About Weather Station

Weather Station is the first plugin for WordPress able to collect and display real weather stations data. Initially designed for the Netatmo stations, Weather Station supports now a large number of brands and services.

Although I try to pay particular attention to it, I can not guarantee that Weather Station is operational in your environment, or that it meets exactly what you expect. If you happen to experience some difficulties during its configuration or its use, I will be happy to try to help you via the community support.

Weather Station is free and open source, so you are free to do what you want of it, in compliance with the GPL v2 license, or later.

If you like Weather Station or find it useful and want to thank me for the work done, please consider making a donation to La Quadrature Du Net or the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which are two advocacy groups defending the rights and freedoms of citizens on the Internet. By supporting them, you help the daily actions they perform to defend our fundamental freedoms!

Alternatively, you can also have drink on me!

In any case, I hope you will take as much pleasure in using this plugin as I have to develop and maintain it.
