Davis AirLink Professional Air Quality Sensor (7210UK)

[Phil23]

I can see the AirLink data, no problem (http://203.129.24.45:8086/v1/current_conditions).
So I would suggest you check your IP routing @Phil. Somewhere on he way it is blocked inside your local net.

Ok,

So External IP's can see my data, that's fine.
Betel's page, http://www.beteljuice.co.uk/betel_AQ/davis_example3.php, as see it,
But my page at my Hosting service can't see it from http://weather.inverellit.com/al/davis_example.php

That tend to suggest it's something not right at my host's end.
Everything internally must be right as I can access the AL on both it's local IP & via my external IP & forwarded port.

Is there a simple test I can upload to my website to see if it can access my public IP?

IE can inverellit.com [116.0.23.207] access my 203.129..... Address?

Phil.

[Phil23]

Another random thought.

Does this fall under the banner of cross site scripting (which I know little about).

Could it be that the PHP service on my host is blocked from accessing other IP addresses outside it's own.

Could almost delete that thought without posting, as I assume that would also break the HighCharts.

Phil.

Edit:- Just tried copying the JSON file up to my host & pointing the URL to it there; that works as expected, but it's obviously not getting live data.

It almost sounds like NAT-loopback is disabled on your router?!

[Mapantz]

I suggest trying a free dynamic dns and pointing your external IP at it, and then see if you can view it..

Yes. Some configuration issue somewhere.
Has been discussed here about half a year ago I think. Brought up by you Phil if I remember well, same issue.

[beteljuice]

Yea - literally as I was investigating various paths - you've got it working

[Phil23]

Wondered about loopback, but given that I can access the Airlink internally via the public IP, that seems not the case.
It seems more like my hosting site is not able to get to my forwarded port.

Just been looking in cPanel, & I can see errors which I think correspond to accessing the page.

Pretty much getting out of my depth though.

Edit, Did also try renaming my .htaccess file to see if that helped, but no change.

Code: Select all

I'm just wondering why you're having to put the port number in to your URL?

Scrap that.

PHP settings blocking something?

[beteljuice]

@Phil ...

but you had it IS working - honest ... did you see my post ?

@beteljuice

Nah, that's just a fudge I was testing.
I Saved a copy of the JSON data in /al & am currently pointing the URL to that file....

http://weather.inverellit.com/al/current_conditions

Currently that's stuck at 7:35am.

If anyone know a simple way to save the local URL to a file I could just uploaded that in realtime or at 10 min intervals.

[Phil23]

Don't know if this is a good idea for a work around, but I can make a script for PowerShell like this....

Code: Select all

$url = "http://192.168.59.236/v1/current_conditions"
$file = "c:\CumulusMX\Data\AirLink.txt"
$ProgressPreference = "SilentlyContinue";
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -outfile $file

It would need to run repeatedly & be uploaded via FTP.

Sounds a bit cludgy....

[Phil23]

Current Attempt seems to be working but still a Cludge....

Calling a Realtime External program....

Code: Select all

C:\CumulusMX\Scripts\Curl "http://192.168.59.236/v1/current_conditions" --silent --output C:\CumulusMX\Scripts\AirLink.txt

Then also a Realtime Upload & have the URL set to the file that gets pushed up.

Very annoying to be having the DOS box flash on the screen every 5 seconds, but at least the data's getting out there.

Edit:- Is there anyway of making the command box hidden, or appearing minimised?

Interesting Anomaly @Beteljuice,

I can refresh your page to my heart's content; it just updates.

Refreshing mine, http://weather.inverellit.com/al/davis_example.php , I receive a prompt,

Only primary difference is that on my instance I'm uploading & referring to a file on the site in the directory that your code is in.

Phil.

[beteljuice]

I have no problem refreshing that page ...

NB: If you have used any of the lang / class options ("... used information that you entered"), then tried a refresh, then you will get that prompt from eg. FireFox

I'm thinking about getting the Davis airlinkbut question do I need a weatherlink or can I configure it straight to cumulus to start uploading data??
