Uploads to Weather Networks

Post by yellowsnow »

My uploads to weather underground have started fail.

Since 2008 it has been uploading every 6 minutes or so. This past June it started to only upload every several hours or so and then stopped completely. After about 6 weeks it seemed to resume on its own. This was after I pulled up the web interface to see if some settings needed changing, none did. I replaced my original NSLU2 with a Sheevaplug in August and uploads continued every 6 minutes or so until this past weekend. Now it is only sending uploads about every 7 hours. Here's the response from weather underground.

"Yes, it looks like we are receiving data from your station every couple of hours. Only 7 observations today. Possibly this is an issue with your WeatherBridge or your internet connection? You may want to contact the makers of WeatherBridge for troubleshooting."

Meteohub also uploads weather display live and weather data to my web hosting plan. This has not been affected. So my internet connection is OK

So, any help or insights will be appreciated. I will also follow this up with my internet provide to see if there is a routing issue.

Are you talking about Meteohub/Weatherhub or Meteobridge/Weatherbridge?

It is Meteohub/Weatherhub on a Sheevaplug with the latest 4.9v I believe.

Does "meteohub log" on "Log Files" page show errors regarding data processing?

I'm going to have to get on site to be able to troubleshoot this further. It may be up to 2 weeks before I get there. I'll reply at that time with as much detail as possible.

I have reviewed the logs.
The meteohub log indicates no errors are occurring.
The system log doesn't indicate any associated errors.

The alarm log indicates on a regular basis that the weather underground cannot be reached. I have set the upload for 180 seconds. Whereas the successful uploads occur every 360 seconds, every second upload. Not sure why this is happening. However in my opinion I believe the issue to be routing. I'll pursue this with my ISP.
