I've written a weather parser that can pull current temperature, pressure, and humidity data from a nearby PurpleAir outdoor air quality monitor. There are tens of thousands of these installed around the world (check the PurpleAir map).

More details and instructions at https://github.com/medmunds/rainmachine-weather-purpleair

PurpleAir offers free access to the data, no API key necessary. (It's rate limited, but a RainMachine's needs fall well within their limits.)

  Thank you ! Your weather service has been integrated here: https://github.com/sprinkler/rainmachine-developer-resources

  It might have gone through some changes in the source code and it will be great if you could send us a pull request against this repository for any future updates.
