Upload to windy.com

Hi, there is a discussion over on the windy forums with regards to uploading our station data to them, would you be up for allowing this from WD please?

[size=12]https://community.windy.com/topic/7551/would-you-like-to-report-your-weather-station-data-to-windy/2[/size]

i have already posted on that discussion about doing that

Sorry, I saw there was a lot of comments and I do peruse them for a short while then gave up, glad to hear you have an interest in it.

that windy.com is a really great resource
its amazing what they have done :slight_smile:

Yes it is, it can be a bit over whelming for your average Joe, but for your hobbyist, you cannot fault it.

I see its available now to send data to windy.com (i.e they have an api)
it is beta at this stage

I have this working now, latest .zip update 8O

easy to setup
click on the link in the windy.com setup in WD
fill in your details
note, refresh the page after clicking on save to see your station details
and also get your api key (you first need to register with windy.com)
and enter that into WD in the setup and turn the switch on and set the send times (e.g every 5 minutes)

the data sent and result is in the sentwindycomdata.txt file

one thing though, they are already showing my data via MIDAS (which is via CWOP) so not sure yet if its working (the send result is an OK at least)

Hi all,

Thanks for pulling that off, Brian.

I updated WD and I am uploading to windy.com as well. I have found out that my info showing as well via CWOP. Will keep an eye on it.

Cheers.

I have been chatting with the windy.com developers (the contacted me)
the api url is lively to change as its still in beta
sounds like they will allow station data download too in the future

actually I see that when you check your station info after registering there is a button to take to you view your data
and that shows my actual data that is sent, as the station name is what I registered it up as :slight_smile:
i.e
https://www.windy.com/station/pws-f071a566?-37.128,174.608,8,i:pressure

Thanks for the update Brian. I have just seen that. Actually in the about area, it reports there is a duplicate station at that location. No wonder!, hahaha.

Thanks a lot Brian :slight_smile:

As I explore this, those maps look good.
I may have to replace the WU maps that are stuck on Feb 16th.

I believe they do have a web page insert you can use of which is can be quite comprehensive

new .zip update of WD to change where the data is sent to (they have changed it…it is Beta, so that happens)

my data has been working great overnight

you can scroll through my data…forecast data for my site also shown :slight_smile:

I was just going to download the update and give it a try but, there appears to be technical difficulties with Weather Display page at present…

ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

seems to be OK now?

Yes, it looks ok now, thanks

Got it all working. And yes, you can embed maps on web pages. I have one here: http://www.daculaweather.com/4_us_animation.php
