Upload Interval

You can specify upload intervals from every 5 seconds of up to every hour, when you want to keep your outgoing traffic low. Meteobridge makes use of "rapid fire mode" of Weather Underground when data is sent more than once a minute.

ID and Password

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

When you click the Weather Underground symbol, another browser window will open showing data being stored for your account on Weather Underground for the current day.

Expert Mode

Setting a mark at "expert mode" checkbox and pressing "Save" brings up additional data upload options, that allow you to send weather data to an individual server. Please have a look at sub menu "Add-On Services" to understand how that works.

Submit Changes

When you press "Save" your settings are stored permanently and meteobridge does test, if Weather Underground does accept your credentials. Red marks and an error message indicate failure, while green marks indicate that credentials were tested ok.
