When you have a Meteoplug Account, you can give the new Live Data Charting a try (still at prototype level). This can be used by pure Meteoplug setups and by Meteohub users that use Meteoplug as an add-on for advanced graphing.

Will you be implementing this for WDL as well? At the moment we are stuck with 10 minute updates which is a considerable step down from the 10 second updates I used to see when running WD on a PC. I admit the Sheevaplug has is a much lower running cost but is there any reason you restrict the updates in this way?

Meteoplug will probably never perfectly feed WDL which is designed to be a web front end for weather display.
I have not decided yet if there is a way for also increasing WDL updates for Meteoplug, but the problem with WDL is,
that users excpect its hundreds of very WD specific features to be fully suported, which is not what I want to do with Meteoplug.
As said, I will check if the reduced non-customizable WDL version integrated in Meteoplug might get faster updates.
But I will give certainly more focus on Meteoplugs own live data presentation.
As a Meteohub user you already have quite good WDL support with update intervals down to every minute.

How do I get WDL updates every minute? As far as I can see there are only options for 10 minutes +. I have wunderground set up for 60 seconds (or less) and that works fine. As far as WDL is concerned the Meteo support is almost perfect and I could not ask for more other than rapid updates. People (local farmers and amateur pilots) liked the 'dynamic' view of WDL on my web site as it gave them confidence everything was indeed working (moving wind speed/direction etc) and have been asking me why it stopped being so.
For me and my users, a 10 second WDL update frequency would make Meteoplug a 100% perfect product so if there is any way you could overcome the current limitation is would be most most appreciated. Unfortunately, in our real-time connected up world, the iPhone generation expect everything to be immediate
Anyway thanks for your continuing work with Meteohub - great project and I support it wholeheartedly!
