WS-1001 data direct to WD?

that one unzipped OK
it does not receive anything on the system I have access to
but I am not surprised, as I could not get any of the methods that WD supports to work with that station anyway(except via access to wunderground data (using own api key)
this station that I have access to has the original firmware that the station comes with…i.e it has not been updated

Maybe the server.ini on station is pointing to rupdate.wunderground.com and not to you WD computer IP. In this case, no packet is sent to your WD computer.

You can test the methods on your WD simulating the packets that the station would send using a internet browser, same as you can test with my program.

ah, yes, I had missed that I needed to update that ini file to point to the pc ip
(I had tried initially having set to point to a web server IP to update the php script file their to create the json file…)
I will need to get the usb connected again…will need to ask

Working without problem from almost one month. I will setup a page with the program and a tutorial to configure WD to work with it. I only need some spare time!

I have also to switch between the production “weather station” yet with 1-wire hardware to the “Aercus” one. Could I copy the entire “Weather Station” section in ini file from one computer to the other leaving the rest ini file untouched?

Hi
good that this solution is working
I have not had the usb re connected on the remote system I did have access too yet

Well, if someone could consider this interesant:

Tutorial to setup Aercus or Ambient or clones "weather stations " that send data directly to Weather Underground to work with Weather Display.

very good
is there a link to download your program?
its not obvious? :wink:

It’s right at the bottom of the page http://kona2.alc.upv.es/Estacio_Meteorologica/IPObserverRecMFC.zip

ah, missed that :slight_smile:

Yes, yes, I put on bottom to encourage people to read all before :wink:

PD: I promise to revise the orthography and punctuation… I wrote it very fast and now I am realizing that it has a lot of mistakes.

Question to Ruben Perez
did you do any firmware update on the weather station?
(e.g update the firmware via the SD card) at all?
as I cant get any data to flow to your software direct (or my test program)

I am not sure, I think that I tested if the IP Observer had the last Aercus soft, but the only thing it really needs is the possibility to change destination IP and port for “WU” packets. IP Observer firmware update is done through the “web interface”.

Have you checked port, IP, firewall, etc.? I am supposing that you have changed the IP destination on a “.ini” file on console, isn’t it?

We can do some more test if you put some IP of my computer so I can try to read the packets with debugger, or tool like Wireshark (this better not to talk here, with e-mail :slight_smile: ).

Ruben

yes, I add to ther server.ini file a custom config , and set the IP address as that as the pc
even the easy weather software is not working on the remote pc I have access to (windows xp)

Then seem some problem with station software… Have you checked if the station is still sending packets to WU? In this case, the change on .ini has no effect :frowning:

You can “check” what is sending the station, if it is connected to the same network that the PC where you install it, using Wireshark software, but I can’t do from here, all must be in the same network.

Ruben

yes, it sends to WU OK
I am thinking it might need a firmware update

Maybe, do you know which firmware version it has?

i did gleam that info from what is in the in file on the actual server folder (when connected via USB)
it was something like 3.14 from memory…at the time I decided it was newer than the version that was needed for getting data to the easy weather software…but maybe still needs updating
not something I can do remotely

I am hoping for some help getting a Digitech XC0422 station working. This appears to be a rebadged Ambient Weather WS-1001. I have updated the firmware successfully using the Ambient Weather WS-1001 firmware to 2.4.1 and all works well with the weather station, including uploads to Ambient Weather, WU and locally to a PC to Easy Weather IP, which all works perfectly. But I am having problems with WD.

From reading this thread, if I have understood correctly, it appears that WD is supposed to support this station “directly” by checking the “Use via Wifi Direct (easiest)” checkbox, which if I have understood should allow the data to be collected by WD directly from the console (mine being a WS-1001 with a console), with no USB, other web server scripts or modifying setting on the station etc. This sounds perfect, however, it does not seem to work.

If I use wireshark to see how Easy Weather IP gets the data collected, it seems it is as follows :-

  1. PC broadcasts UDP port 6000 to the local network.
  2. WS-1001 sends back UDP packet to the PC with source of 6000, and destination port being the the source port the PC used to send the broadcast in step 1. This packet has the WS-1001 IP and mac address.
  3. Console then establishes TCP connection to PC with destination port of 6500. I assume this is used for the data transfer

Issue with WD, nothing seems to happen when I setup up “Use via Wifi Direct (easiest)” checkbox. If I use Wireshark to see if anything is happening on the network, there does not seem to be any traffic to/from the WS-1001 IP address, port 6000, or port 6500. So it seems WD is not even trying to establish any connection.

I have tried on Win 7 and Win 10 PC with same result.

What am I missing? Do I have something misconfigured? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you do not have usb, then make sure to not use that option
post a screen shot of your settings in WD
