Report your Weather Station Data to Windy

@kurtk Hi, our development team will look into this, the issue is probably on our side.

@korina Thank you! My system should be posting correctly formatted data every 10 minutes.

@korina Hello - Any update to this? My team keeps asking where our data is...
Thanks!

I'm using a Bresser 5 in 1 Wi-Fi station (https://www.bresseruk.com/Weatherstations/BRESSER-WIFI-color-weather-center-with-5in1-profi-sensor.html) and uploading data to Wunderground and Weathercloud. I'd like to upload data to windy too but I am an absolute 'newbie' to this and was hoping for some assistance.

- Is my device capable of uploading data to Windy? I have an API key in my Wunderground profile which makes me think I should be able to share it's data? I am not using any additional software.
- Is there a step by step guide? Fore example, how do get my data from wunderground/weathercloud over to windy?

I have created a station at stations.windy.com (ID: f0727b07) but have absolutely no idea what I need to do with this now it's created?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@kurtk Magically, ours started working today! We have done nothing different in the last two weeks. I wish that the Windy folks would let us know what happened. We spent many hours trying to sort this out. Now it appears that the issue had nothing to do with our application.

@kurtk Hello, our developers solved the issue on Friday, now there should not be any further problems.

@graeme2812 Hello, I would recommend trying some additional software discussed in this category.

@graeme2812
Your best bet is to run WeeWX with the Interceptor driver to get data from your station. Then you'll need to install the Windy extension for WeeWX. I recommend reading the WeeWX wiki and github websites and also read and ask questions in the WeeWX Google user group. If you are not familiar with Linux then you'll have even more to learn. It isn't difficult if you put your mind to it. There is lots of help over in the WeeWX Google user group. I recommend running WeeWX on a Raspberry Pi.

rainin - real number [in]; rain inches over the past hour

Do you mean the accumulated rain in inches over the past hour?

I have the Sainlogic WS3500 (same as Froggit WH3000 and Fine Offset WH2900) which delivers (in WUnderground API mode) all the same values with the same parameter names except rainin. rainin is defined as rain RATE per hour in inches.

Because of the measuring ever 16seconds and delivering the data every minute to my own service, the value must be recalculated anyway to be send every 5 minutes to your service. The only question is, whats the correct calculation. rain rate or accumulated rain within the last hour..

Hi, yesterday i configured our paragliding site weewx weater station to upload to windy. It seems to upload data, i see growing amounts of measured values in the data section at https://stations.windy.com/pws/station/API-KEY/0.

Station ID: f06ec256

In addition to the automatic weewx upload i also triggered a manual GET request for testing purposes (https://stations.windy.com/pws/update/API-KEY*?winddir=90&windspeedmph=15&windgustmph=22&tempf=50&rainin=0&baromin=29.1&dewptf=68.2&humidity=87) yesterday and got a SUCCESS response, so the API Key seems to be correct.

However, i get an error message "Error loading or rendering station data" when opening https://www.windy.com/station/pws-f06ec256, the station is also not visible in the windy map. I also noticed that the JSON data contains yesterdays dates: ..."updated":"2021-05-29T17:51:35.896Z","observation":null,"observationUpdated":"2021-05-29T17:42:26.376Z"...

Do i just have to be patient and wait e.g. for a full 24h cycle? Can you confirm if the station is sending valid data? Is there something i can do on my end?

windyvop

Guess i was just impatient, it shows now :-)

I'm not a programmer and I could not manage to do it. Why was not possible to do it like Wuderground or other websites that they connect to your own weather station and collect data by themselves, instead of making me to send it to Windy?

Korina

@frances4r Hello, we have our own interface, usually you need additional software together with your station to be able to send data.

**Hi Admin new premium subscriber to WINDY. I want to send my OREGAN PROFESSIONAL PWS data to you....have followed your steps. I am using AMBIENT WEATHER software...

Here is al the data:

Hello, it seems you will need the following software - https://community.windy.com/topic/10730/how-do-i-connect-my-ambient-weather-ws-2902-to-windy?_=1622705425755

I am trying to connect my weather station to Windy. I am registered with AmbientCWOP and I am successfully uploading data through an API key. I am unsure how to integrate the API keys between Windy and my station to communicate with Windy. Please help if possible with next steps. Thanks.
