Skyvex as an HTTP Event target (WU format) — does this config look right?
Posted: Sun Aug 16, 2026 1:01 pm
Hi everyone,
I run Skyvex (skyvex.org), a free platform for weather station data — dashboard, charts, warnings and embeddable widgets. I'm posting as the operator, and I'm not here to advertise: I'm stuck on something and this seems to be the place where people actually know the answer.
Skyvex accepts the Weather Underground protocol, so everything Meteobridge needs is already in place on our end. The endpoint is live, it takes ID and PASSWORD as credentials, it understands dateutc=now, and on success it replies with the plain text success — so that string can go straight into the success field.
What I don't have is any hands-on experience with the other half. I don't own a Meteobridge. I put the following URL for Services → HTTP Event together from the wiki and a published template, but I have never seen it run:
https://api.skyvex.org/weatherstation/u ... raw&tempf=[th0temp-act=F.1:--]&humidity=[th0hum-act.0:--]&dewptf=[th0dew-act=F.1:--]&windspeedmph=[wind0wind-act=mph.1:--]&windgustmph=[wind0wind-max10=mph.1:--]&winddir=[wind0dir-act.0:--]&baromin=[thb0seapress-act=inHg.3:--]&dailyrainin=[rain0total-daysum=in.2:--]&rainin=[rain0total-sum60=in.2:--]&rainratein=[rain0rate-act=in.2:--]&solarradiation=[sol0rad-act.1:--]&UV=[uv0index-act.1:--]
Three things I'd be grateful to have checked:
Are the selectors right? I'm least sure about rain0total-sum60 for the last hour of rain and wind0wind-max10 for the gust — those were guesses on my part.
Are the converters after the equals sign (=F, =mph, =inHg, =in) the sensible choice for the WU format?
Is -- a safe placeholder here? On our side it is: Skyvex discards non-numeric values, so a sensor that drops out won't be stored as a false 0. I'm asking about the Meteobridge end.
An account is free, and the station ID and password appear in the settings right after signing up. If anyone feels like trying it, I'd very much appreciate the feedback and will correct the instructions accordingly. Current version of the instructions: https://skyvex.org/setup-guide#meteobridge
There's a live dashboard running on the front page if you want to see where the data ends up — tiles can be rearranged, renamed and shared individually, and there's a dark mode. Curious what you make of it.
Thanks in advance, Michael
