Read/import raw data?

Post by Hathor27 »

Is there a way to read/import weather data in raw format by a Plug-In?
What I exactly mean is not the input format described in section Plug-In (p 140 of manual),
but the format described in section Appendix C: Format of Raw Data (p 141ff).

How can I get meteohub to read this data format with given timestamp and parameters as shown there?

Today I read about HTTP Data Logging Protocol to get raw data out of Meteohub.
Is there a similar thing the other way around? To put raw data into Meteohub in the same manner?

No, the http protocl just supprts reading data.

When you want to import data from the past, I would recommend to convert it into the raw data format Meteohub works on. The manual's appendixes do give format details on that.

When you want to add support for an non-standard sensor to feed live data into the system, then the plug-in otions might be the ones to choose. Format is explained in the manual as well.

Thank you, admin - I know about this feature.

I want to add non-standard sensors for non-standard weather stations.

With Plug-In's I can import parameters as mentioned at page 140 of the actual maunal,
but how could I import
  • windchill
  • dew point
  • forecast
  • sealevel pressure
  • or the corresponding timestamp, if it's not the actual
just like some predefined weather stations do?

puhh, another ton of questions... :roll:
You will see that sealevel (in regard to given height), chill (in regard to th0) and dew are computed automatically.
Meteohub sets timestamp of incoming data itself. For the sake of data consitency, it has to be that way.

I'm sorry... :? did I write anything in a wrong way? It wasn't meant barefaced at any time...

...I saw that - but as I saw too, some stations are able to fill in their own values instead of calculated ones by meteohub. Is there any way to put these by a Plug-In or so?...
