Adding a Vantage Vue PWS to CWOP/MADIS and passing the data onto Windy.com
-
Hello,
I have a Davis Vantage Vue PWS that is connected to a WeatherLink Live and up to the WeatherLink Cloud services. I have enabled the WeatherLink software to also share my data with CWOP as I believe from what I have read, that there is not currently a way to send my data directly to you.
I understand that CWOP share their data with MADIS and Windy is able to pick-up data such as mine from them. I only created the link last weekend, so assume I need to wait patiently until MADIS make my data available to you?
Firstly, am I right in what I have just stated and secondly, if correct, how long does it usually take to make the end-to-end connection (PWS data to Windy.com)? Do you know if there is a way to check it at MADIS?

Hello, what is your station ID, please? It usually takes several hours till the station appears.

Hello, I would recommend to send us data directly, please have a look at this post.

@korina Hi there again. I have been in touch with CWOP and it appeared that my weather station was not active with them. they have now rectified that situation. My station is now showing-up in their active user list. I still don't know if the data has reached MADIS (I need to contact them again I guess to confirm).
I am not very familiar with setting-up APIs and today I tried to add my Station vi your web page link. It failed to register me.
Can I ask, once MADIS have my data flowing to them, is it automatically sent to you and my station just appears on Windy.com, or do I have to register my station to achieve this?
Regards, Lee

@windyuser-4172e2a5-b9c8-4410-9cda-6e031ec73440 Hello, we will look into our databases and if there is any error with updating, we will try to fix it. In the meantime, you can register your station at stations.windy.com, there should not be any error. You will also likely need some additional software.

@korina Hi again, it appears that MADIS processed my request to join their database yesterday and I can now see that my weather station is showing-up as hoped in Windy.
All looks good!
Regards, Lee
