What you need to know about WeatherBridge
The WeatherBridge is a device that allows your weather station to send data to Weather Underground without the need for a computer. WeatherBridge works with many different weather stations. The weather stations connect directly into the WeatherBridge device via a USB connection, and then you can configure your station settings on the WeatherBridge site.

The AirBridge can connect to the WeatherBridge wirelessly via WiFi. This eliminates the need to connect the weather station to WeatherBridge using a USB cable.
The WeatherBridge and AirBridge work with Weather Station AND Webcams. The MeteoBridge is designed to work most easily with Ubiquiti AirCam.
