After no success over several weeks I decided to go back to my serial-to-usb data logger to see if I could rectify my issues with the maximum winds. Not only did this fix the maximum wind issue I was having with the weatherlink IP data logger but the VP2 Console battery voltage is displaying correctly on my status webpage (http://www.willowsfordfarmweather.org/wxstatus.php). I was never was able to fix the issue of having to reenter the “Data from Weatherlink.com” in Control Panel → Station Type & Settings. Every time I restarted WD I had to re-enable and reenter the weatherlink DID, Key, User, and Password because they were blank after the restart.
I want to thank Brian for all the work he did trying to fix these issues. I doubt I am the only one experiencing weatherlink IP data logger issues but I guess it’s possible. Maybe there was something unique about my setup or a setting I had incorrect. All is well now with the old serial-to-usb!
