September 9, 2016 - Added WeatherUnderground Support - see Blog article on www.switchdoc.com for instructions. The summary of the instructions are:
-
sign up for a personal weather station on weatherunderground.com
-
Get your station name and key and put them in your config.py file, and then setting the WeatherUnderground_Present to True

Install this for smbus:
sudo apt-get install python-smbus
Install this next:
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_PureIO.git
cd Adafruit_Python_PureIO
sudo python setup.py install
Other installations required for AM2315:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo apt-get install libi2c-dev
sudo pip install tentacle_pi
#Installing apscheduler
sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools pip
sudo pip install setuptools --upgrade
sudo pip install apscheduler
----------------
Note some configurations of Raspberry Pi software requres the following:
It won't hurt to do this in any case.
----------------
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential python-pip python-dev python-smbus git git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_GPIO.git cd Adafruit_Python_GPIO sudo python setup.py install cd .. cd Adafruit_Python_SSD1306 sudo python setup.py

Use phpmyadmin or sql command lines to add the included SQL file to your MySQL databases.
Note: If the database has been updated, run the example below to update your database. The current contents will not be lost.
example: sudo mysql -u root -p GroveWeatherPi< GroveWeatherPi.sql
user: root
password: password
Obviously with these credentials, don't connect port 3306 to the Internet. Change them if you aren't sure.
NOTE:
If you have a WXLink wireless transmitter installed, the software assumes you have connected your AM2315 outdoor temp/humidity sensor to the WXLink. If you put another AM2315 on your local system, it will use those values instead of the WXLink values
