Is anybody else having problems with Windy, I’m getting Username/Password Authentication Failed, have checked on the site and it does say offline, tried getting a new api key etc but when I put them into my Nano I get green ticks but the Username/Password Authentication Failed appears in my status pages?

Re: Windy not working?
Mine is offline too. Still picking it up MADIS but PWS is offline.
I have just been using the old API so far as it is supposed to be good until the end of year.
Maybe some maintenance goin on.
I wonder if that is actually the error messages I get on my CMx4 terminal screen every so often. I see there is a string of them the last couple hours or so. It says "Error connecting to station, waiting 30 seconds to try again"
I always assumed it was an error connecting to the PWS input.

Hmm, trouble is that I can’t set up a new station using the old api anymore?
Re: Windy not working?
IDK I would expect it is probable they have it set to only accept the new for new stations.
FYI. Mine started working again.

??
Do you have a numeric ID or is it alphabetical?

Re: Windy not working?
In my Cumulus and WiFi Logger (not used) settings, the Station ID is 0. The API is Alpha/Numeric.
