My Davis Vantage Pro2 has been running in Weewx faultlessly for over two years now and so my problem is unlikely to be Weewx related, however, I can’t think of a better place to ask for potential solutions to my problem. My detailed knowledge of ‘things internet’ is pretty limited.
Weewx sends data every 5 minutes to Weather Underground. Over the last several months my station does not appear consistently on my WU dashboard map or on the Wundermap. It’s been getting worse for months and I don’t understand what the issue could be. Sometimes the station appears, mostly now it doesn’t. I can see from my Weewx log that data is being posted every 5 minutes, and from the WU dashboard data table that data is being received by WU. The WU dashboard shows eg “Online(updated 1 minute ago)” and the data table on my WU dashboard is being populated. I read that WU checks your station data for consistency with local stations and stops showing your data if it’s inaccurate, however many random checks between my readings and two local stations on WU show no significant differences. The data timestamp for the last data entry on my WU data table is always 5 to 20 minutes older than the current time. The two local stations do appear consistently on the Wundermap and the timestamp on their dashboards are within 5 minutes of the current time leading me to think the problem could possibly be internet related. The internet here is not great by current standards, with a max upload of 1 mbps (it’s a rural location, no fibre), but the 2 other local stations (which do not appear to run Weewx) will have the same internet limitations. My ping to Google is consistently between 50 and 90 ms if that’s relevant. I’ve had the internet provider check out my connection a couple of times. I had a new router and they did some other tweaks, but they say there are no issues. I experimented with posting data every one minute to WU but that had no effect. I have also contacted WU a couple of times but didn’t get any responses. So I’m out of ideas. Any thoughts to get my station to appear on the WU map would be greatly appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
