I’ve been running WD with my WeatherFlow test station and it’s been doing fine. Today I decided to start uploading data to my web site and setup a 2nd site to upload the data to. I believe I have everything right but now WD is not pulling data from WeatherFlow. If I restart WD it will pull new data but it will not update from there.
Any place I should look to try and trouble shoot this?
Can you tell me is the weather display software using the developer app API key plus the station Id or is it using station Id alone. Unfortunately my windows machine is too unreliable to run weather display or just about anything for a length a time .
I have compiled scripts for using the API key plus station ID for homeweatherstation template and it’s been running here http://boutiquehotelitaly.com/devpws/ for last 4 day suite smoothly. But I will really would like to understand how weather display collects the data.
this is the data I get from your station ID:
9:16 pm May 04 2017
Barometer 1014.0
temperature 22.4
Humidity 100.0
Strike 0.0
Strike distance 0.0
Battery 3.5
What I found was that cronweatherflow was not running. I tried restarting WD but the cron program never started. Once I started it manually everything is good. I haven’t rebooted the computer for a while so will do that later today and see if that makes a difference.
My understanding that you embed your Developers ID within the program and all the end user needs to do is put in a station ID. A user may want to monitor a number of different stations so all they would have to do is put in the station ID number.
ah, maybe it was still getting Hanksters data
checking, yup it was
using 1959 as the station data on restarting cronweatherflow…I and not getting any data (it does say OK)
is your station set to public Brian?
re hanskter, what update interval do you have set in the weatherflow setup?
Ok a bit learning curve going on here , I have two methods I can get data via
Through developer API key I can access the device direct via 1959 using my API key and authorize through the developer panel , I see more data available than I see through the station ID method.
So try 1200 if you need it . If you want I can pm the device ID method I use though I think you should be able see that method through the developer panel.
It appears that cronweatherflow.exe is crashing/closing that is why WD is flatlining. Everything is working fine then WD just flatlines. If I look cronweatherflow.exe is not running. If I manually start it again it starts collecting data. My internet connection can be a little flakey, do you think that the cron is crashing/closing because it may not be able to connect for a few minutes?
