Network gateway for Wunderground data

[njbuch]

To be able to act on external data about the current or future weather conditions, it would make sense to make a network gateway that feeds data into mycontroller.

The wunderground data is free with less than 500 requests per day, and basic conditions can be queried easily.

@njbuch can you give some example? what are all the data you want to fetch from wunderground? and how to do via url?

[njbuch]

Using this url: http://api.wunderground.com/api/dcc70b77e58/geolookup/conditions/q/46.9646492,9.8069447.json

You get this:

}

And can extract for example "precip_1hr_metric":" 0" or "temp_c":10.7 which would be nice have as input to rules and operations.

Thank you!

Super Jeeva, looks very promising, will take it for a spin. Please note that my WunderGround API key is now deleted as it was used more than the allowed quota, please create your own for further testing... Thanks again... :)

Jeeva, this is amazing! Works exactly as expected. No glitches found, will keep using from now.
