Uploading data to Windy.com

AndrewSinclair

Hello,

I am trying to upload data to windy.com using Davis VP2 and CumulusMX but don't seem to be having much luck.

https://www.windy.com/station/pws-f065d04a?51.284,-2.782,10

I anyone able to offer any pointers.

Thank you

I think I have solved it now, I wasn’t patient enough.

@andrewsinclair Glad to hear it :)

@korina Sorry to trouble you but I seem to be having trouble again. I was successfully uploading weather from my station to windy.com

https://www.windy.com/station/pws-f065d04a?51.284,-2.782,10

But recently it seems to have stopped working. I went back and checked the API key and it seems to be copied correctly but when viewed in windy.com it says "error loading or rendering station data" Is there some fault finding I can do to try and rectify this?

Thanks

Korina

Hello, I would recommend to check the settings once again or contact the CumulusMX support.

Thanks @korina, I give that a try.

The issue has been solved by the CumulusMX users forum team.

For the record and assistance of other Windy.com users, I understand it is because Windy uses Let's Encrypt for their SSL certificates, recently (30th Sept 2021) the Let's Encrypt R3 intermediate CA certificate they use to authenticate their client certificates expired.The rPi has not kept up with that change and still has the old intermediate CA cert. (I am no expert!). The steps I followed were as follows:

Updating the mozilla/DST_Root_CA_X3.crt certificate:-

Open a terminal session on the RPi
Type sudo nano /etc/ca-certificates.conf into the terminal session, look through the response and
Then type the exclamation character ! in front of the line: /mozilla/DST_Root_CA_X3.crt
Save the file: Ctrl-X, then hit y for yes
Then update the certificates by typing sudo update-ca-certificates into the terminal session
Reboot your RPi, the Windy.com upload will restart and you should see your data within an hour or so.
