This code is built to be hosted on the free Google Apps Script platform. It takes in weather station data from:
- IBM Wunderground,
- MyAcurite,
- Davis WeatherLink,
- WeatherFlow Tempest,
- Ambient Weather,
- aprs.fi (CWOP), or
- a custom data source in RTL_433 JSON format,
and periodically sends it on to
- IBM Wunderground,
- Windy.com,
- Aeris PWSWeather,
- WeatherCloud,
- OpenWeatherMap,
- WindGuru,
- MET (UK) WOW and/or
- NOAA CWOP.
- Create a new Google Apps Script project and give it a name
- Overwrite the default
