WeatherBug Backyard Stations

[SteveSBE]

Are backyard weather stations available via WeatherBug?

SteveSBE,

Yes. And it works like a champ. Just enter the p number of the desired WB Backyard Station into the LocationID field of the ISY Weatherbug Settings screen.

Edit: Note Weatherbug does not (yet) publish light data from a Backyard station.

I can see it at the following link but it does not update in the UD Admin console.

I get this error:

Sat 2011/08/20 11:41:16 AM System -140005 CLI-WBug

 

Any reason why?

 

Thanks,

Looks like there's no current data being published from this Backyard station. Please see the status on the right side of this url:

Never mind...my mistake. I had configured my weather station upload incorrectly. It works now! Steve

Excellent. Glad you got it working as it's great to have (very!) local weather data.

Hi Steve,

 

If you don't mind me asking, what weatherstation hardware and software are you using? And how do you like it?

 

The closest WB weatherstation to me is far enough away that the readings are a couple of degrees off from my home. Since I just installed a couple of whole-house fans I want to automate them to turn on when there's enough temp difference between the inside of the house, the attic and the outside so I'm in the process of deciding weather (haha, get it...) to just buy some temp sensors or to go all the way and buy a weatherstation.

 

Thanks!

I use Davis Weatherstaion II (older model) and Virtual Weather Station.
