Meteohub & Weather Display

Post by oliverb »

Does Meteohub work with Weather Display \"live\" via http so I can see all my weather data on the Weather Display screen?

Hi Brett,
I have not tested this, but I guess it won't. You can import recorded data into WD, but I assume that WD' live screen depends on live data WD is receiving from the weather station.

There are two ways out of this.

1. When WD is able to read the station's data via socket connection, then WD could hook up to port 5557 of Meteohub and will get all data from the weather station, exactly like being directly connected to this. Brian once said in the forum that he might implement this, but I have not heard about it again.

2. As Meteohub reports a lot of sensor data (actual and min/max/average values for the day, month, last 24h, ...) since version 1.6 I do have the ingredients to provide a \"flight deck\" display on top of this. That can be a flash web application (like WD) and/or plain HMTL results for use with browsers that don't support flash or hand-held devices with internet access. As the API how Meteohub provides data is documented in the manual everybody can build this, with his preferred technology. I that respect Meteohub is a n open platform. However, I will provide my version of these apps in the near future. But it will need some weeks of coding...

Thanks for that Boris that would save the expense of getting WD display and I presume you could log in from any remote site and see the flight deck display.

Look forward to it in the future.
