4.9.15 Weather Server

You may jump to section 4.9.16 now to have your console connected with
your Wi-Fi network first. Then back to section 4.9.15 to have cloud data
hosting setup completed.

Your console is capable of sending your sensor data to select internet-based
weather services. The supported services are shown in the table below:

Service

Description

Weather Underground

Site:

https://wunderground.com

provides local & long-range weather forecasts, weather
reports, maps & tropical weather conditions for locations
worldwide.

WOW

Site:

https://wow.metoffice.gov.uk

A UK based weather observation website.

Weather Cloud

Site:

https://weathercloud.net

A large network of weather stations reporting data in real
time from all over the world.

Ecowitt Weather

Site:

https://www.ecowitt.net

Ecowitt’s new weather server that can host a bunch of
sensors that other services don’t support at this time.

Table: Supported weather services

Note:

If you are testing the setup with the outdoor sensor package nearby

and indoor, you may want to consider connecting to Wi-Fi, but not yet
configuring any of the weather services. The reason is that while indoor the
temperatures and humidity recorded by the outdoor sensor, and as reported
to the weather service(s) will reflect indoor conditions, and not outdoor
conditions. Therefore, they will be incorrect. Furthermore, the rainfall
bucket may be tripped during handling, causing rain to register while it may
not actually have been raining. One way to prevent this is to follow all
instructions, except to use an incorrect password, on purpose! Then, after
