What is "Meteobridge"?

Meteobridge is a small device that connects your personal weather station to public weather networks or your own meteotemplate. This allows you to feed your micro climate data to a weather network in the Internet and to have it there visible from wherever you are. All you need is Internet access, to reach the weather networks's 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.

What makes Meteobridge special?

The idea lined out above is very easy so you might ask, why hasn't something like that been created before. To make this idea work you need a cheap platform, powerfull enough to run such code plus a development environment to put the application code on top and you need application code that supports a lot of weather stations, to make it a solution suitable to a broad range of customer situations. Recently, these building blocks have come together:

small and cheap router devices from TP-LINK building the HW platform
a stable OpenWrt Linux port for this hardware which supports LAN and WLAN
application software stack from smartbedded which is also used and tested with Meteoplug devices (www.meteoplug.com)

Simply speaking, Meteobrige is bringing these building blocks together and focussing it to the specialized purpose to feed Internet weather networks with your weather station's data.

More features

Meteobridge's web interface is secured by a password you can change.
Meteobridge can be resetted to default network behavior and default password with the unit's reset button. So you should never be locked out, whatever you did wrong when configuring the network parameters or changing passwords.
There is an Internet application that allows you to make a network configuration for your Meteobridge device without having that running yet. Configuration can be downloaded to USB stick and when starting Meteobridge device with this stick plugged in, it will use the stored configuration for startup. This is a significant simplification when setting up meteobridge as a WLAN device or in non-DHCP LAN environments.
