Downoad, extract it.Assuming that MediaPortal is installed on the current PC in the default locations, run SetupMP.Cmd.Setup pauses to show the path being used. If incorrect then edit Setup.Cmd.Configuration================================Assumes MediaPortal stopped (will not load plugins except at startup).Dis/Enable the WEA22Plugin, using MediaPortalConfig (installs enabled).Usage================================Start MediaPortal and select WeatherEye button.Refresh button reads the current values from the WEA22 weather station.Reset effectively zeroes the rainfall datum base value. (No such thing as absolute rainfall!)ANY problems I would like to hear about, it is VERY simple and there is a technical description of what it does in a later message.TECH STUFFThe WEA22 class interface to the USB port and gets EEPROM values from the WEA22.It converts these into sensible program values.Huge thanks to Weather Eye for sending me a test program and structure details.Without this I would have had a MUCH harder time (if ever) getting this to work!Possible issues/extensions===============================Convert the wind direction to a compass (prettier) and make the screen more user friendly.Rather than just a whole chunk of text!Rather dull at the moment but I'll see about tarting it up a bit later.This was actually written for the HomeSeer side (where it DOES have practical uses and just thought I'd add it to MediaPortal - for fun!)</blockquote>
