b4017 Update and WU

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

b4017 Update and WU

Post by 92merc »

Just upgraded to b4017. Was pretty straight forward. All of my third party uploads are working except Weather Underground. I've re-entered my Device ID and Station key. But still not updating. I have Rapid Fire also checked.

Seems rapid fire was the cause. I turned that off. Changed interval to 5 minutes. Good enough for WU.

Yeah, my site is WU free. But I've been sending data to WU since 2004. I'm a bit OCD and just can't give it up.

Plus, I have 2 neighbors on WU. I have to compete! :-)

I am uploading to 3 accounts at WU: CU1, WiFiLogger, and CMXv4 each at 5-min interval plus RapidFire enabled and no issues, and wind speed is changing regularly (between 5 to 10 sec at the moment).

Enjoy,
Paul

I don’t often check my Wunderground uploads but I did and there was no data being uploaded from any of my CMX V4 sites even though they were all showing online. I switched off RapidFire and data started showing up on all of them again

I had to wait until overnight for my dayfile to update/upload and NOAA reports to upload. All is working with 4018 for me, except this WU rapid fire.

Not an issue for me. WU is lucky to be getting my data. Just thought I would report on my upgrade to V4.

Interestingly I just checked my WeatherCat Wunderground site and that was not being updated either. I turned off RapidFire there and now it is updating again. So it seems to be a Wunderground/RapidFire problem and not a CMX problem???

My mistake was that I had forgotten that for the WU account with the CMXv4 updates I also had Weatherlink.com upload to that WU account which resulted in my wrong conclusion that CMXv4 was uploading at RapidFire.

I've now done a more accurate look over the past 30 minutes...
CMX3 and CU1 upload to WU in either 5-minute interval without RapidFire and also with RapidFire set (2 different WU stations).
CMX4 uploads to WU in 5-minute interval without RapidFire set but does not upload at all if RapidFire is set.

So I am in agreement with the others on CMX4 not uploading to WU with RapidFire Enabled, but RapidFire works with CMX3.

Enjoy,
Paul

With WU, anything is possible. And nothing, all at the same time.

It might still be a problem with wunderground.. the dashboard tells me that I haven't had a station online or uploaded any data for more than 30 days, and yet the data is there. V3.

When I looked at my Table data, I had data missing. It was showing every 5 minutes of data before. But I had an hour gap, until I disabled RF.
