Set Up Meteobridge Live Sync

Use this guide if you want Meteobridge to push live observations into Meteobreeze over HTTP.

Meteobridge sends a request whenever your event fires. Meteobreeze receives the packet, stores the current values, and rolls the data into the live dashboard.

When to use it

• You use Meteobridge as your station bridge or automation layer
• You want live data flowing into Meteobreeze without custom scripting
• You want to send metric values directly from Meteobridge

Before you start

• Create a live source in Meteobreeze
• Copy the generated ingest URL
• Make sure your station is already set up

Tag mapping

Meteobridge uses template placeholders inside the HTTP request URL. Meteobreeze expects these canonical fields:

Official Meteobridge reference: Templates

Step-by-step

1. Open Meteobridge and confirm Live Data shows plausible current values.
2. Go to Services > Events.
3. Under Select Service, choose an HTTP request event and add it.
4. Choose a periodic trigger and set its interval to one minute.
5. Paste the complete Meteobreeze URL into the HTTP request field. Do not open the unexpanded URL in a browser or edit its query parameters.
6. Set the success string to ok. Meteobreeze returns JSON containing "ok": true after accepting a packet.

7. Save and enable the event.
8. Use Meteobridge's Test control to trigger it immediately.
9. Open Monitoring > Upload Status, find the event, and confirm the latest invocation succeeded.
10. In Meteobreeze, confirm Last packet and recent observations update, then open /station/<slug> in a signed-out window.

Common issues

• If no packets arrive, check that the event is enabled and the URL is correct.
• If Meteobridge reports a failure, make sure the success string still matches what Meteobreeze expects.
• If sensor values are missing, inspect Station > Mapping. The generated URL uses Meteobridge's logical sensor-zero mapping, and optional solar or UV sensors may legitimately return --.
• If values such as [epoch]000 remain in the request, the event has not expanded its template. Re-paste the generated URL into an HTTP event rather than requesting it directly.
• If your values look wrong, confirm the template placeholders are outputting the units you expect before they reach Meteobreeze.
• The generated URL uses one-minute averages, minima, and maxima. Other event intervals are not supported and may produce subtle inaccuracies in time-period-based data.
• If Meteobreeze reports success but the source remains empty, verify you are looking at the same source and that the ingest key was not truncated.

FAQ

• Do I need to convert units first? No. The generated Meteobridge URL uses the expected values.
• Can I edit the URL by hand? Only if you keep the parameter names and format unchanged.
• What wind value is sent? [wind0avgwind-avg1.2:--] is the one-minute average; [wind0wind-max1.2:--] is the maximum gust from the same one-minute period.
• What does the rain total mean? [rain0total-sumday.2:--] is Meteobridge's station-day total and follows its configured day boundary.

The ingest URL contains a write-capable key. Keep it out of screenshots, support posts, and public logs.
