good afternoon
just to update , this morning sunday 2 april i have an email from Boris at meteobridge(smartbedded) hopefully over the next week or so the option of selecting HOMEWEATHERSTATION template will be an available option in the meteobridge panel on the hardware which you will no longer have to cut and paste the long script into the setup panel. just need to iron out a few minor things and then it will have a simple option to use for meteobridge owners..i have prepared the template in advance read below I don't anticipate any major significant changes in terms of meteobridge as it does work in its current state with the two known options.
anyway a week of optimizations and changes to really make it a good user experience allround .
