      @sdetweil Totally agree and understand. The amount of work that’s gone into this is awesome.

        For me it’s the same Problem.
        My new Weatherstation can upload the dato to Ecowitt, Wunderground, Weathercloud, WOW an all Servers with the Ecowitt oder Wunderground protocol.
        The problem is to find a working module to get my weather data on the mirror.
        The biggest problem - i cannot code.

            @c1olli @chanster but its worse than that… the service no longer exists for free, AND the data has changed…
            and any other provider the data has changed… so its almost a complete rewrite

              Ive been wanting to change over to Wundergorund Data just havent got around to looking into it as I also want to display my station data rather than the official observations which are a good 20km from my location.

              Im not a coder but have managed to bumble my way through modifying the weather module from the WallberryTheme for MM to work with the Australian BOM data, its not a user friendly implementation but it works.
              @chanster I jumped in not knowing anything about Node JS and just started playing with it seeing what did what and eventually got what I wanted out of it.
              So… take stab at it clone a Wunderground repository on github and just start looking at the code and and let it speak to you.

              But if that doesnt work for you I want to get a Wunderground module working on my MM so will be looking into it shortly. Ive got a pressing project Im working on that I hope to get finished in the next couple of weeks after that I will be looking into it. If you (or anyone else) would like to help out who knows what we will be able to achieve.
              You can see what Ive done with the Wallberry theme weather module https://github.com/saabman/BOMAU-weather and keep an eye out for when I get started on the Wunderground module.

                @Saabman Thanks for sharing your experience ! I will absolutely take your suggestion and start poking around. As I’m new to MM, I wanted to get an operational dashboard up and running and now that I have, I can go and see if I can get WU to work as you’ve suggested.

                My current workaround to get my weather station data into MM is via Home Assistant (HA). I have a plug-in for HA that brings WU data into my HA dashboard. I’m using the MMM-HomeAssistant module to push that over to my MM dashboard.

                  @sdetweil Sorry but the new API is free at all. Look at the german FHEM group. I use it there and it works absolutely perfect. Here is only the changed API the problem for the module. They have all written in Perl. Unfortunately I can’t really program it to work.

                    It’s nice to find some guys with the same problem.
                    My Son showed me yesterday a little bit about programming - but without any knowlege about programming it’s not easy.
                    For my weatherstation (Froggit WH4000ws, same as ELV WS980 and Fine Offset WH2350) are two ways possible - direkt from the station oder via a provider (Wunderground, Wethercloud and Ecowitt, WOW).
                    It would be nice to have a working solution.

                      One way I forgot.

                      Upload the data to openweathermap and use a module it is working with, but I was unable to connect my weather station to openweathermap.

                        @chanster Thats one way to get around it.

                        Ive just been having a look at it this evening. I found the new API Documentation https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KGb8bTVYRsNgljnNH67AMhckY8AQT2FVwZ9urj8SWBs/edit

                        I punched my details in along with my API key just into my browser and it returned the data in JSON format which looked good so it shouldnt take too much to modify it to work again.
