Report your Weather Station Data to Windy
-
I said Go to your Windy page. Mine is as an example. Look for your Windy ID along with your "lat-long or log" in and enter it after /pws- https://www.windy.com/station/pws-f075a2d9"
You do not have to include your Lat-Long. https://www.windy.com/station/pws-f075a2d9

Hmmm seems my signature line is not working.

@galfert Sure am :)

@Swigman @galfert I seem to be experiencing this as well. I'm pretty sure it does change (even if by design it should not) as I have copy-pasted into my application code. My API calls are still getting through from the previous code, but the code has changed since I originally copied it. Nothing else about my station has been updated.
btw - I'm looking into this since I'm successfully (API call is SUCCESS) sending data to Windy, but my station is not showing on the map :(
-
@ke5bme Thanks mate, how are you determining that the API calls are getting through? I am using Cumulus MX and have been via FTP sending to WU for years and that is all working so i am assuming that i am not having any firewall or routing issues from with in my network but it is hard to tell.

@Swigman I'm using the http GET API from the top of this page: (https://stations.windy.com/pws/update/XXX-API-KEY-XXX?winddir=230&windspeedmph=12&windgustmph=12&tempf=70&rainin=0&baromin=29.1&dewptf=68.2&humidity=90), replacing with my API key. The return code is SUCCESS and I see the data on the site, but my station never shows up.
I'm able to use the API from both POSTMAN as well as my java application.

@ke5bme Thanks, I am using the one Galfert linked to on the Cumulus MX site.
https://stations.windy.com/pws/update/XXX-API-KEY-XXX?winddir=&wind=&gust=&temp=&precip=&pressure=&dewpoint=2&humidity=All i did was cut and paste and switched the xxx-api-key-xxx for the one from the station registration site.
So where are you 'seeing' the data on the site? I am checking via https://www.windy.com/station/pws-f07141b2?-12.394,130.891,8,i:pressure (which was the link from the station setup site)
All i get is the message at the bottom of the map about not getting observations form the period.
-
@Swigman Click this: https://www.windy.com/station/pws-f06ebd1e?30.751,-97.783,8,i:pressure,p:off
You should see my data at the bottom, but my station doesn't show up on the map

I have a test version of Cumulus MX available that uploads to Windy natively - no need for a custom URL, and it converts units as required.
Details here... https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=17381

Just saw this post regarding using an iPad. Seems like copying the API key is a bit tricky on the iPad (and iPhone is probably the same deal.) Recommendation is to use a computer.

@ke5bme yup i see your data and a spot on the map for a location?
-
@mcrossley yup that is the link i am using and not getting anything :(
-
@Swigman The Custom HTTP works in Clumulus, but not if you use hPa for pressure or km/h for windspeed.
I was pointing out that I have a build of Cumulus MX avaialblethat uploads natively and does the conversions etc for you. Details at the end of that thread.

@mcrossley thanks mate, have pm'd.

@galfert I'm not sure but on the Cumulus wiki site there is a "3rd party" tool called "Toolbox" it does a lot of things for Cumulus 1 that CumulusMX does on it's own You might check it out for a quick fix while you delve into the CumulusMX world

@TomSlavkovsky Question: Wind direction, are you following the convention of 360 = North, 0 = Calm (no reading)?
-
Hi my station is showing on your map but there is no data at all, sending it via WeatherDisplay station https://www.windy.com/station/pws-f06ebe19?-33.936,148.599,8,i:pressure
-
@f4phlyer Cumulus Toolbox is very good on what it does, but does not offer that function.
-
this has been resolved (linux version of weather display)
