Release Log

To have your Meteobridge running the latest SW release, just do a reboot or power-cycle. Updates are available for free for the first 2 years after initial license purchase. After that period you can buy another 2 years of updates for 19 Euro. Meteobridge PRO/PRO2 and NANO provide unlimited free updates.

Chapters below illustrate new features and bug fixes that have been realized in current and previous releases.

Version 5.9

Released May 1, 2024

Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO SD, RPI: Fixes a bug that prevented migration of sensor data to another sensor on tab "Database - Administration".

Released April 25/26, 2024

Meteobridge PRO2: Initial release of NBIOT option for Meteobridge PRO2. Please read here to find details: https://meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/Meteobridge_NBIOT

Released April 20/21, 2024

Meteobridge PRO2: some improvements on NBIOT option, before making it for some EU countries covered by 1NCE NB-IOT network available.

Released April 16, 2024

Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO SD, RPI: Offers download links for 34 Meteobridge Aurora Master File and Updates on "System - Administration" tab. Files are intended to equip your Web Server with the 34 Meteobridge Aurora templates, they cannot be installed on Meteobridge directly, but Meteobridge can feed your server with data to be shown via the templates.

Released April 14, 2024

Update on code to avoid flooding of TCP socket pool when a misbehaving TCP/IP station (like some instances of WiFi logger) randomly close connections.

Released April 10, 2024

Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO SD, RPI: fixes a bug that removes per minute data when doing a forced database rebuild.

Version 5.8

Released March 14/16/17, 2024

Meteobridge PRO2, NANO: Better handling of low RAM situations to reduce CPU workload caused by "kworker system processes" kicking in less often.

Released March 11/12, 2024

Meteobridge PRO2: reduces memory footprint of samba4 server to improve overall performance.
Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, RPI: does reset of USB connections during boot in order to have all connected USB devices showing up correctly.

Released March 10, 2024

Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO SD, RPI: some additions to the code rework on database handling, that improves consistency of RAM DB and persistent DB in edge cases like sensor data missing over a longer time, system restarts, etc.

Released March 6/7, 2024

Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO SD, RPI: a rework on database code solved some issues regarding providing an undelayed reporting of cumulative sensor data like "rainXtotal".

Released March 2, 2024

Meteobridge RO2, NANO SD, RPI: fixes a shortly introduced system load bug. By adding the PHP module "php7-mod-openssl" performance degrades a lot. We made a work around that no longer needs this PHP module, even when grabbing data from a HTTPS web source. Newest version of the Dashboard gets rid of the openssl PHP module and by that gets rid of additional system load again. Please press "Reinstall Dashboard" button on "Monitoring - Dashboard" tab if you don't have version 3.5 already installed.

Released March 1, 2024

Meteobridge PRO, PRO2: Reduces OLED re-initialized schedule to once an hour to avoid regular display blink, which is a side effect of re-initialization.

Released Feb 27/28, 2024

Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO SD, RPI: fixes a bug that occured when using blanks in metachart names.
Meteobridge PRO, PRO2: OLED display gets re-initialized on every "clear screen" command. This prevents the display content from getting travelling along the y-axis on some displays in the PRO and PRO2.

Released Feb 26, 2024

Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO SD, RPI: adds selectors "mcount", "ycount" and "acount" for rainXtotal sensors in order to report the number of days with rainfall within the current month (mcount), year (ycount) and total observation time (acount). Example: [rain0total-mcount:--] reports number of days with rain in current month. rain day counts can be used with selector "count" in combination with point in time notations. Example: [rain0total-count@202312:--] reports number of days with rain in December 2023. To make this feature available, you need to issue the "reconstruct" command on "Database - Adminstration" tab. Selector "count" can be used in export definitions to get number of days with rain out of the database.

Released Feb 13, 2024

fixes a factor 10 too low bug on "rain total" and "rain rate" values when reading data from WL Cloud.
Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO SD, RPI: fixes a bug that impacts time resolution and interval when defining graphic generation events past event #10.

adds some more data fields for WOW upload (soil, wind gust direction).

Released Feb 7, 2024

adds support for LabJack U3 measurement boxes (U3-HV and U3-LV are supported). Labjack U3 is a very versatile solution to measure voltages in 12 bit resolution (up to +/- 10 volts), frequencies, duty cycles, signal durations. This allows to connect any sensor that has a voltage or frequency output to Meteobridge. Data is reflected in Meteobridge via "data0num" to "data15num" sensors. Please refer to the LabJack documentation to understand how to configure the 16 ports provided by the U3. Only one U3 unit can be connected to Meteobridge. While LabJack U3 is rather expensive when bought new, there are many used units available for smaller budgets.

Released Feb 6, 2024

Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO SD, RPI: adds parameter for line thickness "Thick" in metacharts. Default value is "1".

Released Feb 1, 2024

adds a cheap voltage/current measurement board (N4AIA04) as weather station to Meteobridge. It needs to be connected to a Meteobridge USB port via a RS485 adapter based on Prolific or FTDI chips. The board provides voltage and current on two channels. Measured data is reflected as numerical data entries: "data0num" (voltage 1st channel), "data1num" (voltage 2nd channel), "data2num" (current 1st channel im mA), "data3num" (current 2nd channel in mA).

Released January 4, 2023

fixes a persistent bug when computing sea level pressure for Meteostick for 1st minute when no outdoor temp being measured so far.

Released December 21, 2023

fixes a bug that prevents to take care of rain sensor mapping during upload to Meteoplug cloud service.

Released December 18, 2023

Meteobridge PRO2: stops calculation of sealevel pressure for first 5 minutes, when no outdoor temp available.
Meteobridge PRO2: sixes the rare situation when data from internal data (I2C connected devices) are suddenly no longer reporting and need a power-cycle to be operational again.
Meteobridge PRO2: fixes a bug that blocked Vantage RF reception if "save" button has been pressed multiple times on "Station" tab.

Released December 15/16, 2023

fixes a bug that does report an error with weather network WeatherWizz on tab "Weather Nets" even when credentials are correct.
Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO SD, RPI: fixes a bug that prevents from deleting files with a space in the name when using "Download or Delete Files" button on "System - Administration" tab.
removed misleading version number of data logging process. All Meteobridge components are now running under one version number and build number.
Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO SD, RPI: fixes shortly introduced bug that "use installed version" is not shown as option.
Meteobridge PRO2: adds system sensors to default sensor mapping. This allows to easily make use of those in Meteoplug.

Released December 13, 2023

adds selector for rain resolution (0.1mm vs 0.2mm) for weather station Lufft WS700/600/10

Released December 10/11, 2023

speeds up "System" tabs. As there have been quite some code changes behind the scenes, introduction of new bugs on "System - Information" tab cannot be ruled out. Please report newly introduced bugs in forum.meteobridge.com to have this solved quickly.
Meteobridge PRO2: speeds up web interface by changed memory settings.

Version 5.7

Released December 8, 2023

Meteobridge PRO, PRO2: adds vendor and product information of USB devices connected to the front or back USB connector.

Released December 5, 2023

some space reductions on embedded pictures in order to give systems like MR3020v1 a bit more RAM headroom.
reduces storage requirements for language files by storing them gzip instead of plain text.
Meteobridge PRO, PRO2: display of any USB device connected to front or back USB port. If no storage device USB vendor and product ID will be shown on "System - Information" tab.

Released November 18/19, 2023

Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO SD, RPI: some improvements to avoid data gaps when using WSWIN "Dateiüberwachung".
Meteobridge PRO2: adds "lowbat" and "signal" sensors to be stored permanently.

Released November 14/15/16, 2023

adds an option to define virtual sensors on "Station - Virtual Sensors" tab. In a first step the sensor that should trigger to generate data for a virtual sensor needs to be defined. Next the virtual sensor needs to be selected. Virtual sensors are assigned to a virtual station #8. When trigger sensor and virtual sensor to generate data for are defined, next step is to define an expression that is used for computation of the virtual sensor data. To store this definition "Save" button needs to be pressed. "Reset" button deletes all virtual sensor definitions. The computation is using the same syntax as with templates. You can use any template variables and you can apply math to them in terms of arithmetic expressions. Also conditional #if#then#else#fi# expressions can be used, like with templates. Virtual sensors can be assigned away from virtual station #8 to any other sensor name on "Station - Mapping" tab. Examples: The definition for virtual sensor "thb8!0temp" (which is triggered each time new data for "thb0!0temp" arrives) tells that the current value of "thb0temp" is multiplied by 1.3 and stored as virtual sensor value. The generation of data for virtual sensor "wind8!0wind" is triggered by "wind0!0wind" and the value to be stored is the minimum of the last 3 "wind0wind" readings. Putting the mouse over the orange "i" icons pops up a text that outlines most recent computation of the virtual sensor data. Find more examples in the Meteobridge Forum.

Released October 31, 2023

adds selectors "prev", "prev1", "prev2", ... to sensor template definitions to address data values in the past. Here which data to pick is not specified by a time frame but by occurrence of data. "[thb0temp-prev]" and "[thb0temp-prev1]" select the temperature data of indoor sensor "thb0" which has been reported by the sensor before the most recent data has been given to Meteobridge. So to speak "prevN" selects data from N steps into the past.
adds selectors "prevtime", "prevtime2", "prevtime2", ... which work as the "prev" selectors but report timestamp from the past.

Released October 29, 2023

Meteobridge PRO2: fixes a bug that stalls MB PRO2 when remote login enabled.
fixes a bug on computation of sea level pressure with "Weatherflow" and "Purple Air" stations.
fixes a bug when uploading soil/leaf data from a Weatherlink Live station to Meteoplug Cloud. Sensor mapping defined in Meteobridge is now also applied to corresponding Meteoplug data.

released October 18, 2023

adds an option to MR3020 models to define a boot delay on "System - Administration" tab. This option was previously limited to Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO, RPI. A boot delay can help to allow the router to start proper operation after a power fail before Meteobridge starts reaching out to the Internet.
fixes a bug regarding rain rate and rain total when using WL Cloud as weather station
fixes a bug that prevented data for wet-bulb temperature shown on "Monitoring - Min/Max Data" tab

released October 17, 2023

adds measurement of "wet bulb" to "th" sensors. "th0wetbulb" specifies the "web bulb temperature" of "th0" sensor. Wet bulb values can be used in templates, graphs and exports. Wetbulb data is available only after having updated Meteobridge, it is not applied to historical data. Used formular is:
wetbulb = temp * atan (0.151977 * sqrt (hum + 8.313659)) + atan (temp + hum) - atan (hum - 1.676331) + 0.00391838 * pow (hum, 1.5) * atan (0.023101 * hum) - 4.686035

released October 15, 2023

fixes a newly introduced bug where data update stops after a while when reading data from Davis WLL (WeatherLink Live).

released October 13, 2023

adds experimental support for the Instromet Weather Station Logger.
improves code for evaluating 3rd party sunshine detector for Davis stations.
makes station available indicators when selecting the type of a connected station more visible. A red mark indicates that a station of the selected type is currently not connected to Meteobridge. A green mark indicates that such a station is for sure connected/available. A missing mark indicates that it is not known if the selected type of station is available.

released October 7, 2023

improves Weatherlink Cloud data download when using multiple stations. Per default data from all stations is evaluated. Presented station IDs are listed in the Log on "System - Logging" tab. To restrict reception of data to one station the station ID can be added as third parameter in the "V2 Key+Secret" field. When multiple stations report different data for a certain type of sensor, this might result into flipping data for an impacted sensor. To avoid this, a selection of a specific Station-ID might be a good idea.
Meteobridge PRO and PRO2: adds a display on "System - Information" tab that shows connected USB sticks and I2C devices (PRO2 only). USB sticks are shown with vendor/model information, total capacity and installed file system. When USB stick is intended for backup use, it needs to be partitioned as it comes from the factory (vfat and partitioned).
changes data uploads to weather network WeatherFlow from HTTP to HTTPS.

released September 30, 2023

adds a "Proxy-SFTP" service that allows older Meteobridge platforms (that do no support OpenSSL 1.1 which is demanded by some SFTP servers) to upload files by using the Meteobridge server as a proxy. Upload can be tested as with FTP and SFTP before. When defining an event the Proxy-SFTP option needs to selected. Fastest repetition interval is "every minute". Proxy-SFTP events need to be prefixed with "proxysftp" as shown in the attached examples. To avoid running into timeouts file sizes should not exceed 10MB. By using this Proxy-SFTP you pass SFTP credentials through the Meteobridge server. Therefore, I would like to explain how this works, so that you can decide if you are willing to make use of this service. The file data and the credentials are sent by a HTTPS get/post request to the Meteobridge server. This means the transport to the Meteobridge server is encrypted and no one can read the data being transferred. The addressed script on the server takes the data and starts a SFTP session for the given file using the provided credentials. Neither file nor credentials are stored on the Meteobridge server, they are just used within the script during execution. Leak of data can only happen, when the Meteobridge server is hacked and the script gets modified. In theory I could of course lie to you and sneak your credentials, so you have to trust me not to exploiting your data and SFTP credentials. I hope this gives you some feeling in regards to security. The Proxy-SFTP service should not be your first choice for FTP/SFTP but might be a welcome option when direct FTP/SFTP fails because of lacking OpenSSL 1.1 on your Meteobridge.

released September 21, 2023

fixes a bug introduced with last update which may crash the logging process and hides the GW1000 station option.

released September 18, 2023

allows to make use of Davis Weatherlink Cloud as a virtual weather station. As many Davis products report data to Davis WeatherLink and some of these products (like new 6313 console) do not provide any data locally, Meteobridge now allows to read weather data from the Davis Cloud. When you are on a basic WeatherLink plan the sensor updates will only be available every 15 minutes. This is a solution inferior of getting local access to data in realtime, but ist is better that not having this data at all. Meteobridge makes use of WeatherLink API v2 and you need to insert API key and API secret (separated by a blank). Warning: Current implementation is still beta, errors might show up for certain sensor setups.

released September 16, 2023

Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO SD, RPI: improves fault tolerance of database restore script.
Meteobridge PRO2: fixes another bug that prevented from using SFTP.

released September 3, 2023

Meteobridge PRO2: fixes bug that prevented from using SFTP.

released August 21, 2023

Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO SD, RPI: adds line prefix symbol "@" for expert definitions. A line headed with "@" is 1:1 copied as header to the export file. In comparison to "$" (which does mainly the same) a line headed by "@" ist not subject to template expansion.

released August 11, 2023

Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO SD, RPI: gives access to file upload and download functions from "System - Administration" tab.
Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO SD, RPI: enhances download function to show file sizes and to also allow for deletion of files.

released August 9/10, 2023

fixes a bug when feeding mapped sensors to Meteoplug Cloud service.
limits sensor update rate to 50 secs for RS500 indoor temp/hum station (when no data changes appear).

released July 31, 2023

As twitter dropped the v1 API Meteobridge relied on to upload messages, twitter support is removed from Meteobridge. Sorry guys.

Version 5.6

released July 24, 2023

adds the facility to make use of "if-then-else-fi" clauses and numerical expressions inside export definitions. Example:

Template definition that reports maximum of th0temp and th1temp as last CSV value and also handles if one of the temperature values is missing:

[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD],[hh]:[mm],[th0temp-max.1:--],[th1temp-max.1:--],#if#{*[th0temp-max.1:-999]>[th1temp-max.1:-999]*}#then#[th0temp-max.1:]#else#[th1temp-max.1:]#fi#

fixes a bug that causes a GUI crash when webcam URL on "Station - Cam" tab is extremely long.

released May 7, 2023

fixes a bug in regard to reporting history data from Davis Logger to Weatherlink Cloud.

released April 30, 2023

Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO SD, RPI: some bug fixes related to the import function.

released April 25, 2023

fixes a newly introduced bug, where toggling the per-minute resolution option on tab "Database - Admin" was not remembered.

released April 23, 2023

Slight redesign of the GUI to better group "database admin" functions and "station setup" settings. This also streamlines the busy "system admin" tab a bit. Tab "Live Data"is renamed "Monitor" and "History" is now named "Database". I hope you can more intuitively navigate by this in the future, once you got used to it. I cannot rule out that some function may be broke, so please post here in the forum if you face problems caused by the redesign.

released April 22, 2023

Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO SD, RPI: Import of Meteohub raw data had a bug that impacted cumulative data like rain total. Current release does have this fixed. There is also an option added allows to decide if hourly data to be imported only or per-minute data also being imported. Importing of per minute data will make import process extremely slow, so please choose wisely.

released April 15, 2023

fixes a bug that can crash Meteobridge GUI

released April 6, 2023

fixes a bug in support of WeatherWizz network that aborted uploads when soil sensors were present.

released April 4, 2023

some minor image size reductions to spare space on older platforms, which are already filled to the max.

released March 30/31, 2023

adds "WeatherWizz" to the list of supported weather networks.

released March 25, 2023

Meteobridge NANO: When in stand-alone mode Meteobridge can now interpret date/time of Vantage console as UTC/GMT instead of local time. This might spare you switching console between changing DST settings over the year. Meteobridge will apply timezone and DST switching automatically without manual interaction with the console. When not in stand-alone mode Meteobridge will use Internet to keep date/time in dyes.

released March 22, 2023

fixes a bug that kept TL-MR3020v1 in an endless boot loop. Last additions have grown image too much. Some image space reductions brought it back to fit.
adds reporting of solar radiation to weather network "meteoclimatic"

released March 21, 2023

adds support for second air quality sensor in a purple air device. Data of second sensor is reported as "air#!3pm" (10 um), "air#!4pm" (2.5 um) and "air#!5pm" (1 um).

released March 10/11, 2023

fixes release 5.6 not shown as 5.6 on "System - Information" tab

released March 7, 2023

Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO SD, RPI: fixes a bug in "Station - Mapping" tab where "uv#index" sensors could be mapped to "th#heatindex" sensors, which is not making sense.
Meteobridge PRO2: adds script "download.cgi" to give Meteobridge PRO2 full features to upload and download data via "http://x.x.x.x/upload.html" and "http://x.x.x.x/cgi-bin/download.cgi".

Version 5.5

released March 4, 2023

Uploading data to weather network "meteoclimatic" is done in multiple steps. First Meteobridge generates a data file containing all what Meteoclimatic needs, then this file gets uploaded to the Meteobridge server at a dedicated URL. Finally, the Meteoclimatic network gets pointed to this file. This approach has the privacy disadvantage that the data you provide to meteoclimatic can be viewed by anyone, when the URL where to pick the data is known. Just released update allows you to specify an individual add-on to the URL. This way you can change the URL by adding a string and someone knowing the former URL will no longer be able to retrieve your data, unless you tell the new URL, which of course you can change again. When using this, please don't forget to inform Meteolimatic about the new URL as well.

released February 25, 2023

Meteobridge NANO SD, PRO, PRO2, RPI: Database rebuild feature on "System - Administration" tab has been reworked to apply per-minute data deletion settings when doing a rebuild. This helps to solve situations, where the database has grown to the max because of per-minute data and now stopped operation because of disk being full. Just deleting records from the database does not shrink its physical size. It needs a SQL dump and reimport to build the database up from scratch again. While doing so Meteobridge now also applies the "delete per-minute data" option on "System - Administration" tab. Per minute data that is older as the given threshold will not make it into the new database. This helps to keep the new database small and to resolve the "disk is full" error. When no per-minute deletion is specified, all data will loaded into the new database as before. Rebuilding the database is a very time consuming process. Meteobridge now estimates in the log file how long it will approximately take.

released February 22, 2023

Meteobridge NANO SD: supports Stand-Alone mode where the NANO SD is not connected to the Internet. NANO can be accessed via the WLAN AP it is providing via SSID "Meteobridge-XXXXXXXXXXXX" and standard password "meteobridge" (which can be changed). As Meteobridge does not have a RTC it asks the Davis console for date/time. By that recorded data can be time stamped correctly. Upload of data to weather networks or all other features that need the Internet are not possible in that mode of operation. However, it can log data locally and allows a technician showing up from time to time with a Laptop to connect to the NANO SD by WiFi, to start generating an local data export and to download the generated export file to the Laptop. In some edge cases this might be interesting for Davis stations being out in the wild where no Internet access can be achieved and just collecting logged data from time to time is good enough for the intended purpose. NANO SD can store tons of data in short intervals, where the internal Davis console logger falls short.

released February 11, 2023

Meteobridge NANO: fixes a bug that option for high power WiFi mode on "Network" tab disappeared for newer NANO generations.

released August 20, 2022:

some internal rework, like adaption of startup scripts.

released August 14/15, 2022:

fixes a bug when having leaf/soil sensors connected to WLL that do not report temperature. Sensors have then been ignored so far. Now in that case a false temperature of 0°C is reported in order to have the TH sensor type fully equipped with data. Sensor ID mapping of a second or third leaf/soil unit will also change, but I guess that this will hardly be used by anyone.
adds more logical sensors to assign physical sensors to. This is needed for sending data of complex sensor arrays to Meteoplug Cloud service, as only logical sensors can be handled by Meteoplug Cloud service.

released August 11, 2022:

internal technical streamlining to keep the build trees for the multiple platforms in sync. Unfortunately, this has the risk to break something, but there was no way around. Keep fingers crossed.

fixes a newly introduced bug where time frame settings in chart definitions are stuck to individual definitions.

released May 1, 2022:

Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: adds more flexibility to automated chart generation. Beside pre-defined time frames there is an option "user defined" added, that allows to define the start and stop time freely. Definition is done relative to the point in time when the event gets triggered. Syntax is the same as when calling a chart generation via URL parameters. Start and stop times are specified like "Yn" (year), "Mn" (month), "Wn" (week), "Dn" (day), "Hn" (hour), where the first letter indicates the time scale (year, month, week, day, hour) and the consecutive number indicates how many steps to go into the past. Example: "from:H6 to:H0" indicates a period from 6 hours in the past (H6) to the current hour (H0). Time resolution can also be specified from minutes to months. There are no plausibility checks, so you are responsible not to select too large data volumes or invalid time period definitions.

released April 30, 2022:

adds template date variables "mmm" and "ddd" which report day as English abbreviation for month or day of week in lower case letters, like "jan", feb", "sun", "mon", etc.

adds support for a wide range of newer Fine Offset / Ecowitt consoles that do not provide a local API but allow to upload data to a custom server. When the URL "http://ip-of-your-meteobridge/public/ecowitt0.cgi" is specified in the console, Meteobridge receives data from the station and can work with that. To allow multiple consoles to feed data to Meteobridge the endpoint of above URL includes the station number. When it is the primary station of Meteobridge "ecowitt0.cgi" has to be used, when it is the first additional station of Meteobridge, then "ecowitt1.cgi" is the correct endpoint, and so on. The URL to use in your specific setup is display in the "Connection" section of your station definition.
freshly supported stations are: Ecowitt HP2551, HP3500, WH2910, WH2320; Froggit HP1000, WH3000, WH4000; Ambient WS2000, WS5000, WS2902

Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: changes link names from "export#nn" and "chart#nn" to "export_nn" and "chart_nn" to avoid potential special character issues on URLs.

released January 9, 2022:

Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: generates a symbolic symlink on export and chart events that references to the number of the event that generated the file. Example: when event #3 generates an export file, then the link "export#3.txt" will show up in export folder and points to the generated file. These links can be used for FTP uploads to address the result of a certain export event. The same applies to charts, where links like "chart#2.html" will be added if event #2 generates a chart. The previously introduced links "lastchart.htlm" and "lastexport.txt" will remain operational to address the very last generated chart or export file.

Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: fixes a bug when importing Meteohub raw data that contains negative dewpoint temperatures.

released August 15, 2021:

changes the way lightning data is handled with GW1000 stations. Formerly data was only stored in case of a strike event. As GW1000 community keeps complaining about that, lightning data is now always available and redundantly stored every minute, even in case of no strike event. Date/time of the last change in striking counts can be accessed as "lgtXtotal-nonzerotime". That time stamp should correspond reasonable good with the strike event date/time of the GW1000 itself. I hope this makes data more easy to use in follow-on processes. As I don't have these types of sensors, testing relies to the lightning obsessed fraction of the GW1000 install base.
fixes a bug when using GW1000 with WH57 lighting detection sensor only.
fixes a formerly introduced bug that WLIP wait times are not taken into consideration.

released August 14, 2021:

fixes reading of leak sensor values for GW1000 station.

released August 8, 2021:

Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: chnages the was charts and exports are generated when cumulated values for day, month, year are used. Formerly, the data was propagated even into the future. Now data beyound the current point of time is mapped out.

released August 7, 2021:

reintroduces the "reset sensor binding" checkbox for stations GW1000, WeatherFlow, AcuLink in the "Connection" row. Setting a mark into this box and pressing "save" will reset the binding of so far found sensors to Meteobridge sensors. This is very useful, when you replace a sensor and want to get rid of the old Meteobridge bindings that do not point to an existing sensor any more.

released July 27, 2021: Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: fixes a minor bug when graphing or exporting cumulated data (like rainfall) in periods without sensor readings. Formerly this was set to zero instead of being omitted.

released July 23, 2021:

adds support for uRADMonitor sensors (link). You only need to specify IP of the device in your LAN/WLAN to read out data locally. Grabbing data from the uRADMonitor cloud service is not supported. Supported sensor types are:
- indoor/outdoor temperature/humidity/pressure as thb0/th0
- air quality readings PM10/PM2.5/PM1.0 as air0/air1/air2

released July 15, 2021:

Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: supports user-defined export of data in freely defined timeframes and resolution on "History - Import/Export" tab. Start and end time are specified in "YYYYMMDDhhmm" notion, where "202107101300" specifies 13:00 on July 10, 2021.
Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: supports the new time resolutions also for self-defined metacharts.

released July 13/14, 2021:

Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: adds time resolutions of "5 Minutes", "10 Minutes", "15 Minutes", "20 Minutes" and "30 Minutes" to the selection when doing graphs or exports. These time resolutions need the data to be stored on per-minute schedule. Data is not stored in the database in these aggregations but computed when doing the export or chart generation. As this needed some changes deep inside the data extraction code, there might be some new bugs introduced. If you experience unexpected behaviour, please comment in the forum.
Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: fixes a bug that prevented mapping of "heatindex" sensors.

Version 5.1

released July 11, 2021:

Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: restructures database maintenance section on "System - Administration" tab a bit to more clearly separate backup and restore functions. Restore of database now also allows deletion of existing database first to avoid out-of-memory situations when restoring a larger database. Please only use this option when told that there is not enough free storage and please do a backup of the old database first.

released July 8, 2021:

allows to move a Meteobridge license from one device to another one. Meteobridge PRO and NANO are excepted as it is dedicated hardware which come with fixed licenses that cannot be transferred. All other Meteobridge devices can migrate their license to another non-licensed Meteobridge. In order to have this working as a self service, the donating and receiving Meteobridge need to be in the same LAN/WLAN. It might be necessary to restart both in order to make them visible to each other. Transfer is done on "License" tab of the license donating Meteobridge by simply selecting the unlicensed target device from a dropdown and to press "Migrate license now" button. Result will be displayed in the header when GUI builds up again. To have changes applied both units need to be restarted afterwards. I hope this self service will reduce e-mail requests to us to do license migrations. If the self service does not do, you are required to contact "info(at)smartbedded.com" to have it done manually by us.

released June 28, 2021:

Meteobridge PRO, RPI: allows to rebuild a crashed database by making use of a connected USB stick as temporary storage. Rebuild can be selected on "System - Administration" tab and is done on next reboot. Operation can last several hours depending on your platform and amount of data.

released May 2/3, 2021:

adapts sending of hourly rain data to "Weather365" network to send data of last hour within first 5 mins of current hour. This is needed as "weather365" is not able to compute hourly rain data from difference in total rain by themselves but relies on sending redundant information in an out of sync timeframe. This makes the "weather365" API the most inconsistent to deal with I have seen so far, but your milage may vary.
adapts sending of daily rain data to "Weather365" network same way as done with hourly data. Not sure which kind of inconsitencies will additionally show up. I would recommend to use this network with some caution regarding meaning and correctness of data.

NANO SD: fixes some bugs regarding import features.

released October 2, 2020

adds a "set date" button on "Edit Data" tab to define date selected here being default date for operations on tab "Import / Export".
import feature has been reworked. Support of compressed files (.zip and .gz) has been stripped to allow import of very large files by cutting those internally into chunks. When import gets started it is done in chunks of 240 secs, then pausing 2 minutes to allow the database to work on the regular requests. This is repeated until the import file is handled completely. Progress can be inspected in "Logging" section of "System" tab. As import of massive files takes rather long this is a major improvement as a) regular Meteobridge operation is not paused during import time and b) large files are handled in the background, no need to cut into smaller chunks and to import those one by one.
some rather fundamental changes in the sensor naming concept. Supporting multiple stations makes a change in the sensor naming schema necessary. From now on there will be two distinct views onto a given sensor.
- physical sensor: A physical sensor does include all the details that is exactly determining a sensor. This includes station number, sensor type, sensor number, measurement category. Example: "thb1!0temp" is a combined thermo-hum-baro sensor (type: "thb") from station #1 (station: "1") with sensor ID 0 (number: "0") and measurement category "temp". Physical sensor names are best suited to exactly address a certain sensor.
- logical sensor: A logical sensor abstracts from some details of a physical sensor. It does not carry a station ID, but represents a special meaning. For example "th0temp" and "th0hum" represent the classical outdoor temp-hum sensor, which delivers the temperature/humidity information to be broadcasted to weather networks or used in graphs or your exports. Meteobridge defines a set of logical sensors with a special meaning as you can see in the picture on the right. These logical sensors are mapped to the corresponding sensors of station #0 by default.
- Mapping of logical sensors to physical sensors allows you to adapt Meteobridge weather network support and graphing to your specific setup of stations and sensors. When you have an extra temp-hum sensor with ID #1 on station #1 and want to use this for outside temp/hum reporting instead of the one delivered with the primary station, you can simply map "th1!1temp" to "th0temp" and "th1!1hum" to "th0hum" and "th1!1dew" to "th0dew". In case you have a good source for wind chill temperature on temp-hum extra sensor #5 on station #1, you might also map "th1!5temp" to "wind0chill". As you see, this mapping feature is extremely powerful. It allows to adapt predefined weather services in Meteobridge (which are using logical sensors) to your specific station and sensor setup. In the picture on the right you see the new "Mapping" tab in the "Station" section of Meteobridge. This tab reflects the mapping mentioned before. "Mapping" tab replaces former definition of primary sensors on "Min/Max Data" tab, which is now a tab for data inspection purposes only, without interaction. Green sensors are the ones with predefined meaning by default, yellow sensors indicate that these have been mapped individually, white sensors are not attached to a logical sensor and can only be addressed as physical sensors. When moving the mouse over a sensor you get the mapping (if any) displayed as a balloon text.
updates Italian language pack
introduces an new sub page "mapping" that allows for mapping of physical sensors "th1!0temp" to logical sensors like "th0temp". This mapping page replaces former definition on primary sensors on "Min/Max Data" tab, which is now a tab for data inspection purposes only, without interaction. Green sensors are the ones with predefined meaning, yellow sensors indicate that these have been mapped individually.

released September 26, 2020

adds a feature to avoid restarting of data logger when a certain station does not provide new data in the time frame defined by "data hold" parameter. This feature can be switched on/off for each particular station.

released September 19/20, 2020

adds support for ObserverIP's new firmware that reports air quality for indoor (air0pm) and outdoor (air1pm) sensors.
fixes a bug that applies calibration of a specific sensor to all identical named sensors of additional stations (thb0temp, thb1!0temp, thb2!0temp, ...).
fixes some bugs regarding user-defined plugins.
fixes a bug when defining calibration factor or offset of sensors from additional (non-primary) weather stations.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: supports sensors from non-primary weather stations in exports and charts. Sensor number is replaced by station number an exclamation mark followed by the sensor number. Example "th1!1temp" addresses sensor "th1temp" from station 1. Sensors from primary station (station 0) do not need the station prefix "0!". Therefore, "th0!0temp" is identical to "th0temp". That way you don't have to change your existing chart, export and template definitions.
Meteobridge NANO & NANO SD: adds option to use user-defined plugins.
Meteobridge NANO SD: adds a new second row tab "Weather Dashboard" which allows you to have a look at your current data in the famous Weather34 style. On the tab you can select if data should be transferred into this dashboard. When you launch the dashboard it will come up in a separate window (your browser needs to allow Meteobridge to open a window). The dashboard can also be reached from the Internet, if you enabled Meteobridge remote login. Dashboard does not provide charts. You can add your WU API key to include weather forecasts from WU. Please don't forget to set time zone and UTC difference on the dashboard configuration page. Many thanks to Brian for developing this fantastic looking dashboard.

released September 16/17, 2020

adds a "quick navigation" feature that allows a direct jump onto the tabs of the second row. When mouse moves over the tab name, a list with accessible sub-tabs is popping up so that the desired sub-tab can be directly selected. This is a short cut for first selecting a tab from the first row, waiting until the page has built up and then selecting the sub-tab where you want to go.
fixes shortly broken support for "OberserverIP" stations.
fixes a bug when using non-metric units for sensor calibration on tab "Weather Station" -> "Settings".

released September 13/14/15, 2020

fixes not being able to make initial use of IP given for Observerip or GW1000 stations.
fixes number of supported language translation entires to 2000 instead of 1200.
fixes bug not supporting "via Console" RF reveiving option on Metebridge PRO red or Meteostick equipped Meteobridges.

released September 12, 2020

adds experimental support for new Ecowitt WH45 sensor (temp, hum, air quality and CO2).
silently reestablish tcpip connection drops (caused by the weather station) without doing a complete disconnect/connect station cycle.
Design of "Weather Station" tab has changed significantly in order to allow definition of multiple weather stations. Station is picked from a drop-down selection from the list of supported models. Then type of connection (USB, TCPIP, etc) is choosen and finally additional information like serial device or IP address is specified. Meteobridge takes care that only models that can be connected to your specific Meteobridge platform are presented. Beside the primary weather station a maximum of 4 additional stations can be connected to and evaluated by Meteobridge. This works even on the least powerful platforms like MR3020v1. The gallery below shows a Meteobridge MR3020v1 connected to five different weather station models in parallel.

Meteostick
Ecowitt GW1000
Davis WLL
User-Defined Plugin
Weather Flow
Live data from 5 stations

Template variables are modified to handle multi-station situations. Sensors of the primary station can be addressed as before like "th0temp". "th0temp" sensor of first additional station can be addressed as "th1!0temp". The "1!" prefix indicates additional station #1, "2!" prefix denotes additional station #2 and so on. As before you define which sensors are used as primary sensors used for reporting to weather networks (on tab "Live Data" -> "Data Min/Max"). Their names are displayed in green. You can change that be clicking on one of the yellow sensors and stating that this one should be used as a primary sensor. Definition of primary sensors has not changed, you just have more options when using multiple stations.
adds support for user-defined plugins that can feed data from not natively supported weather stations to Meteobridge. This is done in terms of a simple, user-defined shell script that posts data to /dev/stdout in an endless loop. Format of data to be provided can be derived from the attached example script "simulstation.plugin" that provides random data for sensors thb0, th0, t0, rain0, wind0, uv0, sol0, data0. Plugin files need to have extension ".plugin" and can be located in "scripts" folder (only on PRO and NANOSD platforms) or can be loaded from an URL (on all Meteobridge platforms).

updates on Dutch language file, thanks to Gerhard (https://weeropdeveluwe.nl)
updates maximum length of HTTP calls on "Services" tab to 8192 instead of 4096 bytes.

released August 18, 2020

replaces the old mechanism to calibrate some sensors groups (wind0/rain0/th0/etc.) by a more general approach that allows for calibrating any sensor you like. "Station" tab has a sub tab "Settings" where you can define calibration. Calibration is done in terms of an offset and a factor. Although Meteobridge computes internally with metric units, you can apply calibrations in imperial units, if you like. It will be recalculated internally. The used calculation formular is displayed for you to understand how it works. Settings defined previously should be automatically converted into the new format.

released August 17, 2020

fixes a bug in regard to moisture updates via new AWEKAS upload format.
some minor improvements on "2 row tab" GUI.

released August 16, 2020

introduces a new navigation schema for Meteobridge admin web interface. As the content on some tabs has grown over the past the pages were getting longer and longer so that a lot of scrolling was needed. We now changed to a 2-row tab approach, where the content of a tab is divided into "sub tabs" where appropriate. This should make navigation more convenient and also gives room for more features in the future. Color schema is not the best in the world, but I think it is not too much pain in the eyes. Please do a "shift reload" with your browser to empty its cache on CCS and background GIFs. When you face any quirks regarding the new GUI, please report in the forum.

released February 9/10, 2020:

fixes a newly introduced bug around unit conversions in templates.

released February 8, 2020

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: allows period parameter of "export.cgi" script to specify a range. Example: "period=20191201-20200115" specifies range from Dec 1, 2019 until Jan 15, 2020 (end date is excluded so it is effectively until 23:59 Jan 14, 2020).

released February 1, 2020

expands conversion options of template variables by a generic factor/offset model. Example: "[th0temp-act=f0,5+3,5:-]" returns the current outdoor temperate in degrees Fahrenheit but multiplies the result with 0.5 (factor) and adds 3.5 (offset) to it. If factor or offset contain decimals, these need to be written with a comma "," instead of the dot "." because the dot has a special meaning when used with template variables. Factors and offsets can also be applied to export and chart definitions.

released January 30, 2020

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: "export.cgi" script can now handle url encoded parameters.

released January 23, 2020

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: allows to feed "export.cgi" function with a template string instead of a pre-defined template file. Please keep in mind that these templates are used for mass data export from the database and they are not providing the conversion features known from the regular templates. Example: export.cgi?period=202001&resolution=day&template=[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD],[epoch],[th0temp-avg.1:],[th0temp-min.1:],[th0temp-max.1:],[th0hum-avg.0:] returns the data on the right.

released January 19, 2020

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: makes data export function available from the web interface by calling "http://ip-of-your-meteobridge/cgi-bin/export.cgi?period=202001&resolution=hour&template=standard-iso.exp". This reports content of the database according to the template definition "standard-iso.exp" (from template folder) for the month January 2020 in hourly resolution.

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug where addressing data back into last year with "@Mx" selector points into the void.
adds new sensor "wind0maxdir" that reports wind direction of maximum gust in the requested time frame. Example: [wind0maxdir-dmax:-] reports wind direction of todays maximum gust. [wind0maxdir-dmax=endir:-] does the same but reports as a text like "NWN" instead of degrees north. New "wind0maxdir" data starts being collected from installation of this version on, so it will not work back into the past.

released January 2, 2020

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds a service that generates HTML and text files based on a template file or a directly specified template description. Resulting file is stored in the "html" folder on the PC network share of the Meteobridge.

reduces upload buffer size for Meteoplug Cloud network on systems with 32 MB RAM only. This is to avoid stalls/reboots on MR3020, MR3040, WR703N because of too low available RAM when buffers have filled up over time.

released October 6, 2019

adds support for a new personal weather data upload service named "WL Cloud". This feature is only available for Meteobridges connected to a Davis data logger (Console or Envoy, not Envoy8x). It directly uploads data from the logger (not data from the Meteobridge) to an URL of your liking. Data consists of LOOP, HILOWS and DMPAFT data sets as provided from the Davis logger. Upload format is similar (and might be compatible) to what Davis uses to feed their weatherlink network. To have your web server ready for receiving the data, please use this perl code, which stores uploaded packet content on your server in separate files for further processing. Code is very simple and provides some comments to understand what kind of data is stored in the files. Feel free to use this code and change/distribute as you like.

fixes below mentioned issue for Meteobridge on TL-MR3040 platform.

released August 31, 2019

fixed an issue where TL-WR703N systems do not load complete application stack of version 4.1. This has been caused by a tmpfs overflow because of downloading new openssl libs in order to allow HTTPS traffic to websites supporting TLS only (no SSL).

released August 28, 2019

"template.cgi" endpoint does not return HTTP error codes 503 and 504 if template cannot be evaluated for any reason. This makes it more easy for a reading processes to react correctly.

released August 27, 2019

fixes a twitter openssl issue introduced with the previous release.

released August 25/26, 2019

updates openssl and wget support on MR3020 and Meteobridge PRO platform to handle HTTPS targets that do no longer support SSL (but only TLS) due to security concerns. Previous error message "OpenSSL: Error ... reason(1040)" should be resolved by this.

released August 19/20, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds the concept of meta charts to the graphing engine. Meta charts can easily be build by users and by that allow for easy creation of individual charts. Please read here about more details: https://www.meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/PRO_Graphs#Meta_Chart_Definition

released August 16, 2019

when computing sunrise, sunset and daylength data the current day is determined by using local time instead of UTC.
adds "daysum", "monthsum" and "yearsum" as selectors for template variables in export definitions. This allows for example to sum up daily rain in an export file that has rows in an hourly resolution.

released August 15, 2019

changes automated payment method from "PayPal" to "MyCommerce". This gives you more flexibility on payment options. When transaction is done, you get a license key to be manually entered on "License" tab and saved. Having done that, Meteobridge needs to be restarted to come up licensed. Update licenses to purchase additional 2 years of SW updates are handled the same way.

Version 4.0

released August 11/14/15, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug on wind speed import from WSWIN export files.

released August 4, 2019

Meteobridge is now available for the TP-Link WR902AC Version 3.x router. Preparing_Hardware#Flashing_Meteobridge_Firmware_to_TL-WR902AC_(version_3.x) section explains how to make a Meteobridge out of the WR902ACv3 standard router. Meteobridge supports the 2.4 GHz WLAN but not the 5 GHz mode. Flashing needs to be done by a TFTP server (as with MR3020 Version 3.x). Currently, there is no VM available that has the necessary TFTP service enabled, so you will have to set this up on your PC on your own.

released July 27, 2019

fixes a bug when uploading data to "Wetterring" network, where max pressure of the month has been falsely reported as max pressure of the day.
adds support for more sensors on the discontinued Accurite smart hub.

released July 22, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds a generic import function called "direct" to support easy import of natively not supported data formats. All the other supported import formats are internally converted to this format and then imported. A section on import formats has been added to the wiki: PRO_Tutorial#Data_Import

released May 10, 2019

adds rain bucket resolution option to Davis Weather Link Live station.
changes wind direction reported to network "windy.com" to 2 minutes average instead of current direction.

released May 5, 2019

adds experimental support for Davis Weather Link Live device. This is still very experimental, intended to find bugs with the help of Meteobridge users. No way ready for production. We still need a leaf/soil station connected to a WLL to read out and understand the data format for that particular sensor type.

Version 3.9

released May 5, 2019

version 3.9 finalized.

released April 28, 2019

adds support for new weather station gateway GW1000 from Fine Offset. GW1000 collects data from up to 8 WH31 sensors (temp/hygro with display), 16 WH51 sensors (soil temp and moisture with sensor cable and display), a WS68 sensor unit delivering outdoor temp/hum, wind and uv/solar data, a Wh40 rain counter, and finally a WH41 air quality meter. The GW1000 gateway connects via WiFi to your LAN and provides data to the Meteobridge, when Meteobridge is told the IP of the GW1000. Apart from the standard set the GW1000 supports soil sensors and an air quality sensor. Implementation has been tested with quite a few sensors in the meanwhile. Please report bugs in the corresponding thread in the forum.

released April 22, 2019

Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug that prevented some Meteobridge PRO to install latest scripts and support files.

released April 20, 2019

fixes the pressure bug when sending data to windy.
Meteobridge NANO: adds TX power boost mode for the new batch of NANOs (left picture, with a red strap instead of a black strap). This option makes use of the better RF power emission of the new batch of VoCore2 modules. Please be aware that this mode draws so much power that the console needs support by additional batteries or (better) a more juicy power supply (minimum 500 mA). The standard 300 mA power supply of the Davis console cannot feed this mode, voltage will plump on WiFi operation and make the NANO reboot. Please use this mode only, when you experience WiFi reach problems. If your WiFi operation is fine, don't mess with this mode. Black strap NANOs don't have this option.

released April 18, 2019

adds weather network windy.com. It needs an API key that users can generate once they have registered an account.

released April 15, 2019

more changes on OpenWeatherMap support. Meteobridge does now check for a station already being registered at the provided API key. If not, Meteobridge will register a station. If there is already a station registered the first one from the list (in case there are multiple stations registered) will be used by Meteobridge for uploading. This is still experimental, but please give it a try. Deleting the stations Meteobridge might have registered before is a good step to start with. OpenWeatherMap API documentation explains how to delete stations via HTTP requests. I am still disappointed that OpenWeatherMap does not provide features to setup/maintain/delete stations within their web interface, which is clearly the right way to go.

released April 14, 2019

fixes a repetitive registration of station at openweathermap. Station registration is now only done one time.

released April 13, 2019

Meteobridge NANO SD: fixes missing ".wswin.exp" file that is needed for continous WSWIN data exports.

NANO SD: fixes backup script.

released March 24, 2019

adds support for agriculture weather network Caburé in Argentina.
adds periodical triggers for "every two days" and "weekly".
fixes template variable "mbsystem-station" to report name of selected station type.
NANO SD: fixes newly introduced bug which inhibits backup script execution.
switches support for OpenWeatherMap to their new API 3.0. This was necessary because upload using legacy API is no longer available for new users. Using API 3.0 needs you to enter the APP ID you are granted by OpenWeatherNet when setting up your account. When you enter APP ID and station name and press "save" a station ID will be automatically assigned at OpenWeatherMap. Support for this rather complicated and complicated to use weather network is still experimental.

released March 17, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug that can make Meteobridge reboot when doing a database backup.
adds experimental support for Davis LOOP2 packet evaluation when Meteobridge is in "slave" mode. In "slave" mode a PC connects to the Meteobridge on port 22222 and takes over control by directly accessing the Davis console and taking over control.
adds Davis forecast texts in Spanish. Corresponding template variable is "texteshtml".

released March 13, 2019

improves handling of semaphores in "template.cgi" script which can be used for polling weather data from the Meteobridge as HTTP replies. This should solve situations where the script did no longer report data when being interrupted once.

released March 11, 2019

fixes a bug that limits AWEKAS uploads not to be less often than every 5 minutes when using fastlink option.

released March 2, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: allows to feed alien data (as "data21num") into Meteobridge by providing an executeable shell script as /root/datafeed that returns "data21 xxx", where xxx is an integer number which will be divided by 100 when used by Meteobridge. Example: File "/root/datafeed" is defined as follows and presents value "100.00" on the live data display for sensor "data21num":

#!/bin/sh
#
echo "data21 10000"
exit 0

released January 17, 2019

fixes a bug for outdoor temp sensors for some Davis Vantage2 units when using Meteobridge PRO or Meteostick for data reception.

released January 13, 2019

adds support for weather network meteoclimatic. Data is uploaded to the Meteobridge server and meteoclimatic data collector needs to be told the URL where to pick the data from. URL is individual and provided as "Data Link" on Meteobridge "Weather Network" tab. Green marks just indicate that the Meteobridge server did store the data, it does not show if meteoclimatic has grabbed data from there. This loose coupling is one of the disadvantages of the "drop and forget" data upload schema, you don't get feedback if data has finally reached its destination.

released January 6, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds export template "wswin-monthly" to generate monthly data exports for WSWIN (just on hourly level).

released January 5, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds a weather network entry "WSWIN Data Feed" that allows to build "import.csv" files in network folder "export". WSWIN can be pointed to this file to read data ongoing in per minute resolution from the Meteobridge. Interval to build this file can be between every 5 minutes up to every hour. Please keep in mind that doing short intervals will add to the wear of your USB or SD-card storage in the Meteobridge.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds option "pragma exportfile=xyz" to be used within export templates. Using this option will store export data with filename "xyz" in export folder instead using template name and selected time frame and resolution as file name.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds option "pragma append=y" to be used in order to add more line to an already existing file without repeating the header lines. Using this option is helpful to incrementally add data to an export file.
adds soil temperature and soil moisture values of a Davis Vantage to be reported to ambientweather network.

released January 2, 2019

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds option "pragma crlf=y" to be used within export templates. Using this option will result into an export file with Windows style terminated lines (CR+LF) instead of just LF.
stabilizes initialization sequence of Davis Vantage consoles by optimized timing.

Version 3.8

released December 23, 2018

WL330NG3: fixes a bug in the application stack the prevents systems to start after reboot
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds "Meteotemplate" and "Cumulus Monthly Reports" as import format. Please realize that support of all that new data import functions is still beta, as I don't have excessive data to test with.

released December 22, 2018

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds data import function on "Hirstory tab. In a first step import of Meteohub raw data files and Meteoplug monthly export files are supported. Files can be zipped (".zip") or gnuzipped (".gz") or plain text. Files need to be copied into "import" folder on PC network share provided by Meteobridge. There is an option to skip malformed records or to halt import. Meteohub and Meteoplug provide up to 4 million raw data records per months, so this can take half an hour (NANO SD) or an hour (PRO) to import. While import is running, new logged data is queued and stored into database when import is done. Feeding of weather networks is halted during the import.

released December 20, 2018

adds support for ELV RS350 room climate logger, which provides 5 indoor sensors only (neither wind, pressure nor rain data).
directs link to weather cam inside HomeWeatherStation Dashboard to the Meteobridge Camera Service, which uploads your local weather camera pictures to the Meteobridge server in the Internet. You first have to enable this service on "Weather Net" tab.
adds support for IP connected Lufft WS10 stations.
Meteobridge on TL-MR3020v3: adds a feature that allows to act as a TFTP server to flash more TL-MR3020v3 devices into Meteobridges. All needed is to browse to "http://ip-of-your-meteobridge/cgi-bin/clone.cgi" and to follow instructions. This does not help you to flash the first TL-MR3020v3 but allows you to more easily replicate once you have one running.

released December 9, 2018

Meteobridge PRO & NANO: improves tests for WiFi connection issues and rebuilding WiFi connection if needed.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: shows data overview graphs on "History" tab in imperial units, when "imperial" flag is marked.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: improves handling of "lastchart.html" pointer, which now can handle generation and FTP upload of multiple charts at same point in time (as long as FTP uploads are directly triggered by a chart generation event).
fixes bug that limits firmware updates for Meteostick to version 2.5.1 instead of using newest version 2.5.2
adds support for Meteostick firmware updates to TL-MR3020v3 platform.

released December 5, 2018

adds converter "epoch" to modify time stamps. It returns the Linux epoch time equivalent of the time stamp (seconds since Jan 1, 1970).
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds variant of allinone chart template that also displays a soil temperature (sensor "th1" is used). New chart is named "allinonesoil" and comes in ISO and IMP flavour.

released December 4, 2018

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a yesterday introduced bug on data export function and fixes operation of "emptylines=n/y" pragma operation.

released December 3, 2018

Meteobridge PRO and NANO: changes code to potentially improve WLAN long-term stability.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: when calling a chart, URL parameter "sensormap" allows to use alternative sensors instead of the ones programmed in the chart definition. Assume a chart shows data for "thb0" and "th0" then adding "&sensormap=th1,thb9" to the chart URL will make the chart to show data for "th1" instead of "th0" and data for "thb9" instead of "thb0". This is an easy work-around to avoid definition of duplicated charts for various sensors of the same kind.
Meteobridge NANO: changes reboot handling slightly.

released December 1, 2018

Meteobridge NANO: supports special character "$" in WiFi passphrase.
Meteobridge NANO SD: fixes dashboard graph for yearly wind speeds.

released November 24, 2018

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds NOAA-style templates for data export (ISO and imperial units) for yearly reports (one line for each month).

released November 21, 2018

Meteobridge NANO SD: We did a port of Brian's famous HomeWeatherStation template to run on the NANO SD. To have this activated it just needs you to select "Local Dashboard" on "Weather Network" tab and then to give it an upload interval. In order to have current conditions and forecast information on the dashboard, you need to signup to DarkSky an CheckWX services, both free of charge for private use. The HomeWeatherStation dashboard receives historical data from the NANO SD database and makes use of the Meteobridge charting engine powered by the amcharts JavaScript package. Dashboard can be used locally in your LAN but also from the Internet by a remote link. To access the dashboard no credentials of the Meteobridge admin web interface are needed. Dashboard also adapts to mobile devices. This is the first time we offer a powerful dashboard, locally hosted on a Meteobridge without any need for setting up a web server. We hope you enjoy this feature and I have to say a big thanks to Brian, who was so generous to allow me to bundle his template with the Meteobridge software in order to make it most easy for you to use. In case of technical interest you can download my adaption of HomeWeatherStation template from here. Let us realize for a moment that all this is provided by a stamp-sized module in the back of a Davis console! Future is now ;-)

released November 17, 2018

Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug where "max1" and similar template selectors return no data, but being data available.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: makes non iterating part of an export template (the lines that start with "$") subject to general template variable replacements. This allows to add summary information about a month to an export that in principle just iterates all the days of the month. This is a new fundamental features to generate summary reports.
Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds NOAA like monthly reports a templates for data export. Both styles, ISO and IMP are available ("NOAA-monthly-iso" and "NOAA-monthly-imp"). These template allow to automatically generate a monthly weather data file in NOAA style file which can then be sent via email to an interested user or uploaded via FTP to a server.
Meteobridge NANO SD: initializes SMB user "meteobridge" with password "meteobridge" on first start.
fixes a shortly introduced bug that prevent rebooting the Meteobridge from the web interface. You do so by browsing to "http://ip-of-your-meteobridge/cgi-bin/system.cgi?reboot" or when accessing from the Internet by "https://admin.meteobridge.com/...../cgi-bin/system.cgi?reboot".

fixing a bug on station page when selecting Davis stations. The bug did show config dialog of transmitters even when this section was not marked.
refactoring of some code sections, hopefully without introduction of new bugs.
reflects migration of "WeatherForYou" to "PWS Weather". Uploads stay as they are, it just a renaming on the web interface.

released August 31, 2018

adds reporting of low battery status of indoor and outdoor sensor to ambient weather network.

released August 29, 2018

adapts to forced HTTPS data uploads PreviMeteo decided to use for the upload URL shortly.

released August 27, 2018

fixes a freshly introduced bug that prevents web cam pictures to be uploaded to the Meteobridge server.

released August 26, 2018

adds feature to transfer rain totals for day, month, year from Davis Vantage/Vue console to Meteobridge. Not supported on Meteobridge PRO.
adds feature to transfer min/max data of some sensors from Davis Vantage/Vue console to Meteobridge. This is recommended for initial setup only as it might result into inconsistencies (thb0seapress data is provided, but no thb0press data) and it will also erase date/time stamps for those sensors as the console does not provide date/time stamps for all min/max values). Not supported on Meteobridge PRO.
Meteobridge NANO: adds a feature to compensate for heating-up the console a bit by the NANO plug-in. This results into higher indoor temp readings as they actual are. An offset to compensate for that can be specified in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Recommended value is -6° Fahrenheit.

released August 25, 2018

adds support for HTTPS URLs for grabbing web cam pictures.

New Meteobridge_NANO is now available! You find list of resellers here. It is mainly a full Meteobridge shrunk to stamp size and serving as a plug-in for Davis Vantage/Vue consoles. It can't be easier to bring a Davis station into the Internet with all the features a Meteobridge has to offer.

released August 24, 2018

improves handling of min/max time stamps. In case sensor is not there a request for the timestamp of a min/max event does now correctly default to the replacement string.
Meteobridge PRO: adds "[sun0total-daysum.2:0.0]" to realtime.txt template in order to support 3rd party sunshine sensors for Davis Vantage.

released August 17, 2018

some changes in handling data coming in over a TCP/IP socket connection. This should reduce logger disconnect/connect cycles when being connected with a Davis WLIP device.
skips an demanded updating of Davis console time/date when difference is less than 60 seconds. This helps to reduce write cycles on flash storage in Davis console.

released August 15, 2018

fixes a bug that Davis console initialization remains incomplete when all setup options are selected.
adds a feature to set logging interval of the Davis data logger. This interval is meaningless for Meteobridge operation (as Meteobridge does not rely on the Davis logger) but might be interesting, when a PC connects directly via port 22222 to the Davis logger.

released August 14, 2018

improves Davis console initialization code to better handle when console is in manual setup mode and does not respond to remote setup commands. In case of a failed remote setup this will be noticed in the "system messages" field.
adds information about usage of Davis repeaters and retransmit settings of Davis console in "system messages" field.

released August 12, 2018

support for AWEKAS fast link. When using an AWEKAS subscription-based "station web" service you can upload data in intervals down to every 30 seconds. All you need is to set the corresponding mark and to add your individual fastlink key to the AWEKAS credentials on your Meteobridge "weather network" tab.
adapts Davis Vantage forecast text regarding expected North directed wind shifts, which need to be directed to the South when station is located on the south globe.

released July 26, 2018

fixes a bug on platforms TL-MR3020v3 and TL-WR902AC that inhibited to make use of a bridged device on the Meteobridge LAN port by Meteobridge itself. Example: Meteobridge is connected via WiFi to your LAN and has a webcam directly connected to its LAN port. So far on TL-MR3020v3 and TL-WR902AC this webcam has been connected with the LAN fine (when bridge mode on Meteobridge is enabled on "Network" tab) but Meteobridge itself was not able to connect to it (while every other device in your LAN could). This bug is fixed now. Please note that only the mentioned new platforms have been impacted by that.

released July 20, 2018

switches over to a new latitude/longitude reference web page on "system" tab as the former one was restricted to certain countries in the course of GDPR.
fixes a newly introduced bug in the twitter services.

released July 8, 2018

adds a calibration factor for wind speed on "weather station" page. Please use this option with care and only when you are sure the factor does really apply. It is much better to reposition your anemometer or to live with lower wind readings when anemometer cannot be positioned better.

released July 6, 2018

gives more timeout tolerance for manually defined HTTP uploads at "Services" tab. This allows to better handle slow DNS resolution or weak Internet connections.

released July 1, 2018

adds mapping of sensors to transmitter IDs to the Davis configuration dialog. This dialog should now provide all settings needed to even configure an Envoy without the need to use the Davis PC program.

released June 27, 2018

released June 26, 2018

incorporates code for new Meteobridge NANO
fixes a bug that prevents to find out location data from the IP
adds support for Lufft Ventus V200A station
adds setup menu on "Weather Station" when Davis Vantage Pro2 or Vue is selected. This is extremely handy when you cannot reach the Davis console physically or if your have a Davis Envoy and don't want to use the Davis PC program to have those settings applied. Following settings can be done:
- date and time as received from the Internet
- longitude, latitude, timezone and altitude based on the settings specified within the Meteobridge
- rain collector size (also rain season start as defined by Meteobridge)
- wind cup size (for Vantage Pro2 only)
- display modes for console regarding time and date format

Version 3.6

released June 9, 2018

todays release of a new firmware version (1.3) for TP-Link MR3020 V3 ** WHICH NOW ALSO SUPPORTS WIFI ** gives Meteobridge a cheap, capable and world-wide available Meteobridge platform for years to come. Compared to the legacy MR3020 we have double the ROM/RAM and we don't no longer need any USB hubs in order to have a USB weather station connected. When you had a former Meteobridge firmware installed on MR3020 V3 we strongly recommend to upgrade to the new one. Doing so will need to have your license adapted. Please contact "info(at)meteobridge.com" by providing the MAC of your unit, we will swap the license to the newly flashed MR3020 V3. Please visit hardware section to understand how to flash a MR3020 V3 and where to find the firmware image.

released March 11, 2018

Meteobridge PRO: optimizes memory usage to better support large sensor array setups.
some minor additions to Dutch language support

released March 10, 2018

adds template variable expressions "[mbsystem-primarysensors:]" and "[mbsystem-noprimarysensors:]" to control inside a template if "0" sensors (like th0, wind0, rain0, etc) should be replaced by sensors defined on "Live Data" tab as primary or taken literally. The mentioned template expressions are evaluated to the empty string and thereby do nothing directly in your template but control how variables are evaluated as a side effect.
Centrally hosted upload template for "Hetweeractuel" has been updated to use primary sensors: http://templates.meteobridge.com/hetweeractueel.template

released March 4, 2018

fixes a factor 10 bug on solar radiation measurement for WH2308 / 4000 weather stations.

released March 3, 2018

adds new sensor type "lgt" for handling lightning events as provided by WeatherFlow AIR station. "lgt0dist" return distance in kilometers, "lgt0energy" the strength of the strike and "lgt0total" number of lightning strikes for a given time period. Template section of the wiki has also been updated accordingly.

released February 28, 2018

adds weather network "Meteoagro NET"

released February 24, 2018

adds full support for WeatherFlow AIR and SKY stations. Although these stations are part of your LAN/WLAN Meteobridge does not need to know their IP. This is a cool feature made possible by the station that sends data out as UDP broadcasts. Backside of this very convenient technique is, that the data cannot be routed and by that Meteobridge cannot connect to a WeatherFlow station outside the local LAN/WLAN.
adds a feature to address the sensors marked on "Live Data" tab as primary in template definitions. Please read details here...
Since version 3.6 Meteobridge also supports selection of a sensor which has been defined on "Live Data" tab as primary. When no primary selection has been made all the "0" sensors (like "th0temp", "wind0wind", etc) are primary by default. But when you select "th3temp" as primary sensor and by that its data is reported as your stations outdoor temperature to all the weather networks, then you can now also select the primary sensor in your template definitions by selecting it as the "*" sensor. For example: "th*temp" selects the sensors defined as the primary outdoor temp sensor. When you use "[th*temp-act:--]" you get the current temperature of your primary outdoor temp sensor. This will be a synonym to "[th0temp-act:--] as long as you have not selected another sensor as primary outdoor temp sensor. But when you have selected "th3temp" to be the primary outdoor temp sensor, then "th*temp" will reference to "th3temp" instead of "th0temp". Please be aware that Meteobridge versions before version 3.6 will fail to evaluate "*" sensors. Therefore, it is recommended to provide both notations in a template and to make use of the conditional evaluation as explained in a later chapter. Here is an example that takes "th0temp" as default outdoor sensor on older Meteobridge versions and newer "th*temp" notation on current ones: #if{*[mbsystem-swversion:1.0]>=3.6*}#then#outdoor temp: [th*temp-act:--]°C#else#outdoor temp: [th0temp-act:--]°C#fi#

released February 23, 2018

adds a "reset" button on "Live Data" tab which allows to reset manual sensor mapping.

released February 9, 2018

fixes a freshly introduced bug that inhibits template variable "mbsystem-ip" to be correctly evaluated.
fixes a SFTP upload problem.

released February 8, 2018

fixes a bug the inhibits Meteobridge to prepare list of "known SSIDs".

released February 6, 2018

Meteobridge PRO: improves handling of LEDs and display when doing a shut down.

released February 5, 2018

fixes a bug with TL-WR902AV that has prevented from using LAN bridging mode when connected via WiFi.
Meteobridge PRO: Adds feature to nest two levels of template variable replacement. Please read details how this works and what it can be good for here.

released February 3, 2018

fixes a bug on TL-WR902AC platform that has limited WiFi operation to 5 GHz only.
improves scan for existing WiFi by also showing RF band (2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz) in addition to SSID and signal strength.

released January 28, 2018

Support for version 3 hardware of the TL-MR3020 from TP-Link has been added. This support does come with two caveats:
- As we are lacking reliable working Open Source WiFi drivers for this new device, Meteobridge can currently offer LAN operation only. It remains unclear if/when this limit can be lifted.
- The stock firmware only accepts updates of TP-Link signed updates. By that the Meteobridge firmware cannot be flashed to the device by the web interface. To work around this you have to setup of a TFTP server on your PC that provides the Meteobridge firmware for flashing. Flashing itself is easy, but it needs you to setup the TFTP server first.
You find a description how to flash the MR3020v3 in the "Preparing Hardware" section and can have a look at the hardware details of this new platform in "hardware" section. First tests indicate that this version 3 of the MR3020 does no longer need a USB hub to connect to the weather stations, which is nice. As Meteobridge support for MR3020v3 is brand new, there will for sure still be some bugs. We are happy when you report those in the forum, so that we can get rid of them fast. As with all new ports, please be a bit patient if it takes a few days until an issue is solved.

released January 27, 2018

some minor bug fixes on the new Meteobridge release for TL-WR902AC platform.
fixes a bug with the firmware download links on "Preparing Hardware" page.
adds Turkish language option and improves Dutch language support.

released January 24, 2018

New hardware TL-WR902AC from TP-Link has been added to the list of supported devices. "Hardware" section and "Preparing Hardware" section are updated and explain how to flash these devices. The WR902 offers twice the RAM and Flash-ROM compared to MR3020, which makes developing SW for it a bit more relaxed. Feature-wise Meteobridge on this device is identical to all the other non-pro Meteobridge platforms. While WR902AC is able to operate on the 5 GHz band Meteobridge is currently only operating in the standard 2.4 GHz Band. This shouldn't be an issue as there are rarely any 5 GHz only WLANs and 2.4 GHz has anyway better RF reach and we don't really need top speed for Meteobridge operation. If the WR902AC also needs a USB hub to connect to USB 1.x weather stations is not known yet. It also has an Atheros chip, but it is another model and may be the drivers for this model do it right now... we 'll see. The port to WR902AC made switching from openwrt to lede on OS level necessary, so we had to setup a complete new compile chain. Therefore, the port might still have some bugs. If you discover some bugs, please report and please be a bit patient if fixing takes a few days. Currently the WR902AC is sold as hardware revision 1.x. You can see from the TP-Link pages that they are preparing to release a version 3 model, which seems to use different hardware. So take your chance to get a version 1 WR902AC which are widely available on world-wide level right now.

released January 11, 2018

fixes a newly invented serial console kernel driver issue for Davis USB loggers for WL-330N3G platforms.

released January 10, 2018

fixes an freshly introduced bug in regard to handling negative wind chill temperatures for WMR-300 station
reduces pointless writing of same sensor values into internal storage every few seconds for WMR-300 weather station. Now data in Meteobridge is only updated when sensor data has changed or 50 seconds have passed. By that storage consumption is reduced without compromising on tracking fast sensor data changes.
adds support for Oregon Scientific low budget weather station WMR-89. Support is still experimental, but we have been asked many times to support this station, which we now do :-)

released January 8, 2018

fixes some bugs in the WMR-300 low level driver, which made reporting of sensors unstable in certain situations.

released January 3, 2018

Meteobridge PRO: updates chart engine to latest version (3.21.12). This fixes a specific chart bug (shown in the picture on the right) that can show up when using the Chrome browser in combination with line charts.
Meteobridge PRO: Does show size and free space of backup media when initiating a backup. Messages section on "System" tab will provide this information.

released January 2, 2018

adds "MMM" template variable to report month as English three letter abbreviation ("Jan", "Feb", etc).
adds multiplier to template variable converter. For example: Converter "F10" reports temperature in degrees Fahrenheit multiplied by 10. That way template variables can report current outdoor temp in 1/10 of degrees Fahrenheit ("th0temp-act=F10") or daily rain fall in 1/100 inch ("rain0total-sumday=in100").
These features allow to generate CWOP/wxnow.txt (http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Wxnow.txt) data strings as follows:

Feb 01 2009 12:34
272/010g006t069r010p030P020h61b10150

Corresponding template definition looks like this:

New TP-Link MR3020 hardware (Version 3) not compatible with Meteobridge!
We got notice that TP-Link rolled out a new hardware version of the TL-MR3020. The new units cannot be flashed with Meteobridge firmware. You can identify these version 3 devices by the sticker on the packaging telling you that it is a version 3 model and by the new TP-Link logo and the "300Mbps" text on the front of the device. There is a posting in the forum that gives you even more details why these units cannot be used with Meteobridge right now.

released December 13, 2017

Meteobridge PRO: Allows a clean and save shut down by pressing the reset button (behind the pinhole) until vertical status bar has scrolled down completely and "Shut Down" appears on the display. Now button can be released. When red LED is turned off, system is powered down and can be unplugged from power without risk of data being damaged on the USB storage. It will need a power cycle to start again.
Meteobridge PRO: A "Shut Down" button has been placed next to the "Reboot" button on "System" tab. Pressing it gives you a warning that it will need physical access to the device to get it started again. Confirming that, the shutdown will happen.

released December 11, 2017

released December 4, 2017

fixes a bug that prevents from uploading data to weather network idokep.
allows to read data from webcams in PNG and JPG format (previously only JPG was allowed)

released December 3, 2017

adds internal temp and humidity readings to idokep weather network
reduces maximum RF sensitivity for Meteostick readings to -95db. More sensitive settings have turned out to be useless as they pickup too much RF noise to give a reliable reading of data.

released November 27, 2017

improves error reporting on failed HTTP requests

released November 26, 2017

fixes a bug that stalls the data logger when some weather network details left empty (like WU ID).

released November 19, 2017

fixes a red mark error on "weather network" tab when using Home Weather Station. Previous fix has not been effective in all situations.
renames Meteostick RF bandwidth options from "narrow / normal / wide" to "direct / via console". "direct" (which corresponds to formerly "narrow") has to be used when receiving data directly from the Davis sensors or from an external Davis repeater. When packets retransmitted from the Davis console should be read, option "via console" has to be used. This is identical to formerly used option "normal". Option "wide" has been dropped, as it has shown not to be useful in Davis RF context.
adds support for "webcam.io" service, which users might use as replacement for to be terminated "Weather Underground Camera" service. Just setup a FTP cam upload service within Meteobridge and give this as path:
```
ftp://user:password@ftp.webcam.io:21/mycam-[YYYY][MM][DD]-[hh][mm].jpg
```
Prerequisite is that you have setup a free test account at webcam.io as explained here: www.webcam.io

released November 16, 2017

fixes a sensor mapping error for th70 when using Davis sensors in combination with Meteobridge PRO or Meteostick.
fixes a red mark error on "weather network" tab when using Home Weather Station setup with "mb.php" script located in subfolder "mbridge".
Meteobridge PRO: improves handling of "database reconstruct" option by pausing data logging of sensor data just being reconstructed.

fixes a bug regarding ok/error mark for alarm events on "Live Data" tab.
better handles slow down issue of some observerip models and avoids wrong selection of measurement units.

released October 14, 2017

limits event history to 30 lines, but allows to show full history (up to 4000 bytes in total) when clicking onto upload status indicator. Event history will show-up in a new window.

released October 12, 2017

adds event history to each of the upload services listed in upper section of "Live Data" tab. When mouse is moved over the upload status indicator a list of last upload events is shown.

released October 11, 2017

does up to 3 retries on sending SMS. This handles spare situations where contact to SMS service does fail on first attempt caused by routing or Internet time out problems.
Meteobridge PRO: enhances "@YYYY" addressing schema to be used with template variables. When "YYYY" is not defining a valid year but is in the range of "0000" to "0010" then "0000" is interpreted as the current year, "0001" as the previous year and so on. In that situation the 4 digit number expresses how many years to skip into the past. These skips need to be in 4-digit style, leading zeros are not allowed to be omitted.
Meteobridge PRO: more robust execution of database repair tasks.
fixes bug in testing HTTPS connections on "Weather Networks" tab for services "Meteotemplate" and "Home Weather Station".
fixes a bug with Oregon WMR-300 station in regard how to handle wind chill computation when primary outdoor temp/hum sensor does not deliver data.

released September 30, 2017

fixes a bug that stalls SFTP uploads on DIR-505 platform

released September 29, 2017

adds SFTP upload option. This supports password protected SFTP upload only (no key based upload). SFTP upload services can be selected like FTP upload, parameters are the same. Implementation is still regarded beta. FTPS (aka FTP via TLS) is not supported. An option to test a SFTP connections is added at the bottom of the "services" tab.
more nicely adapts HTTP timeout settings to given send intervals. This means tighter timeouts are applied for rapid sending and more relaxed timeout apply when data is sent just every 30 seconds or even less often. Maximum timeout is 13 seconds. A URL not answering in that interval can be regarded broken (even on slow cellular networks).

released September 22, 2017

Meteobridge PRO: allows to upload files via admin web interface to SMB folders "charts, "templates", "scripts" and "export". Simply browse to "http://ip-of-your-meteobridge/upload.html" and select folder and file to upload.

released September 21, 2017

adds weather network "Wetterring". All you need is an ID key from Wetterring and you can easily upload data in user-defined intervals to the "Wetterring" network "http://www.wetterring.com". Main focus of Wetterring is Austria and Switzerland.

released September 10, 2017

does no longer report temperature as dew point when humidity is at 0%. Behavior is altered, so that no dew point value is reported, when humidity is at 0%. This is because there is no dew point without humidity. When you urgently need some kind of dew point even when your humidity sensor reports zero, you can adapt humidity stretch as follows. A value of "0" will then be mapped to "1".

Firmware Image Update September 9, 2017

We got notice that TP-Link changed the NOR flash storage in some of the newer hardware batches named Rev 1.9 (see picture on the right) of the MR3020. Unfortunately, this chip is not supported by the Linux kernel we use in our current Meteobridge firmware and the unit will not boot. But we were lucky enough to patch the kernel this evening, so that the new chip is now recognized and Meteobridge firmware in new version 1.5 is now doing well again. For those who flashed one of the impacted MR3020 with Meteobridge firmware 1.4 the sad message is, that the unit is bricked. I just posted an instruction in the forum how to resurrect the device without opening it, but it is more for the hardcore techie: http://forum.meteohub.de/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=12318&p=23502#p23502

I am sorry for the hassle, but we cannot foresee, what TP-Link will surprise us with.... all we can do is to solve issues pretty fast, which I think we did.

released August 17, 2017

adds template variables "daylengthmin", "civillengthmin", "nauticallengthmin" which report length of shortest day (December 21) of the current year at the given longitude/latitude.
adds template variables "daylengthmax", "civillengthmax", "nauticallengthmax" which report length of longest day (June 21) of the current year at the given longitude/latitude.
adds converters "secs", "mins", "hours" to be applied to daylength results. Converter returns a floting point number that defines the time period in seconds, munites or hours instead of the standard "HH:MM" format. This makes it more easy to to math between time durations. Example: Template string "{* [mbsystem-daylengthmax=mins.0] - [mbsystem-daylength=mins.0] *0}" returns number of minutes the current day is shorter than longest day of the year.
adds an option to specify number of leading zeros when using decimals specifier. "{*([mbsystem-daylengthmax=mins.0]-[mbsystem-daylength=mins.0])/60*00t}:{*([mbsystem-daylengthmax=mins.0]-[mbsystem-daylength=mins.0])%60*00t}" returns lost daytime compared to longest day of the year in "HH:MM" notation. "*00t}" sets output to 2 digits filled up with leading zeros ("00") if necessary and does not do rounding but cuts of decimals ("t").

Version 3.3

released August 13, 2017

fixes bug that skips first rain data reading when stations rain counter has been reset to zero. This especially happened when using Davis Envoy8x.
allows for up to 10 external temp/hum sensors when using Oregon WMR-200 station.

released August 2, 2017

corrects solar radiation values for WH-2310 / 4000 stations to better match display data.

released July 4, 2017

Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug related to chart generation when using time frame "last quarter".

released Juli 3, 2017

adds support for Fine Offset 2310 / 4000 weather stations, which are also rebranded as "Tycon TP2700".

released Juli 2, 2017

applies non-standard primary sensor settings to HomeWeatherStation uploads. Changing primary sensors on live data tab did not had an effect on which sensors were used for feeding HomeWeatherStation uploads. With the new release, this is taken into account as with the other weather networks.

released July 1, 2017

adds an option to send true rain rate data to WU instead of cumulated rain of last 60 minutes. Default Meteobridge upload of cumulated rain is in line with WU specification but some users requested to see rain data on WU as on their console. This can now be realized by setting the switch to "alternative rain rate".

released June 19, 2017

removes user-defined retries for weather network ambientweather.net to spare server bandwidth.

released June 18, 2017

improves algorithm to compute station pressure from SLP as reported by Vantage. Normally, Meteobridge directly requests station pressure from Vantage by means of LOOP2 protocol. But there might be situations where Vantage console is on old firmware level (below 1.9) not supporting LOOP2 or when Meteobridge acts as a slave to a PC weather program emulating a WLIP device and by that might not get LOOP2 packets. Please understand that back computation of station pressure from SLP is not perfect as average humidity and temperature of last 12h hours is not avail to Meteobridge. When you are operating in higher altitudes be prepared that some variation will occur. You can compensate by pressure adjustments on "station" tab.

released June 14, 2017

fixes time triggers "before each new year", "before each new month" and non-PRO Meteobridges (PROs did not had the reported problem).
Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug uploading export data via FTP. Latest export file is now available as "export:lastexport.txt" or "export:lastexport.exp" and a bug when using full qualified inline FTP credentials has been fixed.

Version 3.2

released May 29, 2017

includes all changes until this point in time into release 3.2 which is the base release available for all licensed systems, regardless if 2 years of free update support has passed or not.
adds HomeWeatherStation support on "weather network" tab to make it most easy to use.

released May 26, 2017

adds template variable "epoch" which returns current date/time as unsigned integer in Unix style (seconds since January 1, 1970).
Meteobridge PRO: changes OLED screen saver to show two moving vertical lines when active. Screen saver pauses a few seconds and shows original content when lines do meet in the middle of the screen. Moving lines avoid having the false impression that display is completely off.

released May 19, 2017

fixes a bug that falsely reports that Meteotemplate URL is malformed.

released May 14, 2017

adapts error handling to changes in return messages of weather network previmeteo.
adds some checks on providing correct API URL when feeding Meteotemplate sites.

released May 7, 2017

Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug (introduced with previous version) that impacted classical display loop templates.

released May 6, 2017

Meteobridge PRO: fixes another OLED driver bug that tends to show first screen of loop after loop has been finished.

final 3.2 version released May 6, 2017

introduces limited time frame for update support. Free updates are available for first 2 years after license purchase. Having passed that period an update license that covers another two years of free update service can be purchased for 19 Euros. Purchase can be made within the Meteobridge application via a PayPal button. Being out of update services users will stick to their current version, which will stay operational. Bug fixing and trouble shooting will focus on new versions, there are no plans on back-porting bug fixes or deploying new features to older versions. Meteobridge PROs are not subject of these changes, they still get all updates for free.

released April 30, 2017

Meteobridge PRO: fixes start/stop issue of OLED driver and improves CPU efficiency of OLED driver code.
Meteobridge PRO: improves "once" display scripts to erase static screen content (like smartbedded intro logo) when triggered. This helps to render screen black after each round of displaying weather data.

released April 28, 2017

Meteobridge PRO: improves display operation. While default display scripts show weather data on the display in a loop for a period of 5 minutes, there are now script variants available that run throw the loop only one time and switch off display after that. These variants end with "once" in the drop-down list, where you select the display scripts. When you trigger these scripts every 2 minutes, you get about 40 seconds of data being displayed, then display goes off and starts again displaying data when 2 minutes are passed. This helps reducing screen wear-out while still providing you with data on the display.

released April 26, 2017

Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug related to display operations.

released April 22, 2017

Meteobridge PRO: switches OLED into sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. After that content is displayed for 3 secs every minute. When new data is sent to the display, it wakes up immediately and 5 minute countdown to sleep starts again. This measure protects display from early wear out. Timeout to sleep is hard coded and cannot be changed by the user right now.

released April 12, 2017

Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug in handling local timezone for charting purposes.

released February 5, 2017

fixes a bug in handling wind direction from Acurite Aculink devices.

released February 4, 2017

Meteobridge PRO: adds a function on "History" tab that starts a complete reconstruction of the database from the recorded hourly values. This helps in situations, when time zone has changed and as a result higher level aggregated data for days, months, etc will not have the correct time stamps anymore. The reconstruction will take some time and during that period storing new data will delayed until reconstruction has finished. Per minute data for the last hours will be lost by performing this operation. Progress of reconstruction will be reflected in messages section of "System" tab.
Meteobridge PRO: fixes a deficiency, that database process can run into a failure loop, when some database tables are missing (because sensors might have been deleted on "History" tab). When this happens now, one error message will be reported and database table will be setup again to allow next operation on that sensor to be successful.
Meteobridge PRO: adds an adjustable boot delay. This allows the Meteobridge PRO to wait 1 to 5 minutes after a restart before reaching out to the Internet. Optional boot delay can be adjusted on "System" tab.
summarizes repeating entries from the logger process in the messages section of "System" tab.
fixes a bug that did no correctly handle events "before" and "after" day break. Time stamps used for collecting associated data were not correctly used.

released January 29, 2017

fixes a bug that resets timezone to UTC when doing a reboot that forces to start in "LAN DHCP client" mode. This bug did show correct timezone settings on "system" tab but UTC was actually used.
avoids redundant messages on "system" tab. Identical follow-up messages are replaced by a repeat notice.

released January 22, 2017

fixes a frequent disconnect issue when using 3g USB dongles for Internet connectivity.

released January 21, 2017

fixes a bug that prevents from triggering events bound to a specific time of the day.

released January 17, 2017

Meteobridge PRO: adds a chart to show sunshine duration in case you have a modified Davis station that has a 3rd party sunshine sensor attached.
fixes a bug in handling of "no windchill" option on "station" tab (when used with Meteostick or Meteobridge PRO RED).

released December 25, 2016

Meteobridge PRO: better handles RAM database inconsistencies by purging RAM database automatically if needed.

Version 3.1

released December 22, 2016

fixes a bug regarding "no windchill" option on "weather station" tab. Now, when you select this option wind data gets reported even in case no temp sensor for windchill computation available. Formerly, this only worked for Meteostick operation. Now this feature can be used with all weather stations.

released December 19, 2016

improves handling of WMR-100 station USB hang-ups.

released December 17, 2016

fixes a bug when evaluating "wind0dir-valX" template variables on non-PRO Meteobridges

Meteobridge PRO: adds a new tempminmax chart template to display min/max temperature values
Meteobridge PRO: adds a new allinoneminmax chart template that works like "allinone" but display min/max data which is suitable when looking for summary data on daily and monthly level. This charts show min, average and max values in the legend and also presents balloon data including date/time of min max data when moving the mouse to one of the data sets. As with all Meteobridge PRO charts, they are based on Javascript, which is embedded into a regular HTML file that can be uploaded to your server and can be presented there by iframing.
Meteobridge PRO: reflects selection of sensors to be used as primary sensors from "Live Data" tab when plotting charts.
Meteobridge PRO: changes execution of export data generation which should now handle parallel triggering events with successive FTP uploads of lastexport files fine.

released October 20, 2016

Meteobridge PRO: Redesign of lastchart handling to make sure chart generations executed at the same time and which triggered FTP upload events are handled the right way to avoid mixing up the order of execution. When changes have proven being bug free, same will be applied for handling data export events which currently can't be executed at the same time in parallel.

released October 19, 2016

Meteobridge PRO: Making use of automated chart generation and upload should now be fully supported. As there occured a few questions how to use it, I give an example on the right. As you can see, event #6 generates every full hour a chart of todays data just before the new hour shows up. This triggers event #7 which uploads the generated html chart to a web server and gives it the name "daychart-(year)-(month)-(day).html". Current data for year, month, day is inserted by means of "gnu c strftime" function, which defines "%Y" as year, "%m" as month, and "%d" as day. After successful upload, the local file on the Meteobridge PRO is deleted, as indicated by the "Delete file" mark.

released October 17, 2016

Meteobridge PRO: minor bug fixes related to the introduced chart feature.

released October 16, 2016

Meteobridge PRO: initial support for generating charts. Feature is still beta, feedback from users is highly welcome. Charts can be defined on "Graphs" tab, where time period, resolution, language and chart type can be selected. Meteobridge shows chart inline and provides two URLs, where the chart can be accessed. "local URL" works in your LAN, while "remote URL" allows you to access it from the Internet, when you have remote access enabled. Charts can also be generated on "Services" tab in a periodical manner. Charts are stored as html pages in "charts" folder, which can be accessed as Meteobridge PC network folder. FTP Upload of charts is also supported, by which you can make these accessible on your web server. "chart:lastchart" mechanics can be used for an FTP upload triggered by making the chart (this works analogous to the "lastexport" item when uploading export files). There is only one chart defined right now (allinone) in iso and imperial flavor, but more to come. Chart definitions are located in "templates" folder and have extension ".chart". Meteobridge charts are based on the "amcharts.com" package which smartbedded has licensed in a redistributable way. Nevertheless, please be aware that you are not allowed to used the included chart libs for purposes outside Meteobridge. Meteobridge charts are interactive, you can select and deselect data, you can modify the time line, and much more. You find a chart generated by my Meteobridge PRO here. Feel free to inspect it.

better support of Davis leaf stations with Meteostick.

released August 24, 2016

fixes a bug that an event which is triggered by another event might be started in reverse order.
fixes handling of return messages from WOW weather network.
fixes a bug that does not correctly start/stop logging process after making changes on "station" tab. This could have produced database locks on Meteobridge PRO systems.
adds time control for periodic data exports to be triggered before or after a full hour, day, month, year has been started. Example: This allows to export all data of the current day just before day has passed (option: "before day break"). To be precise, this service is triggered when the day has just passed but data taken into account is limited to the day that has just passed. This makes definition of services that intend to export data of completed days/months/years more easy and straight forward.
adds option to FTP upload service, that allows to automatically delete the file from export folder when file has been uploaded successfully.

released August 17, 2016

adds optional retries for HTTP push services. Number of retries depend on send intervals.

Version 3.0

released July 29, 2016

alpha support for new Acurite Aculink bridge data format (still looking for a users bridge to test with)
larger input field for WOW site ID to better handle the new very long ID token from WOW.
THB sensors with missing temperature and/or humidity data are no longer added with artificial temp/hum data. Temp/hum information for these sensors are no longer provided (example: On Meteostick variable "thb0hum" is missing and on Acurite Aculink bridge "thb0temp" and/or "thb0hum" are be missing).
Meteobridge PRO: fixes some bugs on database requests,
Meteobridge PRO: adds check for RAM database consistency, when database repair option is selected.

Meteobridge PRO: fixes error messages popping up on early 3.0 version when generating WDL exports.

released July 12, 2016

Meteobridge PRO: massive rework of how data is stored. In essence there now is a pseudo persistent database keeping data in per minute resolution for the last 36 hours and a database in internal USB store that holds data on per hour/day/month/year level forever. Flash wear is reduced by about factor 60 and capacity of 8GB also looks to be overstated as USB database will grow very slowly. As so many code fractions needed to be adapted, there might still be some bugs here and there. Please report bugs to "info(at)meteobridge.com". We expect things going smooth after s short time.

released July 6, 2016

adds code to terminate stalled logger processes that might keep tcp ports busy.

released July 5, 2016

fixes SMS sending bug introduced with June 28 release

released July 3, 2016

makes use of a vector adding method to compute average wind direction. Result is no longer restricted to a fixed number of direction buckets (have been 16 in the past)
Meteobridge PRO: in order to eliminate the USB flash defects which are likely to occur after a certain time of use, we decided to dramatically reduce update interval of the internal database. Now data is only written every 15 minutes to the internal database. When this works flawless, update interval is planned to be further extended to every hour. As a result database will no longer provide per minute data. Nevertheless, the current 24h data will be available in RAM, so min/max/avg data of last minutes hours can still be computed correctly. RAM data also survives controlled reboots. Impact of stripping away the per minute database representation in regard to template variables is described in the Template section of the wiki.

Version 2.9

released June 28, 2016

fixes a bug which sometimes stalls https requests and by that blocks all uploading.

adds Dutch WOW-NL network, which runs a partnership with UK WOW office.
Meteobridge PRO: write frequency of "non-weather" data like signal level, battery level, all the system information is reduced to every 5 minutes instead of every minute. That reduces write load and write volume in regard to the database significantly and makes database operations more crisp and reduces "database locked" situations.

released March 28, 2016

adds "=apm" converter to template variables about sun/moon rise and set times.
adds option on "Station" tab not to compute wind chill. This is useful when you don't have a temp sensor and wind speed recording will be blocked while waiting for an outdoor temp sensor to show up in order to compute wind chill correctly.

+Released December 8, 2023
-* Meteobridge PRO: adds a function on "History" tab that starts a complete reconstruction of the database from the recorded hourly values. This helps in situations, when time zone has changed and as a result higher level aggregated data for days, months, etc will not have the correct time stamps anymore. The reconstruction will take some time and during that period storing new data will delayed until reconstruction has finished. Per minute data for the last hours will be lost by performing this operation. Progress of reconstruction will be reflected in messages section of "System" tab.
+* [[File:usbdev.png|right|500px]]Meteobridge PRO, PRO2: adds vendor and product information of USB devices connected to the front or back USB connector.
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a deficiency, that database process can run into a failure loop, when some database tables are missing (because sensors might have been deleted on "History" tab). When this happens now, one error message will be reported and database table will be setup again to allow next operation on that sensor to be successful.
-* Meteobridge PRO: adds an adjustable boot delay. This allows the Meteobridge PRO to wait 1 to 5 minutes after a restart before reaching out to the Internet. Optional boot delay can be adjusted on "System" tab.
-* summarizes repeating entries from the logger process in the messages section of "System" tab.

-* fixes a bug that prevents from triggering events bound to a specific time of the day.
+* [[File:virtsens.png|right|500px]]adds an option to define virtual sensors on "Station - Virtual Sensors" tab. In a first step the sensor that should trigger to generate data for a virtual sensor needs to be defined. Next the virtual sensor needs to be selected. Virtual sensors are assigned to a virtual station #8. When trigger sensor and virtual sensor to generate data for are defined, next step is to define an expression that is used for computation of the virtual sensor data. To store this definition "Save" button needs to be pressed. "Reset" button deletes all virtual sensor definitions. The computation is using the same syntax as with templates. You can use any template variables and you can apply math to them in terms of arithmetic expressions. Also conditional #if#then#else#fi# expressions can be used, like with templates. Virtual sensors can be assigned away from virtual station #8 to any other sensor name on "Station - Mapping" tab. Examples: The definition for virtual sensor "thb8!0temp" (which is triggered each time new data for "thb0!0temp" arrives) tells that the current value of "thb0temp" is multiplied by 1.3 and stored as virtual sensor value. The generation of data for virtual sensor "wind8!0wind" is triggered by "wind0!0wind" and the value to be stored is the minimum of the last 3 "wind0wind" readings. Putting the mouse over the orange "i" icons pops up a text that outlines most recent computation of the virtual sensor data. Find more examples in the [https://forum.meteohub.de/viewtopic.php?t=17597 Meteobridge Forum].
-released January 17, 2017
+Released October 31, 2023
-* Meteobridge PRO: adds a chart to show sunshine duration in case you have a modified Davis station that has a 3rd party sunshine sensor attached.
+* adds selectors "prev", "prev1", "prev2", ... to sensor template definitions to address data values in the past. Here which data to pick is not specified by a time frame but by occurrence of data. "[thb0temp-prev]" and "[thb0temp-prev1]" select the temperature data of indoor sensor "thb0" which has been reported by the sensor before the most recent data has been given to Meteobridge. So to speak "prevN" selects data from N steps into the past.
-* fixes a bug in handling of "no windchill" option on "station" tab (when used with Meteostick or Meteobridge PRO RED).
+* adds selectors "prevtime", "prevtime2", "prevtime2", ... which work as the "prev" selectors but report timestamp from the past.
+Released October 29, 2023
+* Meteobridge PRO2: fixes a bug that stalls MB PRO2 when remote login enabled.
+* fixes a bug on computation of sea level pressure with "Weatherflow" and "Purple Air" stations.
+* fixes a bug when uploading soil/leaf data from a Weatherlink Live station to Meteoplug Cloud. Sensor mapping defined in Meteobridge is now also applied to corresponding Meteoplug data.
+released October 18, 2023
+* [[File:bootdelay.png|right|500px]]adds an option to MR3020 models to define a boot delay on "System - Administration" tab. This option was previously limited to Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO, RPI. A boot delay can help to allow the router to start proper operation after a power fail before Meteobridge starts reaching out to the Internet.
+* fixes a bug regarding rain rate and rain total when using WL Cloud as weather station
+* fixes a bug that prevented data for wet-bulb temperature shown on "Monitoring - Min/Max Data" tab
+released October 17, 2023
+* adds measurement of "wet bulb" to "th" sensors. "th0wetbulb" specifies the "web bulb temperature" of "th0" sensor. Wet bulb values can be used in templates, graphs and exports. Wetbulb data is available only after having updated Meteobridge, it is not applied to historical data. Used formular is: <BR>wetbulb = temp * atan (0.151977 * sqrt (hum + 8.313659)) + atan (temp + hum) - atan (hum - 1.676331) + 0.00391838 * pow (hum, 1.5) * atan (0.023101 * hum) - 4.686035
+released October 15, 2023
+* fixes a newly introduced bug where data update stops after a while when reading data from Davis WLL (WeatherLink Live).
+released October 13, 2023
+* [[File:instromet.png|right|500px]]adds experimental support for the Instromet Weather Station Logger.
+* improves code for evaluating 3rd party sunshine detector for Davis stations.
+* makes station available indicators when selecting the type of a connected station more visible. A red mark indicates that a station of the selected type is currently not connected to Meteobridge. A green mark indicates that such a station is for sure connected/available. A missing mark indicates that it is not known if the selected type of station is available.
+released October 7, 2023
+* [[File:selstat.png|right|500px]]improves Weatherlink Cloud data download when using multiple stations. Per default data from all stations is evaluated. Presented station IDs are listed in the Log on "System - Logging" tab. To restrict reception of data to one station the station ID can be added as third parameter in the "V2 Key+Secret" field. When multiple stations report different data for a certain type of sensor, this might result into flipping data for an impacted sensor. To avoid this, a selection of a specific Station-ID might be a good idea.
+* [[File:devices1.png|right|500px]]Meteobridge PRO and PRO2: adds a display on "System - Information" tab that shows connected USB sticks and I2C devices (PRO2 only). USB sticks are shown with vendor/model information, total capacity and installed file system. When USB stick is intended for backup use, it needs to be partitioned as it comes from the factory (vfat and partitioned).
+* changes data uploads to weather network WeatherFlow from HTTP to HTTPS.
+released September 30, 2023
+* [[File:proxysftp1.png|right|500px]][[File:proxysftp2.png|right|500px]]adds a "Proxy-SFTP" service that allows older Meteobridge platforms (that do no support OpenSSL 1.1 which is demanded by some SFTP servers) to upload files by using the Meteobridge server as a proxy. Upload can be tested as with FTP and SFTP before. When defining an event the Proxy-SFTP option needs to selected. Fastest repetition interval is "every minute". Proxy-SFTP events need to be prefixed with "proxysftp" as shown in the attached examples. To avoid running into timeouts file sizes should not exceed 10MB. By using this Proxy-SFTP you pass SFTP credentials through the Meteobridge server. Therefore, I would like to explain how this works, so that you can decide if you are willing to make use of this service. The file data and the credentials are sent by a HTTPS get/post request to the Meteobridge server. This means the transport to the Meteobridge server is encrypted and no one can read the data being transferred. The addressed script on the server takes the data and starts a SFTP session for the given file using the provided credentials. Neither file nor credentials are stored on the Meteobridge server, they are just used within the script during execution. Leak of data can only happen, when the Meteobridge server is hacked and the script gets modified. In theory I could of course lie to you and sneak your credentials, so you have to trust me not to exploiting your data and SFTP credentials. I hope this gives you some feeling in regards to security. The Proxy-SFTP service should not be your first choice for FTP/SFTP but might be a welcome option when direct FTP/SFTP fails because of lacking OpenSSL 1.1 on your Meteobridge.
+released September 21, 2023
+* fixes a bug introduced with last update which may crash the logging process and hides the GW1000 station option.
+released September 18, 2023
+* [[File:wlcloudstat.png|right|500px]]allows to make use of Davis Weatherlink Cloud as a virtual weather station. As many Davis products report data to Davis WeatherLink and some of these products (like new 6313 console) do not provide any data locally, Meteobridge now allows to read weather data from the Davis Cloud. When you are on a basic WeatherLink plan the sensor updates will only be available every 15 minutes. This is a solution inferior of getting local access to data in realtime, but ist is better that not having this data at all. Meteobridge makes use of WeatherLink API v2 and you need to insert API key and API secret (separated by a blank). Warning: Current implementation is still beta, errors might show up for certain sensor setups.

-* [[File:chart-2.png|right|350px]]Meteobridge PRO: fixes some bugs with allinone chart templates
+* fixes release 5.6 not shown as 5.6 on "System - Information" tab
-* Meteobridge PRO: adds a new tempminmax chart template to display min/max temperature values
-* Meteobridge PRO: adds a new allinoneminmax chart template that works like "allinone" but display min/max data which is suitable when looking for summary data on daily and monthly level. This charts show min, average and max values in the legend and also presents balloon data including date/time of min max data when moving the mouse to one of the data sets. As with all Meteobridge PRO charts, they are based on Javascript, which is embedded into a regular HTML file that can be uploaded to your server and can be presented there by iframing.
-* Meteobridge PRO: reflects selection of sensors to be used as primary sensors from "Live Data" tab when plotting charts.
-* Meteobridge PRO: changes execution of export data generation which should now handle parallel triggering events with successive FTP uploads of lastexport files fine.
-released October 20, 2016
-* Meteobridge PRO: Redesign of lastchart handling to make sure chart generations executed at the same time and which triggered FTP upload events are handled the right way to avoid mixing up the order of execution. When changes have proven being bug free, same will be applied for handling data export events which currently can't be executed at the same time in parallel.
+released March 7, 2023
+* Meteobridge PRO, PRO2, NANO SD, RPI: fixes a bug in "Station - Mapping" tab where "uv#index" sensors could be mapped to "th#heatindex" sensors, which is not making sense.
+* Meteobridge PRO2: adds script "download.cgi" to give Meteobridge PRO2 full features to upload and download data via "http://x.x.x.x/upload.html" and "http://x.x.x.x/cgi-bin/download.cgi".
-released October 19, 2016
+===Version 5.5===
-* [[File:chart-gen-and-upload.png|right|550px]]Meteobridge PRO: Making use of automated chart generation and upload should now be fully supported. As there occured a few questions how to use it, I give an example on the right. As you can see, event #6 generates every full hour a chart of todays data just before the new hour shows up. This triggers event #7 which uploads the generated html chart to a web server and gives it the name "daychart-(year)-(month)-(day).html". Current data for year, month, day is inserted by means of "gnu c strftime" function, which defines "%Y" as year, "%m" as month, and "%d" as day. After successful upload, the local file on the Meteobridge PRO is deleted, as indicated by the "Delete file" mark.
-released October 17, 2016
+released March 4, 2023
-* Meteobridge PRO: minor bug fixes related to the introduced chart feature.
+* [[File:meteoclim2.png|right|500px]] Uploading data to weather network "meteoclimatic" is done in multiple steps. First Meteobridge generates a data file containing all what Meteoclimatic needs, then this file gets uploaded to the Meteobridge server at a dedicated URL. Finally, the Meteoclimatic network gets pointed to this file. This approach has the privacy disadvantage that the data you provide to meteoclimatic can be viewed by anyone, when the URL where to pick the data is known. Just released update allows you to specify an individual add-on to the URL. This way you can change the URL by adding a string and someone knowing the former URL will no longer be able to retrieve your data, unless you tell the new URL, which of course you can change again. When using this, please don't forget to inform Meteolimatic about the new URL as well.
+released February 25, 2023
+* [[File:rebuild.png|right|500px]]Meteobridge NANO SD, PRO, PRO2, RPI: Database rebuild feature on "System - Administration" tab has been reworked to apply per-minute data deletion settings when doing a rebuild. This helps to solve situations, where the database has grown to the max because of per-minute data and now stopped operation because of disk being full. Just deleting records from the database does not shrink its physical size. It needs a SQL dump and reimport to build the database up from scratch again. While doing so Meteobridge now also applies the "delete per-minute data" option on "System - Administration" tab. Per minute data that is older as the given threshold will not make it into the new database. This helps to keep the new database small and to resolve the "disk is full" error. When no per-minute deletion is specified, all data will loaded into the new database as before. Rebuilding the database is a very time consuming process. Meteobridge now estimates in the log file how long it will approximately take.
-released October 16, 2016
-* [[File:chart1.png|right]]Meteobridge PRO: initial support for generating charts. Feature is still beta, feedback from users is highly welcome. Charts can be defined on "Graphs" tab, where time period, resolution, language and chart type can be selected. Meteobridge shows chart inline and provides two URLs, where the chart can be accessed. "local URL" works in your LAN, while "remote URL" allows you to access it from the Internet, when you have remote access enabled. Charts can also be generated on "Services" tab in a periodical manner. Charts are stored as html pages in "charts" folder, which can be accessed as Meteobridge PC network folder. FTP Upload of charts is also supported, by which you can make these accessible on your web server. "chart:lastchart" mechanics can be used for an FTP upload triggered by making the chart (this works analogous to the "lastexport" item when uploading export files). There is only one chart defined right now (allinone) in iso and imperial flavor, but more to come. Chart definitions are located in "templates" folder and have extension ".chart". Meteobridge charts are based on the "amcharts.com" package which smartbedded has licensed in a redistributable way. Nevertheless, please be aware that you are not allowed to used the included chart libs for purposes outside Meteobridge. Meteobridge charts are interactive, you can select and deselect data, you can modify the time line, and much more. You find a chart generated by my Meteobridge PRO [http://tau.meteobridge.com/files/allinone-imp-min-201610150000-201610160000.html here]. Feel free to inspect it.
+released February 22, 2023
+* [[File:standalone.png|right|500px]]Meteobridge NANO SD: supports Stand-Alone mode where the NANO SD is not connected to the Internet. NANO can be accessed via the WLAN AP it is providing via SSID "Meteobridge-XXXXXXXXXXXX" and standard password "meteobridge" (which can be changed). As Meteobridge does not have a RTC it asks the Davis console for date/time. By that recorded data can be time stamped correctly. Upload of data to weather networks or all other features that need the Internet are not possible in that mode of operation. However, it can log data locally and allows a technician showing up from time to time with a Laptop to connect to the NANO SD by WiFi, to start generating an local data export and to download the generated export file to the Laptop. In some edge cases this might be interesting for Davis stations being out in the wild where no Internet access can be achieved and just collecting logged data from time to time is good enough for the intended purpose. NANO SD can store tons of data in short intervals, where the internal Davis console logger falls short.

It adds a new station type item "Sunshine Station" to select and provides a new sensor variable "sun0total" which sums up hours of sunshine on daily, monthly, yearly level.
-* adds support for Ambient Weather Observer IP WS-900 weather station
+released October 27, 2022
+* fixes a bug that prevents reading data from WN35 sensors from GW1000 setups.
+* Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: modifies startup code to automatically boot with latest downloaded application stack when getting the stack from Moeteobridge server fails for 10 minutes during boot. This should avoid these devices to permanently hang on reboot when Meteobridge server is down.

-* fixes handling of return messages from WOW weather network.
+* Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: fixes a bug when displaying graphs in "5 min", "10 min", "15 min", "20 min" or "30 min" resolution. Bug appeared as unexpected gaps in the graph compared to "minute" resolution.
-* fixes a bug that does not correctly start/stop logging process after making changes on "station" tab. This could have produced database locks on Meteobridge PRO systems.
-* adds time control for periodic data exports to be triggered before or after a full hour, day, month, year has been started. Example: This allows to export all data of the current day just before day has passed (option: "before day break"). To be precise, this service is triggered when the day has just passed but data taken into account is limited to the day that has just passed. This makes definition of services that intend to export data of completed days/months/years more easy and straight forward.
-* adds option to FTP upload service, that allows to automatically delete the file from export folder when file has been uploaded successfully.
+released October 2, 2022
+* adds new template to feed TV3 network via FTP uploads: https://admin.meteobridge.com/templates/tv3.template?tv3code=1234&tv3name=XXXX

+released August 20, 2022:
+* some internal rework, like adaption of startup scripts.
-released August 17, 2016
+released August 14/15, 2022:
-* adds optional retries for HTTP push services. Number of retries depend on send intervals.
+* fixes a bug when having leaf/soil sensors connected to WLL that do not report temperature. Sensors have then been ignored so far. Now in that case a false temperature of 0°C is reported in order to have the TH sensor type fully equipped with data. Sensor ID mapping of a second or third leaf/soil unit will also change, but I guess that this will hardly be used by anyone.
+* adds more logical sensors to assign physical sensors to. This is needed for sending data of complex sensor arrays to Meteoplug Cloud service, as only logical sensors can be handled by Meteoplug Cloud service.
-===Version 3.0===
+released August 11, 2022:
-released August 9, 2016
+* internal technical streamlining to keep the build trees for the multiple platforms in sync. Unfortunately, this has the risk to break something, but there was no way around. Keep fingers crossed.

-* fixes a bug related to sending data to windfinder on Asus Meteobridge devices.
+* fixes a newly introduced bug where time frame settings in chart definitions are stuck to individual definitions.
+released May 1, 2022:
+* [[File:chartind.png|right|500px]]Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: adds more flexibility to automated chart generation. Beside pre-defined time frames there is an option "user defined" added, that allows to define the start and stop time freely. Definition is done relative to the point in time when the event gets triggered. Syntax is the same as when calling a chart generation via URL parameters. Start and stop times are specified like "Yn" (year), "Mn" (month), "Wn" (week), "Dn" (day), "Hn" (hour), where the first letter indicates the time scale (year, month, week, day, hour) and the consecutive number indicates how many steps to go into the past. Example: "from:H6 to:H0" indicates a period from 6 hours in the past (H6) to the current hour (H0). Time resolution can also be specified from minutes to months. There are no plausibility checks, so you are responsible not to select too large data volumes or invalid time period definitions.
-released July 15, 2016
-* Meteobridge PRO: automatically erases database tables lacking data. This will remove sensors from sensor list on "History" tab that don't have any data in the database.
-* Meteobridge PRO: reduces database writes when syncing RAM and USB databases on process start.

+* adds template date variables "mmm" and "ddd" which report day as English abbreviation for month or day of week in lower case letters, like "jan", feb", "sun", "mon", etc.
-released July 14, 2016
-* increases logging timeout period of 15 secs to 20 secs in order to allow more stable WLIP uploads to Davis weather link server.
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes error messages popping up on early 3.0 version when generating WDL exports.
+released April 18/19, 2022
+* fixes a bug in reading piezzo rain data of ecowitt stations.
-released July 12, 2016
-* Meteobridge PRO: massive rework of how data is stored. In essence there now is a pseudo persistent database keeping data in per minute resolution for the last 36 hours and a database in internal USB store that holds data on per hour/day/month/year level forever. Flash wear is reduced by about factor 60 and capacity of 8GB also looks to be overstated as USB database will grow very slowly. As so many code fractions needed to be adapted, there might still be some bugs here and there. Please report bugs to "info(at)meteobridge.com". We expect things going smooth after s short time.
+released April 14, 2022
+* fixes a bug when reading solar radiation data via ecowitt custom server upload.
+* adds some code to recognize Luftdaten devices in your LAN and to suggest these as "Found IPs" when selecting a Luftdaten station.
-released July 6, 2016

+released April 7, 2022
+* adds readout of additional piezzo rain sensor (as introduced with Ecowitt "Wittboy") to GW1000/2000 stations.
+* adds readout of Ecowitt FW version and used radio frequency to the Meteobridge log file ("System - Logging" tab).
+[[File:readout.png]]
+released April 5, 2022
+* [[File:ecowitt.png|right|500px]]adds support for a wide range of newer Fine Offset / Ecowitt consoles that do not provide a local API but allow to upload data to a custom server. When the URL "http://ip-of-your-meteobridge/public/ecowitt0.cgi" is specified in the console, Meteobridge receives data from the station and can work with that. To allow multiple consoles to feed data to Meteobridge the endpoint of above URL includes the station number. When it is the primary station of Meteobridge "ecowitt0.cgi" has to be used, when it is the first additional station of Meteobridge, then "ecowitt1.cgi" is the correct endpoint, and so on. The URL to use in your specific setup is display in the "Connection" section of your station definition.
+* freshly supported stations are: Ecowitt HP2551, HP3500, WH2910, WH2320; Froggit HP1000, WH3000, WH4000; Ambient WS2000, WS5000, WS2902

This indicates which station a sensor belongs to and can be usefull when driving multiple weather stations with Meteobridge. This option is enabled by adding the URL parameter "includestation" when calling "livedataxml.cgi". Example below shows XML output when called with "includestation" option.

+===Version 5.2===
+released February 1, 2022
+* implements converter from km to miles when using template variables that report distances in km. Converter is named "mls" or "miles". Example: [lgt0dist-act=mls:--]
+* adds Czech language as GUI option (Thanks to Lukáš Ronge for providing the translation).
+released January 11, 2022:
+* Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: changes link names from "export#nn" and "chart#nn" to "export_nn" and "chart_nn" to avoid potential special character issues on URLs.
+released January 9, 2022:
+* Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: generates a symbolic symlink on export and chart events that references to the number of the event that generated the file. Example: when event #3 generates an export file, then the link "export#3.txt" will show up in export folder and points to the generated file. These links can be used for FTP uploads to address the result of a certain export event. The same applies to charts, where links like "chart#2.html" will be added if event #2 generates a chart. The previously introduced links "lastchart.htlm" and "lastexport.txt" will remain operational to address the very last generated chart or export file.
+released January 6, 2022:
+* Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: supports generation of heat index data on TH sensors during import of Meteohub and Meteoplug raw data files.

+* fixes a bug introduced with last update that caused logger crashes.
+* fixes a bug introduced shortly when transferring soil and leaf sensor data to Meteoplug Cloud.
-released July 3, 2016
-* makes use of a vector adding method to compute average wind direction. Result is no longer restricted to a fixed number of direction buckets (have been 16 in the past)
-* Meteobridge PRO: in order to eliminate the USB flash defects which are likely to occur after a certain time of use, we decided to dramatically reduce update interval of the internal database. Now data is only written every 15 minutes to the internal database. When this works flawless, update interval is planned to be further extended to every hour. As a result database will no longer provide per minute data. Nevertheless, the current 24h data will be available in RAM, so min/max/avg data of last minutes hours can still be computed correctly. RAM data also survives controlled reboots. Impact of stripping away the per minute database representation in regard to template variables is described in the Template section of the wiki.
+released October 8, 2021:
+* improves support of multiple stations when doing upload to Meteoplug Cloud. On Meteoplug side sensors are named according the mapping done in Meteobridge on "Station - Mapping" tab.

-released May 10, 2016
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a few bugs in regard to the manual data export options.
+released August 15, 2021:
+* changes the way lightning data is handled with GW1000 stations. Formerly data was only stored in case of a strike event. As GW1000 community keeps complaining about that, lightning data is now always available and redundantly stored every minute, even in case of no strike event. Date/time of the last change in striking counts can be accessed as "lgtXtotal-nonzerotime". That time stamp should correspond reasonable good with the strike event date/time of the GW1000 itself. I hope this makes data more easy to use in follow-on processes. As I don't have these types of sensors, testing relies to the lightning obsessed fraction of the GW1000 install base.
+* fixes a bug when using GW1000 with WH57 lighting detection sensor only.
+* fixes a formerly introduced bug that WLIP wait times are not taken into consideration.
-released May 8, 2016
-* adds selector "nonzerotime" which reports the sensor's last occurrence of a value above 0.0. This is useful when applying to "rain0total" sensor to identify time stamp of last rainfall.
-* applies definition of primary outdoor temp sensor also the sea level pressure and windchill calculation.
+released August 14, 2021:
+* fixes a bug in supporting weather station Froggit WH4000SE, ELV WS980, FineOffset WH2350 or Ecowitt WS2320E that resulted into erroneous values on some occasions.
-released May 7, 2016
-* Meteobridge PRO: adds features to address data from the past by giving an absolute or relative point in time description. This allows a very flexible access of data from the database when designing templates. Details can be found here: http://meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/Templates#Meteobridge_PRO_Additions

+* fixes a bug that prevents supression of invalid UV and solar data on a WH1080 station when no UV/solar sensor attached. Drop-down selection was there but was not working properly.
+* fixes reading of leak sensor values for GW1000 station.
-released May 1, 2016
+released August 8, 2021:
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug that crashes the system (caused by RAM shortage) when generating very large export files (many sensors of a month in a one minute resolution).
+* Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: chnages the was charts and exports are generated when cumulated values for day, month, year are used. Formerly, the data was propagated even into the future. Now data beyound the current point of time is mapped out.
+released August 7, 2021:
+* [[File:resetbinding.png|right|500px]]reintroduces the "reset sensor binding" checkbox for stations GW1000, WeatherFlow, AcuLink in the "Connection" row. Setting a mark into this box and pressing "save" will reset the binding of so far found sensors to Meteobridge sensors. This is very useful, when you replace a sensor and want to get rid of the old Meteobridge bindings that do not point to an existing sensor any more.
-released April 28, 2016
-* Meteobridge PRO: SMS send service can now handle multiple recipients separated by comma.
+released July 27, 2021:
+Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: fixes a minor bug when graphing or exporting cumulated data (like rainfall) in periods without sensor readings. Formerly this was set to zero instead of being omitted.
-released April 27, 2016
+released July 23, 2021:
-* adds support for weather network Wedaal
+* [[File:uradmon.png|right|500px]]adds support for uRADMonitor sensors ([https://www.uradmonitor.com/products/ link]). You only need to specify IP of the device in your LAN/WLAN to read out data locally. Grabbing data from the uRADMonitor cloud service is not supported. Supported sensor types are:

-released April 26, 2016
+released July 18/19, 2021:
-* better handles load peaks when many services try to upload via slow network protocols like FTP. This will improve stability for power-users pushing Meteobridge / Meteobridge PRO to its limits.
+* Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: fixes a glitch how to handle gaps in data. Filling smaller gaps with data from previous time bucket needs to be reimplemented.
-released April 23, 2016
+released July 15, 2021:
-* fixes a bug in regard to total rain fall computation, where sometimes rain fall was not registered.
+* [[File:exportind.png|right|500px]][[File:timeres2.png|right|500px]]Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: supports user-defined export of data in freely defined timeframes and resolution on "History - Import/Export" tab.

-released April 18, 2016
+released July 13/14, 2021:
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug related to sending emails from template folder that contain line feeds. Bug was rather nasty as it stalls the data logger.
+* Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: adds time resolutions of "5 Minutes", "10 Minutes", "15 Minutes", "20 Minutes" and "30 Minutes" to the selection when doing graphs or exports. These time resolutions need the data to be stored on per-minute schedule. Data is not stored in the database in these aggregations but computed when doing the export or chart generation. As this needed some changes deep inside the data extraction code, there might be some new bugs introduced. If you experience unexpected behaviour, please comment in the forum.
+* Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: fixes a bug that prevented mapping of "heatindex" sensors.
-released April 13, 2016
+===Version 5.1===
-* Meteobridge PRO: adds "Sunrise Switzerland" as predefined 3G provider.
-* adds script that can be called to keep WAN connection alive by pinging Google DNS 8.8.8.8. Script URL is "http://templates.meteobridge.com/keepwan.sh".
+released July 11, 2021:
+* [[File:firstdel.png|right|500px]]Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: restructures database maintenance section on "System - Administration" tab a bit to more clearly separate backup and restore functions. Restore of database now also allows deletion of existing database first to avoid out-of-memory situations when restoring a larger database. Please only use this option when told that there is not enough free storage and please do a backup of the old database first.
-released April 9, 2016
-* Meteobridge PRO: allows to pre-configure MBPRO for distinct reseller options by means of a USB stick. If you have a need for mass pre-configuration please contact "info(at)meteobridge.com" for details.
+released July 8, 2021:
+* [[File:licmove.png|right|500px]]allows to move a Meteobridge license from one device to another one. Meteobridge PRO and NANO are excepted as it is dedicated hardware which come with fixed licenses that cannot be transferred. All other Meteobridge devices can migrate their license to another non-licensed Meteobridge. In order to have this working as a self service, the donating and receiving Meteobridge need to be in the same LAN/WLAN. It might be necessary to restart both in order to make them visible to each other. Transfer is done on "License" tab of the license donating Meteobridge by simply selecting the unlicensed target device from a dropdown and to press "Migrate license now" button. Result will be displayed in the header when GUI builds up again. To have changes applied both units need to be restarted afterwards. I hope this self service will reduce e-mail requests to us to do license migrations. If the self service does not do, you are required to contact "info(at)smartbedded.com" to have it done manually by us.
-released April 5, 2016
-* fixes a bug that throwed an error when selecting network tab. Bug was limited to Meteobridges licensed by ambientweather.
+released June 28, 2021:

-* minor bigfixes
+released June 27, 2021:
+* [[File:redmeteo.png|right|500px]]adds weather network "RedMeteo.cl".
+* Meteobridge RPI: Fixes spontaneous Meteostick disconnects on reboot.
-released April 2, 2016
-* adds Dutch WOW-NL network, which runs a partnership with UK WOW office.
-* Meteobridge PRO: write frequency of "non-weather" data like signal level, battery level, all the system information is reduced to every 5 minutes instead of every minute. That reduces write load and write volume in regard to the database significantly and makes database operations more crisp and reduces "database locked" situations.
+released June 13, 2021:
+* Meteobridge PRO RED or any Meteobridge with Meteostick: avoids zero humidity on outdoor sensors.
+* Meteobridge RPI: prints out on console that Meteobridge is a headless device controlled via a browser, not via console. Some users connect a display to the Raspberry and wonder why no GUI shows up.
-released March 28, 2016
-* adds "=apm" converter to template variables about sun/moon rise and set times.
-* [[File:windchill.png|right|]]adds option on "Station" tab not to compute wind chill. This is useful when you don't have a temp sensor and wind speed recording will be blocked while waiting for an outdoor temp sensor to show up in order to compute wind chill correctly.
+released May 30, 2021:
+* suppresses UV index readings of 15 or above when using ObserverIP station.
-released March, 26, 2016
-* allows to use "\#" in email subjects to insert a "#" into the subject field. Quoting the "#" character is needed as an unquoted "#" will indicate that subject ends and following characters are part of the email body.
-* fixes a bug in reporting min/max time stamps in AM/PM notation
-* fixes a bug that prevented DIR-505 platform to update Meteostick firmware.
+released May 6, 2021:
+* Meteobridge PRO, NANO SD, RPI: offers a feature on "System - Administration" tab to copy data from a sensor to another sensor. This helps to cope with a situation where the sensor name has changed and you want to copy data from old sensor name over to the new one.
-released March 21, 2016
-* Meteobridge PRO: minor update on optional database repair function.
+released May 2/3, 2021:
+* adapts sending of hourly rain data to "Weather365" network to send data of last hour within first 5 mins of current hour. This is needed as "weather365" is not able to compute hourly rain data from difference in total rain by themselves but relies on sending redundant information in an out of sync timeframe. This makes the "weather365" API the most inconsistent to deal with I have seen so far, but your milage may vary.
+* adapts sending of daily rain data to "Weather365" network same way as done with hourly data. Not sure which kind of inconsitencies will additionally show up. I would recommend to use this network with some caution regarding meaning and correctness of data.
-released March 20, 2016
+released April 29, 2021:
-* changes to a better sea level pressure computation algorithm for Meteostick used with Meteobridge
+* allows outdoor temp/hum sensor of WMR300 to report 0% relative humidity without being blocked.
-* Meteobridge PRO: does some improvements on optional database repair function on reboot.
-released March 19, 2016
+released April 25/26/27, 2021:

+* hopefully fixes a computational issue when reporting apparent temperature to "Weather365" network.
-* fixes a bug when reporting dew point via port 5556.
+* adds check against empty files when downloading templates from Meteobridge server. If empty, a reload is scheduled.
-* fixes a bug reporting dew point data to Meteoplug live cloud service.
+* adds triggering exports on a certain day of the week and exporting last 7 days of data.
-* fixes a bug regarding IP-Observer solar radiation read out.
-released March 13, 2016
+released April 24, 2021:
-* fixes a bug on handling of multiple threads initiated by the weather network daemon. The bug seemed to be responsible for stalling and crashing of weather network feed daemon. Hopefully, this is the final fix for that kind of problems.
+* minor improvements on handling errors on TCP/IP socket connections.
-released March 11, 2016
+released April 21, 2021:
-* [[File:restore.png|right|]]Meteobridge PRO: allows to easily import database backups. Drop-down menu shows backups available from a connected USB stick plus the database before latest restore or repair.
+* adds data on humidex, apparent temperature and cloudbase when reporting data to network "Weather365".
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a bug that prevents weather network daemon to start.
-released March 9, 2016
+released April 17, 2021:
-* Meteobridge PRO: allows to make backups of the database by a simple press of the "Backup" button on "System" tab.
+* fixes a bug how GW1000 reports lightning data, where strike count has been wrongly reported as energy.
-* Meteobridge PRO: allows to select stored database backups for restore operation. Backup can be provided on a connected USB stick or can be the old database put aside while doing a repair. This helps recovering from a failed database repair. Database restore operation itself is still not implemented. This will be part of the next update.
-* Meteobridge PRO: database repair can be scheduled for next reboot, but will not happen on every reboot. Also some sanity checks are added which should prevent from loosing database content by a failed repair. The replaced database is kept on the file system as "dbase.old" ready for restore operation.
-released March 7, 2016
+released April 16, 2021:
-* Meteobridge PRO: adds optional database consistency check on boot including automated database repair, if needed. Database repair takes serious time but can recover a database from many situations where it otherwise would need to be started from scratch or with the help of a backup. Option can be selected on "system" tab.
+* fixes an issue in the automated location identification, which has been caused by API changes of the location provider.
-* allows a better adaption to leaf/soil sensor configurations when using Meteostick or Meteobridge PRO red. You can now choose betwen three types of leaf/soil sensor arrays. 1) combined leaf/soil transmitter, 2) leaf only, 3) soil only. This avoids phantom soil or leaf sensors popping up.
-* minor fixes in regard to the new SMS service and update of the wiki sections to explain how to use SMS service via MessageBird.
-* Meteobridge PRO: handling of comments in export file definitions is now exactly done a described in the [http://meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/PRO_Tutorial#Define_CSV_Schema wiki].
-released March 3, 2016
+released April 10, 2021:
-* hotfix which solves a problem where HTTP push services terminate send process and result into "open named pipe /dev/meteobridge failed: No such device or address" error messages in system log.
+* adds support for weather network "Weather365" aka "Meteo-Services".
-* fixes bug that prevents changing Originator string of SMS services.
-* Meteobridge PRO: adds database integrity check on startup and starts repair if needed, actions are logged in "system messages".
-released March 3, 2016
+released April 9, 2021:
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a major bug that renders "Live Data" tab unresponsive during first couple of minutes after restarting data logger process.
+* adds reporting of air quality data (PM 10, PM 2.5) to weather network "weather cloud".
-* Meteobridge PRO: there were some situations where services got stalled after some time. Detailed analysis showed that this is caused by crashing of a central service handler thread. Code is changed to monitor this thread and to restart it again in case it is not running anymore. While this is a proper method to cure the symptoms (and a better design anyway) the root cause is still under analysis. Services that triggered this kind of stall were CWOP and APRS, both using socket services. Therefore, chances are good something in the socket handling is not 100% bullet proof in a threaded, partly concurrent environment. As the Unixers say "socket programming separate the man from the boy", so it looks I am a bit younger than expected ;-) I write a bit more technical here, because there were some bug reports about stalled units and you deserve to understand what this is about.
+* fixes a bug when reporting "leafwetness" to weather network "awekas".
-* [[File:testtrigger.png|right|]]Meteobridge PRO: changes in database timing should reduce "database locked" events.
-* adds a "test" button to allow manual trigger of defined events. This makes it more easy to test you events.
-* '''adds SMS notification''' as another push service beside email and twitter. This makes use of messagebird.com services, where you can generate an account, put some money via PayPal onto your account and then you can send SMS until the money you stored there is consumed. All you need to make use of this service is to insert your MessageBird password (which you generate once you have an account there).
-[[File:sms.png|right|]]
-[[File:smsx.png|right|]]
-Please be aware that firing tons of SMS from your Meteobridge can do some financial damage to you by eating up the credit you deposited at MessageBird. Please also be aware that smartbedded is not giving any guarantee that just a certain number of SMS is generated. You do that at your own risk and we do not guarantee proper function of SMS services in Meteobridge.
+released April 8, 2021:

+released October 4, 2020
+* fixes some minor bugs regarding import functions and sensor mapping.
+* NANO SD: fixes some bugs regarding import features.
+released October 2, 2020
+* [[File:setdate.png|right|250px]]adds a "set date" button on "Edit Data" tab to define date selected here being default date for operations on tab "Import / Export".
+* [[File:importchunks.png|right|650px]]import feature has been reworked. Support of compressed files (.zip and .gz) has been stripped to allow import of very large files by cutting those internally into chunks. When import gets started it is done in chunks of 240 secs, then pausing 2 minutes to allow the database to work on the regular requests. This is repeated until the import file is handled completely. Progress can be inspected in "Logging" section of "System" tab. As import of massive files takes rather long this is a major improvement as a) regular Meteobridge operation is not paused during import time and b) large files are handled in the background, no need to cut into smaller chunks and to import those one by one.
+* [[File:mapping.png|right|550px]]some rather fundamental changes in the sensor naming concept. Supporting multiple stations makes a change in the sensor naming schema necessary. From now on there will be two distinct views onto a given sensor.
+** '''physical sensor''': A physical sensor does include all the details that is exactly determining a sensor. This includes station number, sensor type, sensor number, measurement category. Example: "thb1!0temp" is a combined thermo-hum-baro sensor (type: "thb") from station #1 (station: "1") with sensor ID 0 (number: "0") and measurement category "temp". Physical sensor names are best suited to exactly address a certain sensor.
+** '''logical sensor''': A logical sensor abstracts from some details of a physical sensor. It does not carry a station ID, but represents a special meaning. For example "th0temp" and "th0hum" represent the classical outdoor temp-hum sensor, which delivers the temperature/humidity information to be broadcasted to weather networks or used in graphs or your exports. Meteobridge defines a set of logical sensors with a special meaning as you can see in the picture on the right. These logical sensors are mapped to the corresponding sensors of station #0 by default.
+** [[File:mappeddata.png|right|550px]]'''Mapping''' of logical sensors to physical sensors allows you to adapt Meteobridge weather network support and graphing to your specific setup of stations and sensors. When you have an extra temp-hum sensor with ID #1 on station #1 and want to use this for outside temp/hum reporting instead of the one delivered with the primary station, you can simply map "th1!1temp" to "th0temp" and "th1!1hum" to "th0hum" and "th1!1dew" to "th0dew". In case you have a good source for wind chill temperature on temp-hum extra sensor #5 on station #1, you might also map "th1!5temp" to "wind0chill". As you see, this mapping feature is extremely powerful. It allows to adapt predefined weather services in Meteobridge (which are using logical sensors) to your specific station and sensor setup. In the picture on the right you see the new "Mapping" tab in the "Station" section of Meteobridge. This tab reflects the mapping mentioned before. "Mapping" tab replaces former definition of primary sensors on "Min/Max Data" tab, which is now a tab for data inspection purposes only, without interaction. Green sensors are the ones with predefined meaning by default, yellow sensors indicate that these have been mapped individually, white sensors are not attached to a logical sensor and can only be addressed as physical sensors. When moving the mouse over a sensor you get the mapping (if any) displayed as a balloon text.
+* updates Italian language pack
+* introduces an new sub page "mapping" that allows for mapping of physical sensors "th1!0temp" to logical sensors like "th0temp". This mapping page replaces former definition on primary sensors on "Min/Max Data" tab, which is now a tab for data inspection purposes only, without interaction. Green sensors are the ones with predefined meaning, yellow sensors indicate that these have been mapped individually.
+released September 26, 2020
+* [[File:nologgerrestart.png|right|300px]]adds a feature to avoid restarting of data logger when a certain station does not provide new data in the time frame defined by "data hold" parameter. This feature can be switched on/off for each particular station.
+* NANO SD: fixes a bug related to latitude/longitude settings on Weather34 dashboard.
+* removes blocking of upload to WeatherCloud network in case essential data like wind, temperature, pressure is missing.
+released September 23, 2020
+* NANO SD: fixes a shortly introduced bug that prevents from installing the new local Weather34 dashboard. Please use "Reinstall" button to install again, if local dashboard cannot be started on your NANO SD.
+* switches with Davis Airlink from "pm_XXX_last" to "pm_XXX" to avoid zero readings.
+* adds code to ignore phantom gust spikes on W835 weather stations.
+* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a shortly introduced bug, where rain bucket sizes were ignored and always defaulted to 0.01 inch.
+* Meteobridge NANO SD: fixes a bug when entering setup screen of new Weather34 dashboard from remote.
+released September 19/20, 2020
+* adds support for ObserverIP's new firmware that reports air quality for indoor (air0pm) and outdoor (air1pm) sensors.
+* fixes a bug that applies calibration of a specific sensor to all identical named sensors of additional stations (thb0temp, thb1!0temp, thb2!0temp, ...).
+* fixes some bugs regarding user-defined plugins.
+* fixes a bug when defining calibration factor or offset of sensors from additional (non-primary) weather stations.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: supports sensors from non-primary weather stations in exports and charts. Sensor number is replaced by station number an exclamation mark followed by the sensor number. Example "th1!1temp" addresses sensor "th1temp" from station 1. Sensors from primary station (station 0) do not need the station prefix "0!". Therefore, "th0!0temp" is identical to "th0temp". That way you don't have to change your existing chart, export and template definitions.
+* Meteobridge NANO & NANO SD: adds option to use user-defined plugins.
+* [[File:dashboardtab.png|right|450px]]Meteobridge NANO SD: adds a new second row tab "Weather Dashboard" which allows you to have a look at your current data in the famous Weather34 style. On the tab you can select if data should be transferred into this dashboard. When you launch the dashboard it will come up in a separate window (your browser needs to allow Meteobridge to open a window). The dashboard can also be reached from the Internet, if you enabled Meteobridge remote login. Dashboard does not provide charts. You can add your WU API key to include weather forecasts from WU. Please don't forget to set time zone and UTC difference on the dashboard configuration page. Many thanks to Brian for developing this fantastic looking dashboard.
+[[File:dashboard34.png|center]]
+released September 16/17, 2020
+* [[File:fast.png|right|450px]]adds a "quick navigation" feature that allows a direct jump onto the tabs of the second row. When mouse moves over the tab name, a list with accessible sub-tabs is popping up so that the desired sub-tab can be directly selected. This is a short cut for first selecting a tab from the first row, waiting until the page has built up and then selecting the sub-tab where you want to go.
+* fixes shortly broken support for "OberserverIP" stations.
+* fixes a bug when using non-metric units for sensor calibration on tab "Weather Station" -> "Settings".
+released September 13/14/15, 2020
+* [[File:airlink.png|right|450px]]adds support for Davis Airlink, which needs to be integrated as an additional weather station with its own IP. This station reports temperature, humidity and 3 particle values (pm_1, pm_2.5, pm_10).
+* fixes bug that prevents adding stations.
+* fixes not being able to make initial use of IP given for Observerip or GW1000 stations.
+* fixes number of supported language translation entires to 2000 instead of 1200.
+* fixes bug not supporting "via Console" RF reveiving option on Metebridge PRO red or Meteostick equipped Meteobridges.
+released September 12, 2020
+* adds experimental support for new Ecowitt WH45 sensor (temp, hum, air quality and CO2).
+* silently reestablish tcpip connection drops (caused by the weather station) without doing a complete disconnect/connect station cycle.
+* Design of "Weather Station" tab has changed significantly in order to allow definition of multiple weather stations. Station is picked from a drop-down selection from the list of supported models. Then type of connection (USB, TCPIP, etc) is choosen and finally additional information like serial device or IP address is specified. Meteobridge takes care that only models that can be connected to your specific Meteobridge platform are presented. Beside the primary weather station a maximum of 4 additional stations can be connected to and evaluated by Meteobridge. This works even on the least powerful platforms like MR3020v1. The gallery below shows a Meteobridge MR3020v1 connected to five different weather station models in parallel.

+</gallery>
+* [[File:prim2.png|right|250px]]Template variables are modified to handle multi-station situations. Sensors of the primary station can be addressed as before like "th0temp". "th0temp" sensor of first additional station can be addressed as "th1!0temp". The "1!" prefix indicates additional station #1, "2!" prefix denotes additional station #2 and so on. As before you define which sensors are used as primary sensors used for reporting to weather networks (on tab "Live Data" -> "Data Min/Max"). Their names are displayed in green. You can change that be clicking on one of the yellow sensors and stating that this one should be used as a primary sensor. Definition of primary sensors has not changed, you just have more options when using multiple stations.
+* adds support for user-defined plugins that can feed data from not natively supported weather stations to Meteobridge. This is done in terms of a simple, user-defined shell script that posts data to /dev/stdout in an endless loop. Format of data to be provided can be derived from the attached example script "simulstation.plugin" that provides random data for sensors thb0, th0, t0, rain0, wind0, uv0, sol0, data0. Plugin files need to have extension ".plugin" and can be located in "scripts" folder (only on PRO and NANOSD platforms) or can be loaded from an URL (on all Meteobridge platforms).

+* updates on Dutch language file, thanks to Gerhard (https://weeropdeveluwe.nl)
+* updates maximum length of HTTP calls on "Services" tab to 8192 instead of 4096 bytes.
+released August 18, 2020
+* [[File:calib.png|right|600px]]replaces the old mechanism to calibrate some sensors groups (wind0/rain0/th0/etc.) by a more general approach that allows for calibrating any sensor you like. "Station" tab has a sub tab "Settings" where you can define calibration. Calibration is done in terms of an offset and a factor. Although Meteobridge computes internally with metric units, you can apply calibrations in imperial units, if you like. It will be recalculated internally. The used calculation formular is displayed for you to understand how it works. Settings defined previously should be automatically converted into the new format.
+released August 17, 2020
+* fixes a bug in regard to moisture updates via new AWEKAS upload format.
+* some minor improvements on "2 row tab" GUI.
+released August 16, 2020
+* [[File:2rowtabs.png|right|600px]]introduces a new navigation schema for Meteobridge admin web interface. As the content on some tabs has grown over the past the pages were getting longer and longer so that a lot of scrolling was needed. We now changed to a 2-row tab approach, where the content of a tab is divided into "sub tabs" where appropriate. This should make navigation more convenient and also gives room for more features in the future. Color schema is not the best in the world, but I think it is not too much pain in the eyes. Please do a "shift reload" with your browser to empty its cache on CCS and background GIFs. When you face any quirks regarding the new GUI, please report in the forum.

-released January 15, 2016
-* [[File:usbstore.png|right]]Meteobridge PRO: allows to select which USB port to use as data store. Default is internal USB port, but ports on front and back panel can also be equipped with a USB stick and can be used as storage media. This allows the user to upgrade the USB store with larger/faster data store that can be easily replaced if necessary. When USB stick is used first time it will be reformatted and equipped with an ext4 on device level, without further partitioning. Switching to a new USB port used as database store needs a reboot. Unplugging a USB stick currently in use is not recommended and provides a high risk of rendering the database on the stick useless.
-* [[File:passphrase.png|right]]allows to show WiFi passphrase while typing in on "network" tab.
-* Meteobridge PRO: fixes bugs in delta computation.
-* [[File:borgervejr.png|right]]Meteobridge PRO: adds a template for feeding Danish weather network "BORGERVEJR" by email. Template is named "borgervejr.email" and can be selected via drop-down when defining an email send service. Address to send email to this network is "borgervejr@dmi.dk". You authenticate yourself by your email from-address.
-In case you are interested how this works, template file "borgervejr.email" looks like this and uses the standard Meteobridge template mechanisms:

+* fixes a newly introduced bug around unit conversions in templates.
+released February 8, 2020
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: allows period parameter of "export.cgi" script to specify a range. Example: "period=20191201-20200115" specifies range from Dec 1, 2019 until Jan 15, 2020 (end date is excluded so it is effectively until 23:59 Jan 14, 2020).
+released February 1, 2020
+* expands conversion options of template variables by a generic factor/offset model. Example: "[th0temp-act=f0,5+3,5:-]" returns the current outdoor temperate in degrees Fahrenheit but multiplies the result with 0.5 (factor) and adds 3.5 (offset) to it. If factor or offset contain decimals, these need to be written with a comma "," instead of the dot "." because the dot has a special meaning when used with template variables. Factors and offsets can also be applied to export and chart definitions.

+released January 23, 2020
+* [[File:export2.png|right|300px]]Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: allows to feed "export.cgi" function with a template string instead of a pre-defined template file. Please keep in mind that these templates are used for mass data export from the database and they are not providing the conversion features known from the regular templates. Example: <font face="Courier"><span style="background-color:lightgrey;">export.cgi?period=202001&resolution=day&template=[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD],[epoch],[th0temp-avg.1:],[th0temp-min.1:],[th0temp-max.1:],[th0hum-avg.0:]</span></font face> returns the data on the right.
+released January 19, 2020
+* [[File:export-http.png|right|450px]]Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: makes data export function available from the web interface by calling "http://ip-of-your-meteobridge/cgi-bin/export.cgi?period=202001&resolution=hour&template=standard-iso.exp". This reports content of the database according to the template definition "standard-iso.exp" (from template folder) for the month January 2020 in hourly resolution.

+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug on importing Meteohub raw data, where sea level pressure was imported wrong by factor 10.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug where addressing data back into last year with "@Mx" selector points into the void.
+* adds new sensor "wind0maxdir" that reports wind direction of maximum gust in the requested time frame. Example: [wind0maxdir-dmax:-] reports wind direction of todays maximum gust. [wind0maxdir-dmax=endir:-] does the same but reports as a text like "NWN" instead of degrees north. New "wind0maxdir" data starts being collected from installation of this version on, so it will not work back into the past.
-released January 8, 2016

-* some final fixes regarding Peetbros wind speeds.
+* fixes a startup problem with Italian provider Vodafone which automatically redirects some HTTP requests to HTTPS at a time when Meteobridge does not have the HTTPS enabled components downloaded. Symptom is that Meteobridge PRO did stay stuck to its current SW version although being told to download newest from Internet during boot.
-* Meteobridge PRO: makes more intensive use of its SMB share, where a user can load and store data like on a PC network share. This reduces the need to load templates from an Internet URL. You can simply put the templates to be used on the network share and Meteobridge PRO offers to make use of those by simple drop-down lists on "services" tab. Please see attached table to understand where Meteobridge PRO looks for template data.

+released November 22, 2019
+* adds support for additional temp/hum sensors to station Ventus W835.
-released December 19, 2015
-* Meteobridge PRO: new template features to make data in the database fully accessible to templates: ''Selectors val, min, max, avg, sum, mintime, maxtime can be combined with a "@YYYYMMDDhhmm" specifier, which determines the point in time where the data should be taken from. This specifier also defines if data should be used on a per minute, per hour, per day, per month or per year resolution. To get data in a per minute resolution the specifier needs to define the point in time down to the minute. Example: "min@201512190900" selects minimum data from December 19, 2015 at 09:00 (on a per minute base), while "min@2015121909" selects minimum data from December 19, 2015 09:00 until 9:59 (on a per hour base).''

-released November 9, 2015
-* fixed a bug related to new "delta" selectors.
+released October 6, 2019
+* [[File:wlcloud.png|right|550px]]adds support for a new personal weather data upload service named "WL Cloud". This feature is only available for Meteobridges connected to a Davis data logger (Console or Envoy, not Envoy8x). It directly uploads data from the logger (not data from the Meteobridge) to an URL of your liking. Data consists of LOOP, HILOWS and DMPAFT data sets as provided from the Davis logger. Upload format is similar (and might be compatible) to what Davis uses to feed their weatherlink network. To have your web server ready for receiving the data, please use [https://admin.meteobridge.com/files/wlcloud.pl this perl code], which stores uploaded packet content on your server in separate files for further processing. Code is very simple and provides some comments to understand what kind of data is stored in the files. Feel free to use this code and change/distribute as you like.
-released November 7, 2015
-* introduces simple trend analysis on time series data. New selectors are named delta1, delta2, ..., delta60, delta1h, delta2h, ..., delta24h which represents the difference between the current value of the sensor compared to the sensor value 1, 2, ..., 60 minutes or 1, 2, ..., 24 hours ago. A negative delta value indicates that sensor value has decreased. In order to put this into categories meaningful for air pressure trends, a converter "barotrend" is defined that results to -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. Converter "enbarotrend" reports the trend in English synonyms FF (falling fast = -2), FS (falling slowly = -1), ST (stable = 0), RS (rising slowly = 1), RF (rising fast = 2). Threshold levels are explained in the template section of the wiki. Example: "[thb0seapress-delta1h=barotrend:0]" returns "1" when pressure has slightly (0.3 to 0.6 inHg) increased over the last hour. "[thb0seapress-delta3h=enbarotrend:--]" returns "ST" when pressure difference between now and 3 hours ago is in -0.3 to 0.3 inHg range.
-* fixes a bug that prevents from uploading data to OpenWeatherNet when latitude and longitude data is not setup manually on "System" tab.
-* uses "route -n" instead of "route" internally to avoid Meteobridge stalling admin pages in case DNS is very slow.
+===Version 4.1===
+released October 5, 2019
+* changes time stamp for meteoclimatic uploads to "UTC" by dropping the "UPD" line.
+* fixes bug in "APM" selector for "moonrise" and "moonset" variables.

+* adds UTC data to uploads to weather network meteoclimatic.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes not showing rain total data in graph on history tab.
+* has all images converted to GIF to free up some RAM.
+* gives a bit more RAM headroom for platforms MR3020, MR3040 and WR703N when not using "Acurite Bridge" as weather station. This is to compensate for using new, bigger openssl libs to support TLS-only HTTPS uploads on those platforms.
-released October 31, 2015
-* fixes a bug that prevents Meteostick firmware updates on D-Link DIR-505 platform.
-* changes CWOP standard URL to the CWOP internal round-robin address "cwop.aprs.net"

+* [[File:w835large.png|right|200px]]fixes a bug that made version 4.1 not working properly on the less often used TL-MR3040 platform.
+* adds support for Ventus W835 weather station which provides live data via USB.
-released October 16, 2015
-* adds support for CH341 usb serial converter to all Meteobridge platforms (TP-Link platforms with firmware version below 1.4 are not updated as they don't offer enough free flash).
-* fixes a dnsmasq related issue that blocks local name resolution when Meteobridge tries to resolve names when reaching out to devices in the LAN.
+released September 14, 2019
+* adds support soil temp and soil moisture sensor types for GW1000 station
-released October 5, 2015
-* fixes a potential DNS issue in case Meteobridge is not behind a firewall that blocks incoming DNS requests on port 53 (open recursive DNS resolver issue). Anyway, we strongly recommend not to expose a Meteobridge directly to the Internet. It is meant to operate in a protected LAN/WLAN.
+released September 8, 2019
+* adds weather network Meteomap.cloud with a focus on weather maps and weather station data sites.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds chart template "allinone-wind1st-iso" which is a variant of "allinone-iso" with wind data on the top.

-released September 20, 2015
-* better handle "no data received" condition on Rainwise CC3000 logger.
-* fix missing display of IP and NETMASK when connected by Ethernet (new bug introduced with 2.5).
-* broader range of RF sensitivity (-30db to -105db) threshold settings when using Meteostick.
-* new bandwidth settings (small, normal, wide) to optimize RF reception from Vantage console retransmits when using Meteostick. In order to have this working, it needs update to Meteostick to FW 2.3b2 (or newer). This can be done with "Update Firmware" button in Meteostick section of "System" tab. To receive Vantage console retransmits it needs setting "wide".

-===Version 2.5===
+released August 31, 2019
-released July 31, 2015
+* fixed an issue where TL-WR703N systems do not load complete application stack of version 4.1. This has been caused by a tmpfs overflow because of downloading new openssl libs in order to allow HTTPS traffic to websites supporting TLS only (no SSL).
-* making latest version 2.5 a stable and archived version you can stick to on "system" tab.
-released July 27, 2015
+released August 28, 2019

-* [[File:kmtronic-relay.png|right|caption]] add support for [http://www.kmtronic.com/usb-one-channel-relay-pcb.html KMtronic USB relay] that is handled as a USB serial device. In order to keep it separate from the USB serial weather station device identifier, you can determine on "Select Station" tab which port on the USB hub the KMtronic relay is connected to.
+* changes automated payment method from "PayPal" to "MyCommerce". This gives you more flexibility on payment options. When transaction is done, you get a license key to be manually entered on "License" tab and saved. Having done that, Meteobridge needs to be restarted to come up licensed. Update licenses to purchase additional 2 years of SW updates are handled the same way.

-* [[File:pusbio1rpcb.jpg|right|caption]]adds support for triggering a USB relay based on weather data. Supported relay is [http://pandatron.de/?partno=91017&tx=pusbio1r_-_multifunction_relays_with_usb_interface&lng=us PUSBIO1R] from Pandatron. This 1-port USB relay can be connected to the USB hub connected to your Meteobridge in parallel to your weather station. Meteobridge provides a low level driver to send on/off commands to the USB relay by means of executing a script that calls "/home/meteohub/swusb" with parameters "on" or "off". To make it most easy for you, there is already a script predefined (Pandatronic PUSBIO1R USB switch) that can be used within push services definitions. The example below can be used to control a rain funnel heater, which is switched on when outdoor temperature falls below 0° Celsius and is switched off when temp raises again above 0° Celsius. Please see example below for details.
+* fixes a solar radiation computation bug with GW1000.

+released June 16, 2019
+* now keeps wind direction for Davis WLL as has been before, when wind speed drops to zero (instead of setting wind direction to "N").
-released March 14, 2015
-* [[File:cc3000.gif|right|caption]]adds support for Rainwaise stations connected to a CC-3000 computer interface. Now both Rainwise computer interfaces are supported. The older white-boxed MKIIICC and the recent black-boxed CC-3000. Support for CC-3000 is brand new, so please keep me posted when you hit some bugs. As we don't have the station physically, we were relying on remote access to develop the drivers, which somehow reduces options for testing.

+released May 22, 2019
-* [[File:envoy8x.gif|right|caption]]adds <u>experimental support</u> for Davis Envoy8x logger. Envoy8x logger needs to be configured with the Davis setup tool before the logger can be used with Meteobridge (definition of transmitters regarding channel and sensor type, rain bucket size, etc). Envoy8x allows to make use of up to 8 Vantage transmitters (IS, Wind, Rain, Leaf/Soil, Temperature, Temperature/Humidity) in parallel. Especially for larger sensor arrays this can be very interesting. Meteobridge (beside Meteohub) is the only non-Davis software being able to handle Envoy8x loggers. To make this a full tested production ready feature we need feedback from users running different setups. Selecting the sensors that should be used for weather network reporting can be done by the recently introduced selection of primary sensors on "live data" tab in "historical data" section.
+* adds support for air quality sensor PM2.5 for Ambient Weather Observer-IP. PM2.5 data is reported as template variable "air0pm" and is displayed on "Live Data" tab.
-* fixes a bug where sealevel pressure displayed in live data section was not 100% identical to "now" section in historical data.
+* adds support for air quality reporting to weather underground and ambientweather network.

-* fixes a bug that historical data for sensors following the one to be deleted are also deleted.
+released May 11, 2019
+* fixes a bug that prevented from making use of the optional "delete file after upload" option when doing SFTP file uploads.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds a generic import function called "direct" to support easy import of natively not supported data formats. All the other supported import formats are internally converted to this format and then imported. A section on import formats has been added to the wiki: [[PRO_Tutorial#Data_Import]]
-released January 24, 2015
-* fixes a bug in enumerating Acurite 3in1 and rain sensors when used with Acurite Internet bridge.
-* adds support for generic APRS services, which are now available an additional weather network.
-* allows to block primary sensors from sending data to weather networks. Just click onto the name of a primary sensor (green), confirm that you want to block this sensor and sensor will be marked as blocked and sensor name switches to red. By clicking again onto the sensor name, it will be unblocked and appears in green again.
+released May 10, 2019
+* [[File:wll-res.png|right|350px]]adds rain bucket resolution option to Davis Weather Link Live station.
+* changes wind direction reported to network "windy.com" to 2 minutes average instead of current direction.
-released January 22, 2015
-* [[File:primarysensors.png|right|caption]]introduces the concept of primary sensors, which are the sensors that are used for reporting data to the weather networks. On "live data" tab primary sensors are listed in green in the historical data section. Sensors actually not used as primary but having the potential to be used as primary sensors are displayed in yellow. By clicking onto a primary sensor (green ones) Meteobridge displays what kind of data the sensor is used for in the weather network context. By clicking onto a "potential sensor" (yellow ones) Meteobridge presents a drop-down list you can choose from to make this sensor a primary sensor. This allows to make the "outdoor temperature sensor #1" your primary sensor to be used for outdoor temperature reporting instead of using the default outdoor temperature sensor for this. On small weather stations with just one set of sensors this feature will not give lots of options, but stations with lots of sensors do get more options to select which sensor reports to the weather networks. [http://tau.meteobridge.com/files/sensor-retagging.m4v This screen capture video] demonstrates how to replace the standard temp/hum/dew sensor with the additional outdoor sensor #1.
+released May 5, 2019
+* adds experimental support for Davis Weather Link Live device. This is still very experimental, intended to find bugs with the help of Meteobridge users. No way ready for production. We still need a leaf/soil station connected to a WLL to read out and understand the data format for that particular sensor type.
-released January 20, 2015
+===Version 3.9===
-* fixes issues when 3in1 and 5in1 sensors are used in parallel on an Acurite Internet Bridge setup. 5in1 sensor array is given IDs wind0, th0, rain0 and these will be used for reporting into weather networks.
+released May 5, 2019
+* version 3.9 finalized.
-released January 17, 2015
+released April 28, 2019
-* allow daisy chaining of any Davis Vantage PC weather program. A Meteobridge connected to a Davis Vantage by an Davis data logger (regardless if serial, USB or IP) exposes the Vantage on port 22222 like a Davis IP data logger. This allows other weather programs to also connect to the Davis Vantage and to read data in parallel from it. Only one additional program can read data from the Vantage. Function is a bit similar to the "Virtual Vantage" program that has been offered as a PC solution. Difference is that Meteobridge also supports LOOP2 communication (which "Virtual Vantage" does not) but as a downside Meteobridge can handle only one additional client (instead of 8 like "Virtual Vantage")
+* [[File:gw1000.png|right|150px]]adds support for new weather station gateway GW1000 from Fine Offset. GW1000 collects data from up to 8 WH31 sensors (temp/hygro with display), 16 WH51 sensors (soil temp and moisture with sensor cable and display), a WS68 sensor unit delivering outdoor temp/hum, wind and uv/solar data, a Wh40 rain counter, and finally a WH41 air quality meter. The GW1000 gateway connects via WiFi to your LAN and provides data to the Meteobridge, when Meteobridge is told the IP of the GW1000. Apart from the standard set the GW1000 supports soil sensors and an air quality sensor. Implementation has been tested with quite a few sensors in the meanwhile. Please report bugs in the corresponding thread in the forum.

-* adds new system variables to react on no data coming in situations:
+* [[File:newvocore2.png|right|400px]]Meteobridge NANO: adds TX power boost mode for the new batch of NANOs (left picture, with a red strap instead of a black strap). This option makes use of the better RF power emission of the new batch of VoCore2 modules. Please be aware that this mode draws so much power that the console needs support by additional batteries or (better) a more juicy power supply (minimum 500 mA). The standard 300 mA power supply of the Davis console cannot feed this mode, voltage will plump on WiFi operation and make the NANO reboot. Please use this mode only, when you experience WiFi reach problems. If your WiFi operation is fine, don't mess with this mode. Black strap NANOs don't have this option.
-** "mbsystem-uptime": uptime of Meteobridge in seconds.
-** "mbsystem-lastdata": seconds passed since last piece of data received from weather station, returns -1 if no data received. Does not distinguish between useful and useless garbage data.
-** "mbsystem-lastgooddata": seconds passed since last piece of meaningful sensor data recorded, returns -1 if no sensor data recorded so far.

-released January 6, 2015
+released April 15, 2019
-* fixes a Meteostick bug with temperatures below 0°F.
+* more changes on OpenWeatherMap support. Meteobridge does now check for a station already being registered at the provided API key. If not, Meteobridge will register a station. If there is already a station registered the first one from the list (in case there are multiple stations registered) will be used by Meteobridge for uploading. This is still experimental, but please give it a try. Deleting the stations Meteobridge might have registered before is a good step to start with. OpenWeatherMap API documentation explains how to delete stations via HTTP requests. I am still disappointed that OpenWeatherMap does not provide features to setup/maintain/delete stations within their web interface, which is clearly the right way to go.
-released January 3, 2015
+released April 14, 2019
-* adds options to backup and restore configuration of a Meteobridge. Current network settings, timezone, latitude and longitude data are not overwritten when restoring a previously saved backup.
+* fixes a repetitive registration of station at openweathermap. Station registration is now only done one time.

+* adds periodical triggers for "every two days" and "weekly".
+* fixes template variable "mbsystem-station" to report name of selected station type.
+* NANO SD: fixes newly introduced bug which inhibits backup script execution.
+* [[File:owmapi3.png|right|400px]] switches support for OpenWeatherMap to their new API 3.0. This was necessary because upload using legacy API is no longer available for new users. Using API 3.0 needs you to enter the APP ID you are granted by OpenWeatherNet when setting up your account. When you enter APP ID and station name and press "save" a station ID will be automatically assigned at OpenWeatherMap. Support for this rather complicated and complicated to use weather network is still experimental.

-released November 4, 2014
-* adds percentage of good RF reads vs RF noise in case of Meteostick usage. Percentage is displayed in signal column of indoor sensor. Values below 1% are considered as difficult RF noise conditions. RF good vs noise ratio can be improved by better placement of Meteostick (using the USB cradle) and reducing Meteostick RF sensitivity.

-* WS1000/HP-1000 outdoor multi-sensor units from Ambient Weather/Fine Offset are now fully supported by Meteostick. Support just covers the outdoor sensor unit, air pressure is given by Meteostick. This version allows the Meteostick to drop its binding to an initially found WS1000 sensor unit. This can be done manually by a checkbox on "Select Station" tab or will be done automatically after a series of failed attempts to connect with the unit. Sensor unit IDs change when sensors are power cycled. Therefore, it needs a mechanism to bind to these IDs (which is done automatically) and to unbind again, when unit with another ID (or changed ID) should be listened to. In order to have Meteostick supporting WS1000 you have to update its firmware to version 2.0 by calling this URL: <nowiki>"http://<ip_of_your_meteobridge>/cgi-bin/stickupdate.cgi"</nowiki>

-* minor optical bug fixes regarding new "deactivate push services" feature.
+* [[File:meteoclim.png|right|500px]]adds support for weather network meteoclimatic. Data is uploaded to the Meteobridge server and meteoclimatic data collector needs to be told the URL where to pick the data from. URL is individual and provided as "Data Link" on Meteobridge "Weather Network" tab. Green marks just indicate that the Meteobridge server did store the data, it does not show if meteoclimatic has grabbed data from there. This loose coupling is one of the disadvantages of the "drop and forget" data upload schema, you don't get feedback if data has finally reached its destination.
-* "i" icon on "live data" tab shows history of events triggered by alarm definitions.

+released January 5, 2019
+* [[File:wswin.png|right|500px]]Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds a weather network entry "WSWIN Data Feed" that allows to build "import.csv" files in network folder "export". WSWIN can be pointed to this file to read data ongoing in per minute resolution from the Meteobridge. Interval to build this file can be between every 5 minutes up to every hour. Please keep in mind that doing short intervals will add to the wear of your USB or SD-card storage in the Meteobridge.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds option "pragma exportfile=xyz" to be used within export templates. Using this option will store export data with filename "xyz" in export folder instead using template name and selected time frame and resolution as file name.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds option "pragma append=y" to be used in order to add more line to an already existing file without repeating the header lines. Using this option is helpful to incrementally add data to an export file.
+* adds soil temperature and soil moisture values of a Davis Vantage to be reported to ambientweather network.
-released October 19, 2014
-* adds indicator if USB hub is connected to platform string on "System" tab.

-* adds modulus operator and arithmetic functions to be used for definition of alarm trigger conditions (see [http://meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/Push_Services#Condition_Expression here]).
+released January 2, 2019
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds option "pragma crlf=y" to be used within export templates. Using this option will result into an export file with Windows style terminated lines (CR+LF) instead of just LF.
+* stabilizes initialization sequence of Davis Vantage consoles by optimized timing.
+===Version 3.8===
+released January 1, 2019
+* fixes a newly introduced bug regarding data upload to homeweatherstation template.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: fixes a bug when triggering two chart generating tasks and FTP uploads of "lastchart" on same time schedule.
-released October 8, 2014
-* adds red comment on "i" icon text when alarm is triggered and puts green comment in, when alarm is resetted. This allows a better understanding how evaluated conditions trigger actions.
-===Version 2.3===
+released December 30, 2018
-released October 8, 2014
+* fixes a bug where name of some weather stations is reported in two words instead of one (and by that confuses order of parameters) when doing HomeWeatherStation uploads.
-* modifies evaluation of trigger events in a way that does not trigger when clear condition is met (in that case it skips raise condition evaluation)
-* adds firing of trigger event to "i" icon condition evaluation history and allows to show latest 24 evaluations (instead of 8 before).
-released October 2, 2014
+released December 29, 2018
-* fixes a bug on day change, where today/yesterday variables are not properly set for the very few seconds
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: minor improvements on data imports.
-* reworks expressions handling of alarm conditions and removes some bugs regarding expression evaluation. Changes are in detail:
-** Variables can be used with or without enclosing square brackets. If used without, please make sure there is a blank before and after the variable. Apart from this, there is no need for separating operators etc by blanks.
-** Variables can use all defined qualifiers, like "th0temp-act=F.0:0".
-** There is no longer a distinction between simple and complex conditions.
-** Logical operators in expressions for "and" are "&" or "&&", both have the same meaning, some with "or" which can be "||" or "|".
-** The "i" icon shows history of latest evaluation of raise and clear conditions. To get more recent history reload "Push Services" tab by clicking onto the tab and then going back to the "i" icon.
-** The "i" icon also lists errors during condition evaluation.

+released December 22, 2018
+* [[File:import1.png|right|500px]]Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: adds data import function on "Hirstory tab. In a first step import of Meteohub raw data files and Meteoplug monthly export files are supported. Files can be zipped (".zip") or gnuzipped (".gz") or plain text. Files need to be copied into "import" folder on PC network share provided by Meteobridge. There is an option to skip malformed records or to halt import. Meteohub and Meteoplug provide up to 4 million raw data records per months, so this can take half an hour (NANO SD) or an hour (PRO) to import. While import is running, new logged data is queued and stored into database when import is done. Feeding of weather networks is halted during the import.
-released September 9, 2014
-* fixes a bug in setting up AirCams with latest firmware 3.0.7 to be correctly initialized for operation with Meteobridge. Former issue related to switching web interface from HTTPS to HTTP has been solved.

+* adds support for ELV RS350 room climate logger, which provides 5 indoor sensors only (neither wind, pressure nor rain data).
+* directs link to weather cam inside HomeWeatherStation Dashboard to the Meteobridge Camera Service, which uploads your local weather camera pictures to the Meteobridge server in the Internet. You first have to enable this service on "Weather Net" tab.
+* adds support for IP connected Lufft WS10 stations.
+* Meteobridge on TL-MR3020v3: adds a feature that allows to act as a TFTP server to flash more TL-MR3020v3 devices into Meteobridges. All needed is to browse to "http://ip-of-your-meteobridge/cgi-bin/clone.cgi" and to follow instructions. This does not help you to flash the first TL-MR3020v3 but allows you to more easily replicate once you have one running.
-released September 6, 2014
+released December 9, 2018
-* improves overall ssh tunnel stability and detection of stalled ssh tunnels used for remote login
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO: improves tests for WiFi connection issues and rebuilding WiFi connection if needed.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: shows data overview graphs on "History" tab in imperial units, when "imperial" flag is marked.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: improves handling of "lastchart.html" pointer, which now can handle generation and FTP upload of multiple charts at same point in time (as long as FTP uploads are directly triggered by a chart generation event).
+* fixes bug that limits firmware updates for Meteostick to version 2.5.1 instead of using newest version 2.5.2
+* adds support for Meteostick firmware updates to TL-MR3020v3 platform.
-released August 27, 2014
+released December 5, 2018

-* fixes a bug that halts data logging when defining long e-mail bodies (>2000 bytes) or using single quotes (') in e-mails. This bug fix allows to send HTML emails as described [http://forum.meteohub.de/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=9898&p=15768#p15768 here].
+released December 3, 2018
+* Meteobridge PRO and NANO: changes code to potentially improve WLAN long-term stability.
+* Meteobridge PRO & NANO SD: when calling a chart, URL parameter "sensormap" allows to use alternative sensors instead of the ones programmed in the chart definition. Assume a chart shows data for "thb0" and "th0" then adding "&sensormap=th1,thb9" to the chart URL will make the chart to show data for "th1" instead of "th0" and data for "thb9" instead of "thb0". This is an easy work-around to avoid definition of duplicated charts for various sensors of the same kind.
+* Meteobridge NANO: changes reboot handling slightly.
-released August 9, 2014
-* improves reconnect to gateway server after reboot (makes sure previous tunnel is removed before establishing new one)

-released August 6, 2014
-* fixes a bug that might prevent triggering events on distinct time of day
-* allows to reach Meteobridge web interface from the Internet without tweaking your router. This option is disabled per default to maximize your security. Option to give "smartbedded UG" exclusive access has been dropped in favor to this more general solution. Login from the Internet will be done by a special URL (only known to the Meteobridge owner) and is also subject to the Meteobridge web interface password. It is highly recommended to set that password before enabling Internet login.
-[[File:remote-login.png]]

+* [[File:hws1.png|right|450px]]Meteobridge NANO SD: We did a port of Brian's famous HomeWeatherStation template to run on the NANO SD. To have this activated it just needs you to select "Local Dashboard" on "Weather Network" tab and then to give it an upload interval. In order to have current conditions and forecast information on the dashboard, you need to signup to DarkSky an CheckWX services, both free of charge for private use. The HomeWeatherStation dashboard receives historical data from the NANO SD database and makes use of the Meteobridge charting engine powered by the amcharts JavaScript package. Dashboard can be used locally in your LAN but also from the Internet by a remote link. To access the dashboard no credentials of the Meteobridge admin web interface are needed. Dashboard also adapts to mobile devices. This is the first time we offer a powerful dashboard, locally hosted on a Meteobridge without any need for setting up a web server. We hope you enjoy this feature and I have to say a big thanks to Brian, who was so generous to allow me to bundle his template with the Meteobridge software in order to make it most easy for you to use. In case of technical interest you can download my adaption of HomeWeatherStation template from [http://content.meteobridge.com/files/hwslocal.tgz here]. Let us realize for a moment that all this is provided by a stamp-sized module in the back of a Davis console! Future is now ;-)

+* [[File:consoleread.png|right|500px]]adds feature to transfer rain totals for day, month, year from Davis Vantage/Vue console to Meteobridge. Not supported on Meteobridge PRO.
+* adds feature to transfer min/max data of some sensors from Davis Vantage/Vue console to Meteobridge. This is recommended for initial setup only as it might result into inconsistencies (thb0seapress data is provided, but no thb0press data) and it will also erase date/time stamps for those sensors as the console does not provide date/time stamps for all min/max values). Not supported on Meteobridge PRO.
+* Meteobridge NANO: adds a feature to compensate for heating-up the console a bit by the NANO plug-in. This results into higher indoor temp readings as they actual are. An offset to compensate for that can be specified in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Recommended value is -6° Fahrenheit.
+released August 25, 2018
+* adds support for HTTPS URLs for grabbing web cam pictures.

It is mainly a full Meteobridge shrunk to stamp size and serving as a plug-in for Davis Vantage/Vue consoles. It can't be easier to bring a Davis station into the Internet with all the features a Meteobridge has to offer.</div>
+released August 24, 2018
+* improves handling of min/max time stamps. In case sensor is not there a request for the timestamp of a min/max event does now correctly default to the replacement string.
+* Meteobridge PRO: adds "[sun0total-daysum.2:0.0]" to realtime.txt template in order to support 3rd party sunshine sensors for Davis Vantage.
+released August 17, 2018
+* some changes in handling data coming in over a TCP/IP socket connection. This should reduce logger disconnect/connect cycles when being connected with a Davis WLIP device.
+* skips an demanded updating of Davis console time/date when difference is less than 60 seconds. This helps to reduce write cycles on flash storage in Davis console.
+released August 15, 2018
+* fixes a bug that Davis console initialization remains incomplete when all setup options are selected.
+* adds a feature to set logging interval of the Davis data logger. This interval is meaningless for Meteobridge operation (as Meteobridge does not rely on the Davis logger) but might be interesting, when a PC connects directly via port 22222 to the Davis logger.
+released August 14, 2018
+* improves Davis console initialization code to better handle when console is in manual setup mode and does not respond to remote setup commands. In case of a failed remote setup this will be noticed in the "system messages" field.
+* adds information about usage of Davis repeaters and retransmit settings of Davis console in "system messages" field.
+released August 12, 2018
+* [[File:fastlink.png|right|450px]] support for AWEKAS fast link. When using an AWEKAS subscription-based "station web" service you can upload data in intervals down to every 30 seconds. All you need is to set the corresponding mark and to add your individual fastlink key to the AWEKAS credentials on your Meteobridge "weather network" tab.
+* adapts Davis Vantage forecast text regarding expected North directed wind shifts, which need to be directed to the South when station is located on the south globe.
+released July 26, 2018
+* fixes a bug on platforms TL-MR3020v3 and TL-WR902AC that inhibited to make use of a bridged device on the Meteobridge LAN port by Meteobridge itself. Example: Meteobridge is connected via WiFi to your LAN and has a webcam directly connected to its LAN port. So far on TL-MR3020v3 and TL-WR902AC this webcam has been connected with the LAN fine (when bridge mode on Meteobridge is enabled on "Network" tab) but Meteobridge itself was not able to connect to it (while every other device in your LAN could). This bug is fixed now. Please note that only the mentioned new platforms have been impacted by that.
+released July 20, 2018
+* switches over to a new latitude/longitude reference web page on "system" tab as the former one was restricted to certain countries in the course of GDPR.
+* fixes a newly introduced bug in the twitter services.
+released July 8, 2018
+* [[File:windcal.png|right|350px]]adds a calibration factor for wind speed on "weather station" page. Please use this option with care and only when you are sure the factor does really apply. It is much better to reposition your anemometer or to live with lower wind readings when anemometer cannot be positioned better.

+* [[File:tl-mr3020v3.png|right|250px]]todays release of a new firmware version (1.3) for TP-Link MR3020 V3 '''** WHICH NOW ALSO SUPPORTS WIFI **''' gives Meteobridge a cheap, capable and world-wide available Meteobridge platform for years to come. Compared to the legacy MR3020 we have double the ROM/RAM and we don't no longer need any USB hubs in order to have a USB weather station connected. When you had a former Meteobridge firmware installed on MR3020 V3 we strongly recommend to upgrade to the new one. Doing so will need to have your license adapted. Please contact "info(at)meteobridge.com" by providing the MAC of your unit, we will swap the license to the newly flashed MR3020 V3. Please visit hardware section to understand how to flash a MR3020 V3 and where to find the firmware image.
+released March 11, 2018
+* Meteobridge PRO: optimizes memory usage to better support large sensor array setups.
+* some minor additions to Dutch language support
+released March 10, 2018
+* adds template variable expressions "[mbsystem-primarysensors:]" and "[mbsystem-noprimarysensors:]" to control inside a template if "0" sensors (like th0, wind0, rain0, etc) should be replaced by sensors defined on "Live Data" tab as primary or taken literally. The mentioned template expressions are evaluated to the empty string and thereby do nothing directly in your template but control how variables are evaluated as a side effect.
+* Centrally hosted upload template for "Hetweeractuel" has been updated to use primary sensors: http://templates.meteobridge.com/hetweeractueel.template
+released March 4, 2018
+* fixes a factor 10 bug on solar radiation measurement for WH2308 / 4000 weather stations.
+released March 3, 2018
+* adds new sensor type "lgt" for handling lightning events as provided by WeatherFlow AIR station. "lgt0dist" return distance in kilometers, "lgt0energy" the strength of the strike and "lgt0total" number of lightning strikes for a given time period. Template section of the wiki has also been updated accordingly.
+released February 28, 2018
+* [[File:meteoagro.png|right|200px]]adds weather network "Meteoagro NET"
+released February 24, 2018
+* [[File:wflogo.png|right|200px]][[File:wflow-300.png|right|200px]] adds full support for WeatherFlow AIR and SKY stations. Although these stations are part of your LAN/WLAN Meteobridge does not need to know their IP. This is a cool feature made possible by the station that sends data out as UDP broadcasts. Backside of this very convenient technique is, that the data cannot be routed and by that Meteobridge cannot connect to a WeatherFlow station outside the local LAN/WLAN.
+* adds a feature to address the sensors marked on "Live Data" tab as primary in template definitions. Please read details here...<BR>Since version 3.6 Meteobridge also supports selection of a sensor which has been defined on "Live Data" tab as primary. When no primary selection has been made all the "0" sensors (like "th0temp", "wind0wind", etc) are primary by default. But when you select "th3temp" as primary sensor and by that its data is reported as your stations outdoor temperature to all the weather networks, then you can now also select the primary sensor in your template definitions by selecting it as the "*" sensor. For example: "th*temp" selects the sensors defined as the primary outdoor temp sensor. When you use "[th*temp-act:--]" you get the current temperature of your primary outdoor temp sensor. This will be a synonym to "[th0temp-act:--] as long as you have not selected another sensor as primary outdoor temp sensor. But when you have selected "th3temp" to be the primary outdoor temp sensor, then "th*temp" will reference to "th3temp" instead of "th0temp". Please be aware that Meteobridge versions before version 3.6 will fail to evaluate "*" sensors. Therefore, it is recommended to provide both notations in a template and to make use of the conditional evaluation as explained in a later chapter. Here is an example that takes "th0temp" as default outdoor sensor on older Meteobridge versions and newer "th*temp" notation on current ones: <font face="Courier"><span style="background-color:lightgrey;">#if{*[mbsystem-swversion:1.0]>=3.6*}#then#outdoor temp: [th*temp-act:--]°C#else#outdoor temp: [th0temp-act:--]°C#fi#</span></font face>
+released February 23, 2018

+released February 5, 2018
+* fixes a bug with TL-WR902AV that has prevented from using LAN bridging mode when connected via WiFi.
+* Meteobridge PRO: Adds feature to nest two levels of template variable replacement. Please read details how this works and what it can be good for [http://forum.meteohub.de/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=12681&p=24543#p24543 here].
+released February 3, 2018
+* [[File:ssidlist.png|right|200px]]fixes a bug on TL-WR902AC platform that has limited WiFi operation to 5 GHz only.
+* improves scan for existing WiFi by also showing RF band (2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz) in addition to SSID and signal strength.
+released January 28, 2018
+* [[File:tl-mr3020v3.png|right|250px]]Support for version 3 hardware of the TL-MR3020 from TP-Link has been added. This support does come with two caveats:
+** As we are lacking reliable working Open Source WiFi drivers for this new device, Meteobridge can currently offer LAN operation only. It remains unclear if/when this limit can be lifted.
+** The stock firmware only accepts updates of TP-Link signed updates. By that the Meteobridge firmware cannot be flashed to the device by the web interface. To work around this you have to setup of a TFTP server on your PC that provides the Meteobridge firmware for flashing. Flashing itself is easy, but it needs you to setup the TFTP server first.
+* You find a description how to flash the MR3020v3 in the "Preparing Hardware" section and can have a look at the hardware details of this new platform in "hardware" section. First tests indicate that this version 3 of the MR3020 does no longer need a USB hub to connect to the weather stations, which is nice. As Meteobridge support for MR3020v3 is brand new, there will for sure still be some bugs. We are happy when you report those in the forum, so that we can get rid of them fast. As with all new ports, please be a bit patient if it takes a few days until an issue is solved.
+released January 27, 2018
+* some minor bug fixes on the new Meteobridge release for TL-WR902AC platform.
+* fixes a bug with the firmware download links on "Preparing Hardware" page.
+* adds Turkish language option and improves Dutch language support.
+released January 24, 2018
+* [[File:tl-wr902ac.png|right|250px]]New hardware TL-WR902AC from TP-Link has been added to the list of supported devices. "Hardware" section and "Preparing Hardware" section are updated and explain how to flash these devices. The WR902 offers twice the RAM and Flash-ROM compared to MR3020, which makes developing SW for it a bit more relaxed. Feature-wise Meteobridge on this device is identical to all the other non-pro Meteobridge platforms. While WR902AC is able to operate on the 5 GHz band Meteobridge is currently only operating in the standard 2.4 GHz Band. This shouldn't be an issue as there are rarely any 5 GHz only WLANs and 2.4 GHz has anyway better RF reach and we don't really need top speed for Meteobridge operation. If the WR902AC also needs a USB hub to connect to USB 1.x weather stations is not known yet. It also has an Atheros chip, but it is another model and may be the drivers for this model do it right now... we 'll see. The port to WR902AC made switching from openwrt to lede on OS level necessary, so we had to setup a complete new compile chain. Therefore, the port might still have some bugs. If you discover some bugs, please report and please be a bit patient if fixing takes a few days. Currently the WR902AC is sold as hardware revision 1.x. You can see from the TP-Link pages that they are preparing to release a version 3 model, which seems to use different hardware. So take your chance to get a version 1 WR902AC which are widely available on world-wide level right now.

+* reduces pointless writing of same sensor values into internal storage every few seconds for WMR-300 weather station. Now data in Meteobridge is only updated when sensor data has changed or 50 seconds have passed. By that storage consumption is reduced without compromising on tracking fast sensor data changes.
+* adds support for Oregon Scientific low budget weather station WMR-89. Support is still experimental, but we have been asked many times to support this station, which we now do :-)
+released January 8, 2018

+* Meteobridge PRO: Does show size and free space of backup media when initiating a backup. Messages section on "System" tab will provide this information.
+released January 2, 2018
+* adds "MMM" template variable to report month as English three letter abbreviation ("Jan", "Feb", etc).
+* adds multiplier to template variable converter. For example: Converter "F10" reports temperature in degrees Fahrenheit multiplied by 10. That way template variables can report current outdoor temp in 1/10 of degrees Fahrenheit ("th0temp-act=F10") or daily rain fall in 1/100 inch ("rain0total-sumday=in100").

+* [[File:bandwidth2.png|right|500px]]renames Meteostick RF bandwidth options from "narrow / normal / wide" to "direct / via console". "direct" (which corresponds to formerly "narrow") has to be used when receiving data directly from the Davis sensors or from an external Davis repeater. When packets retransmitted from the Davis console should be read, option "via console" has to be used. This is identical to formerly used option "normal". Option "wide" has been dropped, as it has shown not to be useful in Davis RF context.
+* [[File:webcamio.png|right|500px]]adds support for "webcam.io" service, which users might use as replacement for to be terminated "Weather Underground Camera" service. Just setup a FTP cam upload service within Meteobridge and give this as path: <pre>ftp://user:password@ftp.webcam.io:21/mycam-[YYYY][MM][DD]-[hh][mm].jpg</pre>Prerequisite is that you have setup a free test account at webcam.io as explained here: www.webcam.io

-* introduces a new firmware for TP-Link MR3020 platform that no longer needs a USB hub to connect to majority of USB devices. To do a firmware update of your TP-Link MR3020 do the steps outlined at the end of this paragraph, but please keep in mind that you do this at your own risk. In the unlikely event that you brick the unit by this, it is your damage. If you don't want to take the risk, stay with the current firmware. Updating firmware does not void your Meteobridge license, your unit will stay licensed as it has been before, but it will delete all your local settings, so you are again back to factory defaults after this.
-** download firmware 1.4: [http://www.meteohub.de/files/meteobridge-tl-mr3020-v1.4.bin meteobridge-tl-mr3020-v1.4.bin]
-** browse to "http://ip-of-your-meteobridge/cgi-bin/fwupdate.cgi" (please don't type this literally, but insert the LAN IP of your Meteobridge)
-** insert your Meteobridge web interface password
-** unselect "keep setting" flag
-** browse to downloaded 1.4 firmware
-** press "flash image" button
-** confirm on next page and wait until Meteobridge reboots (will take 2 minutes).
-** as a side effect all settings you made so far are lost, so you have to restart your configuration from scratch again
-* TP-Link WR703N also has a USB fixed firmware version 1.4 available: [http://www.meteohub.de/files/meteobridge-tl-wr703n-v1.4.bin meteobridge-tl-wr703n-v1.4.bin]. Procedure to update firmware is identical to MR3020 as explained above.

-released March 8, 2014
-* fixes a bug that prevents from reading Vantage firmware version when version text provides only one decimal
+released October 11, 2017
+* does up to 3 retries on sending SMS. This handles spare situations where contact to SMS service does fail on first attempt caused by routing or Internet time out problems.
+* Meteobridge PRO: enhances "@YYYY" addressing schema to be used with template variables. When "YYYY" is not defining a valid year but is in the range of "0000" to "0010" then "0000" is interpreted as the current year, "0001" as the previous year and so on. In that situation the 4 digit number expresses how many years to skip into the past. These skips need to be in 4-digit style, leading zeros are not allowed to be omitted.
+* Meteobridge PRO: more robust execution of database repair tasks.
+* fixes bug in testing HTTPS connections on "Weather Networks" tab for services "Meteotemplate" and "Home Weather Station".
+* fixes a bug with Oregon WMR-300 station in regard how to handle wind chill computation when primary outdoor temp/hum sensor does not deliver data.
-released March 7, 2014
-* increased http request timeout from 5 to 10 seconds to cover weatherbug's http performance issues
-* fixes unmotivated rain fall spikes on USB-connected Accurite stations
-* allows to deselect UV sensors for Fine Offset / Ambientweather stations in order to avoid UV phantom sensor data
+released September 30, 2017
+* fixes a bug that stalls SFTP uploads on DIR-505 platform
-released February 27, 2014
-* some slight storage usage optimizations to give Meteobridges connected to a "Accurite Internet Bridge" a bit more of RAM headroom, which is needed for uninterrupted Meteoplug upload use. Reading data from the "Accurite Bridge" pushes Meteobridge to the limit as it needs a rather large library being loaded to intercept the TCP/IP traffic and to sniff the weather data payload from the TCP/IP packets.
+released September 29, 2017
+* [[File:sftp1.png|right|500px]][[File:sftp2.png|right|500px]]adds SFTP upload option. This supports password protected SFTP upload only (no key based upload). SFTP upload services can be selected like FTP upload, parameters are the same. Implementation is still regarded beta. FTPS (aka FTP via TLS) is not supported. An option to test a SFTP connections is added at the bottom of the "services" tab.
+* more nicely adapts HTTP timeout settings to given send intervals. This means tighter timeouts are applied for rapid sending and more relaxed timeout apply when data is sent just every 30 seconds or even less often. Maximum timeout is 13 seconds. A URL not answering in that interval can be regarded broken (even on slow cellular networks).
-released February 20, 2014
-* fixes a bug in regard to indoor temp/baro data of Acurite USB weather stations

-released February 6, 2014
-* adding support for 3h, 6h, 12h, 24h rain totals based on a rolling time frame (not just daily values). New template variables are: sum1h, sum3h, sum6h, sum12h, sum24h. These values are available for use in templates and CWOP now also receives 24h rain totals ("p" parameter).
+released September 10, 2017
+* [[File:humstretch.png|right|250px]]does no longer report temperature as dew point when humidity is at 0%. Behavior is altered, so that no dew point value is reported, when humidity is at 0%. This is because there is no dew point without humidity. When you urgently need some kind of dew point even when your humidity sensor reports zero, you can adapt humidity stretch as follows. A value of "0" will then be mapped to "1".
-released February 5, 2014
-* changes FTP upload timeout from 10 to 20 seconds in order to support uploads via low bandwidth Internet connections
-* fixes a timezone related bug regarding daily rain upload to CWOP
+<div style="border:5px; border-color:#E0E0E0; background-color: #E0E0E0;">[[File:mr3020-v19.jpg|right|250px]]'''Firmware Image Update September 9, 2017'''<BR>
+We got notice that TP-Link changed the NOR flash storage in some of the newer hardware batches named Rev 1.9 (see picture on the right) of the MR3020. Unfortunately, this chip is not supported by the Linux kernel we use in our current Meteobridge firmware and the unit will not boot. But we were lucky enough to patch the kernel this evening, so that the new chip is now recognized and Meteobridge firmware in new [http://www.meteohub.de/files/meteobridge-tl-mr3020-v1.5.bin version 1.5] is now doing well again. For those who flashed one of the impacted MR3020 with Meteobridge firmware 1.4 the sad message is, that the unit is bricked. I just posted an instruction in the forum how to resurrect the device without opening it, but it is more for the hardcore techie: http://forum.meteohub.de/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=12318&p=23502#p23502<BR>
+I am sorry for the hassle, but we cannot foresee, what TP-Link will surprise us with.... all we can do is to solve issues pretty fast, which I think we did.</div>
-released January 27, 2014
-* includes URLs to predefined Meteoplug graphs into template feature. Variables are "mbsystem-graphA", "mbsystem-graphB", ..., "mbsystem-graphH". Details can be found [http://meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/Templates#System_Variables here].
+released August 17, 2017
+* adds template variables "daylengthmin", "civillengthmin", "nauticallengthmin" which report length of shortest day (December 21) of the current year at the given longitude/latitude.
+* adds template variables "daylengthmax", "civillengthmax", "nauticallengthmax" which report length of longest day (June 21) of the current year at the given longitude/latitude.
+* adds converters "secs", "mins", "hours" to be applied to daylength results. Converter returns a floting point number that defines the time period in seconds, munites or hours instead of the standard "HH:MM" format. This makes it more easy to to math between time durations. Example: Template string "{* [mbsystem-daylengthmax=mins.0] - [mbsystem-daylength=mins.0] *0}" returns number of minutes the current day is shorter than longest day of the year.
+* adds an option to specify number of leading zeros when using decimals specifier. "{*([mbsystem-daylengthmax=mins.0]-[mbsystem-daylength=mins.0])/60*00t}:{*([mbsystem-daylengthmax=mins.0]-[mbsystem-daylength=mins.0])%60*00t}" returns lost daytime compared to longest day of the year in "HH:MM" notation. "*00t}" sets output to 2 digits filled up with leading zeros ("00") if necessary and does not do rounding but cuts of decimals ("t").
-released January 18, 2014

+released July 1, 2017
-* adding the option to use images located by a URL for weather data annotation.
+* [[File:wurainrate.png|right|300px]]adds an option to send true rain rate data to WU instead of cumulated rain of last 60 minutes. Default Meteobridge upload of cumulated rain is in line with WU specification but some users requested to see rain data on WU as on their console. This can now be realized by setting the switch to "alternative rain rate".

-released October 1, 2013
-* fixing a bug impacting Fine Offset stations (WH-1080, etc) support on Asus platform.
+released June 18, 2017
+* improves algorithm to compute station pressure from SLP as reported by Vantage. Normally, Meteobridge directly requests station pressure from Vantage by means of LOOP2 protocol. But there might be situations where Vantage console is on old firmware level (below 1.9) not supporting LOOP2 or when Meteobridge acts as a slave to a PC weather program emulating a WLIP device and by that might not get LOOP2 packets. Please understand that back computation of station pressure from SLP is not perfect as average humidity and temperature of last 12h hours is not avail to Meteobridge. When you are operating in higher altitudes be prepared that some variation will occur. You can compensate by pressure adjustments on "station" tab.
-released September 28, 2013
-* fixing a bug impacting ELV WDE1 support.

Evaluation of number blocks inside date/time stamp start at the end with "minutes", then "hour", "day", "month", "year". blocks omitted will be replaced by current data.
+* introduces limited time frame for update support. Free updates are available for first 2 years after license purchase. Having passed that period an update license that covers another two years of free update service can be purchased for 19 Euros. Purchase can be made within the Meteobridge application via a PayPal button. Being out of update services users will stick to their current version, which will stay operational. Bug fixing and trouble shooting will focus on new versions, there are no plans on back-porting bug fixes or deploying new features to older versions. Meteobridge PROs are not subject of these changes, they still get all updates for free.
-* adds "Meteoplug Cloud Graphing" as an option to send weather data to. This allows to log every single piece of data the weather station does hand over to Meteobridge onto Meteoplug cloud and to provide a wide range of user-defined graphing options for it. Provides Live-Data dashboard in the Internet for your station as a free add-on from Meteoplug cloud service (no subscription required for this).<br />[[File:dashboard.png]]
-* add a more powerfull trigger mechanism for alarms, that supports evaluation of arithmetic and logical expressions

+released April 28, 2017
-* resets Meteobridge back to "Factory Defaults" when pressing the reset button until LED blinks for 5th time. Meteobridge will reboot automatically.
+* Meteobridge PRO: improves display operation. While default display scripts show weather data on the display in a loop for a period of 5 minutes, there are now script variants available that run throw the loop only one time and switch off display after that. These variants end with "once" in the drop-down list, where you select the display scripts. When you trigger these scripts every 2 minutes, you get about 40 seconds of data being displayed, then display goes off and starts again displaying data when 2 minutes are passed. This helps reducing screen wear-out while still providing you with data on the display.<BR>[[File:once-display-scritp.png|450px]]
-* supports Acurite Internet Bridge device on experimental level. Meteotridge needs to be in WLAN mode and must have "LAN Bridge" option enabled. Acurite Internet Bridge has to be directly connected to Meteobridge via Ethernet cable. This setup allows to use all features Acurite did put into Internet Bridge and to feed Meteobridge which gives even more options to make use of your weather data. Acurite 5in1 sensor and extra temperature sensors are supported.

+* Meteobridge PRO: switches OLED into sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. After that content is displayed for 3 secs every minute. When new data is sent to the display, it wakes up immediately and 5 minute countdown to sleep starts again. This measure protects display from early wear out. Timeout to sleep is hard coded and cannot be changed by the user right now.
-* adds support of triggering a user defined shell script that can incorporate weather variables. This allows to start actions on other devices by http requests initiated by the shell script.
-released June 13, 2013:

-===Version 1.0===
-* inital release
+released February 4, 2017
+* Meteobridge PRO: adds a function on "History" tab that starts a complete reconstruction of the database from the recorded hourly values. This helps in situations, when time zone has changed and as a result higher level aggregated data for days, months, etc will not have the correct time stamps anymore. The reconstruction will take some time and during that period storing new data will delayed until reconstruction has finished. Per minute data for the last hours will be lost by performing this operation. Progress of reconstruction will be reflected in messages section of "System" tab.
+* Meteobridge PRO: fixes a deficiency, that database process can run into a failure loop, when some database tables are missing (because sensors might have been deleted on "History" tab). When this happens now, one error message will be reported and database table will be setup again to allow next operation on that sensor to be successful.
+* Meteobridge PRO: adds an adjustable boot delay. This allows the Meteobridge PRO to wait 1 to 5 minutes after a restart before reaching out to the Internet. Optional boot delay can be adjusted on "System" tab.
+* summarizes repeating entries from the logger process in the messages section of "System" tab.
+* fixes a bug that did no correctly handle events "before" and "after" day break. Time stamps used for collecting associated data were not correctly used.
+released January 29, 2017
+* fixes a bug that resets timezone to UTC when doing a reboot that forces to start in "LAN DHCP client" mode. This bug did show correct timezone settings on "system" tab but UTC was actually used.
+* avoids redundant messages on "system" tab. Identical follow-up messages are replaced by a repeat notice.
+released January 22, 2017
+* fixes a frequent disconnect issue when using 3g USB dongles for Internet connectivity.

+===Version 3.1===
+released December 22, 2016
+* fixes a bug regarding  "no windchill" option on "weather station" tab. Now, when you select this option wind data gets reported even in case no temp sensor for windchill computation available. Formerly, this only worked for Meteostick operation. Now this feature can be used with all weather stations.
+released December 19, 2016

+* Meteobridge PRO: adds a new tempminmax chart template to display min/max temperature values
+* Meteobridge PRO: adds a new allinoneminmax chart template that works like "allinone" but display min/max data which is suitable when looking for summary data on daily and monthly level. This charts show min, average and max values in the legend and also presents balloon data including date/time of min max data when moving the mouse to one of the data sets. As with all Meteobridge PRO charts, they are based on Javascript, which is embedded into a regular HTML file that can be uploaded to your server and can be presented there by iframing.
+* Meteobridge PRO: reflects selection of sensors to be used as primary sensors from "Live Data" tab when plotting charts.
+* Meteobridge PRO: changes execution of export data generation which should now handle parallel triggering events with successive FTP uploads of lastexport files fine.
+released October 20, 2016
+* Meteobridge PRO: Redesign of lastchart handling to make sure chart generations executed at the same time and which triggered FTP upload events are handled the right way to avoid mixing up the order of execution. When changes have proven being bug free, same will be applied for handling data export events which currently can't be executed at the same time in parallel.
+released October 19, 2016
+* [[File:chart-gen-and-upload.png|right|550px]]Meteobridge PRO: Making use of automated chart generation and upload should now be fully supported. As there occured a few questions how to use it, I give an example on the right. As you can see, event #6 generates every full hour a chart of todays data just before the new hour shows up. This triggers event #7 which uploads the generated html chart to a web server and gives it the name "daychart-(year)-(month)-(day).html". Current data for year, month, day is inserted by means of "gnu c strftime" function, which defines "%Y" as year, "%m" as month, and "%d" as day. After successful upload, the local file on the Meteobridge PRO is deleted, as indicated by the "Delete file" mark.
+released October 17, 2016
+* Meteobridge PRO: minor bug fixes related to the introduced chart feature.
+released October 16, 2016
+* [[File:chart1.png|right]]Meteobridge PRO: initial support for generating charts. Feature is still beta, feedback from users is highly welcome. Charts can be defined on "Graphs" tab, where time period, resolution, language and chart type can be selected. Meteobridge shows chart inline and provides two URLs, where the chart can be accessed. "local URL" works in your LAN, while "remote URL" allows you to access it from the Internet, when you have remote access enabled. Charts can also be generated on "Services" tab in a periodical manner. Charts are stored as html pages in "charts" folder, which can be accessed as Meteobridge PC network folder. FTP Upload of charts is also supported, by which you can make these accessible on your web server. "chart:lastchart" mechanics can be used for an FTP upload triggered by making the chart (this works analogous to the "lastexport" item when uploading export files). There is only one chart defined right now (allinone) in iso and imperial flavor, but more to come. Chart definitions are located in "templates" folder and have extension ".chart". Meteobridge charts are based on the "amcharts.com" package which smartbedded has licensed in a redistributable way. Nevertheless, please be aware that you are not allowed to used the included chart libs for purposes outside Meteobridge. Meteobridge charts are interactive, you can select and deselect data, you can modify the time line, and much more. You find a chart generated by my Meteobridge PRO [http://tau.meteobridge.com/files/allinone-imp-min-201610150000-201610160000.html here]. Feel free to inspect it.

+released August 24, 2016
+* fixes a bug that an event which is triggered by another event might be started in reverse order.
+* fixes handling of return messages from WOW weather network.
+* fixes a bug that does not correctly start/stop logging process after making changes on "station" tab. This could have produced database locks on Meteobridge PRO systems.
+* adds time control for periodic data exports to be triggered before or after a full hour, day, month, year has been started. Example: This allows to export all data of the current day just before day has passed (option: "before day break"). To be precise, this service is triggered when the day has just passed but data taken into account is limited to the day that has just passed. This makes definition of services that intend to export data of completed days/months/years more easy and straight forward.
+* adds option to FTP upload service, that allows to automatically delete the file from export folder when file has been uploaded successfully.
+released August 17, 2016

+* larger input field for WOW site ID to better handle the new very long ID token from WOW.
+* THB sensors with missing temperature and/or humidity data are no longer added with artificial temp/hum data. Temp/hum information for these sensors are no longer provided (example: On Meteostick variable "thb0hum" is missing and on Acurite Aculink bridge "thb0temp" and/or "thb0hum" are be missing).
+* Meteobridge PRO: fixes some bugs on database requests,
+* Meteobridge PRO: adds check for RAM database consistency, when database repair option is selected.

+* increases logging timeout period of 15 secs to 20 secs in order to allow more stable WLIP uploads to Davis weather link server.
+* Meteobridge PRO: fixes error messages popping up on early 3.0 version when generating WDL exports.
+released July 12, 2016
+* Meteobridge PRO: massive rework of how data is stored. In essence there now is a pseudo persistent database keeping data in per minute resolution for the last 36 hours and a database in internal USB store that holds data on per hour/day/month/year level forever. Flash wear is reduced by about factor 60 and capacity of 8GB also looks to be overstated as USB database will grow very slowly. As so many code fractions needed to be adapted, there might still be some bugs here and there. Please report bugs to "info(at)meteobridge.com". We expect things going smooth after s short time.
+released July 6, 2016
+* adds code to terminate stalled logger processes that might keep tcp ports busy.
+released July 5, 2016
+* fixes SMS sending bug introduced with June 28 release
+released July 3, 2016
+* makes use of a vector adding method to compute average wind direction. Result is no longer restricted to a fixed number of direction buckets (have been 16 in the past)
+* Meteobridge PRO: in order to eliminate the USB flash defects which are likely to occur after a certain time of use, we decided to dramatically reduce update interval of the internal database. Now data is only written every 15 minutes to the internal database. When this works flawless, update interval is planned to be further extended to every hour. As a result database will no longer provide per minute data. Nevertheless, the current 24h data will be available in RAM, so min/max/avg data of last minutes hours can still be computed correctly. RAM data also survives controlled reboots. Impact of stripping away the per minute database representation in regard to template variables is described in the Template section of the wiki.
+===Version 2.9===
+released June 28, 2016
+* fixes a bug which sometimes stalls https requests and by that blocks all uploading.

+* adds Dutch WOW-NL network, which runs a partnership with UK WOW office.
+* Meteobridge PRO: write frequency of "non-weather" data like signal level, battery level, all the system information is reduced to every 5 minutes instead of every minute. That reduces write load and write volume in regard to the database significantly and makes database operations more crisp and reduces "database locked" situations.
+released March 28, 2016
+* adds "=apm" converter to template variables about sun/moon rise and set times.
+* [[File:windchill.png|right|]]adds option on "Station" tab not to compute wind chill. This is useful when you don't have a temp sensor and wind speed recording will be blocked while waiting for an outdoor temp sensor to show up in order to compute wind chill correctly.
+released March, 26, 2016
+* allows to use "\#" in email subjects to insert a "#" into the subject field. Quoting the "#" character is needed as an unquoted "#" will indicate that subject ends and following characters are part of the email body.
