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

        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.

              @tomslavkovsky said in Report your Weather Station Data to Windy:

              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?

                    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?

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

                            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.

                                    What does "0 g:2" being displayed as wind speed mean?

                                    weird wind speed.PNG

                                    Here is the relevant part of the Python code I am using to upload the data:
                                    "ambient_str= "{0:.2f}".format(ambient_temp)
                                    ground_str= "{0:.2f}".format(ground_temp)
                                    humidity_str = "{0:.3f}".format(humidity)
                                    pressure_str="{0:.4f}".format(pressure)
                                    wind_speed_str= "{0:.3f}".format(wind_speed)
                                    wind_gust_str= "{0:.3f}".format(wind_gust)
                                    wind_average_str= str(wind_average)
                                    rainfall_in_str= "{0:.3f}".format(rainfall)

                                    r= requests.get(
                                        url +
                                        creds +
                                        "&winddir=" + wind_average_str +
                                        "&wind=" + wind_speed_str +
                                        "&gust=" + wind_gust_str +
                                        "&rh=" + humidity_str +
                                        "&temp=" + ambient_str +
                                        "&precip=" + rainfall_in_str +
                                        "&mbar=" + pressure_str +
                                        "&dewpoint=" + ground_str )
                                    

                                    I have used the rest of this code before with WeatherUnderground and there wasn't such an issue, so it's probably not that I am getting an invalid wind speed value calculated.

                                      @crazyukrainian Depending on what Unit of measurement I have selected the value displayed changes to something like "X g:Y" where X and Y are integers.

                                        It means Wind = 0kt. Gusts = 2kt

                                          Oh, okay, thanks!

                                          It's not the most intuitive format but ok, guess Windy.com still has something to improve.

                                            Hi,

                                            I'm uploading weather data for well over an hour now, but my station still does not show up on the map. It shouldn't take longer than 30 minutes, right?

                                            It's sending values as I was able to check via: https://stations.windy.com/pws/station/MY_API_KEY/0

                                            ID: f07adc02
                                            Station ID: 0

                                            Any help very much appreciated.
