Here's the reality that I am experiencing:
We are paying for 5 minute uploads to WeatherLink.com using Vantage Connect as it was the most solid solution for our environment. We bought the Davis Pro 2 Plus, and the Vantage Connect excited about have the best weather station in the area. I have a logger and WeatherLinkIP at home on my own personal Vantage Vue which is basically realtime data on Weather Underground.
I was not thrilled with a 5 minute delay, but figured that was still good enough. If we get a gust during a thunderstorm, many locals want to see how strong it was and look to weather stations for that data.
First disappointment was that WeatherLink.com only sends data to Weather Underground every 15 minutes. Now that is too long for me. Yes we can iFrame the WeatherLink.com Summary page into our site, which is what we'll have to do. But that page is a fixed 760 pixel wide table format that looks like it was built 10 to 15 years ago. (Do they not have a developer that can create a responsive layout??)
So my work around:
I'm looking at Meteotemplate which has nice features. If I could get my WeatherLink 6.0.3 software to update every five minutes from WL.com, and then upload to WeatherUnderground every five minutes, I could pull that data (wind gusts and all) into a Meteotemplate design and layout which is "mostly" responsive. Since I can edit the Meteotemplate code, I could probably built a modern beautiful responsive weather page using
my data that I am paying for, and present it promptly in five minute readings. That would be acceptable to me.
But...
My WeatherLink software appears to not be able to download every five minutes from WL.com, and it is also not automatically uploading to Weather Underground.
If WL.com would add the wind gust data into the XML feed, I could work with that. But I suppose they are holding onto my weather data so people will have to look at their old out-of-date looking Summary page if they want to see it. To me that page says, "We here at WeatherLink.com do not have the resources to create an attractive responsive web page, so we give you this year 2000 styled table layout."
