WeatherBug Personal Weather Stations Phased Out

WeatherBug was purchased by EarthNetworks, and the personal weather stations WeatherBug Backyard system has been phased out. 1-Wire Weather Service for Java has not deleted support for reporting in this format, but there is no longer any reason to attempt it.

If your 1-Wire system is reporting errors while attempting to send weather data to http://data.backyard2.weatherbug.com/data/livedata.aspx, you can remove the weatherbug formatter from wxservice.formatter.task.names and apply your changes.

For more information, see Changes to the WeatherBug Backyard/Earth Networks PWS Program, and What Happened to WeatherBug?

1-Wire Weather Service for Java includes support for CWOP NOAA MADIS, so you can migrate your backyard reporting over there if you wish. Most of the default settings are already configured, so all you need to do is obtain a station ID as described here, and configure your station ID, latitude & longitude, and add the aprs formatter to the formatter task names.
