Update: The webcams showed up automatically after 2-3 days. So, it seems one has to be patient and wait. Things work out in the end :)

RE: Report your Weather Station Data to Windy
Hi, is there a limit how many stations can be added via
https://stations.windy.com/stations
with a single account? Currently, I can add only 2 stations. Once the second station is added, the button "+ Station" becomes inactive. Is this a bug or the limit is simply 2 stations?

RE: Report your Weather Station Data to Windy
@Korina Hi, I tried with recent versions of both Firefox and Chrome. I filled in all the fields. Actually, I tried adding a new station at least 5 times, and it never worked. Not really sure what to try next.

RE: Report your Weather Station Data to Windy
Hi, I have 2 weather stations registered in my account. And they work fine. However, I want to add a 3rd one. When I fill in all the fields and click on Save, the station is not added to the list of stations I have. I am redirected to the page listing my stations, but the newly added station is not there. No specific error or success message is shown.
Is there any limitation on the number of stations a user could add, e.g. 2? Or is there something broken in the add station functionality on Windy? Thanks for your replies!

RE: Report your Weather Station Data to Windy
@korina The stations are now visible and reporting as expected.
However, I created two requests to add the webcams from these stations 2 days ago.
-
What is the average time for webcams to be added once a request has been submitted?
-
Is there a separate thread in the forum to discuss webcams and how they are added to Windy?
Thanks

RE: Report your Weather Station Data to Windy
Update: The first weather station showed up on Windy ~ 24 h after the first reports were published. It seems the delay is not 30 minutes, but one day at least. Hopefully, the other weather stations will appear soon.

RE: Report your Weather Station Data to Windy
@korina I am building my own weather stations and back end. As I wrote earlier, I am using a Java / Spring based back end to send data to Windy using option 2 in the instructions, i.e. HTTP post JSON.
Here is a link to one of the stations:
https://www.meteobrite.com/report?stationId=2
I don't want to use any 3rd party solutions to post data, I want to integrate my own already existing back end solution with Windy. And I can see Windy gets the reported data and reports SUCCESS, it is just the data is not displayed.
I can see many users have had similar problems in the past, and they started to see their data after some time.
So, I am wondering whether I should simply wait more or there is some problem with the data I am sending. If it is the latter, how can I figure out what the problem is? Windy replies with SUCCESS, doesn't report any issues, and I can see the data is actually persisted on your back end site using the second link from my previous post.
Thanks

RE: Report your Weather Station Data to Windy
Hi @korina
I have many weather stations (a hobby manufacturer), and I am trying to have them send weather reports to Windy.
These devices are pretty advanced and they collect many different measurements along with camera images. Here are 3 questions:
- I picked up one of my test weather stations and registered it following the instructions above. I use option 2, i.e. post JSON data using Spring RestTemplate to Windy. The post is successful, and I get SUCCESS. However, when I try to view the reports I send, I get "Error loading or rendering station data".
https://www.windy.com/station/pws-f05140f8?43.425,23.304,8
At the same time, I can see those reports are getting published to Windy when I check
https://stations.windy.com/pws/station/open/API_KEY/f05140f8
Do I simply need to wait more (it's been 6 hours since I sent the first reports)? Or there is some problem in the data I am pushing or its formatting? Or a bug on Windy's side :) ?
-
My weather stations have sleep mode whereby they act as a data logger, collect weather reports, store them on their flash card and batch them in the morning. Will Windy accept those reports in batches when each report's timestamp is 10 minutes apart? Is there any throttling which would drop reports above some pre-defined rate?
-
I can see there are JSON fields for UV and precipitation, but I cannot see those shown on Windy. Are those fields really processed and persisted, or they are currently not supported by Windy?
Thanks a lot for your answers!
