What's an alternative to wunderground.com / Weather.com that is text-only? Those exist, right? Wunderground has become steadily worse since being bought by The Weather Channel.
@33MHz We need to build a network of weather stations. I've yet to buy mine until I have time to reverse engineer and have it send to a Linux server instead of to weather underground.
@33MHz Cursory glance at those Davis units. Need to download some docs and fill in the information blanks. Saw an Ethernet option. Hope there’s actually a RJ45 port available.
@GTWilson I have an Ambient station. my internal DNS points it to the internal server which makes it think it's talking to WUnderground. 8051-based, RJ-45. /@33MHz
@33MHz no. I already have internal DNS for the secured non-routable network, so it was just a matter of adding another zone. I don't use WU for anything so no loss. /@GTWilson
@doctorlinguist I think the screen saver on our Roku hits wunderground for it's temperature and humidity data. It would not be a crippling loss. / @33MHz
@GTWilson@33MHz seems like a simple matter of having the Roku connect to a "proper" DNS. this could be automated with DHCP even (the same box hands out leases).
@doctorlinguist Or we could just ignore the Roku and look at the weather station in the sunroom for the temperature, barometric pressure and humidity. @33MHz
@33MHz The second something like that gets absorbed by a larger corporation, I start looking for alternatives because it always devolves over the long haul.
