Cumulus on my website
Posted: Thu 13 Jun 2013 8:17 am
I thought others might be interested to see how I incorporated cumuls and the live weather station data into my website.
Nerja Weather Forecast. This page has a weather forecast incorporated with the realtime data from Cumulus, so it shows the current live temperature along with the forecasts. Further down the page I also have a couple of the live steelseries gauges (added as an iframe).
Nerja Live Weather. On this page I have all the steelseries gauges, again using an iframe.
On the top of the page on the header I also have the live temperature showing. The live temps come from the realtime.txt string.
The code also checks if the weather station is not working/not supplying live data and switches to a different source for the temp. If this happens it also sends me an email saying the weather station is down. Cumulus is running on an old mini-laptop and has been continuously for around 12 months. In that time it has crashed once needing a re-install, but otherwise is very reliable.
Next project is to add another page with the historical data.
If anyone has any questions about the code used please feel free to ask.
