The official Weather Maker beta thread

[Roy G. Biv]

I tried this a couple of months ago.. I had it all set up and working and the wife says she hated looking at the tank with a light or two off. I thought it was pretty cool.

Sig,

are you still actively working on this project?

I just gave this a shot and it appears that it will only look on port 80 for connecting to my ac3. I run my ac3 on 8080

Same issue...Just hangs after I enter United States??

Does this work with apex?

Does this work with apex?

Since this thread dates back several years, and the links for download are no good, I'd say it doesn't work with Apex

I didn't know this was an option for the AC3. It would be a great addition to the Apex.

Actually, I was just thinking the other day about building a microcontroller (Arduino) that would measure the barometric pressure, once it get's below a set point it would trigger a switch connected to my breakout box.

Polling weather service boards would be another option though.

Fun stuff!

I think I'm going to email Neptunes and see if that can be an option. If they can use a query system once the apex is connected to internet, to see if it can query yahoo weather or accuweather for the sunrise and sunset times locally.

A simple option in the setting page to enter your local zipcode and a check box for turning the SUN command from the stored reef numbers to the local query numbers would be awesome.

I wouldn't do temps as all areas aren't tropical.
