Fixed it. Didn't know there was type validation introduced in the API

@jose-a-mansilla Please check this thread, I think you can find answers you need there.

@xd1936 Thank you, Leo. Your work also lets me publish data on CWOP easily so I am sharing my data with one more service. Warm regards from Southern Brazil.

@Komousap said in Bresser Weather Station:

These weather stations are cool gadgets, but sometimes they can be a bit off, especially with things like wind speed in built-up areas. Living in the UK, surrounded by buildings and all, it's tough to get accurate readings, right?

I've got one myself, and while it's great for temp and humidity, I take the wind speed with a grain of salt.
I hear ya on the struggle to find a good spot to mount it, too. It's like trying to find a unicorn sometimes! 😅
If you're serious about getting precise wind readings, you might wanna check out Kestrel Instruments on kestrelinstruments.com. They've got some solid gear that's used by the pros. But hey, for everyday use, as long as the temp and humidity are on point, I'm happy enough.

@kurtwalker I also had this question and agree it is not obvious. The fact that the observation vs forecast comparison is at different refresh frequencies (based on how frequently the model prediction refreshes) makes this a less useful feature. Of course the models that refresh more frequently will perform better. The function only tests short term prediction accuracy in that case. I would prefer a standard time out comparison based on the slowest refresh rate. Or better yet to be able to control the prediction time somehow! Maybe a button for 1 day or 3 day. That could be a really wonderful feature for comparing real world model performance.

@idefix37 It is also unclear how the median error thumbs are calculated (far right on the obs vs forecast tab, thumb indicating the lowest mean error). Is that median error for the past hour? week? all recorded time at this station/model combination?

Thanks for this wonderful app. I use it everyday!

@Vietti-Teppa said in New console watherlink of Davis:

Hello, the subject on broadcasting data from a Davis station is already consulted, but none talks about the new weatherlink console which gives an API token for broadcasting, I have not understood or found how to broadcast this station, it is autonomous and there is no PC, it is connected to the internet, is this possible?

ou're right, the WeatherLink Console is a new offering from Davis Instruments that allows for data analysis and broadcasting without needing a PC. Here's how the API token might work for broadcasting data from your console:

Console Functionality: The WeatherLink Console itself is capable of storing and displaying weather data, but it likely relies on Davis's WeatherLink.com platform for advanced features like data broadcasting.

API Token: The API token you mentioned is probably used to connect your console to WeatherLink.com. This allows you to upload your station's data to the platform for further analysis, sharing, and potentially broadcasting.

Direct Broadcasting: While the console might not offer direct broadcasting functionality itself, WeatherLink.com might have options to set up data feeds or integrations with other services. Here's where the API token would come in - it authenticates your console and allows authorized data transfer.

Here's what you can do to explore broadcasting options:

WeatherLink.com Services: Check the WeatherLink.com website or user manuals for information on data broadcasting options. They might offer integrations with weather services, public weather databases, or even custom solutions using the API.
API Documentation: Look for API documentation on the Davis Instruments website or WeatherLink.com. This documentation should explain how to use the API token for data transfer and potentially integration with third-party services.
Additional points to consider:

Internet Connectivity: Ensure your WeatherLink Console is connected to the internet for data transmission and potential broadcasting functionalities.

Data Security: Using the API likely involves sending your weather data to external services. Make sure you understand the data privacy practices of any service you connect to.

If you're still unsure about broadcasting after exploring these steps, contacting Davis Instruments support or > helpdesk might be helpful. They can clarify the specific functionalities of the console and API related to data broadcasting.

@Suty thank you all seems ok now.

@dh-ch-bjj

The list of data/layers available in the free version is not displayed in one place. When you use Windy, you see what is and isn't available to you.

Or, is your question only about weather stations?

@TeeFrix It was probably an outage outside of Windy at the end of the source, we take usually take these data from aviationweather.gov

Thanks. I'll check Madis.

Hello,

For your weather station you can refer to

Is this still working? Have many people deployed with success? @simcom would you be willing to help me deploy this remotely for a small lake resort? I'm not the technical.

Hi @Colin-in-BKK, both Bangkok radar sites have been integrated and are now part of radar composite

@ipearx You requested info about the station, where parameters agl_temp and agl_wind provide info about the height of sensors above the ground. More info here.

@idefix37 You are absolutely right - after reading about MADIS, ingesting data from NOAA data sources and non-NOAA providers for delivery, I can understand that once the bad quality goes in, the bad quality also goes out to the "Meteorological Community", as they put it. Luckily, most of the distributed data does not fall into this category.

I will be more careful now, and filter out the PWS data which is often useless noise, unfortunately, and will also look with a certain questioning to some other stations as well, like those coming from ships. And keep my own boat's sensors well calibrated, allowing me to assess the models vs. the real weather situation, which is the purpose why I were looking at the stations around me in the first place.

Thank you for your insight.

@Paco-Ruiz-3 Hi, do you see your station in your list here.
