Just manual atm until I can work out the AWS linking!


There are potentially two ways of doing an upload from the Weatherlink
software (in addition to entering observations manually that is). One is
to perform an upload of a WL archive file - you have to perform this
upload manually, but it obviously is a way of uploading a batch of
records in one go. If you're content to do this manually say once or
twice a day then in this sense WL is already compatible with WOW.

But if you want to upload 'current conditions' data frequently and
automatically, say hourly or every 10 mins then WL doesn't provide this
facility directly and as Will correctly says instead you need to use an
add-on. I've got a prototype (a native Windows application) here that
does just this but it needs to be tested further and made a bit more
flexible as yet.

I've been using Weather Display for a number of years now. This can be
organised to send data to a website as often as you like. It uploads a
"Current" page for me every 15 minutes throughout the 24hrs. I would
expect this to be usable for sending data to WOW, possibly with some
fiddling to get the data into the right form.
