Report your Weather Station Data to Windy
-
@Léo-Lachance Yes, please make sure that your station has data no older than 2 hours.
-
Now that you've limited the data access for users, did you take into consideration to give premium access to the members feeding their PWS data to Windy?
I'm thinking about something like flightradar24, flightaware & co are doing. To reward their feeders sharing the ADS-B feed, they upgrade those members to business/enterprise tiers. -
@joemate We have not considered this approach, but thank you for suggestion.
-
The station I keep here is sending data but not showing up in Windy's map. What could be wrong? The station is up and running normally and nothing has changed. I've already checked, using the GET method, and it confirms recent updates but data is not showing up since February 9th. The station is PWS-f079fd3f

What software do you use? Did you set the station ID to "0"?

Hi Korina, it's a PWS that I program myself using an ESP8266. I was using the GET method (easier for me), where I couldn't find how to specify the station ID, thus, it's not set to "0"
-
Would you consider giving free access to Windy Premium for users who have active reporting weather stations submitting data to Windy?

@cagrimmett
Four posts here above, you get the reply to the same question. -
@Renato-Elias I think I've found the answer for my own question on a previous post...
Will make a try including "&stationId=0" on my GET sentence ;)
-
@Korina I'm now sending the stationId but the station is not being rendered in the map yet.
here's how I'm sending the data
and here's the returning message
SUCCESS (valid measurements count: 4, valid station info count: 0)the http return code is 301 (moved permanently) which makes no sense to me...
-
@Renato-Elias it seems windy closed api support on http requests..
-
@Renato-Elias Your station is visible on Windy, but does not show data.
-
@Korina but I keep sending the data every 5 minutes with the http request I've sent on my previous post. It's weird because was working fine, even without the stationId but it suddenly stopped :(
After @alperian 's reply I've started to play with the json post method but it's not working yet. I keep receiving a 301 returning code and using https I can't connect (connection failure).
BTW, do I need to send the "stations" data (id, name, lat, lon, elevation, etc...) every time I post an "observations"'s data?

@Korina I think it's working now using the GET method
The only change I've made in the code was replace the "http" by "https", thus, it's now sending:
other thing that I've noticed is that the "show key" in the station's account is misleading because everytime we click on that button, the station's key changes.
-
@Renato-Elias Yes, the station reports data now.
The key changes when you generate a new one.

Hi @Korina,
would you be kind enough to send me all the parameters that I can upload to windy (via url like: https://stations.windy.com/pws/update/MY_PWS_STATION_KEY?winddir=3&wind=0.0&gust=0.00&temp=-127.00&stationId=0)? -
@marcosimonetti You can send wind, wind direction, temperature, pressure, dew point, and rain.

@Korina
Hi,
If Windy can retrieve rain data from weather stations, why are the values not displayed? Specially from the professional ones. -

the values not displayed
Which values?
