• There is an Internet application that allows you to make a network configuration for your Meteobridge device without having that running yet. Configuration can be downloaded to USB stick and when starting Meteobridge device with this stick plugged in, it will use the stored configuration for startup.

Geplante Leistungsmerkmale

Die hier genannten, geplanten Merkmale sind unverbindlich und es wird keine Verpflichtung eingegangen, diese zru Verfügung zu stellen. Trotzdem mag es interessant sein zu wissen, woran gearbeitet wird.

• Unterstützung weiterer Wetternetzwerke

Ausgeschlossene Leistungsmerkmale

Aufgrund der Charakteristik der Meteobridge-Plattform können einige Merkmale ausgeschlossen werden:

• Da die Hardware nur 4 MB an Flash und 32 MB RAM anbietet, werden keine großen Applikationen auf dieser Hardware möglich sein. Das Erstellen von Grafiken auf der Meteobridge ist daher nicht zu erwarten oder geplant.
• Meteobridge kann Wetterdaten nicht in relevantem Umfang lokal speichern. Die lokale Speicherung beschränkt sich auf die jeweils zuletzt von der Station ausgelesenen Daten plus einige wenige kumulierte Werte für den aktuellen Tag, den Monat, das Jahr.
