What is "meteobridge"?

Meteobridge is a small device that connects your personal weather station to weather network "Weather Underground". This allows you to store your micro climate data at Weather Underground and to have it there visible from wherever in the Internet. All you need is Internet access, to reach Weather Undergrounds web pages, where you can inspect your current and historical data. By that you can also share your weather data with friends and you are actively participating in a large network of weather enthusiasts who also share their weather observations with you.

Picture below shows how your weather station gets connected to Weather Underground with the help of Meteobridge, which bridges the gap between your weather station and your router.


Why don't take a regular PC for this?

Of course, instead of using a meteobridge device, you can also connect your weather station to a PC and install SW there that uploads data to Weather Underground. Many people do that, but it demands you to

  • take care of you pc really running undisturbed 24/7, which is normally not the case for your office PC


What makes meteobridge special?


  • the applications software stack from smartbedded which is used with Meteoplug devices (www.meteoplug.com)

Meteobrige is simply speaking putting these building blocks together and giving it a specialized purpose to feed Weather Underground with your weather station's data.
