Amazon Echo Alexa and Weather Underground
« on: May 24, 2017, 12:28:42 PM »
The skill is called "Personal Weather" in the Alexa skills library.   Alexa will read the current conditions or a specific condition off your weather station.  Works with any weather station that can post to weather underground.  Very easy setup.

 download WuiWlink_1.dll (Davis E-mailed it to me)


1.            Navigate to the C:/Weatherlink folder.
2.            Look for a folder called ‘Expansion_Modules’.
3.            Copy that .dll filel into that ‘Expansion_Modules’ folder.
4.            Then open that folder to verify that the .dll file is in there.
5.            Close out of this window.
6.            Open Weatherlink.
7.            Click file, then click ‘manage modules.
8.            On the new box that opens, click ‘add module’.
9.            On the window that opens, make sure it opens the C:/Weatherlink/Expansion_Modules folder.  If it doesn’t navigate to that folder.
10.          Click to select the .dll file I sent you.   Click ‘open’
11.          You’ll now see that file listed in the previous ‘expansion module management’ box.
12.          Click to highlight that file, then click ‘enable module’.   You’ll then be prompted to close out of and restart Weatherlink.   Do that.
13.          Then open Weatherlink.
14.          Click ‘file’.  There should now be an option that says ‘Wunderground Settings’.   Click that.
15.          On the next box, type in the station ID and password that Weather Underground gave you.
16.          Select the update interval.
17.          Then do a test to make sure your data is getting up to Weather Underground.
18.          Click OK.

then go here for instructions
