Even if the Windy API key were smaller you still would not be able to upload to Windy with your Ecowitt console using the "Customized" server upload feature because it uploads using a different protocol than what Windy uses.

My suggestion for you is to use the Ecowitt GW1000 or Froggit DP1500 in conjunction with your station if you don't currently have one of these. It will be compatible with your current station as long as you get it with the same frequency as your current station (433, 868, or 915 MHz).

Then you can run one of the follow software applications that are capable of getting data from the GW1000 / DP1500 and uploading it to Windy. These compatible applications are: Cumulus MX, Meteobridge, Weather-Display, and WeeWX. A good solution to run these is a Raspberry Pi. If you need more guidance you should head over the wxforum.net and read up on these solutions or ask for help there.

This is not really surprising. This weather station is a Personal Weather Station (pws). Some of them give bad figures but Windy cannot delete them.
Weather stations labelled madis and pws are non official weather stations.

Hello, what is your station ID please?

@gkikas-lgpz Your explanation made sure that there is a problem in values conversation as the airports weather stations always show the value 7 Km/h instead of 6 Km/h, so the weather stations is not the problem.

@korina

All fine now, thanks.

@stratus13 Hello, thank you for your report. We know about this issue and we plan to update our database in the future.

@maxi2019 You need to purchase additional hardware and then run additional software that will support uploading to Windy.

The first thing you need is an Ecowitt GW1000. This is compatible with your station and it will pick up your sensors.

Then you can run one of several software. Cumulus MX, Meteobridge, Weather-Display, or WeeWX. All of these software support uploading to Windy.

Ya funciona.

Gracias.

@arnoldgoat Hello, please check if you have the parameters set correctly - https://community.windy.com/topic/8168/report-your-weather-station-data-to-windy/2

And yes, change the upload interval to 5 minutes.

@korina
It would be a good idea if station owners give us a brief description
of the pros and cons of their equipment.

@tomszechy Hello- I'm here wanting to ask the same question and wondered if you settled on a device and installed it? I don't see that you received much support on this thread, so I think I will post another and hopefully receive more suggestions for a station with the specs you posted here. There are several between $100-150USD, I just don't know if they're sturdy or compatible.

Thanks in advance.

@stef942 CWOP location errors come are usually one of two possible issues.

1 - Your registration is wrong. To fix this you send and email to cwopp-support at noa.gov.

2 - You have entered in the wrong latitude / longitude into your weather software that uploads to CWOP. This is the most common error and it usually has to do with people not understanding how to properly enter in latitude and longitude in the correct format for their software. Every software can potentially ask for this information in different formats. There is Degree Minutes format, then there Degrees Minutes and Seconds format, and there this Degree Minutes and decimal minutes format. You should use an online converter calculator to convert between the different formats to get your location dialed in correctly. Here is a good website to convert between the different formats:

@gereic Hello, we may add this in the future, but it is currently not possible to obtain such data.

@f4hwb Hello, I would suggest to contact their support and ask if they have any solution.

From now Holfuy station owners can forward their Holfuy station's data to Windy easier. More info in this guide.
