Set up Belchertown for using Dark Sky for the time being for forecast

[D R]

Since I'm just getting my station rebuilt and set up, I cannot get an aeris key or password yet since I"m still running the station emulator and getting simulated data.  Of course with DS on the way out, I will feed pwsweather and be entitled to get a key, but so far, I'm not online.

I'd like to proceed with getting Belcherweather set up.  Pat has apparently been busy and so far hasn't answered a question I posted on his site.

In the configuration skin for Belcher, there is a section that says 'aeris' is the forecast source, but says Dark Sky for those with a still functioning API can be used, but there is no example that I can find as to what to put into those " " for DarkSky.

Has anyone set this up for DS and know what the entry should be?

Yeah 2 very young kids who demand 110% of your attention will do that. :)

DarkSky is an option in the current release, but you're probably better off to install the older 1.1 release if you really need darksky.

He'd better pay attention to them as the first and only priority! 

I may have come about a way to get Aeris to work.  I have a Campbell Scientific station that is reporting to MesoWest reliably, and no reason WD hooked to that can't send a report to the pws place that aeris needs, so I'll send stuff, get my key and enter into the forecast site. 

At least I 'think' that should work. 

And with DarkSky going away (does anyone know when?) somehing will be needed after that anyway.

Thanks for the info.  I learn every day I check in and read messages.  I am not as teachable as I was 50 years ago, but still keep trying.

Thx. Dale
