Weather34 WF API version Discontinued

Developers Third-Party Integrations
41

Good morning

finally at a level where confident of releasing two versions one uses the official Weatherflow API and the other uses the meteobridge UDP method.

both work very differently yet the display and visual side is almost identical.the API version is restricted to 1 minute update intervals as set by weatherflow themselves from there servers.

the meteobridge version is fully adjustable to suit what your server can handle in terms of update intervals in seconds. using the meteobridge does not affect in any way of sending data to the weatherflow servers it simply acts as a hub and sends the data to your hosted server.

you can also run the template locally on your desktop pc etc however you would need to simply install a remote file on your server to generate a simple text output if you do not want to run the template on a public hosted server. (you can email me for more information on this process).note this method is for running only on your local desktop enviroment.

screenshot below gives an idea of all that is required to use your weatherflow AIR+SKY combination.

both versions available via https://weather34.com/homeweatherstation/

Hello Brian

just installed your theme to see how it works. I know, most isnā€™t working as I donā€™t have the Sky ā€˜yetā€™ but still, good to learn already.
One thing I noticed already (not sure if you can call it a bug), when you ask a detailed chart when you have the light theme, the popup is again the dark theme. Is this to have a better contrast ?

all charts display in dark backgroundā€¦ however if you wish to have lightbackground charts and dark fonts feel free to edit and i should say good luck incredibly tedious adding switching based on theme selection probably more trouble than its worth hence never bothered and has always been that way for last couple of yearsā€¦ brianā€¦

was just curious and wonā€™t go fiddle with the code, most probably Iā€™d break it :slight_smile:

following is maybe a bug ?? We just had a few lightning impacts nearby and I think the module doesnā€™t follow time zone

ok lets try this im sure you can do this easily

top of the file wflightning.php

replace

<?php include('settings.php');include('shared.php');;header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');error_reporting(0);?>

with

<?php include('settings.php');include('shared.php');date_default_timezone_set($TZ);header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');error_reporting(0);?>

For the API version I am guessing we edit the settings.php and donā€™t use the easyweathersetup.php? I am checking because the easyweathersetup.php looks like is for the meteobridge setup. If I am correct can someone post a sample of a working settings.php file. That will help me figure this out I hope. If not please point me in the right direction. Thanks!

I have it all loaded to my web page which supports php. What file do I call to actually see the data? I know I am probably missing something beyond this fileā€¦

if you downloaded correct version which should be the api version just use easyweathersetup no need to edit files direct.

index.php is always the main file

please remove the api key from your post thank you.
