Purpose
I had written up a script a couple of years ago to send weather data to Wunderground ( http://forums.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=107797 ). Basically it lets you specify whatever device codes you want to send, and then sends that to the Weather Underground. There was a few limitations in what I could do with the script, so I produced a simple plugin to wrap around the origional script.
Plugin Cost
FREE but donations always welcome, but not required.
FAQ
Can you add X,Y, Z data?
In most cases shouldn't be a problem, just let me know what weather data you want to send and if it's supported by Wunderground, I should be able to add it.
What version of Homeseer does this require?
Plugin utilizes .Net Framework 3.5 and has been written for Homeser 2.1 or higher.
