Continuously Log Data

Post by SWRCWeatherS »

What is the simplest way to create a continuous log of data from the meteobridge?

We just purchased the meteobridge and have it connected to WeatherUnderground without any problems. But we also want to be able to create a continuous archive of the weather results on five minute intervals as locally as possible (at least on our own server). From reading the wiki, I'm assuming it could be done with either the push services or maybe the http-get add-on service, but I'm confused about which would be simpler. I don't need the data to be in any fancy format, just something consistent.

Which is most suited for you depends on what services your "server" does provide. When it has a http daemon running,
I would recommend to let the Meteobridge deliver data via HTTP-Get requests every minute or so. A simple perl
script on the server will handle the request and feed the data into a mysql database or what you want to do with it. This is how the most Internet weather networks get their data from the users.
