Open Weather Map upload is missing "Station Name"

Post by wvdkuil »

When uploading the data to Open Weather Map the name of the station is filled with the user name.
My username is wvdkuil and the resulting weather station is then called wvdkuil.wvdkuil by the openweathermap software.
This is not correct. One user can have multiple weatherstations which are available in Open Weather Map under 1 user-name..
So on the Meteobridge => WeatherNetwork tab => Open Weather Map specification an extra field is needed: "Station Name".

The Open Weather Map specification for the HTTP upload fields contains this station name also: http://openweathermap.org/stations

I hope this can be included in an upcoming maintenance release.

In a separate post I will also ask for inclusion of this Open Weather Map project in the uploads for Meteohub.

If possible can you check the upload of
wind ==> should be in m/s , the resulting value on-line is "undefined"
dewpoint ==> reads now -260 °C

In their docs I see a lot of possible upload values which are not displayed by them yet (UV for example), so I can not check them.

Thanks, Wim
