Here in the far western edge of the Uinta Mountains in Northern Utah, October was...
    Warmer than average (46.53°F versus an average of 41.09)
    Wetter than average (3.53 in versus an average total of 2.15)
    Calmer than average (a wind run of 2,255 miles versus an average of 3,224)

And a couple of inches of snow today!

Hello folks,
Earlier this week we moved servers. There may have been a period where we were not accessible (because I messed up the DNS). Apologies if you were hit by this outage.

WeatherCat Feature Requests / WS40 Meteotemplate v2 – open specification for weather station uploads
« Last post by lino80sa on October 30, 2026, 08:07:53 PM »
Hello,

my name is Pasqualino De Marco. I am the developer of WS40 Weather Station 40, a WordPress plugin that brings personal weather station data online, and I took over meteotemplate.com from its original author, Jachym. Many Meteotemplate users are moving to WS40.

I'm writing to let you know that the specification of WS40 Meteotemplate v2 is now published:
https://www.weatherstation40.live/developers/

It is an evolution of the Meteotemplate API:
- a simple HTTPS request with the same field names as Meteotemplate v1;
- new fields: daily maximum and minimum values with their times, rain of last month and last year, extra temperature and humidity channels, soil and leaf sensors, particulate matter and battery status;
- every value is checked against published limits, and the server answers OK on success;
- v1 stays active.

Meteobridge is already testing it in a beta. It would be great to have WS40 Meteotemplate v2 among the services WeatherCat can upload to, so WeatherCat users can publish their station on their own WordPress site. I'm happy to give you a free test account, answer any question on the specification and test a beta build.

Kind regards,
Pasqualino De Marco

WeatherCat Integration / WeatherCat to Indigo

GitHub

I used to do this via custom web (XML) and had Indigo read it via an XML plugin, this is just easier. It is in review for Indigodomo's plugin store.

Brings your weather station's live readings from WeatherCat (the macOS weather station app by Trixology) into Indigo home automation, as ordinary Indigo devices you can show on control pages, use in triggers and conditions, and log.

  • One Indigo sensor device per reading: outdoor temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, gusts and direction, rain, dew point, wind chill, heat index, cloud base, solar, UV, soil and leaf sensors… whatever your station reports.
  • Today's high and low (with the times they happened) and the change over the last hour on each reading that WeatherCat keeps statistics for.
  • A Feels Like reading: heat index when it's hot, wind chill when it's cold and windy, otherwise the air temperature.
  • A Station device with WeatherCat's current conditions, forecast, pressure trend, sunrise and sunset, triggered alerts and station communications status.
  • Values in the units you chose in WeatherCat (°F/°C, inHg/hPa/mb, mph/km/h/knots/m/s, in/mm, feet/metres).
  • Works entirely on your local network. No cloud service, account or API key.

Not affiliated with or endorsed by Trixology. WeatherCat is Trixology's product; this plugin only reads the data WeatherCat already offers to other programs.

WeatherCat General Discussion / MacOS 27
« Last post by EphraimGadsby on October 18, 2026, 10:39:58 AM »
Hi folks,

I don't use my Mac too much these days, and its primary use is to run my weather station using the awesome WeatherCat. As such, I tend to not worry too much about upgrading to new OS releases straight away, usually staying one release behind, primarily because if WeatherCat is working I leave it alone.

I've got slightly behind in this pattern now, and am currently running Sequoia. I've looked to update today, and the only OS on offer is OS27.

Is it safe to upgrade, or should I keep Sequoia secure and up to date and wait a while.

While I trust WeatherCat completely, I'm not very technically competent and I usually worry about the SI Labs driver, Python environments and Xcode issues cropping up after a new OS install.

All advice, encouragement and comforting comments welcomed.

Regards,

Ephraim.
