There is a program called, "Weather Display". The plus is that it will save info from a large number of possible PWS including some cheaper ones in a format that you can easily macro into BI. The negative is that it would be an added program always running on your computer.I don't have a weather station, but if there was a low end model that could do temp, wind, humidity I'd consider putting one up just so Blue Iris had accurate and timely updates. WUnderground has been hit of miss with me, with certain "stations" going offline and having to switch to others.
From a village in Spain: Barxeta, Valencia Province, Spain Weather Forecast and Conditions - The Weather Channel | Weather.comI am thinking of using weather.com and scraping the page for the data. Been researching it and it seems like it should work, be stable and not require any API key or anything like that. I plan on diving into testing this weekend.
Anyone care to share a link to their town / city's current weather (particularly outside of the US)? Similar to this

Hi.There is a program called, "Weather Display". The plus is that it will save info from a large number of possible PWS including some cheaper ones in a format that you can easily macro into BI. The negative is that it would be an added program always running on your computer.
It was what I used before Mike and BIT.
It makes text files (aka "temp.txt", "wind.txt" etc.) much like BIT does and you macro them in exactly the same way. The program costs $60 though and it has a learning curve. Knowing how good Mike is with this stuff, I'd think it best to hold off and give him a chance.Hi.
How would you macro it into BI. Any instructions would be appreciated.
Thank you
Following - hope something can be worked-out.
Before BIT, I was using the script below. Of course WU won't work now but I'm getting an error on line 66 using METAR source (used to work). Can anyone help?
EDIT:
Fixed the script: line6664 should be:
I created three separate .vbs scripts for temperature, humidity, and wind, and had them generate (using windows task scheduler) three .txt files which are linked to BI Macros.Code:Set http = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.6.0")
See the resulting display @ gatorcam.sunandshore.com

I was looking at them a year or so ago online..I don't have a weather station, but if there was a low end model that could do temp, wind, humidity I'd consider putting one up just so Blue Iris had accurate and timely updates.

Do all weather stations work on all sites? I'm looking at getting one too, but want to buy something that will be compatible with BI and some home automation stuff.I was looking at them a year or so ago online..

Post some URL's to wunderground weather data for your PWS that are outside of the US.
Hi Mike, 100% appreciate your work and efforts on Blue Iris Tools and really hope a fix can be found.I am thinking of using weather.com and scraping the page for the data. Been researching it and it seems like it should work, be stable and not require any API key or anything like that. I plan on diving into testing this weekend.

I'm not a programmer etc however have noticed you can generate an API key from your account area on Weather Underground if that's any use?I am thinking of using weather.com and scraping the page for the data.
