Signal K Plugin for PWS Weather

In some ways, all boats are weather stations. This plugin gathers environment data from boat instruments and sends information to PWS Weather (PWSWeather.com). It supports wind speed, gusts, wind direction, temperature, pressure and humidity.

See a sample station here.

Important Notes:

  • Requires navigation.position, environment.wind.directionGround, environment.wind.speedOverGround and environment.outside.temperature
  • You will likely need signalk-derived-data plugin for environment.wind.directionGround and environment.wind.speedOverGround.
  • environment.outside.pressure and environment.outside.humidity are optional
  • Plugin requires email and password you use on PWS Weather. Ideally this would not be necessary and only an API key would be sufficient. However there is no official API to update the position of a weather station, email and password combination is required for it.
  • You first need to create a station on PWS Weather and enter the corresponding station ID.
