New To Cumulus - Trying to get a VP2 to work on WU
Posted: Fri 16 Feb 2018 5:14 pm
Hi all,
I'm new to Cumulus. I'm in the process of replacing my old Radio Shack WX-200 using FreeWX with a Vantage Pro 2 cabled station using Cumulus. Once I get everything working I'll cut over to the new station. I have the 2 systems set up on separate computers so I can play with the new setup without disturbing my existing setup.
I have VP2 and Cumulus set up and have been able to duplicate my existing webpage using Cumulus' webtags. Worked great.
Existing webpage: http://www.westphalfamily.com/wxdata2.html
New test webpage: http://www.westphalfamily.com/Davis/daviswxdata.html
Now I'm trying to get the new setup uploading to Weather Underground. In Cumulus I have the WU "Enabled" along with "Send Average Wind" with the Station ID in all caps and my WU password and 5 minute interval. And, I edited myPWS in WU to show Davis Vantage Pro 2 Wireless since I didn't see a wired version listed. I tried turning off the WU upload in FreeWX and turning it on in Cumulus but it never showed data on my existing WU Station KCAALTAD1. I tried changing the password to the "key" in MyPWS instead of my WU Password and I got errors. I put everything back original and my FreeWX uploads are working again.
Since that didn't work I decided to set up a new station KCAALTAD61. I set it up in Cumulus with the Station ID in all caps and the password was the "key" provided (case sensitive). Cumulus appears to upload (no errors) but I don't see data on WU. It has been over 24 hours.
I suspect the problem is with WU since they seem to be in a real mess right now but I just wanted to post here to see if anybody has a clue or suggestion.
Thanks
Bill Westphal
