Yes, I know this.  The aeris map is an option.  I chose this option because 
they provide a better looking map.  I have since reverted to the windy map.

Are you using the aeris maps?  That's where I found my issue.  The maps 
rack up hundreds of requests per hour and max you out real quick.  I turned 
off aeris maps and now I have less than 300 hits per day.

So, I've solved my problem.  If you're using the aeris free account on 
their contributor plan, do not turn on aeris maps in the belchertown 
settings.  I don't know what has changed on their end because I have had 
the same configuration for many years, but now the map will make thousands 
of hits per hour and they will shut you down when you exceed your allowed 
5,000 hits.  I turned off the aeris maps and all looks well so far.

I've done that.  Should have mentioned in original post.  I've changed my 
password, deleted and created a new app.  My hit count reset at 1900EST and 
within an hour I was at ~600 hits, and that's with forcasting turned off in

thinking I may need to delete my account with them and re-create a new

Is anyone else having problems with aeris forcasting?  For the past few 
weeks my access credits have been running out resulting in my webpage not

my activity on aeris the hits keep coming.  I don't know who is making 
these requests.  My aeris credits are racking up at an average of a few 
hundred an hour, even with forcasting turned off.  I've contacted aeris

Raspberry Pi 2 with raspbian buster

This runs in a cycle of approximately every 6 minutes.  Nothing else 
running on this machine.

[weewx-user] Re: Sky Cover data to pwsweather.com

2021-02-20 Thread bchap...@gmail.com
Gary,  Thanks for your research on this.  I didn't know it there was some 
way of calculating this data in weewx and posting that I was missing.  I'm 
attempting to like the AerisPulse app but when the conditions they report 
to me are ~15 degrees different, it's difficult to do.  On the morning of 
January 30th, my station was reporting a current temp of -15.2, Aeris was 
reporting -2 for the same zip code.  It's hard to support or recommend an 
app with that much error.

And thanks for the explaination on the missing posts.  I kept getting a 
message that the post was deleted as soon as I posted it.  I ended up 
sending it through email.

This is the response I got from Aeris when I asked them why I wasn't seeing 
my own data in "Current Conditions" in the AerisPulse app:

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for reaching out to AerisWeather!  For the purposes of providing 
complete weather data, the Aeris Pulse app is currently designed to only 
return stations that provide sky coverage information.  In your location, 
the nearest station that provides those details is several miles away, 
which is why you are seeing those results.  

If you haven't already, you may want to go to settings > data options and 
select "All" as the observations source.  This will ensure that the closest 
station that provides sky data will be utilized.  

There is an alternative solution that may help you access the data coming 
specifically from your station.  Because you are a PWS contributor, you are 
eligible for the contributor plan from AerisWeather.  It allows you to 
access weather data through our API for no cost while your station is 
sending information to our servers.  You can find more details here.  

Hopefully that helps to explain the behavior you are seeing!  If you have 
any additional questions, please let me know.  
Thanks,
Nate

Thank you for the explanation.  I incorrectly thought that cloudcover was 
the data expected by pwsweather.  Now that I see that it is more involved, 
I will wait patiently.  The reason for my interest is that the AerisPulse 
app gives me data from a station many miles from me when I am reporting 
data to them.  Their explanation is that they only use data from stations 
that report Sky Cover data.  All others are ignored.

Again, thanks for the explanation.

I don't know.  I don't think it has anything to do with Belchertown.  
pwsweather is looking for sky cover percentage.  I know that a few stations 
report this and I'm wondering how it is done.  All other data is 
reporting.  My data is calculating cloud base however, pwsweather is 
looking for a percentage.  Any ideas?
