Anyone else having problems with Weather Underground again?

....  Wunderground-RF: Failed to publish record....
....  Wunderground-RF: Failed to publish record....
....  Wunderground-RF: Failed to publish record....

I sent WU a message but this is the same station that is missing the pressure reading on their app but pressure appears just fine on the web.  No response on that issue.  Sigh, remember when WU just worked as intended?  LOL

Yes, I noticed this AM that WU stopped updating.

Sigh, again.

Surprise, surprise I got a reply!

Thank you for reaching out.  I checked the information we have for your station, and it looks like it went down when we turned off the old infrastructure.  So the station is hanging on to something it ought not.

The best thing to do is to reboot/reset/power cycle everything from the instrument itself to the internet, including your router if you can.  That should insure a fresh connection to us.

Please let me know if you don’t see data again on the PWS dashboard within about 20-30 minutes after finishing the reset.

Pretty mysterious. I wonder if this is due to using a password instead of an id key?

Turned on weewx debugging ...

Maybe version 3.9.1 has the old URL?

Which is odd, my other 3.9.1 station is running just fine.

Also I switched from the old password method to the ID key.  No change, still broken.

I’m on 3.9.1 and am seeing the failure to publish as well. Mine started as the first update after midnight on Oct 5. So they changed something at their end, as I was asleep at that time.

Just restarted everything based on the earlier email to the list, no success (and I didn’t expect it either).

V3.9.2 switched from using http to https. That could definitely be the issue.

Guess I'm going to upgrade to the latest & greatest.  :)

Stand by...

Updated to v4.8 and still receiving the same error...

Guess I'll reboot the router and see if that helps.  My remaining 3.9.1 station is running fine, even with the old password.  Go figure.  LOL

Reboot of the router seems to have fixed the issue.  Weird.

Thanks all,

So I finally got around to rebooting my router and restarting weewx, and nothing. Still offline.

My only thoughts are to turn on debugging and/or upgrade weewx.
