Carterlake & Meteohub Data

[Coachless]

I was wondering what others are doing or some suggestions. I've just started using the meteohub and WD Live. But I like the scripts from Carterlake to fillout the rest of my website; but the plug-in wants data from Weather Display. Is there a way to take the sensor data from Meteohub and get it into one of the plugins? I was trying to avoid running a PC 24/7, and switched to this device. Any suggestions. Thanks.

Does the plug-in use data from clientraw files which the meteohub should be outputting for WDL?

[Coachless]

no, it appears it's looking for a file called testtags.php, which WD creates and pushes to the website. The only choice I have with data is a text file or an xml file.; which when I use those through the script, it tells me there is not data.

The meteohub station would need it's own plugin to make it work correctly since meteohub creates only the realtime WD files used with Weather-Display Live.  I'll have to investigate the Meteohub docs to see what tags are available for use, and then see what's possible in a plugin.

Best regards,
Ken

Hello,

I use the template with meteohub. I adapted the file testtags.php for the update of the ajax-dashboard.
Also you will have to make some change in the file ajax-dashboard.php

With the Metohub you must upload to your server the file testtags.html as testtags.php.

I was checking those out and came across the WeatherPlug on Rainmanweather

Seems like he's got it squared away on how to update the Carter Lake dashboard

I've got a new Meteohub setup on a Sheeva Plug (WeatherPlug from rainmainweather.com) and am working on creating a MH-plugin for the template set.  Should have a test version out early next week

We (wife and I) just got back from the Chicago area where we were helping our daughter/husband move into their new home.  Still a bit 2-hr-jet-lagged.

n.b. The MH-plugin won't use the WD-style testtags.php for inputs, it will use the MHtags.php/MH-defs.php to tie the Meteohub variables to WD-variable names used in the gizmo/dashboard, just like the plugins for VWS, WeatherLink, and Cumulus.  That way, the Meteohub native variables will be available in the $WX[] array for use in your own pages if desired.

The MH-plugin will use a version of the AJAX script for Weather-Display as Meteohub does create the clientraw*.txt family of files

Hi Marci Anna, and welcome to wxforum.net

I'd developed a website template set using PHP (a website programming language) and a JavaScript that adds near-realtime updates to some of the weather conditions displayed on the pages.  The initial template set worked only with Weather-Display software, but the Version 3 template sets now work with 4 different weather software programs: Weather-Display, VWS, WeatherLink and Cumulus.  The support for each unique software package is contained in what I call a 'plugin' (a .zip file that contains files to use on the website to support that weather software package).

Website programming is quite a popular item for weather enthusiasts to be able to easily present the weather conditions from their weather station and weather station software.  Hopefully, you'll find it as enjoyable (and somewhat addictive) as you get your station in operation.  See the templates at http://saratoga-weather.org/wxtemplates/index.php

Best regards,
Ken

Thank you so much for explaining but someone told me you are a really great guy. I see that goes without saying.

I'll understand what you said more once I begin using it myself. I can't wait to get started.

I enjoy your website!

Cool. I saw one of those on that site and it peaked my interest. I'd be interested in your review of it Ken.

Good news, I will be enthusiasts to test the new plugin on my site 

Thank you !

[GeirO]

as of today I have started using Meteohub, so I wonder, have you made a plugin for Meteohub? I am about to implement the templates now

Thanks, and regards from the Norwegian Mountains

Funny you should ask

I've been working on a Meteohub plugin for the templates (see the work-in-progress here).  I'd received some wonderful work from Rob of www.rainmanweather.com on getting this started.  I've also asked Boris if a new tag set can be added (for authoritative 'yesterday' data).

Still in development .. hope to release in a week or so.

Thanks for your interest...

Best regards,
Ken

[GeirO]

that is nice to hear! I am building my new side based on your templates now and will get my new Davis Vantage Pro2 weather station next week and then start to get live data into Meteohub. Your plugin seams to arrive in perfect time for me then, thanks.

[saratogaWX]

I'll let you know when a plugin is ready for testing on your site

[GeirO]

thanks, I´ll be waiting

[saratogaWX]

The wait is over

I've just released the Meteohub plugin for use.

http://saratoga-weather.org/wxtemplates/

The install page has the download, and there are two new setup/config pages for Meteohub.

Please let me know how it works for you!

Best regards,
Ken

[GeirO]

looking forward to try it out! Unfortunately not until thursday

Great, I'll update my site with the new plugin in the next days

Thank you for your job 

[GeirO]

I seam to have trouble uploading the graphics, size 0 kb is usually not good... ? any ideas? Clientraw files are ok

[saratogaWX]

What is the URL for the new website?  Did you generate the graph template, install it in /graphs in Meteohub, then use Manage Graphs to edit the units used?

[GeirO]

my new pages are here http://www.gunnarbu.com/varet/index.php

I did generate the graph template, I think, but I might likely have done something wrong. I uploaded the template files to /graphs in Meteohub and I edited the units, but obviously I have missed something

[GeirO]

When I generate the files, tdpb2day.mg, windrose.mg, windrain2day.mg get a .txt extension when downloading them on my mac, I remove the .txt part before copy them to MeteoHub, but still only 0 kb file size both on FTP and local copy

As long as you don't use software as elaborate and complex as Weather Display, you should have nothing to worry about.
