Hi Rob
The 6 digit pin is the one you made up when you registered, hope you wrote it down!

I registered an account, but not a site to start with, dont know anything about a 6 digit pin, does that mean i need to re-register?

[Tau Bootis]

Yes you need to register a site

[robynfali]

when did you get the 6 digit pin tho, when you registered the account only, because i dont remember seeing one

[Tau Bootis]

I'm not sure as I did it all in one go and can't remember at which point the pin number was asked for, are you able to add a site to your account?

Just had a look and you need to create a new site then it asks for a pin

[robynfali]

NOT without the pin number lol!

[Tau Bootis]

Are you logged in yet; is it the password its asking for.

When you set up your site you make up a pin number, you then use your made up number in setting up Cumulus. I hope this makes sense.

When you first create the Site you are asked for a 6 digit AWS pin -- just make up a number. You will use this in Cumulus to identify who you are (keep the pin secret to you and Cumulus only).

Does the site test for 123456 and 654321 I wonder? And six digits, how tempting for a phone number

[robynfali]

ok, done all that (correctly I think), back in cumulus i entered the pin i put on the website, and my account password, is that correct?

You need to put in your Station ID, which appears to be 769322, and your 6-digit PIN.

Your Twitter link doesn't show wind speed. Do you take a feed from WU (as I do) or use the Cumulus setting?

[Tau Bootis]

OK Rob we can now see your WOW site but no data yet, so assuming you have enabled it in Cumulus and set the upload interval;
try changing the ‘reporting hours’ in the wow setup to ‘U’ just for today, because when I changed mine from U to C all my data disappeared, I changed it back to U and it came back, it could be waiting until 09:00 for the first data.

On the other hand it may have been just a coincidence and that setting had nothing to do with it.

Regards

No mate, Steve had it right, i had got the wrong details in for the station ID, its showing up now, except its not showing the sunshine readings, but again it could be waiting for the 9am thing, i will see what its like in the morning!

except its not showing the sunshine readings

The "automatic" interface doesn't have a sunshine parameter.
