Weather Underground → Influx DB ?

Serverless function for replicating Weather Underground data to an influxDB database.

In my case, the data goes:

  1. Gathered by Yoshiko YC9471 and sent to base station
  2. Forwarded by base station to Weather Underground
  3. Downloaded hourly by a Lambda Function in AWS
  4. Converted and forwarded to Influx DB Cloud

FAQ

Why not straight to Influx from the weather station?

Unfortunately, my station only supports Weather Underground and Weather Cloud, and I haven’t been able to get hold of the firmware to potentially modify it to upload directly.
