Set Up Weather Display Live Sync
Configure Weather Display to push live weather data into Meteobreeze.
Set Up Weather Display Live Sync
Use this guide if Weather Display is your station software and you want it to push live data into Meteobreeze.
Weather Display sends metric values for most fields automatically. You only need to make sure the rain unit in Meteobreeze matches the rain unit in Weather Display.
When to use it
- You use Weather Display to manage your station
- You want a simple HTTP push setup
- You want Meteobreeze to receive live packets on a schedule
Before you start
- Create a live source in Meteobreeze
- Copy the generated Weather Display URL
- Confirm the rain unit configured in Weather Display
Tag mapping
Weather Display uses fixed tags for most values and switches rain output based on the rain unit setting.

Step-by-step
- Open Weather Display.
- Go to
Control Panel>Web Files/Web Page Setup>Custom Web Page Setup. - Configure a periodic HTTP GET to the Meteobreeze URL.
- Choose the rain unit you use in Weather Display.
- Save the settings.
- Wait for the next observation or trigger a test request.
Common issues
- If rain values look wrong, the rain unit is probably mismatched.
- If packets are not arriving, check the custom web page settings and the target URL.
- If some optional fields are missing, the station may not have the relevant sensor.
- If the live data looks delayed, remember that Meteobreeze still rolls it into 5-minute historical buckets.
FAQ
- Do I need to change temperature, wind, or pressure units? No. Those values are handled as metric in this setup.
- Will changing the rain unit rewrite old data? No. It only affects future packets.
