WU is still the only game in town if rapid-fire 5 second updates are important to you and you don't want the albatross of having to maintain your own site 24/7 with a dedicated computer.
Well it is possible to maintain your own site without a dedicated computer. You can do so with just your Meteobridge or your Meteobridge and a website hosting plan. No dedicated computer required. Also possible with other loggers.
I would rephrase your statement to say it this way.... WU is the only game in town for live like rapidfire updates on a free weather service without spinning up your own website.
Very interesting! I've maintained a personal website for my own amazement on GoDaddy for about 25 years.
With the GoDaddy plan I have, I can also have other websites I want as long as I buy and maintain a site name.
Are you saying that I can start a website, maybe named loganvillewx.com and feed it my VP2+ data in essentially real-time?
If so, how is that done? I'm very interested.
good morning and welcome to the world of data display
if you have some basic understanding how running a website i.e through godaddy then yep all you need is a domain example loganvillewx.com
however I would say you can do better than go daddy and look at the hosting packages from ICDSOFT
https://www.icdsoft.com they are the best for the weather enthusiast and in twenty odd years ive never experienced better and ive tried many in that time , phenomenal support realtime !! and things like https:// are free . I pay $90 a year and its worth every penny or dime and ive been paying that for nigh on 6 years give or take a few dollars ive never seen a massive increase in renewal fees or hidden unexpected renewal fees etc .
for templates your spoilt for choice and there is definitely something to suit your needs freely available .
the one I maintain and develop is specifically for meteobridge users and does not work with any other software like cumulus , weewx etc .
you can find more info here
https://weather34.com/homeweatherstation/ and its evolved into a setup and forget and run 24/7 .requires only the basic knowledge of running a website to run.this template is all about live data from meteobridge with a couple of options to show additional non meteobridge supported like lightning from weatherflow, air quality from purple air,luftdaten etc.this template is not about offsite third party data its all about your data.

then you have the original reliable from Ken True the person who maintains this forum his template is the original benchmark from way back how many years I don't know but is well supported and offers a vast array of different data .
https://saratoga-weather.org/template/then there is meteotemplate which has been around for a number of years its evolved and offers quite an incredible array of different weather related data and has its own forum to exchange ideas and resolve start up issues.
http://meteotemplate.com .
there are others so the choice is quite good and there is no obligation in any of them you just have to find something that suits your needs/requirements.
wish you luck in finding something and its a good winter project !! ..have fun and welcome , nice to see you have a decent reliable weather station.
