Meteobridge straight to WindRose.

Your Meteobridge already reads your station. One HTTP Request event sends that reading to WindRose every minute, whatever the console behind it, with no account to link and no API keys.

A Davis console with a WeatherLink account? WindRose can read from WeatherLink instead, with nothing to configure on the Meteobridge.Read the WeatherLink guide

What you need

  • A Meteobridge (NANO SD, PRO, PRO2 or the Raspberry Pi edition) already reading your station.
  • A computer on the same network, to open the Meteobridge’s web page.

Step by step

  1. In WindRose open Stations, then Add station, and choose Meteobridge (direct upload).

  2. Name the station, place it on the map and save. WindRose shows the URL your Meteobridge will call, with a Copy button.

  3. Open the Meteobridge’s web page and go to Services, then the Events tab. In Select Service choose HTTP Request, as the event type Periodical, then press Add Service Event.

  4. Set the event to every minute, paste the whole URL from WindRose into the URL field and type success in the Success field. Save.

  5. Press Test. Monitoring, then Upload Status, shows the upload, and WindRose shows the station as live within a minute.

Worth knowing

Any station your Meteobridge reads works the same way. Its uploads to Weather Underground or other networks keep running: this event is one more, not a replacement.

The URL is long on purpose: it carries one placeholder per sensor, which the Meteobridge fills in itself before every upload. Paste it whole. Sensors your station does not have are simply skipped.

Keep the address on plain http://. Meteobridge cannot open https connections, and the WindRose upload host never redirects, so it works as it is.

Each URL accepts readings from one Meteobridge only. If you replace it, issue a new URL from the station’s settings in WindRose.
