Hey All,
I've seen a couple of the plug-ins that allow us to pull weather data from sites such as Weather.com; however, this is done only once per hour and normally from the local airport. I was sort of hoping for a more accurate reading to control items like our outside water features during times of high wind. Yesterday the plug-in stated the wind was 17mph; however, it was barely 4mph on our Oregon Scientific Weather Station.
Has anyone already developed a plug-in for pulling data from WeatherUnderground? If not, this is a site I found were people can advertise their personal professional weather stations. It appears to almost be a live feed. In my city we have over 200 members posting their information; 2 in my area. This is much more detailed and accurate than Weather.com.
I was hoping with collective brain power of the group that someone might have already developed a plug-in and/or could easily incorporate pulling information from this site into an already existing plug-in. They do have an API for those who would and/or have the brain power to develop plug-ins.
