Weather data integrated into HA

[PaulD]

Would like to tie local weather data into my HA system that is built around an OmniPro II. I know I can add sensors to pick up outside temp & humidity and I also am aware that there are a variety of 1 wire devices and other widgets that can be blended together by a person who is willing to pick up the pieces and do his own integration as required. However, I am not interested in all that integration and trouble shooting. I want something that is more along the lines of a plug & play package.
I have seen many stand alone systems on the market that can display numerous weather details from local sensors or from web based sources. I am looking for a package that can do similar actions while tied into my HA system so I could display the info on my HA system screens or cross feed it to my computer. Would also like to be able to tap into that weather info to use as factors in making decisions in my HA daily operation.
Does any such package exist?

Have you considered using a PC-based solution, perhaps hooked to a weather station, to generate cues to your omni? The weather station/display software would be plug-n-play, but you would have to write some code to send a message when the weather reached certain parameters.

Also, I love cocoontech and all, but most of the HAI knowledge is over on the worthington board, check out this thread and considering posting there too.

I have looked at the PC based solutions but they appear to be focused on displaying info on the PC (good) but I have not seen any indications that I can tap into the data to extract what I may be looking for (bad). That approach would work fine if they had any straight forward method to tap into the data so I could use it in other ways. I have not looked at any of the software but I suspect it is not frendly to anyone wanting to hack into it. I am not interested in trying to hack into it. However, if they exported the data to any table of open data, that would work for me.

Did not think about Worthington...will check it out. I hit in it infrequently anyway.
