Weather Underground Camera Timed Out

[mljenkins]

When attempting to setup the airCam to WU, I get the following error:

Error: Weather Underground Camera FTP upload failed: Could not read reply from control connection -- timed out. Could not read reply from control connection -- timed out. Could not read reply from control connection -- timed out. ncftpput: cannot open webcam.wunderground.com: timed out while waiting for server response.

We are on a slow satellite Internet connection, and I think the device is timing out too soon. Is there a way to increase the timeout?

I haven't tried the device yet for uploading weather data to WU. That was my next step, and I'm hoping I don't see the same timeout issues there.

PS: I know this isn't a credentials issue as others have experienced. I am currently using a script on a Linux server to grab the image off the airCam and upload it to WU using the same set of credentials. FTP on Linux apparently has a greater timeout than the meteobridge.

Thanks,

Matt

So it seems sometimes it has a green checkmark, so sometimes it may succeed.

I am thinking perhaps the camera needs a retry interval or timeout setting.

This is what I see on the live data screen for the weather underground camera: 2014-02-03 14:22:19 Error: Could not read reply from control connection -- timed out.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There is a timeout of 10 seconds, but I will set this to 20 seconds on next release.

That would be awesome, thanks!
