−	* to be released	+	* 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.

−	* fixes a bug on handling of multiple threads initiated by the weather network daemon. The bug seemed to be responsible for stalling and crashing of weather network feed daemon. Hopefully, this is the final fix for that kind of problems.	+	* fixes a bug on handling of multiple threads initiated by the weather network daemon. The bug seemed to be responsible for stall

−	released March 11, 2016	+
−	* [[File:restore.png|right|]]Meteobridge PRO: allows to easily import database backups. Drop-down menu shows backups available from a connected USB stick plus the database before latest restore or repair.	+
−	* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug that prevents weather network daemon to start.	+
−		+
−		+
−	released March 9, 2016	+
−	* Meteobridge PRO: allows to make backups of the database by a simple press of the "Backup" button on "System" tab.	+
−	* 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 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 March 3, 2016	+
−	* hotfix which solves a problem where HTTP push services terminate send process and result into "open named pipe /dev/meteobridge failed: No such device or address" error messages in system log.	+
−	* fixes bug that prevents changing Originator string of SMS services.	+
−	* Meteobridge PRO: adds database integrity check on startup and starts repair if needed, actions are logged in "system messages".	+
−		+
−		+
−	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.	+

−	* 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 February 10, 2016	+
−	* Meteobridge PRO: supporting both main types of mobile dongles: (1) USB router types (ethernet interface via USB) and (2) classical USB modem types (serial USB connection to be controlled by AT commands). Wiki has been adapted on "network" section to reflect this. USB mobile connect dongles are supported on Meteobridge PRO only.	+
−		+
−		+
−	[[File:MBPRO-3G-small.jpg|right|200px]][[File:mbpro-3gdef.png|right|450px]]released February 7, 2016	+
−	* Meteobridge PRO: better handling of preselected 3G providers, changes to kernel libs to support additional 3G USB dongles.	+
−	* Meteobridge PRO: adds feature on "system" tab to set Windows workgroup name.	+
−	* fixing a bug that produces data drops when sending data from a Meteostick enabled Meteobridge to Meteoplug cloud services.	+
−		+
−		+
−	released January 27, 2016	+
−	* 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:graphstab.png|450px|right]]released January 23, 2016	+
−	* [[File:wdlselect.png|right]]Meteobridge PRO: generate WD-Live clientraw files (first experimental release). WD-Live data upload can be selected as a new push service on "services" tab. Generated "clientraw" files also show up in folder "exports" and can be accessed there as a PC network share. When you find bad data in the client raw files, please post. There are about 2000 data entries to be handled, no chance to implement this without errors on the first run. Sensors used for WD-Live data generation can be selected on newly added "Graphs" tab.	+
−	* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug when selecting external USB stick as primary data store.	+
−	* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug that time stamp is not added when changing a minute's rain total on "History" tab.	+
−	* Meteobridge PRO: predefined template "realtime.txt" can be used to feed CumulusRealtime dashboard or similar applications.	+
−	* adds "solarmax" as slector for "mbsystem" variable group. It reports maximum possible solar radiation fur current day at defined point on earth (specified by system's latitude).	+

−		+
−	released January 17, 2016	+
−	* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug when doing hourly data exports.	+
−		+
−		+
−	released January 16, 2016	+
−	* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug where template files where not processed before being uploaded via FTP.	+
−	* Meteobridge PRO: adds a simple weather data dashboard to the list of predefined templates to choose from when doing FTP upload.	+
−	* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug with exports of an hour of data.	+
−	* fixes a bug that can make data logging stalled when reading data from Oregon WMR-200 station.	+
−		+
−		+
−	released January 15, 2016	+
−	* [[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.	+
−	* [[File:passphrase.png|right]]allows to show WiFi passphrase while typing in on "network" tab.	+
−	* Meteobridge PRO: fixes bugs in delta computation.	+
−	* [[File:borgervejr.png|right]]Meteobridge PRO: adds a template for feeding Danish weather network "BORGERVEJR" by email. Template is named "borgervejr.email" and can be selected via drop-down when defining an email send service. Address to send email to this network is "borgervejr@dmi.dk". You authenticate yourself by your email from-address.	+
−		+
−	In case you are interested how this works, template file "borgervejr.email" looks like this and uses the standard Meteobridge template mechanisms:	+

−	* 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].	+

−	* some improvements on server and client side to achieve more reliability in regard to remote connections.	+
−		+
−		+
−	released November 9, 2015	+
−	* fixed a bug related to new "delta" selectors.	+
−		+
−		+
−	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.	+
−	* fixes a bug that prevents from uploading data to OpenWeatherNet when latitude and longitude data is not setup manually on "System" tab.	+
−	* uses "route -n" instead of "route" internally to avoid Meteobridge stalling admin pages in case DNS is very slow.	+

−	* fixes a bug that prevents Meteostick firmware updates on D-Link DIR-505 platform.	+
−	* changes CWOP standard URL to the CWOP internal round-robin address "cwop.aprs.net"	+
−	* fixes a minor memory leakage in logging process that could produce system stalls over time.	+
−	* removes WindGuru from list of selectable weather networks when Meteobridge is a special version licensed by windfinder.com.	+
−		+
−		+
−	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 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 September 29, 2015	+
−	* adds simple if-then-else logic to templates. Wiki provides details and an example at the end of template section.	+
−	* fixes Meteostick firmware update process, which now provides most recent firmware 2.3b2 when initiating an update (instead of 2.3b1 which was flashed before).	+
−		+

−	released September 20, 2015	+
−	* better handle "no data received" condition on Rainwise CC3000 logger.	+
−	* fix missing display of IP and NETMASK when connected by Ethernet (new bug introduced with 2.5).	+
−	* broader range of RF sensitivity (-30db to -105db) threshold settings when using Meteostick.	+
−	* new bandwidth settings (small, normal, wide) to optimize RF reception from Vantage console retransmits when using Meteostick. In order to have this working, it needs update to Meteostick to FW 2.3b2 (or newer). This can be done with "Update Firmware" button in Meteostick section of "System" tab. To receive Vantage console retransmits it needs setting "wide".	+

−	* [[File:pusbio1rpcb.jpg|right|caption]]adds support for triggering a USB relay based on weather data. 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:wmr300.gif|right|caption]] adds experimental support for Oregon WMR-300 station. Historical data of the logger inside the station is not used. Implementation is based on sniffing the USB data, so there might still be a few bugs in there. Data from wind, rain, indoor and outdoor temp sensors are obviously received fine.	+
−		+
−		+
−	released March 14, 2015	+
−	* [[File:cc3000.gif|right|caption]]adds support for Rainwaise stations connected to a CC-3000 computer interface. Now both Rainwise computer interfaces are supported. The older white-boxed MKIIICC and the recent black-boxed CC-3000. Support for CC-3000 is brand new, so please keep me posted when you hit some bugs. As we don't have the station physically, we were relying on remote access to develop the drivers, which somehow reduces options for testing.	+
−	* includes a minor Vantage pass-through timing tweak, that might help to pass-through USB connected Vantages more reliable.	+
−		+
−		+
−	released March 10, 2015	+

−	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.	+
−		+
−		+
−		+
−	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.	+

−	released January 24, 2015	+
−	* fixes a bug in enumerating Acurite 3in1 and rain sensors when used with Acurite Internet bridge.	+
−	* adds support for generic APRS services, which are now available an additional weather network.	+
−	* allows to block primary sensors from sending data to weather networks. Just click onto the name of a primary sensor (green), confirm that you want to block this sensor and sensor will be marked as blocked and sensor name switches to red. By clicking again onto the sensor name, it will be unblocked and appears in green again.	+
−		+
−		+
−	released January 22, 2015	+
−	* [[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.	+
−		+
−		+
−	released January 20, 2015	+
−	* fixes issues when 3in1 and 5in1 sensors are used in parallel on an Acurite Internet Bridge setup. 5in1 sensor array is given IDs wind0, th0, rain0 and these will be used for reporting into weather networks.	+
−		+
−		+
−	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")	+

−	released November 2, 2014	+
−	* 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>	+
−	[[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.	+

−	* 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.	+

−	** 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.	+

Revision as of 12:30, 15 August 2017

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.

Forum

Please make use of this in favor to emails, as a wider public can participate of your insights and problem resolution 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. Chapters below illustrate new features and bug fixes that have been realized in current and previous releases.

In The Works / On TO-DO List

• Meteobridge PRO: add import data mechanism
• Meteobridge PRO: add WSWIN "Dateiüberwachung" (postponed)

Version 3.4

• 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.

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.
• handles return messages of weather networks in more secure way.

released July 27, 2017

• adds upload of monthly and yearly rain totals to ambient weather network support.

released July 26, 2017

• Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug that breaks chart generation when a sensor used in the chart is disabled on "live data" tab.

released July 20, 2017

• improves reset handling of USB port when connected to Fine Offset 2310 / 4000 weather stations.

released July 11, 2017

• adds support for additional external temp sensor (channel 101) when using station Lufft WS600.
• fixes bugs on Fine Offset 3210 / 4000 implementation.
• fixes a bug where Meteoplug cloud service might show false sea level pressures in certain situations.
• adds heat index to WeatherCloud uploads.

released July 8, 2017

• fixes a bug in support of weather station Fine Offset 2310 / 4000 that blocked data logging once a USB CRC error has occurred.

released July 4, 2017

• 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

• 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

• 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.
• adds some checks on providing correct API URL when feeding Meteotemplate sites.

released May 7, 2017

• 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

• fixes a bug regarding "1 minute" uploads for Ambientweather Network.

released April 10, 2017

• adds support for new weather data dashboard from AmbientWeather.

released April 8, 2017

• fixes a bug introduces with previous update, that inhibits selection Vantage stations when using Meteostick.
• adds French language support.

released April 2, 2017

• adds support for Envoy8x additional Soil/Leaf stations to be used by Meteotemplate uploads.
• 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

• switches to sealevel pressure computation inside Meteobridge, when WS600 station does report identical values for station and sealevel pressure.

released March 22, 2017

• adds Spanish as language option
• fixes a bug related to additional temp sensors in regard to meteotemplate weather service.

released March 13, 2017

• fixes a bug that prevents from selecting "meteotemplate" weather network list.

released March 12, 2017

• fixes a HTTPS related warning when including Meteobridge PRO charts, uploaded to your web server which operates on HTTPS.
• allows to read templates and scripts from HTTPS URLs
• drops complete set of sensor data from FineOffset WH-1080 station and clones, when any data in the record is detected being false.
• 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

• fixes a bug when selecting SSID from drop-down list that includes a colon ":".
• adds support for weather network "agroclima".
• fixes a bug when using CWOP and APRS services in parallel.

released February 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.

released January 17, 2017

• 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

• fixes a bug when evaluating "wind0dir-valX" template variables on non-PRO Meteobridges

released December 3, 2016

• fixes a "running out of RAM" problem when using meteoplug cloud service.
• fixes a bug when FTP file names are specified with a trailing blank.

released November 26, 2016

• fixes a bug related to Weather4You.
• add version 3.1 to the list of versions to manually stick at.

released November 19, 2016

• expands set of characters that can be used in SMS messages.

released November 16, 2016

• hotfix that prevents from filling up ram disk with temporary test messages. This makes Meteobridge stall/reboot after a while.

released November 13, 2016

• Meteobridge PRO: fixes time frame selection for graphing on a weekly level
• some internal SW redesigns

released October 30, 2016

• 
  Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug related to change of daylight saving. This bug could make database synchronization to run into an endless loop and blocking storage of incoming data.
• Meteobridge PRO: adds new heatmap charts for comparing temperature of a sequence of days.
• 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.

released October 13, 2016

• Meteobridge PRO: fixes a shortly introduced bug throwing errors in system log when uploading WD Live data packets.

released October 10, 2016

• Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug where wind direction is not provided correctly in the database.

released October 8, 2016

• supports additional SMTP authentication schema "plain" to allow i.e. use of godaddy smtp server.
• Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug that prevents from exporting per minute data for last 30 hours.

released October 7, 2016

• Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug when deleting all sensor data from data base for a given time period.

released October 3, 2016

• Meteobridge PRO: fixes some bugs around manual editing of values in database.

released October 2, 2016

• Meteobridge PRO: removes no longer used per minute data from USB database during database initialization on startup.

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.
• fixes issue that provider and IP-based location determination was no longer functional as data provider has changed return format.
• adds support for Ubiquiti cams with firmware 3.4

released September 28, 2016

• minor bug fixes

released September 25, 2016

• 
  Meteobridge PRO: adds a feature that allows to turn off meteobridge display a) always or b) during night or c) during a manually specified period of the day/night.
• 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 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 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 August 9, 2016

• Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug related to evaluation of template variables with selectors "val", "avg", "sum", "min", "max".

released August 2, 2016

• Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug causing "services" tab to fail when over 300 files are located in export folder.
• Meteobridge PRO: allows to sum up rain data up to 36 hours (has been limited to 24 hours before), "sum30h" will now work.

released August 1, 2016

• fixes a bug related to reading rain totals from Aculink bridge running new firmware.

released July 31 / August 1, 2016

• 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 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.
• 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 July 20, 2016

• fixes LOOP and LPS errors occurring when using Vantage IP data logger.

released July 19, 2016

• fixes a bug related to sending data to windfinder on Asus Meteobridge devices.

released July 15, 2016

• Meteobridge PRO: automatically erases database tables lacking data. This will remove sensors from sensor list on "History" tab that don't have any data in the database.
• Meteobridge PRO: reduces database writes when syncing RAM and USB databases on process start.

released July 14, 2016

• 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.

Version 2.9

released June 28, 2016

• fixes a bug which sometimes stalls https requests and by that blocks all uploading.
• information: Sonotrigger has released an Android app to display Meteobridge data easily and nicely on your smartphone (http://software.sonotrigger.com/)

released June 18, 2016

• minor bug fixes

released June 8, 2016

• Meteobridge PRO: changes in the boot process to better handle internal storage setup problems, which might have caused a stall during boot in certain situations.
• Meteobridge PRO: enhancement in "cannot connect" black start page, which now also includes system log and list of running processes.

released June 2, 2016

• Meteobridge PRO: fixes a sometimes occurring bug in WD-Live exports.

Version 2.8

released May 29, 2016

• fixes bug with "nonzerotime" selector when applied to rain total values (was fine on MB PRO, but wrong on standard Meteobridges).

released May 18, 2016

• fixes a rain sensor issue occurring on some for Davis stations
