Hi all,
Below is a vb.net script (save it with a .vb extension) to update Weather Underground (WU) with local weather data. Since I used Oregon Scientific sensors with the RFXCom plugin, I did not have a direct way to upload sensor data to WU and therefore created this script. To use it, you need to have a WU account and station set up. You'll need to modify the script with your own station ID and password, along with the device IDs of your own weather devices. Since WU expect data based on specific units of measure, I had to use formulas to change the values RFXCom reports to ones that WU needs. Depending on how you have your devices configured, you may need to alter or eliminate those formulas. How WU expects data is explained here: http://wiki.wunderground.com/index.p...pload_Protocol.
Cheers
Al
