Report your Weather Station Data to Windy

Renato Elias

@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?

@Renato-Elias Your station is visible on Windy, but does not show 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:

https://stations.windy.com/pws/update/MY_PWS_STATION_KEY?winddir=3&wind=0.0&gust=0.00&temp=-127.00&stationId=0

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.

Korina

@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)?

Korina

@marcosimonetti You can send wind, wind direction, temperature, pressure, dew point, and rain.

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?

@Korina
Values of Rain:

Here are the values currently displayed, rain is missing.

@Korina
gust?
gust direction?

How often can I send data? 1 minute?
thanks

@Korina
and gust? gust direction?

How often can I send data? min 5 minute?

with Cumulus I can send but... is there an online service that doesn't oblige me to keep the service turned on on my pc?

thanks

@idefix37 For WMO weather stations, it is possible to see rain accumulation.

wind

wind direction
rain (PARTIAL SUCCESS (valid measurements count: 4, valid station info count: 0 - unknown params: 'rain')
etc. etc

I hope to have this information... thanks

@marcosimonetti

I'm not really aware of the variables that can be streamed to Windy. Here is a weather station that apparently transmits a maximum of variables. So I guess you can do the same.

Temperature
Dew point
Relative humidity
Rain
Wind direction
Wind speed and gusts

If you have a problem with rain or another parameter, do not use it for Windy. The same goes for the wind, for which many PWS give poor values (because located in town, near buildings, with sensor at wrong height…).

Hi @idefix37 ,
if you were very kind, thank you!

this is what i was looking for...

I wonder how to set the operation manual link on a forum with 350 pages though.... I think this thing should be fixed by the developers.

I think this thing should be fixed by the developers.

now I update 8/9 parameters

I hope I explained the problem better... THANK YOU

@marcosimonetti Hello, you can just add the link - https://www.windy.com/articles/add-your-personal-weather-station-on-windy-8182

Is there any weather station software that can input multiple weather stations and send the data to windy?
