Is it possible to upload data to my website.
(html template or allsensors.txt?)

May be the newly added "template" capabilities do fit your needs. Please have a look in the updated wiki, sections "gallery" and "define chart" (at the bottom).

yes, I think so. Just the forecast icon is not supported at the moment, but I think a valuable forecast can be better received from other weather services from the internet.

Also moon/sun raise/fall is not there at the moment. When there is a great demand for this, I could do some coding, but this can also be derived from anywhere on the internet. It is not really related to someone's weather recordings ;-)

There is no "allsensors.txt" defined for Meteoplug.

But you could construct a template that contains exactly the values you are interested in and let Meteoplug fill in these. Have a look at template section of "define chart" reference. Compared to "allsensors.txt" this is more powerful as you can address any data from the database for any point in time.

Example: [-10D_day1_th0_tempmax] gives you th0 outdoor max temperature of the day, 10days ago. [20100101000000_month1_th0_tempmintime] gives the date and time of lowest temperature of January 2010. As you see, this is a more capable interface to data in the database than "allsensors.txt" based approach with meteohub.

Not all info of "allsensors.txt" is already avail by Meteotplug template mechanism, but we are still quite at the beginning with this ;-)

-data upload every 5 min.

Then i switch from meteohub to meteoplug!

Thanks for your suggestions.

1) Special variables not directly related to logged data like sun/moon rise/set are on the way.

2) FC information is not transferred so far. When this a feature important for users, I can add this. From my perspective this is more a type of ad-hoc information and does not need being stored in the database for historical analysis. I think we all know that forecast given by a local weather station is not something very reliable. I would prefer a regular forecast for this. However, bringing the forecast icon of the weather stations console to the Internet seems to have some attraction. :D

3) More frequent data uploads is something that seems to be possible, as the server already handles a few hundred of sending stations without any problem. I already thought of speeding up uploads to 5 min for registered user.
