Version 1.9 does bring experimental support for D-Link DIR-505 and some more additional features...

• adding support for weather network "wetter.com"
• adding support for storing latest application stack and historical data on a USB stick. This provides a fall-back position when Meteobridge server cannot be reached and will allow Meteobridge operation in a stand-alone manner, without any need for server interaction. Just plug-in a FAT32 formatted USB stick and this feature will go live. Boot from USB is done, when Meteobridge fails during boot for about 10 minutes to load application stack from Internet.
• fixes a bug preventing from initialization of Ubiquiti AirCams
• experimental support for additional HW platform: D-Link DIR-505

so whats the process of booting from a USB?
where to you get the image for the USB drive?

thanks

process is as follows...
1. Meteobridge does always try to load most recent application stack from the meteobridge server during boot sequence.
2. when download does fail on a couple of retries (abt 10 minutes) meteobridge will look if a usb stick is avail that holds a meteobridge application stack. if so, meteobridge will use that to start operation.
3. when meteobridge does load application stack successfully from meteobridge server, it looks if a usb stick is connected, where to store the recent version of the application stack, in oder to have a backup when server might not be avail on next reboot of meteobridge.
4. historical data is handled in a similar way.

This all works without need for user interaction and reduces dependency of the meteobridge server and allows for proper meteobridge use, even if server might be down at the moment.

1 Will all the historical data be stored on the USB stick?
2 When I take the stick out for the data, I will miss the data of that period?
3 When I replace the USB stick do I need to reboot teh Meteobridge?

no, it is not working in a way logging data continously as you might hope.

Meteobridge just stores min/max/average values for certain timeframes and does
not logged data continously (every hour or so). I don't think you can do anything
usefull with the data on the USB stick outside Meteobridge. When you pull-off
the stick, updates on historical data and new sw-versions will not be stored.
When you plug it in again it will be updated again and can be used for
fail-safe boot without Internet connectivity.
