May be your sensors are not delivering the necessary data? If some of the core sensors are not delivering data Meteobridge will not send just fractional data to the network. Meteobridge demands for Weatherclound at least pressure, wind and outdoor temp. When one is missing no data is sent.

For what it's worth I'm uploading to WeatherCloud with out issue and I feed my Meteobridge with a GW1000. No outages, no data gaps.

Well you should also be sure that you are not attempting to upload with more than one device. Disable the GW1000. Then wait for the given upload period based on your WeatherCloud account. The free account has a 10 minute upload interval. Therefore you must wait at least 10 minutes. You are likely to get an error if you attempt to upload immediately after turning off the GW1000 upload. No harm in turning it on before hand...just know to expect an error. But then after 10 minutes elapses then the MB should be able to upload. If you have a paid account, then you can increase the upload interval to 1 minute I believe.

What can I do to check what the problem is with WB?
Did you read my answer/explanation? Did you check if missing sensor data is the reason?
Sending imcomplete data to a network can't be what you are looking at.

I thought about the missing sensors data, but since the upload to WC worked when I configured it in the GW1000, I then excluded that reason, also because the incomplete data is uploaded correctly to all other networks, the problem was only with WeatherCloud. Moreover, the generic status message "No weather network traffic" didn't help me in the analysis of the issue.

May I ask why the "incomplete data" check applies only to WeatherCloud, among all the other networks I've configured?

Thanks for the explanation, now I know it's not a technical issue, and as soon as I receive the rest of sensors I know the upload will work also with MB.
I will remove the lock to check for complete datas sets being uploaded to WeatherCloud. With next release you can upload any partial data snippets to them you like. Good thing is that I get rid of bug reports which are in essence defective weather station reports. Then it is up to WeatherCloud to decide what to do with this kind of data. Happy user, happy me. :D
