Report your Weather Station Data to Windy
-
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)

@TomSlavkovsky
stationId is listed a 32 bit integer but on the station information screen and on windy an ID is shown in what looks like hex.It's confusing for users who are configuring uploaders, they need to use an integer and that integer is not the id listed on the configuration page it's 0,1,...
-
@gearoid There are two things. The station ID which is public and the API key which is private. They are two different identifiers for different uses. You don't want your API key to be public. When you upload you do not use the station ID at all. The API key is all that is used to upload. Hopefully that clears up the confusion.

@galfert
Weewx's windy extension takes an ID as one of its inputs along with the API Key.
It's that ID that I was referring to, it's neither the public station id nor the API Key.
The info part parameters of the protocol at the top of this topic also lists astation(alternative names:si,stationID) as one of the parameters. -
@gearoid Cumulus MX takes the station index too. The first you define is zero, the second 1 etc. I agree though that this information is not presented on your stations page, but they do seem to be listed in station ID order.

Where do I see the precip amount for a station?
-
@Praveen-Chandrasekaran
Unfortunately precipitation amount for a weather station is not available on Windy. -
Precipitation is the most widely followed data , any reason why it's not included?
-
Now you can send atmospheric pressure in following units:
pressure- real number [Pa]mbar- real number [milibar, hPa]baromin- real number [inches Hg]
