Meteobridge is a device that is easy to use and which should not raise a demand for extensive support. However, there is a forum, where you can share experiences, questions, wishes with other users.

Please make use of this in favor to emails, as a wider public can participate of your insights and problem resultion recipes.

Forum is part of Meteohub Forum: Meteobridge Forum

Release Log

To get the latest release running on your rig, just do a reboot or power-cycle.

In the Works

• adds optional client bridging mode that enables a Wifi connected Meteobridge to connect devices connected to the Meteobridge's LAN port with WLAN.
• adds support for Ubiquiti AirCam to be used as weather cam for Weather Underground and for upload of weather pics via FTP to a user's server. Picture quality is very good for a 100 Euro priced consumer cam and can handle varying daylight situations quite well:

Version 1.5

released June 1, 2013:

• adds http-based data request mechanism "template.cgi?template=XXXXX&contenttype=text/plain"

released May 30, 2013:

• adds heat index on outdor temp/hum sensors
• adds monthly/yearly values for evapotranspiration
• makes upload interval for backup of historical data selectable (from every 10 minutes to once a day)
• adds new variables to allow time stamps in 12h notation: HH, H, APM, apm (see "Template" chapter for details)

released May 23, 2013:

• fixes upload abortion problem with CWOP

released May 14, 2013:

• adds option to specify a month to be used as starting point for annual rain measurement. Default is January.

released May 12, 2013:

• support for Acurite USB stations 1025/1035/1525 added
• adds option to calibrate pressure by an offset on "select station" page

released May 6, 2013:

• fixes a bug that still prevents from altimeter pressure being used for CWOP

Version 1.4

released May 3, 2013:

• Dutch language support (translations provided by user "Wim")
• changed gust value for weatherbug network to "todays max gust"
• fixes a unit conversion problem with evapotranspiration on solar sensor equipped vantage weather stations
• fixes the low humdity bug for CWOP data transfers

Version 1.3

released April 21, 2013:

• fixes a stability bug on new LOOP2 supporting Davis Vantage drivers
• has some modules included to allow 3G modem support based on Huawei's E160 adapter (still experimental and to be formally released in one of the coming versions, profiles for "t-mobile.de" and "vodafone.de" do exist for testing purposes)
• a new firmare release (version 1.2) is ready for download (in "getting started" section). This firmware is only needed when aiming at 3G operation.

released April 13, 2013:

• added support for LOOP2 packets when using a Davis Vantage or Vue with firmware 1.90 or newer. This makes barometer readings more precise and better in sync with Vantage console.
• fixes a problem with send email authentification

released April 7, 2013:

• fxing a bug uploading average windspeed to previmeteo
• reduce timeout for mysql connection setup to 6 seconds
• moving static reserve LAN IP from 192.168.1.111 to 192.168.168.111 to avoid routing conficts with typical user class c networks when switching to wlan
• removing evapotranspiration values (which did appear randomly) from solar sensor data, if not Vantage station.
• adding a display that shows how much of internal data send buffer is currently occupied (system tab)
• reducing memory footprint of data send process to avoid triggering oom linux mechanisms
• doing a reboot in case of oom situations by issueing a kernel panic instead of trying to stop some applications via oom_killer.
• added support for generation of wind direction strings in German (dedir) and English (endir) within templates.

Version 1.2

released March 29, 2013:

• adds signal strength to SSID drop-down list
• fixes a configuration bug that prevents from reading data from WS2300 type stations

released March 17, 2013:

• make remote login for support services an option that a user can permanently disable
• adds better support for Vantage extra sensors

released March 16, 2013:

• fixes a bug that might have caused Meteobridge to stall after a while when sending data to CWOP

released March 11, 2013:

• additional system variables as described in section Templates#System Variables

released March 9, 2013:

• support of additional temp/hum sensors for vantage, additional temp data to be reported to Weather underground (if there)
• setup your own weather website setup with the help of "saratoga templates" (http://saratoga-weather.org/wxtemplates/setup-Meteobridge.php)

Version 1.1

released 5th March 2013:

• more variables for templates (full documentation at http://www.meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/Templates)
• balloon help on live data tab does show sequence of values for live data and time of min/max events for historical data.
• added weather network http://www.previmeteo.com
• length of paylod text fields for push services have been enlarged to 4000 characters
• some bugs around swapped min/max historical values are fixed

Version 1.0

• inital release
