http://wiki.wunderground.com/index.php/PWS_-_Upload_Protocol seems to suggest we can send:

indoortempf - [F indoor temperature F]
indoorhumidity - [% indoor humidity 0-100]

Can I propose the following additions to fowsr.h wug_format[] ...

        {"indoorhumidity", WS_HUMIDITY_IN    , ub , WS_SCALE_DEFAULT        , WS_OFFSET_DEFAULT},       // - [%]
        {"indoortempf"   , WS_TEMPERATURE_IN , ss , WS_SCALE_C_TO_F         , WS_OFFSET_C_TO_F},        // - [temperature F]

... or perhaps there's some good reason why fowsr doesn't already send these? Perhaps wunderground drops / ignores / errors on them despite documenting them?

Many thanks, neat little bit of software!

Hi Nick,

I didn't create the software, I only extended it. That's why I don't know why the indoor values are omitted. Maybe because they have nothing to do with the weather at your loaction? Maybe some people don't like to publish their room conditions as others could see if they are at home or not? I'll think about it.

Hi Nick,

 You could easily add the indoor temperature the way you suggest. However, I do not see the point in sending this temperature, it has no relevance outside your house. In addition, there is no graphical display for it.
