Weather Software > What Weather Software should I use/buy?
Free Software?
Lowgill_Weather:
I have an Aercus Weather Ranger (is it a re-badged Ambient?). I recently changed from wunderground to PWS for looking at my data online. I keep a spreadsheet version of summary figures but July was messy because of wunderground issues and then the change so to fill in the gap I downloaded the station data into Excel using an SD card but this isn't really a practical way to look at all my historical data. This got me thinking. Is there a software package I can download this csv data into so I can look at it independently of who I use online and also keep my history if I have a station failure? I'm afraid I'm thinking free or cheap.
I have installed EasyWeatherIP thinking that might do it but I have two problems. It sees the ip address of my PC but doesn't find the weather station, I guess it's something to do with my network configuration. Even if I get it working I think it will look at my weather station data rather than the data I have transferred to the PC. Any suggestions please?

sounds like the sort of thing Cumulus Mx could do and your device is not on the unsupported list (unless it's a fine offset clone it's not on the supported one either though :-|)
I am not sure about importing data as csv flavours vary and you may need to do some sort of conversion. The devil will be in the detail, for example the measurement units
Cumulus Mx folk are often on these boards so I expect they will be able to confirm

Thanks for that. I'll have a look. My station only connects to one website at a time, how do you do multiple sites, do you use an always on PC?

Plenty of methods on these boards, it really does depend how your station interfaces with the outside world, I see its WiFi so it depends how locked down it is
Cumulus Mx for example can forward data to other sites (my Windy and PWSWeather data comes from Cumulus Mx) but there are other solutions
I do have an always-on PC to run Cumulus, thats my choice because I had one, but it can run on Linux and Raspberry PI so there other low cost options
Check out Weewx and meteobridge/meteohub and WeatherDisplay elsewhere on these boards
