wind guru weather info submission

looks doable
but how popular is it, how much demand?

[Hi Brian!

In Europe I would say quite popular. They have a rather reliable forecast (gfs and wrf mostly). For sailing I use this one along with predictwind. I dont know if that makes it worth the work.

Thanks for considering It anyways.

Best regards!

I have added support now
to this update
http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/weatherdisplaytest.zip

tested and works here

Thanks a lot Brian!

I just download the new zip files and I am testing it as well. Works perfectly so far. 8)

Best regards!

that’s good
I originally looked at adding support for this years ago but I see the site has improved a lot since then :wink:

They renewed the site a few months ago. New prediction models as well. It is a good thing to be given a free susbscription to their pro service. It is quite cheap and I have been paying for a few years now but is a way to attract more users to their network.

I am happy to hear that it wasn’t too much hassle on your side. That is always a good thing.

So what is next?, windy.com upload?? :lol:

yes, windy.com would be good, once they have more info about the api
a few hours on a sunday afternoon and I had the windguru support working :wink:

Good to hear windy.com will be brought along as well.

I have been exploring the windguru stations map as well, they have a fair amount of members all over the world.

Thanks again Brian.

Everyone take care.

Hi,

Thats great.
But i cant see WD in the list of station types from windguru to use as station type.

With kindest regards.

that will be because no one has asked them to add WD

Hi all,

I did ask them this morning. I let them know the work that Brian had done on his side.

He answered right away:

“Thanks for this. I will be glad to feature Weather Display as one of supported options at https://stations.windguru.cz/

Asperitas, in the mean time what I did is just select API upload (last in the listing).

Regards!

Hi,

Thanks, i got it working now i think with the API method.
But im still in windguru free mode, no pro like you suggested

Hi,

Now WD appears as a supported software: https://stations.windguru.cz/

Asperistas. Glad I could help you. I read somewhere it takes a couple days for them to convert accounts into the pro version. You can write to [email protected]. I wrote them yesterday and answered right away. I already had the pro version, so I don’t know what will happen to my account.

Saludos!

thanks for getting WD added :slight_smile:

No problem!.

I was surprised how quickly they did that.

Hi,
this is Vaclav from Windguru
Now you can choose “Weather Display” as station type at https://stations.windguru.cz/register.php
If you would like to have the free Windguru PRO, enter your Windguru username in the appropriate field in the register form (must be existing Windguru username, if you do not have the account yet you can register at https://www.windguru.cz)
The PRO will not activate immediately but during max 24 hours after the station sends first data.
Enjoy!

Great , thanks alot😁
Due to circomstances my station havent run for 24 hours.
Has it to run 24 hours uniterrupted to gain the pro Status?

With the kindest regards.

Don’t worry, it’s not too strict, if it sends at least something during last 7 days it is considered alive and PRO stays active

Ok thanks for your reply.

With kindest regards.

New station reporting in windGuru in the north of Mauritius (Bain Boeuf)
