Station Forwarder

This code is built to be hosted on the free Google Apps Script platform. It takes in weather station data from:

• IBM Wunderground,
• MyAcurite,
• Davis WeatherLink,
• WeatherFlow Tempest,
• Ambient Weather, or
• aprs.fi (CWOP).

and periodically sends it on to

• IBM Wunderground,
• Windy.com,
• Aeris PWSWeather,
• WeatherCloud,
• OpenWeatherMap,
• WindGuru, and/or
• NOAA CWOP.

Setup

1. Create a new Google Apps Script project and give it a name
2. Overwrite the default Code.gs file with code.gs from the latest release in this repository
3. Configure the script for you:

• Choose your datasource:

  IBM Wunderground

  Uses the [IBM Wunderground](https://wunderground.com/member/api-keys) API. Note: Unfortunately, it looks like the new Wunderground API keys have started expiring 6 months after being generated, so you may need to replace the key if that happens. - Set the `datasource` to `ibm` on line 10 - Set your `ibmAPIKey` on line 12 - Set your `ibmStationId` on line 13
  MyAcurite

  Experimental. Uses the undocumented [MyAcurite](https://myacurite.com/) private API. - Set the `datasource` to `acurite` on Line 10 - Set your `acuriteUsername` on Line 15 - Set your `acuritePassword` on line 16 - Set your `acuriteHubName` (the user-set name on the internet-connected receiver) on line 17 - Set your `acuriteStationName` (the user-set name of the outdoor sensor/station) on line 18
  Davis Weatherlink

  Uses the [Davis Weatherlink](https://weatherlink.com/account) API v2. - Set the `datasource` to `davis` on line 10 - Set your `davisApiKey` on line 20 - Set your `davisApiSecret` on line 21 - Set your `davisStationName` on line 22
  Weatherflow Tempest

  Uses a [Weatherflow Tempest Personal Use Token](https://tempestwx.com/settings/tokens). - Set the `datasource` to `weatherflow` on Line 10 - Set your `weatherflowPUT` on line 24 - Set your `weatherflowSationId` on Line 25
  Ambient Weather

  Uses the [Ambient Weather](https://ambientweather.net/account) API. - Set the `datasource` to `ambient` on Line 10 - Set your `ambientWeatherStationName` on line 27 - Set your `ambientWeatherApiKey` on Line 28
  aprs.fi (CWOP)

  Uses the [aprs.fi API](https://aprs.fi/page/api) to fetch APRS packet data from a CWOP station. - Set the `datasource` to `aprs` on Line 10 - Set your `aprsStationID` on line 30 - Set your `aprsApiKey` on Line 31 from [your aprs.fi account](https://aprs.fi/account/)

• and choose one or more forwarding destinations:

  IBM Wunderground

  To send to [Wunderground](https://support.weather.com/s/article/PWS-Upload-Protocol): - Set `updateWunderground` to `true` on Line 35 - Set your `wundergroundAPIKey` on Line 36 - Set your `wundergroundStationId` on line 37
  Windy.com

  To send to [Windy.com](https://community.windy.com/topic/8168/report-your-weather-station-data-to-windy): - Set `updateWindy` to `true` on Line 39 - Set your `windyAPIKey` on Line 40 - Set your `windyStationId` on line 41. It's likely `0`, `1`, `2`, etc.
  Aeris PWSWeather

  To send to [PWSWeather](https://dashboard.pwsweather.com/): - Set `updatePWSWeather` to `true` on Line 43 - Set your `pwsWeatherAPIKey` from your station's profile page on line 44 - Set your `pwsWeatherStationID` on Line 45
  WeatherCloud

  To send to [WeatherCloud](https://app.weathercloud.net/): Retrieve your station's ID and API Key by going to [your Devices](https://app.weathercloud.net/devices), then clicking Settings → 🔌 Link on your station. - Set `updateWeatherCloud` to `true` on Line 47 - Set your `weathercloudAPIKey` on Line 48 - Set your `weathercloudID` on Line 49 - Set whether or not you have a WeatherCloud Pro or Premium account with `hasWeatherCloudPro` as `true` or `false` on line 50
  OpenWeatherMap

  Creation of a new OpenWeatherMap station must be done by API, not on the OpenWeatherMap website. More information is available in [the OpenWeatherMap Station API documentation](https://openweathermap.org/stations#create_station). The basic concept for what must be done is available in the `createNewOWMStation_()` function. Remove the `_` character from the name of that function to make it selectable from the `▷ Run` button in the toolbar. If you do so, make sure you note your new station's ID and other details in the log (available in the Executions tab in the sidebar after running!), then: - Set `updateOpenWeatherMap` to `true` on Line 52 - Set `openWeatherMapAPIKey` to your [API Key](https://home.openweathermap.org/api_keys) on Line 53 - Set your `openWeatherMapStationId` to [your OpenWeatherMap station's `external_id`](https://openweathermap.org/stations#create_station) on line 54
  WindGuru

  Send to [WindGuru](https://www.windguru.cz/map/station/): Start by [registering a new "Other / Upload API" station](https://stations.windguru.cz/register.php?id_type=16), then: - Set `updateWindGuru` to `true` on Line 56 - Set `windGuruStationUID` to your chosen [station UID](https://stations.windguru.cz/) on Line 57 - Set your `windGuruStationPassword` to your chosen [station API password](https://stations.windguru.cz/) (note, not your _account's_ password) on line 58
  NOAA Citizen Weather Observer Program (CWOP)

  Send to [CWOP](https://madis.ncep.noaa.gov/madis_cwop.shtml). Start by [registering for a new station](https://madis.ncep.noaa.gov/madis_cwop.shtml), then when you receive your email: - Set `updateCWOP` to `true` on Line 60 - Set `cwopStationIDOrHamCallsign` to your assigned CWOP station ID that you received via email on Line 61 - If you are using your ham radio callsign as your station ID and you have received a validation code from NOAA CWOP support, set `cwopValidationCode` to your validation code on Line 62

4. Run the "Schedule" function with the ▷ Run button in the toolbar. You're done! You can see it periodically running in the ☰▶ Executions tab on the left sidebar. This code is executed on Google's servers and does not require a computer to remain on.

If you ever make changes to the API keys or enabled services, just run the Schedule function again.

How to Update

1. Copy the code from code.gs in this release over your Code.gs file.
2. Make sure your API Keys and settings at the top of the file are correct and 💾 Save.
3. Run the Schedule function again with the ▷ Run button in the toolbar.
