(Doh!) I have just noticed a little more information in the October requests post… Please ignore the following if you wish however it would be good for more detail on the setup. I suspect the NexstormNG software maybe the route to take…I am quite happy to be a tester if needed…
Another question please. I have just re-installed my Stormtracker PCI system and it is now running. I see that we can use the output on the template. I have searched but cannot find where to find or generate the NSRealtime.txt file. I have the old version of nexstorm (v1.9) running. Would it be better if I have the new NexstormNG software instead. Will this give better and more meaningful data?
Just love the template, is there a way to send a few “beer” tokens to thank you for your efforts?
In my chart for wind today and wind month:
Since August 26, winds and gusts have been swapped.
The ./chartsmydata/today.txt file also appears to have swapped values.
Thanks for finding this error, which occurs only for stations who get their data from WU.
And use their website to store the graphs data, as you are doing from August 26.
Attached an updated script
Documentation (mostly current for beta also) at https://pwsdashboard.com/ includes now the beta download link
=> http://pwsdashboard.com/hws_download2019.php?id=betatest
The download will start immediately and the zip can be found in your download folder.
Unzip and upload the pws??/ folder to your webserver.
DO NOT upload the scripts to your current pwsWD/ folder
The index.php will detect that setup need to run first. Password for easy-weather setup is 12345.
Or copy the w34_settings1.php from your current pws folder first
Extra weather-program supported: WeatherFlow (WF) in native mode
The WF users who upload to WU could already use the WU version.
But that WU version is not yet using the all-new history file for missing data.
I am testing that feature with the WF version first.
IMPORTANT
To fill the history table you need to use all three cron-jobs.
Current dashboard version only uses two
w34_cron_stationcron.php => every 5 minutes
w34_cron_addtoyear.php => every day at 23:55
but you need also
w34_cron_empty.php => every day at 00:10
There will small missing / errors in the documentation as I changed a lot of scripts in this third version.
I will finish latest updates this week and then update all documentation.
no particular problems for the template installation
may need to review .css for layout modulesadjusted and updated blocks version
for charts and storage of historical data : if not bother to copy the “chartsmydata” folder to fill the table …?
Best Regards

Same with me, temps in Celsius and barometer is not correct not showing inHg. Also in the advice block it says Dew Point is below freezing and in Celsius, but says it is F
The returned data list the [station_units] as F, mph as imperial
The observation data [obs][0] is in metric, without any indication of which units are used for wind where metric should be m/s
This will only show when there is testdata from imperial users. Thanks for testing.
I will change changed the script to not use the units from [‘station_units’]
