Windy.com setup

Hi just wondering if you should be able to copy and past the API from Windy into the setup page? If you can its not allowing it
also the link to the windy weather stations does not work i.e it is not clickable
Thanks John

you should be able to right mouse click into the edit box and select paste

It doesnt work but I have added the very long API the hard way an that worked :smiley:

OH
I will check it out
there was another way → adding it to the settings file

anyway, good it is working :smiley:

I tested pasting text from a memo
and that worked

so it might be instead a problem with the copying to the linux clipboard from the windy.com web site

I copied and pasted into a document and tried it that way but still not successful.
anyway I see my station on the map but there is no data i.e temp etc populating :?

https://www.windy.com/station/pws-f06ebe19?-33.936,148.599,8,i:pressure

see what shows in the sentwindycom.txt file

SUCCESS (partial)
invalid measurement values: ‘winddir’: 312ts=1555722960;

I guess that means the wind direction is wrong? :?

there is a & missing
I fixed that the windows version
but need to do that for the linux version
I will do that now
but all the other data should be working

new update ready to try

OK that seems to have worked here is the output of sentwindy.com.txt file “SUCCESS”
Just have to wait a little while to see what happens on Windy :smiley:

One thing
Make sure you have the time zone set
Correct in the sun/ moon rise / set and
Solar setup
So that the UTC time is correct

looks like its working now

Again thanks very much for all the work that you do, VERY much apreciated :smiley:
Best Regards

Hi Brian, yes it worked but its not updating automatically. unless I run test a data send every hour nothing happens
here is the output of sendwindycomdata,

ah
so the automatic running of the cron program is not happening?

You might want to remove your private API key from the first post.

I see the problem, I had used code from the Mac version, and the nameing of the cron program is different to linux
upoading a fix now

Thanks Mark :slight_smile:
