Topic: AmbientWeather.net 2.0 Website Goes Public March 1, 2020.

You could consider the investment in the Ambient WeatherBridge as gaining much more than just the ability to upload to Ambientweather.net. A WeatherBridge (Meteobridge) has many other benefits. With my WeatherBridge (Meteobridge) I upload to 12 online services (but supports many others that I'm not uploading to), it handles my weather cam with overlay text to various sites, I upload to local SQL database, and it can handle various personal weather website templates, and it has some nice alerting features. It also frees you from needing a computer to run 24/7. Plus I can be assured that if any new online service comes along that it will be updated to support it, as any of the recent new services are already supported, like Windy and MeteoMap.cloud...etc.

What is your website?

[BKS97]

  I know you are still building the system, but are you going to have widgets to use on websites and other templates to make things easier to incorporate into websites?

When you upload to ambientweather.net, you have the option to embed your dashboard on your personal website, choosing what parts you would like to display, as I do on mine.

BKS97, the website on your profile doesn't work. Says "Unable to handle request".
  Do you have another website?

I said the Meteobridge can handle personal website templates, but I don't have one....yet. Work in progress.

But if you want to know what a personal website would look like using a Meteobridge, then all you have to do is look up any of the other popular weather templates as you can run all of them at the same time if you want; Saratoga, Weather34, Leuven, Meteotemplate and others. All of these can be simply set up leaving them as they come or you can easily customize them. You can also roll your own.

Gruve5, the link works for me.  Maybe try again?

It works now.

As I spend more time on the AmbientWeather site, the more I like it. Is there any chance of adding Webcams some time in the future? I think it would be a nice feature, but it might be cost prohibitive.

Yes. We shall.

The reason it will work is we will only store one image.

Or , just the ability to include a link to a site, of which is already showing a period interval cam.

Although, I can understand the liabilities of not just doing so.

WU .. seems to have the same issues, pretty much need to vet each site. And I can fully understand, why a site may not want to offer the capability.

Some other suggestions:

1) Include date and time somewhere localized to the PWS
2) Have an auto refresh of some kind on the map (especially useful with radar) , figure 1 minute interval
3) Remember settings (cookie) for the following (its very annoying to have to re-select stuff after a manual refresh):
3a) Radar / Wind / Temp  on | off , if selected
3b) Map zoom level
