Possible FAQ: How do I setup WD and Meteohub to work together?

[MJCam]

ITS WORKING! I finally got it working.  Your last suggestion I think was the clue. I know I was able to access Meteohub remotely because I kept on checking the setup to make sure everything was where was suppose to be. My WD live site was working fine along with my PWS on Weather Underground. When I tried looking at data with the URL you suggested but using my IP I just kept getting an error message. I did some reading in the Meteohub manual and saw something about data ports. I believe there are 4 or 5 ports for data starting at 5500 and going to 5558. I thought if I access the router and open those ports it just might work. The hard part is that the station, router and Meteohub setup are a 175 miles from my home so if something goes wrong its a long drive to fix it. I decided to take the gamble. I opened the ports and rebooted the router. After a few minutes agonizing minutes I was able to access the router and Meteohub. I then started WD and changed the port setting in the TCP/IP setting from 80 to 5500 then all of a sudden readings started popping up. I opened up my WD live site and the readings were the same as I was getting on WD. Now all I have to do is get WD configured the way I want and start building a website. Thanks for all your help. These forums are great!

Glad to hear it!

I thought it might...
While testing a new facility yesterday I accidentally recreated the same sort of feedback text that you were reporting, so that gave me the clue!

I then started WD and changed the port setting in the TCP/IP setting from 80 to 5500 then all of a sudden readings started popping up.

An odd choice, because port 5500 is normally a serial-to-ethernet-bridge reflection of the actual feed from your weather station (strictly speaking, weather station 0, since with Meteohub v4 and above you may have more than one connected).
The logging prototcol talks to Meteohub's web server with is usually on Meteohub's port 80 or port 7777.
Most likely the difference is somehow down to the way a router is configured at some point?
If it works that's the main thing!

These forums are great!

Indeed!
