Meteobridge pro 2 display commands

[Vinkenbuurt]

I have been the owner of a Davis weather station (Vantage Vue + Vantage Pro 2 console) for many years, combined with Meteobridge (TP-LINK MR3020). Recently, I switched to a Meteobridge Pro 2. What an amazing device, and it's also a challenge because I still lack sufficient knowledge to get more out of the Meteobridge.
The basics are in place, and everything is working to my satisfaction. It's also great that you can, for example, access a built-in weather dashboard via the internet.

What I still have questions about is whether I can upload other display templates to the Meteobridge. There are a few available now. I also see, when reading the WIKI, that it's quite complicated to write a command yourself that fully meets my requirements.

At the moment, the display shows some data via the following templates:
"template:wind-outdoor-indoor-rain-system ISO 5min wrap.dsp"
"template:BIG-scroll-ISO-once.dsp""

"What I would like is nearly the same template, but without the 'system' data, and with a faster 'loop' so that the data changes more frequently. For example, in 1 minute, all the data should be shown and then start over again.
How can I do that?"

You can access the "BIG-scroll-ISO-once.dsp" file from your PC, when you connect to the Meteobridge via SMB. In folder templates you will find the display definition files which all have extension ".dsp".

Copy the definition you want to alter into a new file (also ending with ".dsp" and alter definition to your liking. How definitions work is explained here: https://www.meteobridge.com/wiki/index. ... RO_Display

Once done with the new dsp file, you can select this from the drop-down list of possible display definitions in Meteobridge.

Also just be aware the MBPro display does have a finite life regard burn-out and really should not be used for continuous fast loop updates and probably one reason the example .dsp examples are at 5 minutes.

Thank you for your response. I will look into how to connect with Meteobridge via SMB to add templates in that way. And i had read about how definitions can be made, find that quite complicated.

Thank you for the warning. I am aware that the screen can burn in over time. Therefore, it is only on during the day. The nice thing is that the screen is easier to replace with the Meteobridge Pro 2. And I hope that lasts for many years to come .
