WeeWx data to Meteotemplate (witch method?)

[Mariete]

Hi.

Since some months ago my all data table isn’t getting updated by the cron job I used to use.

Looks to me like there are at least three ways to upload data:

- The cron job way
- The github utility
- The WeeWx built in feature

Witch one should I be using and where can I find the instructions to setup it?
Looks as in my searches I’m getting a lot of outdated information and I don’t know which one to follow.

Thank you in advance.

I installed the matthewwall/weewx-meteotemplate package from github and looks like Station is receiving data but I would like to know if this is the recomended way of doing it or if I should switch to some other method.

Thank you.

When you are using weewx for gathering data from your weather station, the weewx-meteotemplate uploader from Matthew Wall on github is the proper way. The weewx data will be sent to meteotemplates api. No cron job needed.
Currently there is no weewx build-in function for meteotemplate; you will need to install the github utility.

For your information:
Matthew Wall is developing a general upload utility for 'missed' data, which may be available in a new version of weewx. This utility must be called with a start and end date and then will send all available data to configured programs like meteotemplate or others.
