Login into your Meteobridge
1. Tab "WeatherNets"
2.1Click at the bottom "Add more Weather Networks"
2.2 Select nearly at the bottom "Weatherlink cloud"
3. Then add your credentials to the new WL Cloud box.

Succes,
Wim

Hi Wim,
Unfortunately I don’t have that option at the bottom of the add more weather networks list?

You need a Davis weather station with a logger.
What weather station do you have?

Oh ok !
I have a VP2 with serial logger currently running WD on a PC I wanted to get away from having the PC on 24/7 so upgraded to a MeteoBridge pro red so I could do away with the PC and get data straight from the iss.
So I take it I will have to convert the serial into usb and plug into the meteobridge? Then the option will appear

Many thanks Stuart.

Yes. You use only once the weatherlink-PC program to register the logger to weatherlink.com
You will get a "fake" MAC address which you use as ID and your weatherlink.com password to enter it in the key field.

Using a Pro Red you could connect direct to the ISS using RF. The Pro red does not necessarily have to connect to a console/logger to upload to WL Cloud.

Hi Mattk, that’s exactly what I want to do, I am receiving data from the iss (very poor reception the Meteobridge is at the highest point in the room!)
And I am feeding data to the met office,windy Wu and others but want to upload to my Weatherlink account, the option is not available! Not sure what I’m doing wrong??

AFAIK you need a davis console attached to a Meteobridge.
This is from the original announcement https://meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/Forum

released October 6, 2019
adds support for a new personal weather data upload service named "WL Cloud".
This feature is only available for Meteobridges connected to a Davis data logger (Console or Envoy, not Envoy8x).
It directly uploads data from the logger (not data from the Meteobridge) to an URL of your liking.
Data consists of LOOP, HILOWS and DMPAFT data sets as provided from the Davis logger.
Upload format is similar (and might be compatible) to what Davis uses to feed their weatherlink network.

https://meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/Weather_Networks
====> Additional Weather Networks

Weatherlink Cloud if you have a Davis console or envoy connected by a NANO, WLIP or USB logger you can also feed data to Davis WeatherLink network

===> Examples

Davis WeatherLink
In case you are having a Davis logger connected (WLIP or USB) or are using a NANO the Meteobridge can feed the Davis Weatherlink network. You just need to enter the upload frequency, which station to take data from (in case you have more than one Davis station connected) the default server URL to the Davis network "wl6.weatherlink.com/bin.php" the ID given to you by Davis to identify your station within their network and a corresponding key

Sorry but for some dumb reason I gave you a bum steer there, I typically run a Pro Red and a Envoy together but separately on the same station so always have a WeatherLink.com upload. The Nano of course uploads to WL Cloud
