SignalK Windy Plugin

LaSiroque

Hi Folks,

I have registered a Windy Station in Aprill 2024
https://stations.windy.com/stations/f0c7fcad

I am running signalk with the Windy and the signalk-derived-data plugin to share my nmea2k data with windy.
Everthing is up-to-date.

I think both plugins are configured properly, but my station doesnt show up anymore on the map

any ideas?

Thanks a lot in advance

Mike

@LaSiroque Please Enable debug log and observe the SIgnalK logs for a while (the data is not sent every second...), the plugin would normally print out a quite verbose explanation if the problem is with the sending of the data. This is how I resolved the issue.

@LaSiroque The version of plugin I use needs:

navigation.position,
environment.wind.directionGround
environment.wind.speedOverGround
environment.outside.temperature

I do not know if you have navigation.position or environment.outside.temperature, but seeing your list of wind data, looks that you may need signalk-derived-data plugin for environment.wind.directionGround (DEPRECATED and unchecked in your list).

What data is missing, if any, is printed by the plugin in the debug log. If something is missing, it does not send anything to Windy.

Hi @Canne,

thanks for the suggestions.

i have now enabled debugging and the environment.wind.directionGround is enabled.

but i dont have the datapoints
environment.wind.directionGround
environment.outside.temperature (no sensor)

in the data browser

and the log now says:
Apr 20 11:31:29 2025-04-20T09:31:29.092Z signalk-windy Not submitting position due to lack of position, wind speed, wind direction or temperature.

But i do have position and windangle/speed

Thanks

see above:

I do not know if you have navigation.position or environment.outside.temperature, but seeing your list of wind data, looks that you may need signalk-derived-data plugin for environment.wind.directionGround (DEPRECATED and unchecked in your list).

One can calculate environment.wind.directionGround from true heading and true wind anglen (you need these, at least). signalk-derived-data plugin can do this for you.

For environment.outside.temperature you would need a sensor. It is a sensible requirement for a weather station that it submits a temperature value for your (moving) spot.

You can study your existing instruments, maybe the data is available but not transmitted for some reason. For example, I have two temperature values available, one from the barometer and one from the ultrasound wind sensor. My barometer is inside the cabin so I had to disable its temperature value in favor of the value given by the wind sensor.

If you have no luck, the easiest way is to purchase a sensor, which can be plugged in on your NMEA-2000 bus (or its Raymarine etc. derivates with an adapter), for example https://www.yachtd.com/products/sensors.html
