HAM weather information

larryllix · June 12, 2014

I can't seem to find much information on this. It sounds like a cute tools that could be useful and I see talk about support for it in v4.2.4.

Could somebody with some knowledge post information on this? This may be a good spot for some discussion that newbies can reference.

What does ISY have to have (modules?) to access it?

Where does the data come from?

What data is available?

Are there lists of locations available?

Screen captures would be nice and worth 1000 bytes.

Hardware to create your own, if possible.

Thanks!

You will be able to find some of this using the search function. I'll take a stab at some of it...

-The data comes from local weather stations. ie Airports, personal weather stations, etc.

-Go here to see what data is available... http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=12558#p97865. Go halfway down the post to MOD CLIMATE.

-Go here for a screen shot http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i_Series_INSTEON:WeatherBug. With that said, that page needs updating now that the modules have changed in 4.2.4.

-I have a personal weather station and the hardware I used is described here... http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=10176#p77094

jmed999,

Thanks so very much for all the details which were 100% accurate.

We still need to update the Wiki.

With kind regards,

Michel

Thanks for the briefing!

Q1: I take it there is no way to get data from these devices directly into the ISY ie. without cloud services?

Q2: Are most of these weather sensor devices capable of porting the information elsewhere? I find this very obscure in all the advertising.
