the "html" folder on the PC network share of the Meteobridge.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes an issue where most recent per minute data is not reflected in the hourly min/max or rain totals until the current hour has been finished.
fixes a bug that cuts off filenames after a blank when doing an FTP upload.

released December 10, 2019

released December 4, 2019

fixes a bug that prints out the wrong name of month when using [MMM] template variable in path names.

released November 23, 2019

fixes a startup problem with Italian provider Vodafone which automatically redirects some HTTP requests to HTTPS at a time when Meteobridge does not have the HTTPS enabled components downloaded. Symptom is that Meteobridge PRO did stay stuck to its current SW version although being told to download newest from Internet during boot.

released November 22, 2019

adds support for additional temp/hum sensors to station Ventus W835.

released November 18, 2019

fixes a bug in regard to weather station "Lufft WS-700" where a lot of warnings have been reported in the logs.

released November 16, 2019

expands maximum size of URLs used for individual HTTP uploads from 4000 to 8000 characters.
adds soil min/average/max soil temperature values for day/month/year when uploading to awekas weather network (needs a Davis Vantage station).

released November 7, 2019

fixes a freshly introduced bug when uploading via sftp.

released November 5, 2019

fixes a bug in resolving date/time information in the target file name when uploading "lastexport" or "lastchart" files via FTP.
updates support for Lufft WS10 weather station.

released October 28, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug regarding syncing of databases when passing over a daylight savings change. Symptom was that database does not store new values as it is stuck in an endless loop.

released October 26, 2019

fixes a bug regarding gust speed when uploading via "WL Cloud" and using an old Davis console firmware (pre 1.90).

released October 25, 2019

changed upload to "WL Cloud" weather network from HTTP PUT to HTTP POST for better compatibility between different Meteobridge platforms (especially to support MR3020 v1).
adds support for old (pre 1.9 version firmware, which does not provide LOOP2 packets) on "WL Cloud" weather network upload.

released October 22, 2019

some bug fixes on WL CLoud network support.

released October 13, 2019

fixes a bug regarding rain reporting for weather network "Meteomap Cloud" on some stations.

released October 12, 2019

reduces upload buffer size for Meteoplug Cloud network on systems with 32 MB RAM only. This is to avoid stalls/reboots on MR3020, MR3040, WR703N because of too low available RAM when buffers have filled up over time.

released October 6, 2019

adds support for a new personal weather data upload service named "WL Cloud". This feature is only available for Meteobridges connected to a Davis data logger (Console or Envoy, not Envoy8x). It directly uploads data from the logger (not data from the Meteobridge) to an URL of your liking. Data consists of LOOP, HILOWS and DMPAFT data sets as provided from the Davis logger. Upload format is similar (and might be compatible) to what Davis uses to feed their weatherlink network. To have your web server ready for receiving the data, please use this perl code, which stores uploaded packet content on your server in separate files for further processing. Code is very simple and provides some comments to understand what kind of data is stored in the files. Feel free to use this code and change/distribute as you like.

Version 4.1

released October 5, 2019

changes time stamp for meteoclimatic uploads to "UTC" by dropping the "UPD" line.
fixes bug in "APM" selector for "moonrise" and "moonset" variables.

released October 3, 2019

adds UTC data to uploads to weather network meteoclimatic.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes not showing rain total data in graph on history tab.
has all images converted to GIF to free up some RAM.
gives a bit more RAM headroom for platforms MR3020, MR3040 and WR703N when not using "Acurite Bridge" as weather station. This is to compensate for using new, bigger openssl libs to support TLS-only HTTPS uploads on those platforms.

released September 21, 2019

fixes a bug that made version 4.1 not working properly on the less often used TL-MR3040 platform.
adds support for Ventus W835 weather station which provides live data via USB.

released September 14, 2019

adds support soil temp and soil moisture sensor types for GW1000 station

released September 8, 2019

adds weather network Meteomap.cloud with a focus on weather maps and weather station data sites.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds chart template "allinone-wind1st-iso" which is a variant of "allinone-iso" with wind data on the top.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: template variable selector "nonzerotime" does now withstand a restart of the logger process.

released September 4, 2019

fixes below mentioned issue for Meteobridge on TL-MR3040 platform.

released August 31, 2019

fixed an issue where TL-WR703N systems do not load complete application stack of version 4.1. This has been caused by a tmpfs overflow because of downloading new openssl libs in order to allow HTTPS traffic to websites supporting TLS only (no SSL).

released August 28, 2019

"template.cgi" endpoint does not return HTTP error codes 503 and 504 if template cannot be evaluated for any reason. This makes it more easy for a reading processes to react correctly.

released August 27, 2019

fixes a twitter openssl issue introduced with the previous release.

released August 25/26, 2019

updates openssl and wget support on MR3020 and Meteobridge PRO platform to handle HTTPS targets that do no longer support SSL (but only TLS) due to security concerns. Previous error message "OpenSSL: Error ... reason(1040)" should be resolved by this.

released August 19/20, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds the concept of meta charts to the graphing engine. Meta charts can easily be build by users and by that allow for easy creation of individual charts. Please read here about more details: https://www.meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/PRO_Graphs#Meta_Chart_Definition

released August 16, 2019

when computing sunrise, sunset and daylength data the current day is determined by using local time instead of UTC.
adds "daysum", "monthsum" and "yearsum" as selectors for template variables in export definitions. This allows for example to sum up daily rain in an export file that has rows in an hourly resolution.

released August 15, 2019

changes automated payment method from "PayPal" to "MyCommerce". This gives you more flexibility on payment options. When transaction is done, you get a license key to be manually entered on "License" tab and saved. Having done that, Meteobridge needs to be restarted to come up licensed. Update licenses to purchase additional 2 years of SW updates are handled the same way.

Version 4.0

released August 11/14/15, 2019

Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug that stalls logger operation when Davis Weatherlink Live has once been selected as station.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds reset button to local HWS dashboard to allow a fresh install of the dashboard in case code has not been completely installed or is corrupted.

released August 10, 2019

adds support for additional air quality sensors for GW1000 station. Up to 4 air quality sensors are now supported.

released August 8, 2019

fixes the rainfall issue when using Davis Weatherlink Live.
fixes a bug that does only sporadically upload wind gust data to AWEKAS weather network when using fast link option.

released August 6, 2019

adds a field "Station ID" to weather network Windy to allow feed multiple stations within one Windy account. Default station id is "0".
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug on wind speed import from WSWIN export files.

released August 4, 2019

Meteobridge is now available for the TP-Link WR902AC Version 3.x router. Preparing_Hardware#Flashing_Meteobridge_Firmware_to_TL-WR902AC_(version_3.x) section explains how to make a Meteobridge out of the WR902ACv3 standard router. Meteobridge supports the 2.4 GHz WLAN but not the 5 GHz mode. Flashing needs to be done by a TFTP server (as with MR3020 Version 3.x). Currently, there is no VM available that has the necessary TFTP service enabled, so you will have to set this up on your PC on your own.

released July 27, 2019

fixes a bug when uploading data to "Wetterring" network, where max pressure of the month has been falsely reported as max pressure of the day.
adds support for more sensors on the discontinued Accurite smart hub.

released July 22, 2019

relaxes timeout interval when loading templates from a HTTP site to compensate for potentially slow DNS resolution.

released July 16, 2019

fixes computation for solar radiation on station GW1000.

released July 12, 2019

fixes a solar radiation computation bug with GW1000.
fixes a bug that forced restarts of data logging process under certain conditions.

released July 7, 2019

Meteobridge NANO SD: changes update of local HomeWeatherStation Dashboard in a way that external APIs are only requested every 10 minutes. It just needs a reboot to have this update installed. Please give it a few minutes to download (short flashing LED indicates download of dashboard files).

released June 22, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes bug in timely computing of hourly data.

released June 20, 2019

Meteobridge NANO SD: fixes a bug that limits local HWS dashboard updates to every 15 minutes.

released June 16, 2019

now keeps wind direction for Davis WLL as has been before, when wind speed drops to zero (instead of setting wind direction to "N").

released June 15, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug that impacts computation of rain0total (and other cumulative values).
fixes a bug that could have stalled Meteobridge when reaching out to grabbing a web cam image via https.

released June 11, 2019

fixes average wind reporting to WU when using a GW1000 station.

released June 9, 2019

fixes a buffer overrun error on non-PRO and non-NANO platforms that causes continuous restarts of the data logging process

released June 8, 2019

released June 1, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes bug when using sensor selector "starttime" within template definitions.

released May 30/31, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO: update under the hood to speed up initial flashing procedure.

released May 28, 2019

fixes an issue during startup of Asus WL-330N3G.

released May 26, 2019

improves template.cgi script to avoid stalls when called in parallel.

released May 25, 2019

adds optional air quality data to meteotemplate upload.
Meteobridge NANO: fixes reboot issue.

released May 22, 2019

adds support for air quality sensor PM2.5 for Ambient Weather Observer-IP. PM2.5 data is reported as template variable "air0pm" and is displayed on "Live Data" tab.
adds support for air quality reporting to weather underground and ambientweather network.

released May 18, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug on Meteohub raw data import.
adds support for soil and leaf sensors to Davis WLL.

released May 11, 2019

fixes a bug that prevented from making use of the optional "delete file after upload" option when doing SFTP file uploads.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds a generic import function called "direct" to support easy import of natively not supported data formats. All the other supported import formats are internally converted to this format and then imported. A section on import formats has been added to the wiki: PRO_Tutorial#Data_Import

released May 10, 2019

adds rain bucket resolution option to Davis Weather Link Live station.
changes wind direction reported to network "windy.com" to 2 minutes average instead of current direction.

released May 5, 2019

adds experimental support for Davis Weather Link Live device. This is still very experimental, intended to find bugs with the help of Meteobridge users. No way ready for production. We still need a leaf/soil station connected to a WLL to read out and understand the data format for that particular sensor type.

Version 3.9

released May 5, 2019

version 3.9 finalized.

released April 28, 2019

adds support for new weather station gateway GW1000 from Fine Offset. GW1000 collects data from up to 8 WH31 sensors (temp/hygro with display), 16 WH51 sensors (soil temp and moisture with sensor cable and display), a WS68 sensor unit delivering outdoor temp/hum, wind and uv/solar data, a Wh40 rain counter, and finally a WH41 air quality meter. The GW1000 gateway connects via WiFi to your LAN and provides data to the Meteobridge, when Meteobridge is told the IP of the GW1000. Apart from the standard set the GW1000 supports soil sensors and an air quality sensor. Implementation has been tested with quite a few sensors in the meanwhile. Please report bugs in the corresponding thread in the forum.

released April 22, 2019

Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug that prevented some Meteobridge PRO to install latest scripts and support files.

released April 20, 2019

fixes the pressure bug when sending data to windy.
Meteobridge NANO: adds TX power boost mode for the new batch of NANOs (left picture, with a red strap instead of a black strap). This option makes use of the better RF power emission of the new batch of VoCore2 modules. Please be aware that this mode draws so much power that the console needs support by additional batteries or (better) a more juicy power supply (minimum 500 mA). The standard 300 mA power supply of the Davis console cannot feed this mode, voltage will plump on WiFi operation and make the NANO reboot. Please use this mode only, when you experience WiFi reach problems. If your WiFi operation is fine, don't mess with this mode. Black strap NANOs don't have this option.

released April 18, 2019

adds weather network windy.com. It needs an API key that users can generate once they have registered an account.

released April 15, 2019

more changes on OpenWeatherMap support. Meteobridge does now check for a station already being registered at the provided API key. If not, Meteobridge will register a station. If there is already a station registered the first one from the list (in case there are multiple stations registered) will be used by Meteobridge for uploading. This is still experimental, but please give it a try. Deleting the stations Meteobridge might have registered before is a good step to start with. OpenWeatherMap API documentation explains how to delete stations via HTTP requests. I am still disappointed that OpenWeatherMap does not provide features to setup/maintain/delete stations within their web interface, which is clearly the right way to go.

released April 14, 2019

fixes a repetitive registration of station at openweathermap. Station registration is now only done one time.

released April 13, 2019

Meteobridge NANO SD: fixes missing ".wswin.exp" file that is needed for continous WSWIN data exports.

released April 7, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a crash bug in data export function.

released March 26, 2019

fixes a newly introduced bug that inhibits uploading to ambient weather network.

released March 25, 2019

NANO SD: fixes backup script.

released March 24, 2019

adds support for agriculture weather network Caburé in Argentina.
adds periodical triggers for "every two days" and "weekly".
fixes template variable "mbsystem-station" to report name of selected station type.
NANO SD: fixes newly introduced bug which inhibits backup script execution.
switches support for OpenWeatherMap to their new API 3.0. This was necessary because upload using legacy API is no longer available for new users. Using API 3.0 needs you to enter the APP ID you are granted by OpenWeatherNet when setting up your account. When you enter APP ID and station name and press "save" a station ID will be automatically assigned at OpenWeatherMap. Support for this rather complicated and complicated to use weather network is still experimental.

released March 17, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug that can make Meteobridge reboot when doing a database backup.
adds experimental support for Davis LOOP2 packet evaluation when Meteobridge is in "slave" mode. In "slave" mode a PC connects to the Meteobridge on port 22222 and takes over control by directly accessing the Davis console and taking over control.
adds Davis forecast texts in Spanish. Corresponding template variable is "texteshtml".

released March 13, 2019

improves handling of semaphores in "template.cgi" script which can be used for polling weather data from the Meteobridge as HTTP replies. This should solve situations where the script did no longer report data when being interrupted once.

released March 11, 2019

fixes a bug that limits AWEKAS uploads not to be less often than every 5 minutes when using fastlink option.

released March 2, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: allows to feed alien data (as "data21num") into Meteobridge by providing an executeable shell script as /root/datafeed that returns "data21 xxx", where xxx is an integer number which will be divided by 100 when used by Meteobridge. Example: File "/root/datafeed" is defined as follows and presents value "100.00" on the live data display for sensor "data21num":

#!/bin/sh
#
echo "data21 10000"
exit 0

released February 5, 2019

fixes data logger stalls when using Meteoplug graphing server uploads.

released February 3, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds French as chart language
Meteobridge NANO SD: fixes HomeWeatherStation template in regard to unit changes on barometer values.
Meteobridge NANO: disables internal WLAN access point 15 minutes after reboot, if Internet connection works fine.

released January 26, 2019

fixes bugs on date/time format, solar radiation and UV index when uploading to meteoclimatic network
fixes bad data issue when reading Vantage RF data directly and temperature is below zero Fahrenheit. Only some Davis temp sensors have been affected.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds support for chart languages Dutch and French.

released January 17, 2019

fixes a bug for outdoor temp sensors for some Davis Vantage2 units when using Meteobridge PRO or Meteostick for data reception.

released January 13, 2019

adds support for weather network meteoclimatic. Data is uploaded to the Meteobridge server and meteoclimatic data collector needs to be told the URL where to pick the data from. URL is individual and provided as "Data Link" on Meteobridge "Weather Network" tab. Green marks just indicate that the Meteobridge server did store the data, it does not show if meteoclimatic has grabbed data from there. This loose coupling is one of the disadvantages of the "drop and forget" data upload schema, you don't get feedback if data has finally reached its destination.

released January 6, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds export template "wswin-monthly" to generate monthly data exports for WSWIN (just on hourly level).

released January 5, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds a weather network entry "WSWIN Data Feed" that allows to build "import.csv" files in network folder "export". WSWIN can be pointed to this file to read data ongoing in per minute resolution from the Meteobridge. Interval to build this file can be between every 5 minutes up to every hour. Please keep in mind that doing short intervals will add to the wear of your USB or SD-card storage in the Meteobridge.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds option "pragma exportfile=xyz" to be used within export templates. Using this option will store export data with filename "xyz" in export folder instead using template name and selected time frame and resolution as file name.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds option "pragma append=y" to be used in order to add more line to an already existing file without repeating the header lines. Using this option is helpful to incrementally add data to an export file.
adds soil temperature and soil moisture values of a Davis Vantage to be reported to ambientweather network.

released January 2, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds option "pragma crlf=y" to be used within export templates. Using this option will result into an export file with Windows style terminated lines (CR+LF) instead of just LF.
stabilizes initialization sequence of Davis Vantage consoles by optimized timing.

Version 3.8

released January 1, 2019

fixes a newly introduced bug regarding data upload to homeweatherstation template.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug when triggering two chart generating tasks and FTP uploads of "lastchart" on same time schedule.

released December 30, 2018

fixes a bug where name of some weather stations is reported in two words instead of one (and by that confuses order of parameters) when doing HomeWeatherStation uploads.

released December 29, 2018

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: minor improvements on data imports.

released December 27, 2018

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds support for importing weewx database csv exports.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds support for importing WSWIN csv exports.

released December 25, 2018

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug in Cumulus import methods.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: speeding up imports a bit.

released December 24, 2018

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds support for import of Cumulus SQL and CSV files with ascending or descending time stamps.

released December 23, 2018

WL330NG3: fixes a bug in the application stack the prevents systems to start after reboot
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds "Meteotemplate" and "Cumulus Monthly Reports" as import format. Please realize that support of all that new data import functions is still beta, as I don't have excessive data to test with.

released December 22, 2018

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds data import function on "Hirstory tab. In a first step import of Meteohub raw data files and Meteoplug monthly export files are supported. Files can be zipped (".zip") or gnuzipped (".gz") or plain text. Files need to be copied into "import" folder on PC network share provided by Meteobridge. There is an option to skip malformed records or to halt import. Meteohub and Meteoplug provide up to 4 million raw data records per months, so this can take half an hour (NANO SD) or an hour (PRO) to import. While import is running, new logged data is queued and stored into database when import is done. Feeding of weather networks is halted during the import.

released December 20, 2018

adds support for ELV RS350 room climate logger, which provides 5 indoor sensors only (neither wind, pressure nor rain data).
directs link to weather cam inside HomeWeatherStation Dashboard to the Meteobridge Camera Service, which uploads your local weather camera pictures to the Meteobridge server in the Internet. You first have to enable this service on "Weather Net" tab.
adds support for IP connected Lufft WS10 stations.
Meteobridge on TL-MR3020v3: adds a feature that allows to act as a TFTP server to flash more TL-MR3020v3 devices into Meteobridges. All needed is to browse to "http://ip-of-your-meteobridge/cgi-bin/clone.cgi" and to follow instructions. This does not help you to flash the first TL-MR3020v3 but allows you to more easily replicate once you have one running.

released December 9, 2018

Meteobridge PRO & NANO: improves tests for WiFi connection issues and rebuilding WiFi connection if needed.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: shows data overview graphs on "History" tab in imperial units, when "imperial" flag is marked.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: improves handling of "lastchart.html" pointer, which now can handle generation and FTP upload of multiple charts at same point in time (as long as FTP uploads are directly triggered by a chart generation event).
fixes bug that limits firmware updates for Meteostick to version 2.5.1 instead of using newest version 2.5.2
adds support for Meteostick firmware updates to TL-MR3020v3 platform.

released December 5, 2018

adds converter "epoch" to modify time stamps. It returns the Linux epoch time equivalent of the time stamp (seconds since Jan 1, 1970).
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds variant of allinone chart template that also displays a soil temperature (sensor "th1" is used). New chart is named "allinonesoil" and comes in ISO and IMP flavour.

released December 4, 2018

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a yesterday introduced bug on data export function and fixes operation of "emptylines=n/y" pragma operation.

released December 3, 2018

Meteobridge PRO and NANO: changes code to potentially improve WLAN long-term stability.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: when calling a chart, URL parameter "sensormap" allows to use alternative sensors instead of the ones programmed in the chart definition. Assume a chart shows data for "thb0" and "th0" then adding "&sensormap=th1,thb9" to the chart URL will make the chart to show data for "th1" instead of "th0" and data for "thb9" instead of "thb0". This is an easy work-around to avoid definition of duplicated charts for various sensors of the same kind.
Meteobridge NANO: changes reboot handling slightly.

released December 1, 2018

released November 21, 2018

Meteobridge NANO SD: We did a port of Brian's famous HomeWeatherStation template to run on the NANO SD. To have this activated it just needs you to select "Local Dashboard" on "Weather Network" tab and then to give it an upload interval. In order to have current conditions and forecast information on the dashboard, you need to signup to DarkSky an CheckWX services, both free of charge for private use. The HomeWeatherStation dashboard receives historical data from the NANO SD database and makes use of the Meteobridge charting engine powered by the amcharts JavaScript package. Dashboard can be used locally in your LAN but also from the Internet by a remote link. To access the dashboard no credentials of the Meteobridge admin web interface are needed. Dashboard also adapts to mobile devices. This is the first time we offer a powerful dashboard, locally hosted on a Meteobridge without any need for setting up a web server. We hope you enjoy this feature and I have to say a big thanks to Brian, who was so generous to allow me to bundle his template with the Meteobridge software in order to make it most easy for you to use. In case of technical interest you can download my adaption of HomeWeatherStation template from here. Let us realize for a moment that all this is provided by a stamp-sized module in the back of a Davis console! Future is now ;-)

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: makes non iterating part of an export template (the lines that start with "$") subject to general template variable replacements. This allows to add summary information about a month to an export that in principle just iterates all the days of the month. This is a new fundamental features to generate summary reports.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds NOAA like monthly reports a templates for data export. Both styles, ISO and IMP are available ("NOAA-monthly-iso" and "NOAA-monthly-imp").

adds feature to transfer rain totals for day, month, year from Davis Vantage/Vue console to Meteobridge. Not supported on Meteobridge PRO.
adds feature to transfer min/max data of some sensors from Davis Vantage/Vue console to Meteobridge. This is recommended for initial setup only as it might result into inconsistencies (thb0seapress data is provided, but no thb0press data) and it will also erase date/time stamps for those sensors as the console does not provide date/time stamps for all min/max values). Not supported on Meteobridge PRO.
Meteobridge NANO: adds a feature to compensate for heating-up the console a bit by the NANO plug-in. This results into higher indoor temp readings as they actual are. An offset to compensate for that can be specified in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Recommended value is -6° Fahrenheit.

released August 25, 2018

adds support for HTTPS URLs for grabbing web cam pictures.

New Meteobridge_NANO is now available! You find list of resellers here. It is mainly a full Meteobridge shrunk to stamp size and serving as a plug-in for Davis Vantage/Vue consoles. It can't be easier to bring a Davis station into the Internet with all the features a Meteobridge has to offer.

released August 24, 2018

improves handling of min/max time stamps. In case sensor is not there a request for the timestamp of a min/max event does now correctly default to the replacement string.
Meteobridge PRO: adds "[sun0total-daysum.2:0.0]" to realtime.txt template in order to support 3rd party sunshine sensors for Davis Vantage.

released August 17, 2018

some changes in handling data coming in over a TCP/IP socket connection. This should reduce logger disconnect/connect cycles when being connected with a Davis WLIP device.
skips an demanded updating of Davis console time/date when difference is less than 60 seconds. This helps to reduce write cycles on flash storage in Davis console.

released August 15, 2018

fixes a bug that Davis console initialization remains incomplete when all setup options are selected.
adds a feature to set logging interval of the Davis data logger. This interval is meaningless for Meteobridge operation (as Meteobridge does not rely on the Davis logger) but might be interesting, when a PC connects directly via port 22222 to the Davis logger.

released August 14, 2018

improves Davis console initialization code to better handle when console is in manual setup mode and does not respond to remote setup commands. In case of a failed remote setup this will be noticed in the "system messages" field.

released August 12, 2018

support for AWEKAS fast link. When using an AWEKAS subscription-based "station web" service you can upload data in intervals down to every 30 seconds. All you need is to set the corresponding mark and to add your individual fastlink key to the AWEKAS credentials on your Meteobridge "weather network" tab.
adapts Davis Vantage forecast text regarding expected North directed wind shifts, which need to be directed to the South when station is located on the south globe.

released July 26, 2018

fixes a bug on platforms TL-MR3020v3 and TL-WR902AC that inhibited to make use of a bridged device on the Meteobridge LAN port by Meteobridge itself. Example: Meteobridge is connected via WiFi to your LAN and has a webcam directly connected to its LAN port. So far on TL-MR3020v3 and TL-WR902AC this webcam has been connected with the LAN fine (when bridge mode on Meteobridge is enabled on "Network" tab) but Meteobridge itself was not able to connect to it (while every other device in your LAN could). This bug is fixed now. Please note that only the mentioned new platforms have been impacted by that.

released July 20, 2018

switches over to a new latitude/longitude reference web page on "system" tab as the former one was restricted to certain countries in the course of GDPR.
fixes a newly introduced bug in the twitter services.

released July 8, 2018

adds a calibration factor for wind speed on "weather station" page. Please use this option with care and only when you are sure the factor does really apply. It is much better to reposition your anemometer or to live with lower wind readings when anemometer cannot be positioned better.

released July 6, 2018

gives more timeout tolerance for manually defined HTTP uploads at "Services" tab. This allows to better handle slow DNS resolution or weak Internet connections.

- date and time as received from the Internet
- longitude, latitude, timezone and altitude based on the settings specified within the Meteobridge
- rain collector size (also rain season start as defined by Meteobridge)
- wind cup size (for Vantage Pro2 only)
- display modes for console regarding time and date format

todays release of a new firmware version (1.3) for TP-Link MR3020 V3 ** WHICH NOW ALSO SUPPORTS WIFI ** gives Meteobridge a cheap, capable and world-wide available Meteobridge platform for years to come. Compared to the legacy MR3020 we have double the ROM/RAM and we don't no longer need any USB hubs in order to have a USB weather station connected. When you had a former Meteobridge firmware installed on MR3020 V3 we strongly recommend to upgrade to the new one. Doing so will need to have your license adapted. Please contact "info(at)meteobridge.com" by providing the MAC of your unit, we will swap the license to the newly flashed MR3020 V3. Please visit hardware section to understand how to flash a MR3020 V3 and where to find the firmware image.

released March 11, 2018

Meteobridge PRO: optimizes memory usage to better support large sensor array setups.
some minor additions to Dutch language support

released March 10, 2018

adds template variable expressions "[mbsystem-primarysensors:]" and "[mbsystem-noprimarysensors:]" to control inside a template if "0" sensors (like th0, wind0, rain0, etc) should be replaced by sensors defined on "Live Data" tab as primary or taken literally. The mentioned template expressions are evaluated to the empty string and thereby do nothing directly in your template but control how variables are evaluated as a side effect.
Centrally hosted upload template for "Hetweeractuel" has been updated to use primary sensors: http://templates.meteobridge.com/hetweeractueel.template

released March 4, 2018

fixes a factor 10 bug on solar radiation measurement for WH2308 / 4000 weather stations.

adds new sensor type "lgt" for handling lightning events as provided by WeatherFlow AIR station. "lgt0dist" return distance in kilometers, "lgt0energy" the strength of the strike and "lgt0total" number of lightning strikes for a given time period. Template section of the wiki has also been updated accordingly.

released February 28, 2018

adds weather network "Meteoagro NET"

released February 24, 2018

adds full support for WeatherFlow AIR and SKY stations. Although these stations are part of your LAN/WLAN Meteobridge does not need to know their IP. This is a cool feature made possible by the station that sends data out as UDP broadcasts. Backside of this very convenient technique is, that the data cannot be routed and by that Meteobridge cannot connect to a WeatherFlow station outside the local LAN/WLAN.
adds a feature to address the sensors marked on "Live Data" tab as primary in template definitions. Please read details here...
Since version 3.6 Meteobridge also supports selection of a sensor which has been defined on "Live Data" tab as primary. When no primary selection has been made all the "0" sensors (like "th0temp", "wind0wind", etc) are primary by default. But when you select "th3temp" as primary sensor and by that its data is reported as your stations outdoor temperature to all the weather networks, then you can now also select the primary sensor in your template definitions by selecting it as the "*" sensor. For example: "th*temp" selects the sensors defined as the primary outdoor temp sensor. When you use "[th*temp-act:--]" you get the current temperature of your primary outdoor temp sensor. This will be a synonym to "[th0temp-act:--] as long as you have not selected another sensor as primary outdoor temp sensor. But when you have selected "th3temp" to be the primary outdoor temp sensor, then "th*temp" will reference to "th3temp" instead of "th0temp". Please be aware that Meteobridge versions before version 3.6 will fail to evaluate "*" sensors. Therefore, it is recommended to provide both notations in a template and to make use of the conditional evaluation as explained in a later chapter. Here is an example that takes "th0temp" as default outdoor sensor on older Meteobridge versions and newer "th*temp" notation on current ones: #if{*[mbsystem-swversion:1.0]>=3.6*}#then#outdoor temp: [th*temp-act:--]°C#else#outdoor temp: [th0temp-act:--]°C#fi#

fixes a bug on TL-WR902AC platform that has limited WiFi operation to 5 GHz only.
improves scan for existing WiFi by also showing RF band (2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz) in addition to SSID and signal strength.

released January 28, 2018

Support for version 3 hardware of the TL-MR3020 from TP-Link has been added. This support does come with two caveats:
- As we are lacking reliable working Open Source WiFi drivers for this new device, Meteobridge can currently offer LAN operation only. It remains unclear if/when this limit can be lifted.
- The stock firmware only accepts updates of TP-Link signed updates. By that the Meteobridge firmware cannot be flashed to the device by the web interface. To work around this you have to setup of a TFTP server on your PC that provides the Meteobridge firmware for flashing. Flashing itself is easy, but it needs you to setup the TFTP server first.
You find a description how to flash the MR3020v3 in the "Preparing Hardware" section and can have a look at the hardware details of this new platform in "hardware" section. First tests indicate that this version 3 of the MR3020 does no longer need a USB hub to connect to the weather stations, which is nice. As Meteobridge support for MR3020v3 is brand new, there will for sure still be some bugs. We are happy when you report those in the forum, so that we can get rid of them fast. As with all new ports, please be a bit patient if it takes a few days until an issue is solved.

released January 27, 2018

some minor bug fixes on the new Meteobridge release for TL-WR902AC platform.
fixes a bug with the firmware download links on "Preparing Hardware" page.
adds Turkish language option and improves Dutch language support.

released January 24, 2018

New hardware TL-WR902AC from TP-Link has been added to the list of supported devices. "Hardware" section and "Preparing Hardware" section are updated and explain how to flash these devices. The WR902 offers twice the RAM and Flash-ROM compared to MR3020, which makes developing SW for it a bit more relaxed. Feature-wise Meteobridge on this device is identical to all the other non-pro Meteobridge platforms. While WR902AC is able to operate on the 5 GHz band Meteobridge is currently only operating in the standard 2.4 GHz Band. This shouldn't be an issue as there are rarely any 5 GHz only WLANs and 2.4 GHz has anyway better RF reach and we don't really need top speed for Meteobridge operation. If the WR902AC also needs a USB hub to connect to USB 1.x weather stations is not known yet. It also has an Atheros chip, but it is another model and may be the drivers for this model do it right now... we 'll see. The port to WR902AC made switching from openwrt to lede on OS level necessary, so we had to setup a complete new compile chain. Therefore, the port might still have some bugs. If you discover some bugs, please report and please be a bit patient if fixing takes a few days. Currently the WR902AC is sold as hardware revision 1.x. You can see from the TP-Link pages that they are preparing to release a version 3 model, which seems to use different hardware. So take your chance to get a version 1 WR902AC which are widely available on world-wide level right now.

released January 10, 2018

fixes an freshly introduced bug in regard to handling negative wind chill temperatures for WMR-300 station
reduces pointless writing of same sensor values into internal storage every few seconds for WMR-300 weather station. Now data in Meteobridge is only updated when sensor data has changed or 50 seconds have passed. By that storage consumption is reduced without compromising on tracking fast sensor data changes.
adds support for Oregon Scientific low budget weather station WMR-89. Support is still experimental, but we have been asked many times to support this station, which we now do :-)

released January 8, 2018

fixes some bugs in the WMR-300 low level driver, which made reporting of sensors unstable in certain situations.

released January 2, 2018

adds "MMM" template variable to report month as English three letter abbreviation ("Jan", "Feb", etc).
adds multiplier to template variable converter. For example: Converter "F10" reports temperature in degrees Fahrenheit multiplied by 10. That way template variables can report current outdoor temp in 1/10 of degrees Fahrenheit ("th0temp-act=F10") or daily rain fall in 1/100 inch ("rain0total-sumday=in100").
These features allow to generate CWOP/wxnow.txt (http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Wxnow.txt) data strings as follows:

Feb 01 2009 12:34
272/010g006t069r010p030P020h61b10150

New TP-Link MR3020 hardware (Version 3) not compatible with Meteobridge!
We got notice that TP-Link rolled out a new hardware version of the TL-MR3020. The new units cannot be flashed with Meteobridge firmware. You can identify these version 3 devices by the sticker on the packaging telling you that it is a version 3 model and by the new TP-Link logo and the "300Mbps" text on the front of the device. There is a posting in the forum that gives you even more details why these units cannot be used with Meteobridge right now.

improves error reporting on failed HTTP requests

released November 26, 2017

fixes a bug that stalls the data logger when some weather network details left empty (like WU ID).

released November 19, 2017

fixes a red mark error on "weather network" tab when using Home Weather Station. Previous fix has not been effective in all situations.
renames Meteostick RF bandwidth options from "narrow / normal / wide" to "direct / via console". "direct" (which corresponds to formerly "narrow") has to be used when receiving data directly from the Davis sensors or from an external Davis repeater. When packets retransmitted from the Davis console should be read, option "via console" has to be used. This is identical to formerly used option "normal". Option "wide" has been dropped, as it has shown not to be useful in Davis RF context.
adds support for "webcam.io" service, which users might use as replacement for to be terminated "Weather Underground Camera" service. Just setup a FTP cam upload service within Meteobridge and give this as path:
```
ftp://user:password@ftp.webcam.io:21/mycam-[YYYY][MM][DD]-[hh][mm].jpg
```
Prerequisite is that you have setup a free test account at webcam.io as explained here: www.webcam.io

fixes a bug on handling single quotes in camera overlay strings

relased October 24, 2017

fixes a bug regarding ok/error mark for alarm events on "Live Data" tab.
better handles slow down issue of some observerip models and avoids wrong selection of measurement units.

released October 14, 2017

limits event history to 30 lines, but allows to show full history (up to 4000 bytes in total) when clicking onto upload status indicator. Event history will show-up in a new window.

released October 12, 2017

adds event history to each of the upload services listed in upper section of "Live Data" tab. When mouse is moved over the upload status indicator a list of last upload events is shown.

released October 11, 2017

does up to 3 retries on sending SMS. This handles spare situations where contact to SMS service does fail on first attempt caused by routing or Internet time out problems.
Meteobridge PRO: enhances "@YYYY" addressing schema to be used with template variables. When "YYYY" is not defining a valid year but is in the range of "0000" to "0010" then "0000" is interpreted as the current year, "0001" as the previous year and so on. In that situation the 4 digit number expresses how many years to skip into the past. These skips need to be in 4-digit style, leading zeros are not allowed to be omitted.
Meteobridge PRO: more robust execution of database repair tasks.
fixes bug in testing HTTPS connections on "Weather Networks" tab for services "Meteotemplate" and "Home Weather Station".
fixes a bug with Oregon WMR-300 station in regard how to handle wind chill computation when primary outdoor temp/hum sensor does not deliver data.

released September 30, 2017

fixes a bug that stalls SFTP uploads on DIR-505 platform

released September 29, 2017

adds SFTP upload option. This supports password protected SFTP upload only (no key based upload). SFTP upload services can be selected like FTP upload, parameters are the same. Implementation is still regarded beta. FTPS (aka FTP via TLS) is not supported. An option to test a SFTP connections is added at the bottom of the "services" tab.
more nicely adapts HTTP timeout settings to given send intervals. This means tighter timeouts are applied for rapid sending and more relaxed timeout apply when data is sent just every 30 seconds or even less often. Maximum timeout is 13 seconds. A URL not answering in that interval can be regarded broken (even on slow cellular networks).

released September 22, 2017

Meteobridge PRO: allows to upload files via admin web interface to SMB folders "charts, "templates", "scripts" and "export". Simply browse to "http://ip-of-your-meteobridge/upload.html" and select folder and file to upload.

released September 21, 2017

adds weather network "Wetterring". All you need is an ID key from Wetterring and you can easily upload data in user-defined intervals to the "Wetterring" network "http://www.wetterring.com". Main focus of Wetterring is Austria and Switzerland.

released September 10, 2017

does no longer report temperature as dew point when humidity is at 0%. Behavior is altered, so that no dew point value is reported, when humidity is at 0%. This is because there is no dew point without humidity. When you urgently need some kind of dew point even when your humidity sensor reports zero, you can adapt humidity stretch as follows. A value of "0" will then be mapped to "1".

Firmware Image Update September 9, 2017

We got notice that TP-Link changed the NOR flash storage in some of the newer hardware batches named Rev 1.9 (see picture on the right) of the MR3020. Unfortunately, this chip is not supported by the Linux kernel we use in our current Meteobridge firmware and the unit will not boot. But we were lucky enough to patch the kernel this evening, so that the new chip is now recognized and Meteobridge firmware in new version 1.5 is now doing well again. For those who flashed one of the impacted MR3020 with Meteobridge firmware 1.4 the sad message is, that the unit is bricked. I just posted an instruction in the forum how to resurrect the device without opening it, but it is more for the hardcore techie: http://forum.meteohub.de/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=12318&p=23502#p23502

I am sorry for the hassle, but we cannot foresee, what TP-Link will surprise us with.... all we can do is to solve issues pretty fast, which I think we did.

released August 17, 2017

adds template variables "daylengthmin", "civillengthmin", "nauticallengthmin" which report length of shortest day (December 21) of the current year at the given longitude/latitude.
adds template variables "daylengthmax", "civillengthmax", "nauticallengthmax" which report length of longest day (June 21) of the current year at the given longitude/latitude.
adds converters "secs", "mins", "hours" to be applied to daylength results. Converter returns a floting point number that defines the time period in seconds, munites or hours instead of the standard "HH:MM" format. This makes it more easy to to math between time durations. Example: Template string "{* [mbsystem-daylengthmax=mins.0] - [mbsystem-daylength=mins.0] *0}" returns number of minutes the current day is shorter than longest day of the year.
adds an option to specify number of leading zeros when using decimals specifier. "{*([mbsystem-daylengthmax=mins.0]-[mbsystem-daylength=mins.0])/60*00t}:{*([mbsystem-daylengthmax=mins.0]-[mbsystem-daylength=mins.0])%60*00t}" returns lost daytime compared to longest day of the year in "HH:MM" notation. "*00t}" sets output to 2 digits filled up with leading zeros ("00") if necessary and does not do rounding but cuts of decimals ("t").

Version 3.3

released August 13, 2017

fixes bug that skips first rain data reading when stations rain counter has been reset to zero. This especially happened when using Davis Envoy8x.
allows for up to 10 external temp/hum sensors when using Oregon WMR-200 station.

released August 2, 2017

corrects solar radiation values for WH-2310 / 4000 stations to better match display data.

Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug related to chart generation when using time frame "last quarter".

released Juli 3, 2017

adds support for Fine Offset 2310 / 4000 weather stations, which are also rebranded as "Tycon TP2700".

released Juli 2, 2017

applies non-standard primary sensor settings to HomeWeatherStation uploads. Changing primary sensors on live data tab did not had an effect on which sensors were used for feeding HomeWeatherStation uploads. With the new release, this is taken into account as with the other weather networks.

released July 1, 2017

adds an option to send true rain rate data to WU instead of cumulated rain of last 60 minutes. Default Meteobridge upload of cumulated rain is in line with WU specification but some users requested to see rain data on WU as on their console. This can now be realized by setting the switch to "alternative rain rate".

released June 19, 2017

removes user-defined retries for weather network ambientweather.net to spare server bandwidth.

released June 18, 2017

improves algorithm to compute station pressure from SLP as reported by Vantage. Normally, Meteobridge directly requests station pressure from Vantage by means of LOOP2 protocol. But there might be situations where Vantage console is on old firmware level (below 1.9) not supporting LOOP2 or when Meteobridge acts as a slave to a PC weather program emulating a WLIP device and by that might not get LOOP2 packets. Please understand that back computation of station pressure from SLP is not perfect as average humidity and temperature of last 12h hours is not avail to Meteobridge. When you are operating in higher altitudes be prepared that some variation will occur. You can compensate by pressure adjustments on "station" tab.

released June 14, 2017

fixes time triggers "before each new year", "before each new month" and non-PRO Meteobridges (PROs did not had the reported problem).
Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug uploading export data via FTP. Latest export file is now available as "export:lastexport.txt" or "export:lastexport.exp" and a bug when using full qualified inline FTP credentials has been fixed.

Version 3.2

released May 29, 2017

adds HomeWeatherStation support on "weather network" tab to make it most easy to use.

released May 26, 2017

adds template variable "epoch" which returns current date/time as unsigned integer in Unix style (seconds since January 1, 1970).
Meteobridge PRO: changes OLED screen saver to show two moving vertical lines when active. Screen saver pauses a few seconds and shows original content when lines do meet in the middle of the screen. Moving lines avoid having the false impression that display is completely off.

released May 19, 2017

fixes a bug that falsely reports that Meteotemplate URL is malformed.

released May 14, 2017

adapts error handling to changes in return messages of weather network previmeteo.

Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug (introduced with previous version) that impacted classical display loop templates.

released May 6, 2017

Meteobridge PRO: fixes another OLED driver bug that tends to show first screen of loop after loop has been finished.

final 3.2 version released May 6, 2017

introduces limited time frame for update support. Free updates are available for first 2 years after license purchase. Having passed that period an update license that covers another two years of free update service can be purchased for 19 Euros. Purchase can be made within the Meteobridge application via a PayPal button. Being out of update services users will stick to their current version, which will stay operational. Bug fixing and trouble shooting will focus on new versions, there are no plans on back-porting bug fixes or deploying new features to older versions. Meteobridge PROs are not subject of these changes, they still get all updates for free.

released April 30, 2017

Meteobridge PRO: fixes start/stop issue of OLED driver and improves CPU efficiency of OLED driver code.
Meteobridge PRO: improves "once" display scripts to erase static screen content (like smartbedded intro logo) when triggered. This helps to render screen black after each round of displaying weather data.

released April 28, 2017

Meteobridge PRO: improves display operation. While default display scripts show weather data on the display in a loop for a period of 5 minutes, there are now script variants available that run throw the loop only one time and switch off display after that. These variants end with "once" in the drop-down list, where you select the display scripts. When you trigger these scripts every 2 minutes, you get about 40 seconds of data being displayed, then display goes off and starts again displaying data when 2 minutes are passed. This helps reducing screen wear-out while still providing you with data on the display.

released April 26, 2017

Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug related to display operations.

released April 22, 2017

Meteobridge PRO: switches OLED into sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. After that content is displayed for 3 secs every minute. When new data is sent to the display, it wakes up immediately and 5 minute countdown to sleep starts again. This measure protects display from early wear out. Timeout to sleep is hard coded and cannot be changed by the user right now.

released April 12, 2017

fixes a bug that blocks "weather network" tab on certain conditions, like a freshly setup system.

released April 11, 2017

Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug in handling local timezone for charting purposes.

released February 5, 2017

fixes a bug in handling wind direction from Acurite Aculink devices.

released February 4, 2017

Meteobridge PRO: adds a function on "History" tab that starts a complete reconstruction of the database from the recorded hourly values. This helps in situations, when time zone has changed and as a result higher level aggregated data for days, months, etc will not have the correct time stamps anymore. The reconstruction will take some time and during that period storing new data will delayed until reconstruction has finished. Per minute data for the last hours will be lost by performing this operation. Progress of reconstruction will be reflected in messages section of "System" tab.
Meteobridge PRO: fixes a deficiency, that database process can run into a failure loop, when some database tables are missing (because sensors might have been deleted on "History" tab). When this happens now, one error message will be reported and database table will be setup again to allow next operation on that sensor to be successful.
Meteobridge PRO: adds an adjustable boot delay. This allows the Meteobridge PRO to wait 1 to 5 minutes after a restart before reaching out to the Internet. Optional boot delay can be adjusted on "System" tab.
summarizes repeating entries from the logger process in the messages section of "System" tab.
fixes a bug that did no correctly handle events "before" and "after" day break. Time stamps used for collecting associated data were not correctly used.

released January 29, 2017

fixes a bug that resets timezone to UTC when doing a reboot that forces to start in "LAN DHCP client" mode. This bug did show correct timezone settings on "system" tab but UTC was actually used.
avoids redundant messages on "system" tab. Identical follow-up messages are replaced by a repeat notice.

released January 22, 2017

fixes a frequent disconnect issue when using 3g USB dongles for Internet connectivity.

released January 21, 2017

fixes a bug that prevents from triggering events bound to a specific time of the day.

Meteobridge PRO: adds a chart to show sunshine duration in case you have a modified Davis station that has a 3rd party sunshine sensor attached.
fixes a bug in handling of "no windchill" option on "station" tab (when used with Meteostick or Meteobridge PRO RED).

released December 25, 2016

Meteobridge PRO: better handles RAM database inconsistencies by purging RAM database automatically if needed.

Version 3.1

released December 22, 2016

fixes a bug regarding "no windchill" option on "weather station" tab. Now, when you select this option wind data gets reported even in case no temp sensor for windchill computation available. Formerly, this only worked for Meteostick operation. Now this feature can be used with all weather stations.

released December 19, 2016

improves handling of WMR-100 station USB hang-ups.

released December 17, 2016

Meteobridge PRO: adds a feature on "System" tab to force a complete database rebuild during start.

released October 24, 2016

Meteobridge PRO: fixes some bugs with allinone chart templates
Meteobridge PRO: adds a new tempminmax chart template to display min/max temperature values
Meteobridge PRO: adds a new allinoneminmax chart template that works like "allinone" but display min/max data which is suitable when looking for summary data on daily and monthly level. This charts show min, average and max values in the legend and also presents balloon data including date/time of min max data when moving the mouse to one of the data sets. As with all Meteobridge PRO charts, they are based on Javascript, which is embedded into a regular HTML file that can be uploaded to your server and can be presented there by iframing.
Meteobridge PRO: reflects selection of sensors to be used as primary sensors from "Live Data" tab when plotting charts.
Meteobridge PRO: changes execution of export data generation which should now handle parallel triggering events with successive FTP uploads of lastexport files fine.

released October 20, 2016

Meteobridge PRO: Redesign of lastchart handling to make sure chart generations executed at the same time and which triggered FTP upload events are handled the right way to avoid mixing up the order of execution. When changes have proven being bug free, same will be applied for handling data export events which currently can't be executed at the same time in parallel.

released October 19, 2016

Meteobridge PRO: Making use of automated chart generation and upload should now be fully supported. As there occured a few questions how to use it, I give an example on the right. As you can see, event #6 generates every full hour a chart of todays data just before the new hour shows up. This triggers event #7 which uploads the generated html chart to a web server and gives it the name "daychart-(year)-(month)-(day).html". Current data for year, month, day is inserted by means of "gnu c strftime" function, which defines "%Y" as year, "%m" as month, and "%d" as day. After successful upload, the local file on the Meteobridge PRO is deleted, as indicated by the "Delete file" mark.

released October 17, 2016

Meteobridge PRO: minor bug fixes related to the introduced chart feature.

released October 16, 2016

Meteobridge PRO: initial support for generating charts. Feature is still beta, feedback from users is highly welcome. Charts can be defined on "Graphs" tab, where time period, resolution, language and chart type can be selected. Meteobridge shows chart inline and provides two URLs, where the chart can be accessed. "local URL" works in your LAN, while "remote URL" allows you to access it from the Internet, when you have remote access enabled. Charts can also be generated on "Services" tab in a periodical manner. Charts are stored as html pages in "charts" folder, which can be accessed as Meteobridge PC network folder. FTP Upload of charts is also supported, by which you can make these accessible on your web server. "chart:lastchart" mechanics can be used for an FTP upload triggered by making the chart (this works analogous to the "lastexport" item when uploading export files). There is only one chart defined right now (allinone) in iso and imperial flavor, but more to come. Chart definitions are located in "templates" folder and have extension ".chart". Meteobridge charts are based on the "amcharts.com" package which smartbedded has licensed in a redistributable way. Nevertheless, please be aware that you are not allowed to used the included chart libs for purposes outside Meteobridge. Meteobridge charts are interactive, you can select and deselect data, you can modify the time line, and much more. You find a chart generated by my Meteobridge PRO here. Feel free to inspect it.

adds support for Ambient Weather Observer IP WS-900 weather station

released September 12, 2016

maps soil temperature sensor of Acurite Aculink bridge to sensor IDs "t?temp" where "?" is a number starting at 10.
pushes date of pure temp sensors with IDs "t10temp" until "t13temp" as soil temperature to weatherunderground. This allows non Davis stations to also report soil temperatures as Acurite Aculink bridge, for example.
better support of Davis leaf stations with Meteostick.

released August 24, 2016

fixes a bug that an event which is triggered by another event might be started in reverse order.
fixes handling of return messages from WOW weather network.
fixes a bug that does not correctly start/stop logging process after making changes on "station" tab. This could have produced database locks on Meteobridge PRO systems.
adds time control for periodic data exports to be triggered before or after a full hour, day, month, year has been started. Example: This allows to export all data of the current day just before day has passed (option: "before day break"). To be precise, this service is triggered when the day has just passed but data taken into account is limited to the day that has just passed. This makes definition of services that intend to export data of completed days/months/years more easy and straight forward.
adds option to FTP upload service, that allows to automatically delete the file from export folder when file has been uploaded successfully.

released August 17, 2016

adds optional retries for HTTP push services. Number of retries depend on send intervals.

Version 3.0

released July 29, 2016

alpha support for new Acurite Aculink bridge data format (still looking for a users bridge to test with)
larger input field for WOW site ID to better handle the new very long ID token from WOW.
THB sensors with missing temperature and/or humidity data are no longer added with artificial temp/hum data. Temp/hum information for these sensors are no longer provided (example: On Meteostick variable "thb0hum" is missing and on Acurite Aculink bridge "thb0temp" and/or "thb0hum" are be missing).
Meteobridge PRO: fixes some bugs on database requests,
Meteobridge PRO: adds check for RAM database consistency, when database repair option is selected.

released July 21, 2016

reduces fastest update interval for WOW to 10 minutes, in order to avoid bad packet messages with WOW.

increases logging timeout period of 15 secs to 20 secs in order to allow more stable WLIP uploads to Davis weather link server.
Meteobridge PRO: fixes error messages popping up on early 3.0 version when generating WDL exports.

released July 12, 2016

Meteobridge PRO: massive rework of how data is stored. In essence there now is a pseudo persistent database keeping data in per minute resolution for the last 36 hours and a database in internal USB store that holds data on per hour/day/month/year level forever. Flash wear is reduced by about factor 60 and capacity of 8GB also looks to be overstated as USB database will grow very slowly. As so many code fractions needed to be adapted, there might still be some bugs here and there. Please report bugs to "info(at)meteobridge.com". We expect things going smooth after s short time.

released July 6, 2016

adds code to terminate stalled logger processes that might keep tcp ports busy.

released July 5, 2016

fixes SMS sending bug introduced with June 28 release

released July 3, 2016

makes use of a vector adding method to compute average wind direction. Result is no longer restricted to a fixed number of direction buckets (have been 16 in the past)
Meteobridge PRO: in order to eliminate the USB flash defects which are likely to occur after a certain time of use, we decided to dramatically reduce update interval of the internal database. Now data is only written every 15 minutes to the internal database. When this works flawless, update interval is planned to be further extended to every hour. As a result database will no longer provide per minute data. Nevertheless, the current 24h data will be available in RAM, so min/max/avg data of last minutes hours can still be computed correctly. RAM data also survives controlled reboots. Impact of stripping away the per minute database representation in regard to template variables is described in the Template section of the wiki.

applies definition of primary outdoor temp sensor also the sea level pressure and windchill calculation.

released May 7, 2016

Meteobridge PRO: adds features to address data from the past by giving an absolute or relative point in time description. This allows a very flexible access of data from the database when designing templates. Details can be found here: http://meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/Templates#Meteobridge_PRO_Additions
Meteobridge PRO: fixes a sporadic occurring bug in reporting temperature and humidity inside the box

-===In The Works / On TO-DO List===
+===Version 4.3===
-* Meteobridge PRO: add import data mechanism
+released February 8, 2020
-* Meteobridge PRO: add WSWIN "Dateiüberwachung" (postponed)
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: allows period parameter of "export.cgi" script to specify a range. Example: "period=20191201-20200115" specifies range from Dec 1, 2019 until Jan 15, 2020 (end date is excluded so it is effectively until 23:59 Jan 14, 2020).
+released February 1, 2020
+* expands conversion options of template variables by a generic factor/offset model. Example: "[th0temp-act=f0,5+3,5:-]" returns the current outdoor temperate in degrees Fahrenheit but multiplies the result with 0.5 (factor) and adds 3.5 (offset) to it. If factor or offset contain decimals, these need to be written with a comma "," instead of the dot "." because the dot has a special meaning when used with template variables. Factors and offsets can also be applied to export and chart definitions.
-===Version 3.3===
-released Juli 3, 2017
-* [[File:wh2308.png|right|400px]]adds support for Fine Offset 2308 / 2310 weather stations.
+released January 30, 2020
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: "export.cgi" script can now handle url encoded parameters.
-released Juli 2, 2017
-* applies non-standard primary sensor settings to HomeWeatherStation uploads. Changing primary sensors on live data tab did not had an effect on which sensors were used for feeding HomeWeatherStation uploads. With the new release, this is taken into account as with the other weather networks.
+===Version 4.2===
+released January 28, 2020
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a newly introduced bug which prohibited WSWIN style data exports.
-released July 1, 2017
-* [[File:wurainrate.png|right|300px]]adds an option to send true rain rate data to WU instead of cumulated rain of last 60 minutes. Default Meteobridge upload of cumulated rain is in line with WU specification but some users requested to see rain data on WU as on their console. This can now be realized by setting the switch to "alternative rain rate".
+released January 25, 2020
+* adds Italian language support
-released June 19, 2017
-* removes user-defined retries for weather network ambientweather.net to spare server bandwidth.
+released January 24, 2020
+* [[File:copyurl.png|right|500px]]adds two buttons for remote login feature. "Open URL" does open a new browser window/tab based on the remote login link, "Copy URL" copies the remote link into the clipboard.
-released June 18, 2017
+released January 23, 2020
-* improves algorithm to compute station pressure from SLP as reported by Vantage. Normally, Meteobridge directly requests station pressure from Vantage by means of LOOP2 protocol. But there might be situations where Vantage console is on old firmware level (below 1.9) not supporting LOOP2 or when Meteobridge acts as a slave to a PC weather program emulating a WLIP device and by that might not get LOOP2 packets. Please understand that back computation of station pressure from SLP is not perfect as average humidity and temperature of last 12h hours is not avail to Meteobridge. When you are operating in higher altitudes be prepared that some variation will occur. You can compensate by pressure adjustments on "station" tab.
+* [[File:export2.png|right|300px]]Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: allows to feed "export.cgi" function with a template string instead of a pre-defined template file. Please keep in mind that these templates are used for mass data export from the database and they are not providing the conversion features known from the regular templates. Example: <font face="Courier"><span style="background-color:lightgrey;">export.cgi?period=202001&resolution=day&template=[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD],[epoch],[th0temp-avg.1:],[th0temp-min.1:],[th0temp-max.1:],[th0hum-avg.0:]</span></font face> returns the data on the right.
-released June 14, 2017
+released January 19, 2020
-* fixes time triggers "before each new year", "before each new month" and non-PRO Meteobridges (PROs did not had the reported problem).
+* [[File:export-http.png|right|450px]]Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: makes data export function available from the web interface by calling "http://ip-of-your-meteobridge/cgi-bin/export.cgi?period=202001&resolution=hour&template=standard-iso.exp". This reports content of the database according to the template definition "standard-iso.exp" (from template folder) for the month January 2020 in hourly resolution.
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug uploading export data via FTP. Latest export file is now available as "export:lastexport.txt" or "export:lastexport.exp" and a bug when using full qualified inline FTP credentials has been fixed.
+* improves reliability of data sending process by monitoring the corresponding thread
-===Version 3.2===
+released January 18, 2020
-released May 29, 2017
+* adds weather network "Wetterwarte Sued"
-* includes all changes until this point in time into release 3.2 which is the base release available for all licensed systems, regardless if 2 years of free update support has passed or not.
-* adds HomeWeatherStation support on "weather network" tab to make it most easy to use.
-released May 26, 2017
+released January 12, 2020
-* adds template variable "epoch" which returns current date/time as unsigned integer in Unix style (seconds since January 1, 1970).
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a rain total bug when requesting data exactly at the beginning of a new hour.
-* Meteobridge PRO: changes OLED screen saver to show two moving vertical lines when active. Screen saver pauses a few seconds and shows original content when lines do meet in the middle of the screen. Moving lines avoid having the false impression that display is completely off.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: enhances HTML generation service by allowing to use special characters like "\n" when using template string instead of a template file.
-released May 19, 2017
+released January 11, 2020
-* fixes a bug that falsely reports that Meteotemplate URL is malformed.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes display bug of rain totals on "History" tab
-released May 14, 2017
+released January 8, 2020
-* adapts error handling to changes in return messages of weather network previmeteo.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds web folder "http://ip-of-your-meteobridge/public/html" where files located in "html" folder on the Meteobridge PC network share are delivered by the Meteobridge web server.
-* adds some checks on providing correct API URL when feeding Meteotemplate sites.
-released May 7, 2017
+released January 6, 2020
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug (introduced with previous version) that impacted classical display loop templates.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug on importing Meteohub raw data, where temperatures were partly import wrong by factor 10 when they were below zero.
-released May 6, 2017
+released January 4, 2020
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes another OLED driver bug that tends to show first screen of loop after loop has been finished.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug on importing Meteohub raw data, where sea level pressure was imported wrong by factor 10.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug where addressing data back into last year with "@Mx" selector points into the void.
+* adds new sensor "wind0maxdir" that reports wind direction of maximum gust in the requested time frame. Example: [wind0maxdir-dmax:-] reports wind direction of todays maximum gust. [wind0maxdir-dmax=endir:-] does the same but reports as a text like "NWN" instead of degrees north. New "wind0maxdir" data starts being collected from installation of this version on, so it will not work back into the past.
-final 3.2 version released May 6, 2017
+released January 2, 2020
-* introduces limited time frame for update support. Free updates are available for first 2 years after license purchase. Having passed that period an update license that covers another two years of free update service can be purchased for 19 Euros. Purchase can be made within the Meteobridge application via a PayPal button. Being out of update services users will stick to their current version, which will stay operational. Bug fixing and trouble shooting will focus on new versions, there are no plans on back-porting bug fixes or deploying new features to older versions. Meteobridge PROs are not subject of these changes, they still get all updates for free.
+* [[File:htmlgen.png|right|450px]]Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds a service that generates HTML and text files based on a template file or a directly specified template description. Resulting file is stored in the "html" folder on the PC network share of the Meteobridge.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes an issue where most recent per minute data is not reflected in the hourly min/max or rain totals until the current hour has been finished.
+* fixes a bug that cuts off filenames after a blank when doing an FTP upload.
-released April 30, 2017
+released December 10, 2019
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes start/stop issue of OLED driver and improves CPU efficiency of OLED driver code.
+* adds support for extra temp, soil, leaf sensors to weather network MeteoMap.cloud
-* Meteobridge PRO: improves "once" display scripts to erase static screen content (like smartbedded intro logo) when triggered. This helps to render screen black after each round of displaying weather data.
-released April 28, 2017
+released December 4, 2019
-* Meteobridge PRO: improves display operation. While default display scripts show weather data on the display in a loop for a period of 5 minutes, there are now script variants available that run throw the loop only one time and switch off display after that. These variants end with "once" in the drop-down list, where you select the display scripts. When you trigger these scripts every 2 minutes, you get about 40 seconds of data being displayed, then display goes off and starts again displaying data when 2 minutes are passed. This helps reducing screen wear-out while still providing you with data on the display.<BR>[[File:once-display-scritp.png|450px]]
+* fixes a bug that prints out the wrong name of month when using [MMM] template variable in path names.
-released April 26, 2017
+released November 23, 2019
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug related to display operations.
+* fixes a startup problem with Italian provider Vodafone which automatically redirects some HTTP requests to HTTPS at a time when Meteobridge does not have the HTTPS enabled components downloaded. Symptom is that Meteobridge PRO did stay stuck to its current SW version although being told to download newest from Internet during boot.
-released April 22, 2017
+released November 22, 2019
-* Meteobridge PRO: switches OLED into sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. After that content is displayed for 3 secs every minute. When new data is sent to the display, it wakes up immediately and 5 minute countdown to sleep starts again. This measure protects display from early wear out. Timeout to sleep is hard coded and cannot be changed by the user right now.
+* adds support for additional temp/hum sensors to station Ventus W835.
-released April 12, 2017
+released November 18, 2019
-* fixes a bug that blocks "weather network" tab on certain conditions, like a freshly setup system.
+* fixes a bug in regard to weather station "Lufft WS-700" where a lot of warnings have been reported in the logs.
-released April 11, 2017
+released November 16, 2019
-* fixes a bug regarding "1 minute" uploads for Ambientweather Network.
+* expands maximum size of URLs used for individual HTTP uploads from 4000 to 8000 characters.
+* adds soil min/average/max soil temperature values for day/month/year when uploading to awekas weather network (needs a Davis Vantage station).
-released April 10, 2017
+released November 7, 2019
-* adds support for new weather data dashboard from AmbientWeather.

-* adds support for Thies Clima Sensor US station (9600 baud, 8N0, ASCII mode, ID=01).
-* fixes a bug handling negative temperatures with Rainwise CC3000 console.
-released March 29, 2017
+released October 26, 2019
-* switches to sealevel pressure computation inside Meteobridge, when WS600 station does report identical values for station and sealevel pressure.
+* fixes a bug regarding gust speed when uploading via "WL Cloud" and using an old Davis console firmware (pre 1.90).
-released March 22, 2017
+released October 25, 2019
-* adds Spanish as language option
+* changed upload to "WL Cloud" weather network from HTTP PUT to HTTP POST for better compatibility between different Meteobridge platforms (especially to support MR3020 v1).
-* fixes a bug related to additional temp sensors in regard to meteotemplate weather service.
+* adds support for old (pre 1.9 version firmware, which does not provide LOOP2 packets) on "WL Cloud" weather network upload.
-released March 13, 2017
+released October 22, 2019
-* fixes a bug that prevents from selecting "meteotemplate" weather network list.
+* some bug fixes on WL CLoud network support.
-released March 12, 2017
+released October 13, 2019
-* fixes a HTTPS related warning when including Meteobridge PRO charts, uploaded to your web server which operates on HTTPS.
+* fixes a bug regarding rain reporting for weather network "Meteomap Cloud" on some stations.

-* adds support for "Jachym"s Meteotemplate, which can now be selected as a standard weather network.
-* fixes a bug that slows down WU updates.
-released February 18, 2017
+released October 12, 2019
-* fixes a bug when selecting SSID from drop-down list that includes a colon ":".
+* reduces upload buffer size for Meteoplug Cloud network on systems with 32 MB RAM only. This is to avoid stalls/reboots on MR3020, MR3040, WR703N because of too low available RAM when buffers have filled up over time.
-* adds support for weather network "agroclima".
-* fixes a bug when using CWOP and APRS services in parallel.
-released February 11, 2017
+released October 6, 2019
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug in handling local timezone for charting purposes.
+* [[File:wlcloud.png|right|550px]]adds support for a new personal weather data upload service named "WL Cloud". This feature is only available for Meteobridges connected to a Davis data logger (Console or Envoy, not Envoy8x). It directly uploads data from the logger (not data from the Meteobridge) to an URL of your liking. Data consists of LOOP, HILOWS and DMPAFT data sets as provided from the Davis logger. Upload format is similar (and might be compatible) to what Davis uses to feed their weatherlink network. To have your web server ready for receiving the data, please use [https://admin.meteobridge.com/files/wlcloud.pl this perl code], which stores uploaded packet content on your server in separate files for further processing. Code is very simple and provides some comments to understand what kind of data is stored in the files. Feel free to use this code and change/distribute as you like.
-released February 5, 2017
+===Version 4.1===
-* fixes a bug in handling wind direction from Acurite Aculink devices.
+released October 5, 2019
+* changes time stamp for meteoclimatic uploads to "UTC" by dropping the "UPD" line.
+* fixes bug in "APM" selector for "moonrise" and "moonset" variables.
-released February 4, 2017
+released October 3, 2019
-* Meteobridge PRO: adds a function on "History" tab that starts a complete reconstruction of the database from the recorded hourly values. This helps in situations, when time zone has changed and as a result higher level aggregated data for days, months, etc will not have the correct time stamps anymore. The reconstruction will take some time and during that period storing new data will delayed until reconstruction has finished. Per minute data for the last hours will be lost by performing this operation. Progress of reconstruction will be reflected in messages section of "System" tab.
+* adds UTC data to uploads to weather network meteoclimatic.
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a deficiency, that database process can run into a failure loop, when some database tables are missing (because sensors might have been deleted on "History" tab). When this happens now, one error message will be reported and database table will be setup again to allow next operation on that sensor to be successful.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes not showing rain total data in graph on history tab.
-* Meteobridge PRO: adds an adjustable boot delay. This allows the Meteobridge PRO to wait 1 to 5 minutes after a restart before reaching out to the Internet. Optional boot delay can be adjusted on "System" tab.
+* has all images converted to GIF to free up some RAM.
-* summarizes repeating entries from the logger process in the messages section of "System" tab.
+* gives a bit more RAM headroom for platforms MR3020, MR3040 and WR703N when not using "Acurite Bridge" as weather station. This is to compensate for using new, bigger openssl libs to support TLS-only HTTPS uploads on those platforms.
-* fixes a bug that did no correctly handle events "before" and "after" day break. Time stamps used for collecting associated data were not correctly used.
-released January 29, 2017
+released September 21, 2019
-* fixes a bug that resets timezone to UTC when doing a reboot that forces to start in "LAN DHCP client" mode. This bug did show correct timezone settings on "system" tab but UTC was actually used.
+* [[File:w835large.png|right|200px]]fixes a bug that made version 4.1 not working properly on the less often used TL-MR3040 platform.
-* avoids redundant messages on "system" tab. Identical follow-up messages are replaced by a repeat notice.
+* adds support for Ventus W835 weather station which provides live data via USB.
-released January 22, 2017
+released September 14, 2019
-* fixes a frequent disconnect issue when using 3g USB dongles for Internet connectivity.
+* adds support soil temp and soil moisture sensor types for GW1000 station
-released January 21, 2017
+released September 8, 2019
-* fixes a bug that prevents from triggering events bound to a specific time of the day.
+* adds weather network Meteomap.cloud with a focus on weather maps and weather station data sites.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds chart template "allinone-wind1st-iso" which is a variant of "allinone-iso" with wind data on the top.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: template variable selector "nonzerotime" does now withstand a restart of the logger process.
-released January 17, 2017
+released September 4, 2019
-* Meteobridge PRO: adds a chart to show sunshine duration in case you have a modified Davis station that has a 3rd party sunshine sensor attached.
+* fixes below mentioned issue for Meteobridge on TL-MR3040 platform.
-* fixes a bug in handling of "no windchill" option on "station" tab (when used with Meteostick or Meteobridge PRO RED).
+released August 31, 2019
+* fixed an issue where TL-WR703N systems do not load complete application stack of version 4.1. This has been caused by a tmpfs overflow because of downloading new openssl libs in order to allow HTTPS traffic to websites supporting TLS only (no SSL).
+released August 28, 2019
+* "template.cgi" endpoint does not return HTTP error codes 503 and 504 if template cannot be evaluated for any reason. This makes it more easy for a reading processes to react correctly.
+released August 27, 2019
+* fixes a twitter openssl issue introduced with the previous release.
+released August 25/26, 2019
+* updates openssl and wget support on MR3020 and Meteobridge PRO platform to handle HTTPS targets that do no longer support SSL (but only TLS) due to security concerns. Previous error message "OpenSSL: Error ... reason(1040)" should be resolved by this.
+released August 19/20, 2019
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds the concept of meta charts to the graphing engine. Meta charts can easily be build by users and by that allow for easy creation of individual charts. Please read here about more details: https://www.meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/PRO_Graphs#Meta_Chart_Definition
+released August 16, 2019
+* when computing sunrise, sunset and daylength data the current day is determined by using local time instead of UTC.
+* adds "daysum", "monthsum" and "yearsum" as selectors for template variables in export definitions. This allows for example to sum up daily rain in an export file that has rows in an hourly resolution.
+released August 15, 2019
+* changes automated payment method from "PayPal" to "MyCommerce". This gives you more flexibility on payment options. When transaction is done, you get a license key to be manually entered on "License" tab and saved. Having done that, Meteobridge needs to be restarted to come up licensed. Update licenses to purchase additional 2 years of SW updates are handled the same way.
+===Version 4.0===
+released August 11/14/15, 2019
+* [[File:resetdash.png|right|450px]]Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug that stalls logger operation when Davis Weatherlink Live has once been selected as station.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds reset button to local HWS dashboard to allow a fresh install of the dashboard in case code has not been completely installed or is corrupted.
+released August 10, 2019
+* adds support for additional air quality sensors for GW1000 station. Up to 4 air quality sensors are now supported.
+released August 8, 2019

+* [[File:wr902acv3.png|right|350px]]'''Meteobridge is now available for the TP-Link WR902AC Version 3.x router'''. [[Preparing_Hardware#Flashing_Meteobridge_Firmware_to_TL-WR902AC_(version_3.x)]] section explains how to make a Meteobridge out of the WR902ACv3 standard router. Meteobridge supports the 2.4 GHz WLAN but not the 5 GHz mode. Flashing needs to be done by a TFTP server (as with MR3020 Version 3.x). Currently, there is no VM available that has the necessary TFTP service enabled, so you will have to set this up on your PC on your own.

+* adds support for air quality reporting to weather underground and ambientweather network.
-* Meteobridge PRO: adds a new allinoneminmax chart template that works like "allinone" but display min/max data which is suitable when looking for summary data on daily and monthly level. This charts show min, average and max values in the legend and also presents balloon data including date/time of min max data when moving the mouse to one of the data sets. As with all Meteobridge PRO charts, they are based on Javascript, which is embedded into a regular HTML file that can be uploaded to your server and can be presented there by iframing.
-* Meteobridge PRO: reflects selection of sensors to be used as primary sensors from "Live Data" tab when plotting charts.
-* Meteobridge PRO: changes execution of export data generation which should now handle parallel triggering events with successive FTP uploads of lastexport files fine.
-released October 20, 2016
-* Meteobridge PRO: Redesign of lastchart handling to make sure chart generations executed at the same time and which triggered FTP upload events are handled the right way to avoid mixing up the order of execution. When changes have proven being bug free, same will be applied for handling data export events which currently can't be executed at the same time in parallel.
+released May 18, 2019

-released October 19, 2016
-* [[File:chart-gen-and-upload.png|right|550px]]Meteobridge PRO: Making use of automated chart generation and upload should now be fully supported. As there occured a few questions how to use it, I give an example on the right. As you can see, event #6 generates every full hour a chart of todays data just before the new hour shows up. This triggers event #7 which uploads the generated html chart to a web server and gives it the name "daychart-(year)-(month)-(day).html". Current data for year, month, day is inserted by means of "gnu c strftime" function, which defines "%Y" as year, "%m" as month, and "%d" as day. After successful upload, the local file on the Meteobridge PRO is deleted, as indicated by the "Delete file" mark.
-released October 17, 2016
+released May 11, 2019
-* Meteobridge PRO: minor bug fixes related to the introduced chart feature.
+* fixes a bug that prevented from making use of the optional "delete file after upload" option when doing SFTP file uploads.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds a generic import function called "direct" to support easy import of natively not supported data formats. All the other supported import formats are internally converted to this format and then imported. A section on import formats has been added to the wiki: [[PRO_Tutorial#Data_Import]]
-released October 16, 2016
+released May 10, 2019
-* [[File:chart1.png|right]]Meteobridge PRO: initial support for generating charts. Feature is still beta, feedback from users is highly welcome. Charts can be defined on "Graphs" tab, where time period, resolution, language and chart type can be selected. Meteobridge shows chart inline and provides two URLs, where the chart can be accessed. "local URL" works in your LAN, while "remote URL" allows you to access it from the Internet, when you have remote access enabled. Charts can also be generated on "Services" tab in a periodical manner. Charts are stored as html pages in "charts" folder, which can be accessed as Meteobridge PC network folder. FTP Upload of charts is also supported, by which you can make these accessible on your web server. "chart:lastchart" mechanics can be used for an FTP upload triggered by making the chart (this works analogous to the "lastexport" item when uploading export files). There is only one chart defined right now (allinone) in iso and imperial flavor, but more to come. Chart definitions are located in "templates" folder and have extension ".chart". Meteobridge charts are based on the "amcharts.com" package which smartbedded has licensed in a redistributable way. Nevertheless, please be aware that you are not allowed to used the included chart libs for purposes outside Meteobridge. Meteobridge charts are interactive, you can select and deselect data, you can modify the time line, and much more. You find a chart generated by my Meteobridge PRO [http://tau.meteobridge.com/files/allinone-imp-min-201610150000-201610160000.html here]. Feel free to inspect it.

-released October 13, 2016
+released May 5, 2019
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a shortly introduced bug throwing errors in system log when uploading WD Live data packets.
+* adds experimental support for Davis Weather Link Live device. This is still very experimental, intended to find bugs with the help of Meteobridge users. No way ready for production. We still need a leaf/soil station connected to a WLL to read out and understand the data format for that particular sensor type.
+===Version 3.9===
+released May 5, 2019
+* version 3.9 finalized.
-released October 10, 2016
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug where wind direction is not provided correctly in the database.
+released April 28, 2019
+* [[File:gw1000.png|right|150px]]adds support for new weather station gateway GW1000 from Fine Offset. GW1000 collects data from up to 8 WH31 sensors (temp/hygro with display), 16 WH51 sensors (soil temp and moisture with sensor cable and display), a WS68 sensor unit delivering outdoor temp/hum, wind and uv/solar data, a Wh40 rain counter, and finally a WH41 air quality meter. The GW1000 gateway connects via WiFi to your LAN and provides data to the Meteobridge, when Meteobridge is told the IP of the GW1000. Apart from the standard set the GW1000 supports soil sensors and an air quality sensor. Implementation has been tested with quite a few sensors in the meanwhile. Please report bugs in the corresponding thread in the forum.
-released October 8, 2016

+* fixes the pressure bug when sending data to windy.
+* [[File:newvocore2.png|right|400px]]Meteobridge NANO: adds TX power boost mode for the new batch of NANOs (left picture, with a red strap instead of a black strap). This option makes use of the better RF power emission of the new batch of VoCore2 modules. Please be aware that this mode draws so much power that the console needs support by additional batteries or (better) a more juicy power supply (minimum 500 mA). The standard 300 mA power supply of the Davis console cannot feed this mode, voltage will plump on WiFi operation and make the NANO reboot. Please use this mode only, when you experience WiFi reach problems. If your WiFi operation is fine, don't mess with this mode. Black strap NANOs don't have this option.
-released October 3, 2016
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes some bugs around manual editing of values in database.
+released April 18, 2019
+* [[File:windy.png|right|400px]]adds weather network windy.com. It needs an API key that users can generate once they have registered an account.
-released October 2, 2016
-* Meteobridge PRO: removes no longer used per minute data from USB database during database initialization on startup.
+released April 15, 2019
+* more changes on OpenWeatherMap support. Meteobridge does now check for a station already being registered at the provided API key. If not, Meteobridge will register a station. If there is already a station registered the first one from the list (in case there are multiple stations registered) will be used by Meteobridge for uploading. This is still experimental, but please give it a try. Deleting the stations Meteobridge might have registered before is a good step to start with. OpenWeatherMap API documentation explains how to delete stations via HTTP requests. I am still disappointed that OpenWeatherMap does not provide features to setup/maintain/delete stations within their web interface, which is clearly the right way to go.
-released October 1, 2016
-* Meteobridge PRO: improvements on internal database handling.
-* fixes issue that sometimes "no Internet connection" is displayed instead of WAN IP on "System" tab.

+released March 26, 2019
+* fixes a newly introduced bug that inhibits uploading to ambient weather network.
-released September 23, 2016
-* adds support for sun shine duration sensors for Davis Vantage as sold by "weerhuisje.nl" and "weatherstations.co.uk". You need a Meteostick or a Meteobridge PRO to make use of this feature. It adds a new station type item "Sunshine Station" to select and provides a new sensor variable "sun0total" which sums up hours of sunshine on daily, monthly, yearly level.
-* adds support for Ambient Weather Observer IP WS-900 weather station
+released March 25, 2019
+* NANO SD: fixes backup script.
-released September 12, 2016
-* maps soil temperature sensor of Acurite Aculink bridge to sensor IDs "t?temp" where "?" is a number starting at 10.
-* pushes date of pure temp sensors with IDs "t10temp" until "t13temp" as soil temperature to weatherunderground. This allows non Davis stations to also report soil temperatures as Acurite Aculink bridge, for example.
-* better support of Davis leaf stations with Meteostick.
+released March 24, 2019
+* [[File:cabure.png|right|400px]] adds support for agriculture weather network Caburé in Argentina.
+* adds periodical triggers for "every two days" and "weekly".
+* fixes template variable "mbsystem-station" to report name of selected station type.
+* NANO SD: fixes newly introduced bug which inhibits backup script execution.
+* [[File:owmapi3.png|right|400px]] switches support for OpenWeatherMap to their new API 3.0. This was necessary because upload using legacy API is no longer available for new users. Using API 3.0 needs you to enter the APP ID you are granted by OpenWeatherNet when setting up your account. When you enter APP ID and station name and press "save" a station ID will be automatically assigned at OpenWeatherMap. Support for this rather complicated and complicated to use weather network is still experimental.
-released August 24, 2016
-* fixes a bug that an event which is triggered by another event might be started in reverse order.
+released March 17, 2019
-* fixes handling of return messages from WOW weather network.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug that can make Meteobridge reboot when doing a database backup.
-* fixes a bug that does not correctly start/stop logging process after making changes on "station" tab. This could have produced database locks on Meteobridge PRO systems.
+* adds experimental support for Davis LOOP2 packet evaluation when Meteobridge is in "slave" mode. In "slave" mode a PC connects to the Meteobridge on port 22222 and takes over control by directly accessing the Davis console and taking over control.
-* adds time control for periodic data exports to be triggered before or after a full hour, day, month, year has been started. Example: This allows to export all data of the current day just before day has passed (option: "before day break"). To be precise, this service is triggered when the day has just passed but data taken into account is limited to the day that has just passed. This makes definition of services that intend to export data of completed days/months/years more easy and straight forward.
+* adds Davis forecast texts in Spanish. Corresponding template variable is "texteshtml".
-* adds option to FTP upload service, that allows to automatically delete the file from export folder when file has been uploaded successfully.
+released March 13, 2019
+* improves handling of semaphores in "template.cgi" script which can be used for polling weather data from the Meteobridge as HTTP replies. This should solve situations where the script did no longer report data when being interrupted once.
+released March 11, 2019
+* fixes a bug that limits AWEKAS uploads not to be less often than every 5 minutes when using fastlink option.
-released August 17, 2016
+released March 2, 2019
-* adds optional retries for HTTP push services. Number of retries depend on send intervals.
+* [[File:data21.png|right|350px]]Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: allows to feed alien data (as "data21num") into Meteobridge by providing an executeable shell script as /root/datafeed that returns "data21 xxx", where xxx is an integer number which will be divided by 100 when used by Meteobridge. Example: File "/root/datafeed" is defined as follows and presents value "100.00" on the live data display for sensor "data21num":
+<pre>#!/bin/sh
+#
+echo "data21 10000"

-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes bugs when using "@" time addresses with template variables, like "rain0total-sum@h12" which returns sum of rain fall during last 12 hours.
-* finalized support for new Aculink bridge firmware. Meteobridge does now support old and new Aculink bridge firmware.
+released January 13, 2019
+* [[File:meteoclim.png|right|500px]]adds support for weather network meteoclimatic. Data is uploaded to the Meteobridge server and meteoclimatic data collector needs to be told the URL where to pick the data from. URL is individual and provided as "Data Link" on Meteobridge "Weather Network" tab. Green marks just indicate that the Meteobridge server did store the data, it does not show if meteoclimatic has grabbed data from there. This loose coupling is one of the disadvantages of the "drop and forget" data upload schema, you don't get feedback if data has finally reached its destination.
-released July 29, 2016
-* alpha support for new Acurite Aculink bridge data format (still looking for a users bridge to test with)
-* larger input field for WOW site ID to better handle the new very long ID token from WOW.
-* THB sensors with missing temperature and/or humidity data are no longer added with artificial temp/hum data. Temp/hum information for these sensors are no longer provided (example: On Meteostick variable "thb0hum" is missing and on Acurite Aculink bridge "thb0temp" and/or "thb0hum" are be missing).
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes some bugs on database requests,
-* Meteobridge PRO: adds check for RAM database consistency, when database repair option is selected.
+released January 6, 2019
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds export template "wswin-monthly" to generate monthly data exports for WSWIN (just on hourly level).
-released July 21, 2016
-* reduces fastest update interval for WOW to 10 minutes, in order to avoid bad packet messages with WOW.
-* fixes current changes to final version 3.0 and allows to stick to this version on "system" tab.
-* shortest WOW update interval is set to 10 minutes to avoid rejected data transmission.
+released January 5, 2019
+* [[File:wswin.png|right|500px]]Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds a weather network entry "WSWIN Data Feed" that allows to build "import.csv" files in network folder "export". WSWIN can be pointed to this file to read data ongoing in per minute resolution from the Meteobridge. Interval to build this file can be between every 5 minutes up to every hour. Please keep in mind that doing short intervals will add to the wear of your USB or SD-card storage in the Meteobridge.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds option "pragma exportfile=xyz" to be used within export templates. Using this option will store export data with filename "xyz" in export folder instead using template name and selected time frame and resolution as file name.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds option "pragma append=y" to be used in order to add more line to an already existing file without repeating the header lines. Using this option is helpful to incrementally add data to an export file.
+* adds soil temperature and soil moisture values of a Davis Vantage to be reported to ambientweather network.
-released July 20, 2016
-* fixes LOOP and LPS errors occurring when using Vantage IP data logger.
+released January 2, 2019
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds option "pragma crlf=y" to be used within export templates. Using this option will result into an export file with Windows style terminated lines (CR+LF) instead of just LF.

-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes error messages popping up on early 3.0 version when generating WDL exports.
-released July 12, 2016
+released December 27, 2018
-* Meteobridge PRO: massive rework of how data is stored. In essence there now is a pseudo persistent database keeping data in per minute resolution for the last 36 hours and a database in internal USB store that holds data on per hour/day/month/year level forever. Flash wear is reduced by about factor 60 and capacity of 8GB also looks to be overstated as USB database will grow very slowly. As so many code fractions needed to be adapted, there might still be some bugs here and there. Please report bugs to "info(at)meteobridge.com". We expect things going smooth after s short time.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds support for importing weewx database csv exports.

+* WL330NG3: fixes a bug in the application stack the prevents systems to start after reboot
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds "Meteotemplate" and "Cumulus Monthly Reports" as import format. Please realize that support of all that new data import functions is still beta, as I don't have excessive data to test with.
+released December 22, 2018
+* [[File:import1.png|right|500px]]Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds data import function on "Hirstory tab. In a first step import of Meteohub raw data files and Meteoplug monthly export files are supported. Files can be zipped (".zip") or gnuzipped (".gz") or plain text. Files need to be copied into "import" folder on PC network share provided by Meteobridge. There is an option to skip malformed records or to halt import. Meteohub and Meteoplug provide up to 4 million raw data records per months, so this can take half an hour (NANO SD) or an hour (PRO) to import. While import is running, new logged data is queued and stored into database when import is done. Feeding of weather networks is halted during the import.
+released December 20, 2018
+* adds support for ELV RS350 room climate logger, which provides 5 indoor sensors only (neither wind, pressure nor rain data).
+* directs link to weather cam inside HomeWeatherStation Dashboard to the Meteobridge Camera Service, which uploads your local weather camera pictures to the Meteobridge server in the Internet. You first have to enable this service on "Weather Net" tab.
+* adds support for IP connected Lufft WS10 stations.
+* Meteobridge on TL-MR3020v3: adds a feature that allows to act as a TFTP server to flash more TL-MR3020v3 devices into Meteobridges. All needed is to browse to "http://ip-of-your-meteobridge/cgi-bin/clone.cgi" and to follow instructions. This does not help you to flash the first TL-MR3020v3 but allows you to more easily replicate once you have one running.
-released July 3, 2016
+released December 9, 2018
-* makes use of a vector adding method to compute average wind direction. Result is no longer restricted to a fixed number of direction buckets (have been 16 in the past)
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO: improves tests for WiFi connection issues and rebuilding WiFi connection if needed.
-* Meteobridge PRO: in order to eliminate the USB flash defects which are likely to occur after a certain time of use, we decided to dramatically reduce update interval of the internal database. Now data is only written every 15 minutes to the internal database. When this works flawless, update interval is planned to be further extended to every hour. As a result database will no longer provide per minute data. Nevertheless, the current 24h data will be available in RAM, so min/max/avg data of last minutes hours can still be computed correctly. RAM data also survives controlled reboots. Impact of stripping away the per minute database representation in regard to template variables is described in the Template section of the wiki.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: shows data overview graphs on "History" tab in imperial units, when "imperial" flag is marked.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: improves handling of "lastchart.html" pointer, which now can handle generation and FTP upload of multiple charts at same point in time (as long as FTP uploads are directly triggered by a chart generation event).
+* fixes bug that limits firmware updates for Meteostick to version 2.5.1 instead of using newest version 2.5.2
+* adds support for Meteostick firmware updates to TL-MR3020v3 platform.
+released December 5, 2018
+* adds converter "epoch" to modify time stamps. It returns the Linux epoch time equivalent of the time stamp (seconds since Jan 1, 1970).
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds variant of allinone chart template that also displays a soil temperature (sensor "th1" is used). New chart is named "allinonesoil" and comes in ISO and IMP flavour.
+released December 4, 2018
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a yesterday introduced bug on data export function and fixes operation of "emptylines=n/y" pragma operation.

-released June 28, 2016
+* Meteobridge PRO and NANO: changes code to potentially improve WLAN long-term stability.
-* fixes a bug which sometimes stalls https requests and by that blocks all uploading.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: when calling a chart, URL parameter "sensormap" allows to use alternative sensors instead of the ones programmed in the chart definition. Assume a chart shows data for "thb0" and "th0" then adding "&sensormap=th1,thb9" to the chart URL will make the chart to show data for "th1" instead of "th0" and data for "thb9" instead of "thb0". This is an easy work-around to avoid definition of duplicated charts for various sensors of the same kind.
-* information: Sonotrigger has released an Android app to display Meteobridge data easily and nicely on your smartphone (http://software.sonotrigger.com/)

+released November 21, 2018
+* [[File:hws1.png|right|450px]]Meteobridge NANO SD: We did a port of Brian's famous HomeWeatherStation template to run on the NANO SD. To have this activated it just needs you to select "Local Dashboard" on "Weather Network" tab and then to give it an upload interval. In order to have current conditions and forecast information on the dashboard, you need to signup to DarkSky an CheckWX services, both free of charge for private use. The HomeWeatherStation dashboard receives historical data from the NANO SD database and makes use of the Meteobridge charting engine powered by the amcharts JavaScript package. Dashboard can be used locally in your LAN but also from the Internet by a remote link. To access the dashboard no credentials of the Meteobridge admin web interface are needed. Dashboard also adapts to mobile devices. This is the first time we offer a powerful dashboard, locally hosted on a Meteobridge without any need for setting up a web server. We hope you enjoy this feature and I have to say a big thanks to Brian, who was so generous to allow me to bundle his template with the Meteobridge software in order to make it most easy for you to use. In case of technical interest you can download my adaption of HomeWeatherStation template from [http://content.meteobridge.com/files/hwslocal.tgz here]. Let us realize for a moment that all this is provided by a stamp-sized module in the back of a Davis console! Future is now ;-)

+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: makes non iterating part of an export template (the lines that start with "$") subject to general template variable replacements. This allows to add summary information about a month to an export that in principle just iterates all the days of the month. This is a new fundamental features to generate summary reports.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds NOAA like monthly reports a templates for data export. Both styles, ISO and IMP are available ("NOAA-monthly-iso" and "NOAA-monthly-imp"). These template allow to automatically generate a monthly weather data file in NOAA style file which can then be sent via email to an interested user or uploaded via FTP to a server.
+* Meteobridge NANO SD: initializes SMB user "meteobridge" with password "meteobridge" on first start.

-* adds Dutch WOW-NL network, which runs a partnership with UK WOW office.
+* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug when generating an export file for data of a year in hourly resolution. Formerly the export of data got stuck in an endless loop when reaching the boundary where winter time skips to summer time. This resulted into filling up of all disk space and a stalled export process.
-* Meteobridge PRO: write frequency of "non-weather" data like signal level, battery level, all the system information is reduced to every 5 minutes instead of every minute. That reduces write load and write volume in regard to the database significantly and makes database operations more crisp and reduces "database locked" situations.
-released March 28, 2016

+* adapts to forced HTTPS data uploads PreviMeteo decided to use for the upload URL shortly.
-* Meteobridge PRO: allows to select stored database backups for restore operation. Backup can be provided on a connected USB stick or can be the old database put aside while doing a repair. This helps recovering from a failed database repair. Database restore operation itself is still not implemented. This will be part of the next update.
-* Meteobridge PRO: database repair can be scheduled for next reboot, but will not happen on every reboot. Also some sanity checks are added which should prevent from loosing database content by a failed repair. The replaced database is kept on the file system as "dbase.old" ready for restore operation.
+released August 27, 2018
+* fixes a freshly introduced bug that prevents web cam pictures to be uploaded to the Meteobridge server.
-released March 7, 2016
-* Meteobridge PRO: adds optional database consistency check on boot including automated database repair, if needed. Database repair takes serious time but can recover a database from many situations where it otherwise would need to be started from scratch or with the help of a backup. Option can be selected on "system" tab.
-* allows a better adaption to leaf/soil sensor configurations when using Meteostick or Meteobridge PRO red. You can now choose betwen three types of leaf/soil sensor arrays. 1) combined leaf/soil transmitter, 2) leaf only, 3) soil only. This avoids phantom soil or leaf sensors popping up.
-* minor fixes in regard to the new SMS service and update of the wiki sections to explain how to use SMS service via MessageBird.
-* Meteobridge PRO: handling of comments in export file definitions is now exactly done a described in the [http://meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/PRO_Tutorial#Define_CSV_Schema wiki].
+released August 26, 2018
+* [[File:consoleread.png|right|500px]]adds feature to transfer rain totals for day, month, year from Davis Vantage/Vue console to Meteobridge. Not supported on Meteobridge PRO.
+* adds feature to transfer min/max data of some sensors from Davis Vantage/Vue console to Meteobridge. This is recommended for initial setup only as it might result into inconsistencies (thb0seapress data is provided, but no thb0press data) and it will also erase date/time stamps for those sensors as the console does not provide date/time stamps for all min/max values). Not supported on Meteobridge PRO.
+* Meteobridge NANO: adds a feature to compensate for heating-up the console a bit by the NANO plug-in. This results into higher indoor temp readings as they actual are. An offset to compensate for that can be specified in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Recommended value is -6° Fahrenheit.
-released March 3, 2016

-released March 3, 2016
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a major bug that renders "Live Data" tab unresponsive during first couple of minutes after restarting data logger process.
-* Meteobridge PRO: there were some situations where services got stalled after some time. Detailed analysis showed that this is caused by crashing of a central service handler thread. Code is changed to monitor this thread and to restart it again in case it is not running anymore. While this is a proper method to cure the symptoms (and a better design anyway) the root cause is still under analysis. Services that triggered this kind of stall were CWOP and APRS, both using socket services. Therefore, chances are good something in the socket handling is not 100% bullet proof in a threaded, partly concurrent environment. As the Unixers say "socket programming separate the man from the boy", so it looks I am a bit younger than expected ;-) I write a bit more technical here, because there were some bug reports about stalled units and you deserve to understand what this is about.
-* [[File:testtrigger.png|right|]]Meteobridge PRO: changes in database timing should reduce "database locked" events.
-* adds a "test" button to allow manual trigger of defined events. This makes it more easy to test you events.
-* '''adds SMS notification''' as another push service beside email and twitter. This makes use of messagebird.com services, where you can generate an account, put some money via PayPal onto your account and then you can send SMS until the money you stored there is consumed. All you need to make use of this service is to insert your MessageBird password (which you generate once you have an account there).
-[[File:sms.png|right|]]
-[[File:smsx.png|right|]]
-Please be aware that firing tons of SMS from your Meteobridge can do some financial damage to you by eating up the credit you deposited at MessageBird. Please also be aware that smartbedded is not giving any guarantee that just a certain number of SMS is generated. You do that at your own risk and we do not guarantee proper function of SMS services in Meteobridge.

+released August 15, 2018
+* fixes a bug that Davis console initialization remains incomplete when all setup options are selected.
+* adds a feature to set logging interval of the Davis data logger. This interval is meaningless for Meteobridge operation (as Meteobridge does not rely on the Davis logger) but might be interesting, when a PC connects directly via port 22222 to the Davis logger.
-released February 21, 2016
+released August 14, 2018
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug in regard to front panel reset button display options.

All you need is to set the corresponding mark and to add your individual fastlink key to the AWEKAS credentials on your Meteobridge "weather network" tab.
+* adapts Davis Vantage forecast text regarding expected North directed wind shifts, which need to be directed to the South when station is located on the south globe.
+released July 26, 2018
+* fixes a bug on platforms TL-MR3020v3 and TL-WR902AC that inhibited to make use of a bridged device on the Meteobridge LAN port by Meteobridge itself. Example: Meteobridge is connected via WiFi to your LAN and has a webcam directly connected to its LAN port. So far on TL-MR3020v3 and TL-WR902AC this webcam has been connected with the LAN fine (when bridge mode on Meteobridge is enabled on "Network" tab) but Meteobridge itself was not able to connect to it (while every other device in your LAN could). This bug is fixed now. Please note that only the mentioned new platforms have been impacted by that.
-released February 19, 2016
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug related to measurement of transferred data
-* Meteobridge PRO: adds a pragma to fill smaller signal gaps in exports. This can be controlled by pragma "#fillgap=nn" in export template definitions, where nn is number of seconds a signal can be absent before filling with last data stops. Default is 300 seconds to be consistent with default hold time, that tells when a sensor is reported to be out of data when looking at live data.
+released July 20, 2018

+** date and time as received from the Internet
+** longitude, latitude, timezone and altitude based on the settings specified within the Meteobridge
+** rain collector size (also rain season start as defined by Meteobridge)
+** wind cup size (for Vantage Pro2 only)
+** display modes for console regarding time and date format
-released January 27, 2016
+===Version 3.6===
-* Meteobridge PRO: adds experimental support for Huawei E160 GPRS/3G USB dongle to directly connect to the Internet by mobile providers without need of LAN/WLAN. When a recognized dongle is connected, Meteobridge PRO offers a dialog on "network" tab to specify mobile credentials as shown on the right. Settings for German mobile providers Vodafone and T-Online/Telekom are predefined. To support other providers CHAT strings used for setting up the connection can be edited. In this mode internal WiFi of Meteobridge PRO can be used to act as an 3G router, where devices connecting to the Meteobridge PRO via WiFi (DHCP is supported) do also gain Internet access via the GPRS/3G dongle. To avoid spoiling your mobile data volume by loading application stack each time on restart, you can select "use internally stored version" on "System" tab. Please make sure that this release has been downloaded first, before sticking to it on internal storage.

-* [[File:usbstore.png|right]]Meteobridge PRO: allows to select which USB port to use as data store. Default is internal USB port, but ports on front and back panel can also be equipped with a USB stick and can be used as storage media. This allows the user to upgrade the USB store with larger/faster data store that can be easily replaced if necessary. When USB stick is used first time it will be reformatted and equipped with an ext4 on device level, without further partitioning. Switching to a new USB port used as database store needs a reboot. Unplugging a USB stick currently in use is not recommended and provides a high risk of rendering the database on the stick useless.
+* Meteobridge PRO: fixes bug regarding "ydaymin" and "ydaymax" values on first day of a month.
-* [[File:passphrase.png|right]]allows to show WiFi passphrase while typing in on "network" tab.

+* [[File:tl-mr3020v3.png|right|250px]]todays release of a new firmware version (1.3) for TP-Link MR3020 V3 '''** WHICH NOW ALSO SUPPORTS WIFI **''' gives Meteobridge a cheap, capable and world-wide available Meteobridge platform for years to come. Compared to the legacy MR3020 we have double the ROM/RAM and we don't no longer need any USB hubs in order to have a USB weather station connected. When you had a former Meteobridge firmware installed on MR3020 V3 we strongly recommend to upgrade to the new one. Doing so will need to have your license adapted. Please contact "info(at)meteobridge.com" by providing the MAC of your unit, we will swap the license to the newly flashed MR3020 V3. Please visit hardware section to understand how to flash a MR3020 V3 and where to find the firmware image.

+released March 10, 2018
+* adds template variable expressions "[mbsystem-primarysensors:]" and "[mbsystem-noprimarysensors:]" to control inside a template if "0" sensors (like th0, wind0, rain0, etc) should be replaced by sensors defined on "Live Data" tab as primary or taken literally. The mentioned template expressions are evaluated to the empty string and thereby do nothing directly in your template but control how variables are evaluated as a side effect.
+* Centrally hosted upload template for "Hetweeractuel" has been updated to use primary sensors: http://templates.meteobridge.com/hetweeractueel.template
-released December 20, 2015

-* Meteobridge PRO: new template features to make data in the database fully accessible to templates: ''Selectors val, min, max, avg, sum, mintime, maxtime can be combined with a "@YYYYMMDDhhmm" specifier, which determines the point in time where the data should be taken from. This specifier also defines if data should be used on a per minute, per hour, per day, per month or per year resolution. To get data in a per minute resolution the specifier needs to define the point in time down to the minute. Example: "min@201512190900" selects minimum data from December 19, 2015 at 09:00 (on a per minute base), while "min@2015121909" selects minimum data from December 19, 2015 09:00 until 9:59 (on a per hour base).'' Please find more details [http://meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/Templates#Meteobridge_PRO_Additions here].
+* adds new sensor type "lgt" for handling lightning events as provided by WeatherFlow AIR station. "lgt0dist" return distance in kilometers, "lgt0energy" the strength of the strike and "lgt0total" number of lightning strikes for a given time period. Template section of the wiki has also been updated accordingly.
-* improves wind data handling for Peetbros weather stations.

+released February 24, 2018
-* adds feature to schedule data exports to PC network share as a new service on Meteobridge PRO.
+* [[File:wflogo.png|right|200px]][[File:wflow-300.png|right|200px]] adds full support for WeatherFlow AIR and SKY stations. Although these stations are part of your LAN/WLAN Meteobridge does not need to know their IP. This is a cool feature made possible by the station that sends data out as UDP broadcasts. Backside of this very convenient technique is, that the data cannot be routed and by that Meteobridge cannot connect to a WeatherFlow station outside the local LAN/WLAN.
+* adds a feature to address the sensors marked on "Live Data" tab as primary in template definitions. Please read details here...<BR>Since version 3.6 Meteobridge also supports selection of a sensor which has been defined on "Live Data" tab as primary. When no primary selection has been made all the "0" sensors (like "th0temp", "wind0wind", etc) are primary by default. But when you select "th3temp" as primary sensor and by that its data is reported as your stations outdoor temperature to all the weather networks, then you can now also select the primary sensor in your template definitions by selecting it as the "*" sensor. For example: "th*temp" selects the sensors defined as the primary outdoor temp sensor. When you use "[th*temp-act:--]" you get the current temperature of your primary outdoor temp sensor. This will be a synonym to "[th0temp-act:--] as long as you have not selected another sensor as primary outdoor temp sensor. But when you have selected "th3temp" to be the primary outdoor temp sensor, then "th*temp" will reference to "th3temp" instead of "th0temp". Please be aware that Meteobridge versions before version 3.6 will fail to evaluate "*" sensors. Therefore, it is recommended to provide both notations in a template and to make use of the conditional evaluation as explained in a later chapter. Here is an example that takes "th0temp" as default outdoor sensor on older Meteobridge versions and newer "th*temp" notation on current ones: <font face="Courier"><span style="background-color:lightgrey;">#if{*[mbsystem-swversion:1.0]>=3.6*}#then#outdoor temp: [th*temp-act:--]°C#else#outdoor temp: [th0temp-act:--]°C#fi#</span></font face>

-released November 7, 2015
-* introduces simple trend analysis on time series data. New selectors are named delta1, delta2, ..., delta60, delta1h, delta2h, ..., delta24h which represents the difference between the current value of the sensor compared to the sensor value 1, 2, ..., 60 minutes or 1, 2, ..., 24 hours ago. A negative delta value indicates that sensor value has decreased. In order to put this into categories meaningful for air pressure trends, a converter "barotrend" is defined that results to -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. Converter "enbarotrend" reports the trend in English synonyms FF (falling fast = -2), FS (falling slowly = -1), ST (stable = 0), RS (rising slowly = 1), RF (rising fast = 2). Threshold levels are explained in the template section of the wiki. Example: "[thb0seapress-delta1h=barotrend:0]" returns "1" when pressure has slightly (0.3 to 0.6 inHg) increased over the last hour. "[thb0seapress-delta3h=enbarotrend:--]" returns "ST" when pressure difference between now and 3 hours ago is in -0.3 to 0.3 inHg range.

+released January 28, 2018
+* [[File:tl-mr3020v3.png|right|250px]]Support for version 3 hardware of the TL-MR3020 from TP-Link has been added. This support does come with two caveats:
+** As we are lacking reliable working Open Source WiFi drivers for this new device, Meteobridge can currently offer LAN operation only. It remains unclear if/when this limit can be lifted.
+** The stock firmware only accepts updates of TP-Link signed updates. By that the Meteobridge firmware cannot be flashed to the device by the web interface. To work around this you have to setup of a TFTP server on your PC that provides the Meteobridge firmware for flashing. Flashing itself is easy, but it needs you to setup the TFTP server first.
+* You find a description how to flash the MR3020v3 in the "Preparing Hardware" section and can have a look at the hardware details of this new platform in "hardware" section. First tests indicate that this version 3 of the MR3020 does no longer need a USB hub to connect to the weather stations, which is nice. As Meteobridge support for MR3020v3 is brand new, there will for sure still be some bugs. We are happy when you report those in the forum, so that we can get rid of them fast. As with all new ports, please be a bit patient if it takes a few days until an issue is solved.
-released October 16, 2015
-* adds support for CH341 usb serial converter to all Meteobridge platforms (TP-Link platforms with firmware version below 1.4 are not updated as they don't offer enough free flash).
-* fixes a dnsmasq related issue that blocks local name resolution when Meteobridge tries to resolve names when reaching out to devices in the LAN.
+released January 27, 2018
+* some minor bug fixes on the new Meteobridge release for TL-WR902AC platform.
+* fixes a bug with the firmware download links on "Preparing Hardware" page.
+* adds Turkish language option and improves Dutch language support.
-released October 5, 2015
-* fixes a potential DNS issue in case Meteobridge is not behind a firewall that blocks incoming DNS requests on port 53 (open recursive DNS resolver issue). Anyway, we strongly recommend not to expose a Meteobridge directly to the Internet. It is meant to operate in a protected LAN/WLAN.
+released January 24, 2018
+* [[File:tl-wr902ac.png|right|250px]]New hardware TL-WR902AC from TP-Link has been added to the list of supported devices. "Hardware" section and "Preparing Hardware" section are updated and explain how to flash these devices. The WR902 offers twice the RAM and Flash-ROM compared to MR3020, which makes developing SW for it a bit more relaxed. Feature-wise Meteobridge on this device is identical to all the other non-pro Meteobridge platforms. While WR902AC is able to operate on the 5 GHz band Meteobridge is currently only operating in the standard 2.4 GHz Band. This shouldn't be an issue as there are rarely any 5 GHz only WLANs and 2.4 GHz has anyway better RF reach and we don't really need top speed for Meteobridge operation. If the WR902AC also needs a USB hub to connect to USB 1.x weather stations is not known yet. It also has an Atheros chip, but it is another model and may be the drivers for this model do it right now... we 'll see. The port to WR902AC made switching from openwrt to lede on OS level necessary, so we had to setup a complete new compile chain. Therefore, the port might still have some bugs. If you discover some bugs, please report and please be a bit patient if fixing takes a few days. Currently the WR902AC is sold as hardware revision 1.x. You can see from the TP-Link pages that they are preparing to release a version 3 model, which seems to use different hardware. So take your chance to get a version 1 WR902AC which are widely available on world-wide level right now.

+* reduces pointless writing of same sensor values into internal storage every few seconds for WMR-300 weather station. Now data in Meteobridge is only updated when sensor data has changed or 50 seconds have passed. By that storage consumption is reduced without compromising on tracking fast sensor data changes.
+* adds support for Oregon Scientific low budget weather station WMR-89. Support is still experimental, but we have been asked many times to support this station, which we now do :-)
-released July 5, 2015
+released January 8, 2018
-* fixes a bug which prevents application of rain multiplier settings when uploading data to Meteoplug cloud service.

-* fixes a shortly introduced bug related to rain total evaluation.
+* adds "MMM" template variable to report month as English three letter abbreviation ("Jan", "Feb", etc).
+* adds multiplier to template variable converter. For example: Converter "F10" reports temperature in degrees Fahrenheit multiplied by 10. That way template variables can report current outdoor temp in 1/10 of degrees Fahrenheit ("th0temp-act=F10") or daily rain fall in 1/100 inch ("rain0total-sumday=in100").

Supported relay is [http://pandatron.de/?partno=91017&tx=pusbio1r_-_multifunction_relays_with_usb_interface&lng=us PUSBIO1R] from Pandatron. This 1-port USB relay can be connected to the USB hub connected to your Meteobridge in parallel to your weather station. Meteobridge provides a low level driver to send on/off commands to the USB relay by means of executing a script that calls "/home/meteohub/swusb" with parameters "on" or "off". To make it most easy for you, there is already a script predefined (Pandatronic PUSBIO1R USB switch) that can be used within push services definitions. The example below can be used to control a rain funnel heater, which is switched on when outdoor temperature falls below 0° Celsius and is switched off when temp raises again above 0° Celsius. Please see example below for details.

+* [[File:bandwidth2.png|right|500px]]renames Meteostick RF bandwidth options from "narrow / normal / wide" to "direct / via console". "direct" (which corresponds to formerly "narrow") has to be used when receiving data directly from the Davis sensors or from an external Davis repeater. When packets retransmitted from the Davis console should be read, option "via console" has to be used. This is identical to formerly used option "normal". Option "wide" has been dropped, as it has shown not to be useful in Davis RF context.

-* makes http upload timeouts a bit less strict
+* Meteobridge PRO: enhances "@YYYY" addressing schema to be used with template variables. When "YYYY" is not defining a valid year but is in the range of "0000" to "0010" then "0000" is interpreted as the current year, "0001" as the previous year and so on. In that situation the 4 digit number expresses how many years to skip into the past. These skips need to be in 4-digit style, leading zeros are not allowed to be omitted.
-* fixes a bug that breaks Vantage WLIP pass-through some times.
+* Meteobridge PRO: more robust execution of database repair tasks.

-* adds selector "age" to all sensors to allow for testing how old the sensor data is. Value returned is number of seconds since last data reception. Example: Variable "th0temp-age" tells seconds passed since last update from outdoor temperature sensor.
+* [[File:sftp1.png|right|500px]][[File:sftp2.png|right|500px]]adds SFTP upload option. This supports password protected SFTP upload only (no key based upload). SFTP upload services can be selected like FTP upload, parameters are the same. Implementation is still regarded beta. FTPS (aka FTP via TLS) is not supported. An option to test a SFTP connections is added at the bottom of the "services" tab.
-* fixes a factor 10 error for solar radiation on Ambient Weather Observer-IP station.
+* more nicely adapts HTTP timeout settings to given send intervals. This means tighter timeouts are applied for rapid sending and more relaxed timeout apply when data is sent just every 30 seconds or even less often. Maximum timeout is 13 seconds.

A value of "0" will then be mapped to "1".
-released January 30, 2015 [[File:envoy-sel.png|right|caption]]
-* [[File:envoy8x.gif|right|caption]]adds <u>experimental support</u> for Davis Envoy8x logger. Envoy8x logger needs to be configured with the Davis setup tool before the logger can be used with Meteobridge (definition of transmitters regarding channel and sensor type, rain bucket size, etc). Envoy8x allows to make use of up to 8 Vantage transmitters (IS, Wind, Rain, Leaf/Soil, Temperature, Temperature/Humidity) in parallel. Especially for larger sensor arrays this can be very interesting. Meteobridge (beside Meteohub) is the only non-Davis software being able to handle Envoy8x loggers. To make this a full tested production ready feature we need feedback from users running different setups. Selecting the sensors that should be used for weather network reporting can be done by the recently introduced selection of primary sensors on "live data" tab in "historical data" section.
-* fixes a bug where sealevel pressure displayed in live data section was not 100% identical to "now" section in historical data.

+We got notice that TP-Link changed the NOR flash storage in some of the newer hardware batches named Rev 1.9 (see picture on the right) of the MR3020. Unfortunately, this chip is not supported by the Linux kernel we use in our current Meteobridge firmware and the unit will not boot. But we were lucky enough to patch the kernel this evening, so that the new chip is now recognized and Meteobridge firmware in new [http://www.meteohub.de/files/meteobridge-tl-mr3020-v1.5.bin version 1.5] is now doing well again. For those who flashed one of the impacted MR3020 with Meteobridge firmware 1.4 the sad message is, that the unit is bricked. I just posted an instruction in the forum how to resurrect the device without opening it, but it is more for the hardcore techie: http://forum.meteohub.de/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=12318&p=23502#p23502<BR>
+I am sorry for the hassle, but we cannot foresee, what TP-Link will surprise us with.... all we can do is to solve issues pretty fast, which I think we did.</div>
+released August 17, 2017
+* adds template variables "daylengthmin", "civillengthmin", "nauticallengthmin" which report length of shortest day (December 21) of the current year at the given longitude/latitude.
+* adds template variables "daylengthmax", "civillengthmax", "nauticallengthmax" which report length of longest day (June 21) of the current year at the given longitude/latitude.
+* adds converters "secs", "mins", "hours" to be applied to daylength results. Converter returns a floting point number that defines the time period in seconds, munites or hours instead of the standard "HH:MM" format. This makes it more easy to to math between time durations. Example: Template string "{* [mbsystem-daylengthmax=mins.0] - [mbsystem-daylength=mins.0] *0}" returns number of minutes the current day is shorter than longest day of the year.
+* adds an option to specify number of leading zeros when using decimals specifier. "{*([mbsystem-daylengthmax=mins.0]-[mbsystem-daylength=mins.0])/60*00t}:{*([mbsystem-daylengthmax=mins.0]-[mbsystem-daylength=mins.0])%60*00t}" returns lost daytime compared to longest day of the year in "HH:MM" notation. "*00t}" sets output to 2 digits filled up with leading zeros ("00") if necessary and does not do rounding but cuts of decimals ("t").
-released January 25, 2015
-* [[File:delete-icon.png|right|caption]]allows to delete sensors from historical data that don't have received data recently. Deletion is simply done by clicking the trash can and by confirming the "are you sure" dialog.

-* [[File:primarysensors.png|right|caption]]introduces the concept of primary sensors, which are the sensors that are used for reporting data to the weather networks. On "live data" tab primary sensors are listed in green in the historical data section. Sensors actually not used as primary but having the potential to be used as primary sensors are displayed in yellow. By clicking onto a primary sensor (green ones) Meteobridge displays what kind of data the sensor is used for in the weather network context. By clicking onto a "potential sensor" (yellow ones) Meteobridge presents a drop-down list you can choose from to make this sensor a primary sensor. This allows to make the "outdoor temperature sensor #1" your primary sensor to be used for outdoor temperature reporting instead of using the default outdoor temperature sensor for this. On small weather stations with just one set of sensors this feature will not give lots of options, but stations with lots of sensors do get more options to select which sensor reports to the weather networks. [http://tau.meteobridge.com/files/sensor-retagging.m4v This screen capture video] demonstrates how to replace the standard temp/hum/dew sensor with the additional outdoor sensor #1.

+* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug that breaks chart generation when a sensor used in the chart is disabled on "live data" tab.
-released January 17, 2015
-* allow daisy chaining of any Davis Vantage PC weather program. A Meteobridge connected to a Davis Vantage by an Davis data logger (regardless if serial, USB or IP) exposes the Vantage on port 22222 like a Davis IP data logger. This allows other weather programs to also connect to the Davis Vantage and to read data in parallel from it. Only one additional program can read data from the Vantage. Function is a bit similar to the "Virtual Vantage" program that has been offered as a PC solution. Difference is that Meteobridge also supports LOOP2 communication (which "Virtual Vantage" does not) but as a downside Meteobridge can handle only one additional client (instead of 8 like "Virtual Vantage")

+* [[File:wh2308.png|right|500px]]adds support for Fine Offset 2310 / 4000 weather stations, which are also rebranded as "Tycon TP2700".
-released January 3, 2015
+released Juli 2, 2017
-* adds options to backup and restore configuration of a Meteobridge. Current network settings, timezone, latitude and longitude data are not overwritten when restoring a previously saved backup.
+* applies non-standard primary sensor settings to HomeWeatherStation uploads. Changing primary sensors on live data tab did not had an effect on which sensors were used for feeding HomeWeatherStation uploads. With the new release, this is taken into account as with the other weather networks.
-* adds a button to update Meteostick firmware to latest version (will only be displayed when a Meteostick-based weather station is selected).

-released December 22, 2014
+released July 1, 2017
-* fixes a bug that inhibits to define additional sensors for Meteostick operating a Davis Vantage.
+* [[File:wurainrate.png|right|300px]]adds an option to send true rain rate data to WU instead of cumulated rain of last 60 minutes. Default Meteobridge upload of cumulated rain is in line with WU specification but some users requested to see rain data on WU as on their console. This can now be realized by setting the switch to "alternative rain rate".
-released December 20, 2014
+released June 19, 2017
-* fixes a bug in regard to Meteonews data transfer.
+* removes user-defined retries for weather network ambientweather.net to spare server bandwidth.
-* fixes a bug computing BFT wind speeds.
-released November 27, 2014
+released June 18, 2017
-* adds support for weather network Meteonews.
+* improves algorithm to compute station pressure from SLP as reported by Vantage. Normally, Meteobridge directly requests station pressure from Vantage by means of LOOP2 protocol. But there might be situations where Vantage console is on old firmware level (below 1.9) not supporting LOOP2 or when Meteobridge acts as a slave to a PC weather program emulating a WLIP device and by that might not get LOOP2 packets. Please understand that back computation of station pressure from SLP is not perfect as average humidity and temperature of last 12h hours is not avail to Meteobridge. When you are operating in higher altitudes be prepared that some variation will occur. You can compensate by pressure adjustments on "station" tab.
-* adds support for weather station Lufft WS600.
-* adds template variable "hoursum" to grab the increase during the current hour on cumulative sensors like rain or evapotranspiration.
-* fixes a false error message, telling that Ubiquiti cam cannot be connected, although connection is done fine.
-released November 16, 2014
+released June 14, 2017
-* fixes a bug computing rain rate for Vantage stations connected via Meteostick. Previous computation was factor 10 too low. As rain rate is recorded together with rain totals, update might hang a few seconds behind compared to what Davis console displays.
+* fixes time triggers "before each new year", "before each new month" and non-PRO Meteobridges (PROs did not had the reported problem).
+* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug uploading export data via FTP. Latest export file is now available as "export:lastexport.txt" or "export:lastexport.exp" and a bug when using full qualified inline FTP credentials has been fixed.
-released November 15, 2014
+===Version 3.2===
-* fixes a bug computing sea level pressure for WMRS200 stations.
+released May 29, 2017

-released November 9, 2014
+released May 26, 2017
-* fixes a bug in the "stickupdate.cgi" script.
+* adds template variable "epoch" which returns current date/time as unsigned integer in Unix style (seconds since January 1, 1970).
+* Meteobridge PRO: changes OLED screen saver to show two moving vertical lines when active. Screen saver pauses a few seconds and shows original content when lines do meet in the middle of the screen. Moving lines avoid having the false impression that display is completely off.
-released November 7, 2014
+released May 19, 2017
-* fixes a bug that prevents from assigning additional Davis sensors a transmitter ID when used with Meteostick.
+* fixes a bug that falsely reports that Meteotemplate URL is malformed.
-released November 4, 2014
+released May 14, 2017
-* adds percentage of good RF reads vs RF noise in case of Meteostick usage. Percentage is displayed in signal column of indoor sensor. Values below 1% are considered as difficult RF noise conditions. RF good vs noise ratio can be improved by better placement of Meteostick (using the USB cradle) and reducing Meteostick RF sensitivity.
+* adapts error handling to changes in return messages of weather network previmeteo.
-[[File:goodrf.png]]
+* adds some checks on providing correct API URL when feeding Meteotemplate sites.
-released November 2, 2014
+released May 7, 2017
-* WS1000/HP-1000 outdoor multi-sensor units from Ambient Weather/Fine Offset are now fully supported by Meteostick. Support just covers the outdoor sensor unit, air pressure is given by Meteostick. This version allows the Meteostick to drop its binding to an initially found WS1000 sensor unit. This can be done manually by a checkbox on "Select Station" tab or will be done automatically after a series of failed attempts to connect with the unit. Sensor unit IDs change when sensors are power cycled. Therefore, it needs a mechanism to bind to these IDs (which is done automatically) and to unbind again, when unit with another ID (or changed ID) should be listened to. In order to have Meteostick supporting WS1000 you have to update its firmware to version 2.0 by calling this URL: <nowiki>"http://<ip_of_your_meteobridge>/cgi-bin/stickupdate.cgi"</nowiki>
+* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug (introduced with previous version) that impacted classical display loop templates.
-[[File:ws1000.png]]
-* further improves RF reception reliability of Meteostick for WS1000 sensor units.
-* delays sending of weather data until all main values (outdoor temp, outdoor hum, pressure, rain rate, wind speed, wind direction) have been provided by the weather station. Wait ends after a minute to allow uploading in situation where some data is missing because of sensor defect etc.
-* supports new Ubiquiti Unifi cameras (not the pro series). Remark: Snapshots have the Ubiquiti logo as a watermark in the lower right. At the moment we can't say if we can remove this watermark logo with coming SW updates.
-[[File:uvc.png]]
-released October 26, 2014
+released May 6, 2017
-* eliminates wrong "needs a USB hub" warning on "Select Station" tab, when using a Meteostick.
+* Meteobridge PRO: fixes another OLED driver bug that tends to show first screen of loop after loop has been finished.
-* adds experimental support for reading RF data via Meteostick from Fine Offset HP-1000 (Ambientweather WS1000) outdoor sensors (US and EU version). This needs update of Meteostick firmware to version 2.0 beta.
-* introduces easy firmware updates for Meteosticks by any Meteobridge. Just browse to <nowiki>"http://<ip_of_your_meteobridge>/cgi-bin/stickupdate.cgi"</nowiki> to have the Meteostick flashed to newest firmware. When you want to flash a distinct firmware version, you can add version number as URL parameter. As an example: <nowiki>"http://<ip_of_your_meteobridge>/cgi-bin/stickupdate.cgi?2.0beta"</nowiki> flashes version 2.0 beta to the Meteostick.
-released October 23, 2014
+final 3.2 version released May 6, 2017
-* fixes bug in windchill computation for wmr200.
+* introduces limited time frame for update support. Free updates are available for first 2 years after license purchase. Having passed that period an update license that covers another two years of free update service can be purchased for 19 Euros. Purchase can be made within the Meteobridge application via a PayPal button. Being out of update services users will stick to their current version, which will stay operational. Bug fixing and trouble shooting will focus on new versions, there are no plans on back-porting bug fixes or deploying new features to older versions. Meteobridge PROs are not subject of these changes, they still get all updates for free.
-released October 21, 2014
+released April 30, 2017
-* minor optical bug fixes regarding new "deactivate push services" feature.
+* Meteobridge PRO: fixes start/stop issue of OLED driver and improves CPU efficiency of OLED driver code.
-* "i" icon on "live data" tab shows history of events triggered by alarm definitions.
+* Meteobridge PRO: improves "once" display scripts to erase static screen content (like smartbedded intro logo) when triggered. This helps to render screen black after each round of displaying weather data.
-[[File:alarm-hist.png]]
-released October 20, 2014
+released April 28, 2017
-* Windfinder logo now points to sing-on page of Windfinder network.
+* Meteobridge PRO: improves display operation. While default display scripts show weather data on the display in a loop for a period of 5 minutes, there are now script variants available that run throw the loop only one time and switch off display after that. These variants end with "once" in the drop-down list, where you select the display scripts. When you trigger these scripts every 2 minutes, you get about 40 seconds of data being displayed, then display goes off and starts again displaying data when 2 minutes are passed. This helps reducing screen wear-out while still providing you with data on the display.<BR>[[File:once-display-scritp.png|450px]]
-* adds a feature that allows to deactivate a push services definition without deleting it (still beta). Simply select "off" from drop-down menu of the event to be deactivated.

-* adds modulus operator and arithmetic functions to be used for definition of alarm trigger conditions (see [http://meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/Push_Services#Condition_Expression here]).
+released April 22, 2017
+* Meteobridge PRO: switches OLED into sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. After that content is displayed for 3 secs every minute. When new data is sent to the display, it wakes up immediately and 5 minute countdown to sleep starts again. This measure protects display from early wear out. Timeout to sleep is hard coded and cannot be changed by the user right now.
-released October 8, 2014
+released April 12, 2017
-* adds red comment on "i" icon text when alarm is triggered and puts green comment in, when alarm is resetted. This allows a better understanding how evaluated conditions trigger actions.
+* fixes a bug that blocks "weather network" tab on certain conditions, like a freshly setup system.
-===Version 2.3===
-released October 8, 2014
-* modifies evaluation of trigger events in a way that does not trigger when clear condition is met (in that case it skips raise condition evaluation)

+released April 11, 2017
+* fixes a bug regarding "1 minute" uploads for Ambientweather Network.
-released October 2, 2014
-* fixes a bug on day change, where today/yesterday variables are not properly set for the very few seconds
-* reworks expressions handling of alarm conditions and removes some bugs regarding expression evaluation. Changes are in detail:
-** Variables can be used with or without enclosing square brackets. If used without, please make sure there is a blank before and after the variable. Apart from this, there is no need for separating operators etc by blanks.
-** Variables can use all defined qualifiers, like "th0temp-act=F.0:0".
-** There is no longer a distinction between simple and complex conditions.
-** Logical operators in expressions for "and" are "&" or "&&", both have the same meaning, some with "or" which can be "||" or "|".
-** The "i" icon shows history of latest evaluation of raise and clear conditions. To get more recent history reload "Push Services" tab by clicking onto the tab and then going back to the "i" icon.
-** The "i" icon also lists errors during condition evaluation.

-released August 6, 2014
+released February 4, 2017
-* fixes a bug that might prevent triggering events on distinct time of day
+* Meteobridge PRO: adds a function on "History" tab that starts a complete reconstruction of the database from the recorded hourly values. This helps in situations, when time zone has changed and as a result higher level aggregated data for days, months, etc will not have the correct time stamps anymore. The reconstruction will take some time and during that period storing new data will delayed until reconstruction has finished. Per minute data for the last hours will be lost by performing this operation. Progress of reconstruction will be reflected in messages section of "System" tab.
-* allows to reach Meteobridge web interface from the Internet without tweaking your router. This option is disabled per default to maximize your security. Option to give "smartbedded UG" exclusive access has been dropped in favor to this more general solution. Login from the Internet will be done by a special URL (only known to the Meteobridge owner) and is also subject to the Meteobridge web interface password. It is highly recommended to set that password before enabling Internet login.
+* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a deficiency, that database process can run into a failure loop, when some database tables are missing (because sensors might have been deleted on "History" tab). When this happens now, one error message will be reported and database table will be setup again to allow next operation on that sensor to be successful.
-[[File:remote-login.png]]
+* Meteobridge PRO: adds an adjustable boot delay. This allows the Meteobridge PRO to wait 1 to 5 minutes after a restart before reaching out to the Internet. Optional boot delay can be adjusted on "System" tab.
+* summarizes repeating entries from the logger process in the messages section of "System" tab.
+* fixes a bug that did no correctly handle events "before" and "after" day break. Time stamps used for collecting associated data were not correctly used.
-released August 3, 2014
+released January 29, 2017
-* fixes a bug in libusb availability on DIR-505 platform (also updated installation instructions for DIR-505)
+* fixes a bug that resets timezone to UTC when doing a reboot that forces to start in "LAN DHCP client" mode. This bug did show correct timezone settings on "system" tab but UTC was actually used.
-* provide firmware image that can be installed on newer DIR-505L versions
+* avoids redundant messages on "system" tab. Identical follow-up messages are replaced by a repeat notice.

+* Meteobridge PRO: adds a new allinoneminmax chart template that works like "allinone" but display min/max data which is suitable when looking for summary data on daily and monthly level. This charts show min, average and max values in the legend and also presents balloon data including date/time of min max data when moving the mouse to one of the data sets. As with all Meteobridge PRO charts, they are based on Javascript, which is embedded into a regular HTML file that can be uploaded to your server and can be presented there by iframing.
+* Meteobridge PRO: reflects selection of sensors to be used as primary sensors from "Live Data" tab when plotting charts.
+* Meteobridge PRO: changes execution of export data generation which should now handle parallel triggering events with successive FTP uploads of lastexport files fine.

-* adds support for pure temp sensors to station type Oregon Scientific WMRS 200
+* [[File:chart-gen-and-upload.png|right|550px]]Meteobridge PRO: Making use of automated chart generation and upload should now be fully supported. As there occured a few questions how to use it, I give an example on the right. As you can see, event #6 generates every full hour a chart of todays data just before the new hour shows up. This triggers event #7 which uploads the generated html chart to a web server and gives it the name "daychart-(year)-(month)-(day).html". Current data for year, month, day is inserted by means of "gnu c strftime" function, which defines "%Y" as year, "%m" as month, and "%d" as day. After successful upload, the local file on the Meteobridge PRO is deleted, as indicated by the "Delete file" mark.
-* allows to define frequency of uploads of the WLIP data logger to Davis Weather Link service: every minute, every 5 minutes, every 10 minutes, never.<br />[[File:wlip.png]]

+released October 16, 2016
+* [[File:chart1.png|right]]Meteobridge PRO: initial support for generating charts. Feature is still beta, feedback from users is highly welcome. Charts can be defined on "Graphs" tab, where time period, resolution, language and chart type can be selected. Meteobridge shows chart inline and provides two URLs, where the chart can be accessed. "local URL" works in your LAN, while "remote URL" allows you to access it from the Internet, when you have remote access enabled. Charts can also be generated on "Services" tab in a periodical manner. Charts are stored as html pages in "charts" folder, which can be accessed as Meteobridge PC network folder. FTP Upload of charts is also supported, by which you can make these accessible on your web server. "chart:lastchart" mechanics can be used for an FTP upload triggered by making the chart (this works analogous to the "lastexport" item when uploading export files). There is only one chart defined right now (allinone) in iso and imperial flavor, but more to come. Chart definitions are located in "templates" folder and have extension ".chart". Meteobridge charts are based on the "amcharts.com" package which smartbedded has licensed in a redistributable way. Nevertheless, please be aware that you are not allowed to used the included chart libs for purposes outside Meteobridge. Meteobridge charts are interactive, you can select and deselect data, you can modify the time line, and much more. You find a chart generated by my Meteobridge PRO [http://tau.meteobridge.com/files/allinone-imp-min-201610150000-201610160000.html here]. Feel free to inspect it.
-released April 20, 2014
-* better detection of maximum gust values for Davis Vantages by making use of LOOP2 packets and fixing the wrong documentation Davis does provide for "maxgust 10min".
-* improves wind reporting intervals for Davis Vantage (down to every 2 seconds) even when using LOOP and LOOP2 packets synchronously. Also adding code that makes sure no wind gust is omitted, even when LOOP packet live data did not catch it up.
-* adds an option to version control on "system" tab which forces booting from USB stick instead of downloading  application stack and historical data from the Internet. USB stick just needs to be FAT32 formatted and being inserted into USB hub on Meteobridge. When you then do a regular reboot the downloaded application stack will automatically be stored on USB stick. On next reboot this image will be used when told to do so by setting "try USB first" on version control drop-down options.
-* applies standard correction for indoor temp sensor in the Meteostick of 6.7°C to roufhly compensate for heat emission of other components inside the stick.

+* fixes a bug introduced with September 23 update, that prevents storing th0temp data for building average/minimum/maximum values for shortly passed periods (th0temp-avg5, th0temp-min5, etc).
-released February 27, 2014
-* some slight storage usage optimizations to give Meteobridges connected to a "Accurite Internet Bridge" a bit more of RAM headroom, which is needed for uninterrupted Meteoplug upload use. Reading data from the "Accurite Bridge" pushes Meteobridge to the limit as it needs a rather large library being loaded to intercept the TCP/IP traffic and to sniff the weather data payload from the TCP/IP packets.
+released September 23, 2016
+* adds support for sun shine duration sensors for Davis Vantage as sold by "weerhuisje.nl" and "weatherstations.co.uk". You need a Meteostick or a Meteobridge PRO to make use of this feature.

+* maps soil temperature sensor of Acurite Aculink bridge to sensor IDs "t?temp" where "?" is a number starting at 10.
+* pushes date of pure temp sensors with IDs "t10temp" until "t13temp" as soil temperature to weatherunderground. This allows non Davis stations to also report soil temperatures as Acurite Aculink bridge, for example.
+* better support of Davis leaf stations with Meteostick.
-released February 14, 2014
-* fixes a bug on DIR-505 platform regarding support for USB HID connected weather stations
+released August 24, 2016
+* fixes a bug that an event which is triggered by another event might be started in reverse order.
+* fixes handling of return messages from WOW weather network.
+* fixes a bug that does not correctly start/stop logging process after making changes on "station" tab. This could have produced database locks on Meteobridge PRO systems.
+* adds time control for periodic data exports to be triggered before or after a full hour, day, month, year has been started. Example: This allows to export all data of the current day just before day has passed (option: "before day break"). To be precise, this service is triggered when the day has just passed but data taken into account is limited to the day that has just passed. This makes definition of services that intend to export data of completed days/months/years more easy and straight forward.
+* adds option to FTP upload service, that allows to automatically delete the file from export folder when file has been uploaded successfully.
-released February 6, 2014
-* adding support for 3h, 6h, 12h, 24h rain totals based on a rolling time frame (not just daily values). New template variables are: sum1h, sum3h, sum6h, sum12h, sum24h. These values are available for use in templates and CWOP now also receives 24h rain totals ("p" parameter).

-* prints a warning when AirCam is configured to use HTTPS on the web interface as Meteobridge can't handle that
+released July 12, 2016
+* Meteobridge PRO: massive rework of how data is stored. In essence there now is a pseudo persistent database keeping data in per minute resolution for the last 36 hours and a database in internal USB store that holds data on per hour/day/month/year level forever. Flash wear is reduced by about factor 60 and capacity of 8GB also looks to be overstated as USB database will grow very slowly. As so many code fractions needed to be adapted, there might still be some bugs here and there. Please report bugs to "info(at)meteobridge.com". We expect things going smooth after s short time.

-* fixing a bug impacting Fine Offset stations (WH-1080, etc) support on Asus platform.
+* makes use of a vector adding method to compute average wind direction. Result is no longer restricted to a fixed number of direction buckets (have been 16 in the past)
+* Meteobridge PRO: in order to eliminate the USB flash defects which are likely to occur after a certain time of use, we decided to dramatically reduce update interval of the internal database. Now data is only written every 15 minutes to the internal database. When this works flawless, update interval is planned to be further extended to every hour. As a result database will no longer provide per minute data. Nevertheless, the current 24h data will be available in RAM, so min/max/avg data of last minutes hours can still be computed correctly. RAM data also survives controlled reboots. Impact of stripping away the per minute database representation in regard to template variables is described in the Template section of the wiki.
+===Version 2.9===
+released June 28, 2016
+* fixes a bug which sometimes stalls https requests and by that blocks all uploading.
