Upload to PWS fails

[Ken Harlan]

Recent rebuild of my Pi-2 weewx software is failing to upload to PWS.

H/S info:  Pi-2, Buster ver. 10. weewx ver. 4.1.1, ethernet cable.

Question:

How/where is "station_url must be specified\n'" specified?

Conf:

  # If the connection type is ethernet, an IP Address/hostname is required:

    host = 192.168.1.10/24 

   [[PWSweather]]

        # This section is for configuring posts to PWSweather.com.

        

        # If you wish to do this, set the option 'enable' to true,

        # and specify a station and password.

        # To guard against parsing errors, put the password in quotes.

        enable = true

        station = KCACLARE3

        password = "xxxxx"

Syslog  output:

We're looking at two different things.

It's the station registry which requires that the station_url be specified. This is the unique identifier used to identify your station. It can be a link to your Weather Underground page, or your PWS page, or anything else, provided it is unique. It is found in the [Station] section of weewx.conf.

The upload to PWSWeather failed for unknown reasons. My station has also been failing for the last 3-4 hours. Perhaps they are having some problems on their end?

Thanks Tom for the prompt response.  I left the station_url blank as I thought that was if I had a personal webpage.  I will past the PWS url in and see what happens.

Tom,

Joe Torsitano at Aries (PWS) sent me the following.  I am getting correct data from the Davis console as the weewx.html is correct.   Do you think I may have gotten a corrupt install?

Your system isn't sending any of the parameters parameters which are used so there's nothing to display.  This is all that's being sent...

No, I do not think you got a corrupt install. 

Joe is correct in that it does look like the normal types, such as outTemp, windSpeed, dewpoint, etc., are not being sent.

I have no idea where the types that are being sent, such as humidity1, humidity2, feelLike1, came from. They are not part of WeeWX, nor are they measured by a Davis Vantage. Do you have some extensions that are adding them? You need to describe your system, as well as include a full log.

Tom,

I have a fresh install of Buster ver. 10, weewx rev. 4.1.1 on a Pi 2. Getting data from the Vantage VUE displayed in the weewx.html file.  

I have attached a syslog file and the weewx.conf file.  I have a question regarding the setup.py utility.  The selection designation for the vantage vue?

[Tom Keffer]

That all looks normal. However, I do wonder about the URL that Joe sent to you. It indicates a station type of "AMBWeatherV4.1.1" and a Phoenix time zone.

Please try setting debug=2 in weewx.conf, then restarting. Let it run through a reporting cycle of two, then post the resultant log. 

Setting debug=2 will cause weewx to log the URL that is being sent to PWSWeather.

Tom, darn I missed that in Joe's response that PWS was sending the Ambient weather station I have at a house in Payson AZ.  I will let him know what is happening.  I no longer need that station reporting on PWS.

Thanks for the help and I apologize  for not catching that.  FYI my station stopped working a few days prior to my upgrading so I thought it was a good tine upgrade.  Should have checked with PWS prior to making changes at this end.

Thanks again, and I think weewx is a great example of a good software package.

Ken 

[Ken Harlan]

Sorry to keep bothering but I am still unable to upload to PWS.  The Payson1 station has been removed so only the KCACLARE3 station is registered.  I am thinking there must be something wrong with the conf file. Attached is the the weewx.conf file.  (Do not seem to attach the conf and syslog at the same time.) 

[Ken Harlan]

Here is the syslog with debug set to 2.

I'm not understanding what the problem is. The log shows two uploads: one at 13:18:13, and one at 13:30:23. 

Am I missing something?

If those uploads look correct to you then there must be something wrong at PWS.  The data does not show up on the site although it shows it is active.

Thanks Tom, I will contact PWS.

The log indicates the 1300 and 1330 records were uploaded. But, looking at your PWS page for yesterday (Oct-5), I'm not seeing the two data points.

Thanks for the help.  Problem is solved.  For some mysterious reason my Ambient station in Payson AZ station started to send data to the PWS.  We powered down the Payson station and reset it and all is well.
