    • RE: Problem with webcam image refresh time

      I am having similar issues with webcams, i.e. the refresh time.
      It would be helpful to get some insight into the process/algorithm for updating photos on windy.
      As an example, many cameras only produce photos during daylight.
      Then in some countries daylight is 24 hours for summer months while winter time could be down to 4 hours of daylight.
      Is there any classification/process on how each camera is updated, and is it fixed in the initial approval ?

    • RE: My New station is not showing up on the map

      Hi, I have same problem, station not showing up on map.
      I have 9 stations already sending data to windy.
      I added 2 stations last weekend, one showed up within 24 hours, while the other still not showing.
      There is no error sending the data and same system for all the stations.
      The station not showing on map is ID: 8f056cc64
      Direct link to the station shows it has the data for many days now, still not showing.
      https://www.windy.com/station/pws-8f056cc64?64.700,-20.883,8,i:pressure
      What could be the issue ?

    • Webcam management and new webcams

      Hi all

      I have number of Weather stations and they all have webcams (1 or 2).
      Managing weather stations is simple and effective using https://stations.windy.com
      There I have list of my stations and can edit and update as needed, very good.
      Also the API for sending information is clear and easy to use.

      < rant >
      But then we have the webcams and their management.
      Management is actually not existing (at least not to normal users).
      I dont see a list of my webcams, cannot edit or amend info or add details.
      This is very much needed for those managing more than very few cameras.

      There is some approval process, which should be clear, while it has not been working properly for some time.
      We dont know what kind of presentation of the data (images) is preferrable by windy.com or easy to use, which for developers would be helpful.
      I understand there is certain security/misuse possible, which should be checked, but for "known providers" this should be simple.
      Can some standard interface for sharing webcams (to windy) be published which developers can use?
      The algorithm of retrieving photos is not publicly known, but more infor to windy.com might improve this very much.
      Webcams that take photos normally at regular intervals are common, but the info is not part of info shared with windy.com, like photos every 10 minutes/30 minutes, and if photos are only during daylight hours. If there are more than one direction of images (like alternating directions with two cameras).
      Even emails of approval, reject, disable due to problem or enabled again when OK are not received anymore (were OK but stopped sometime last year)....
      < /rant >

      Could webcam providers get some webcams.windy.com management in similar way as stations.windy.com, even (some or all) changes might neet approval of admins ?

      Can this be looked into and improved ?
