Where does it say that non-Rapid Fire updates are the only ones logged on the daily page?

I was aware of the protocol page, which I used to test my scripts, but it doesn't make a real distinction between the two update types...at least from what I saw, so I was just guessing that what you are saying is true...

Chris

I don't think it does say anything about that; I am sorry if I implied that it did.

From my experience, Meteohub has two options for Wunderground--one for normal updates and the other for rapid fire. I just assumed that this was the way that it worked with two update types. There are differences between normal updates and RF updates:

RapidFire Updates allow you to update weather station conditions at a frequency up to once observation every 2.5 seconds. Web site visitors will see these observations change in real-time on the wunderground.com site.
A real-time update should look almost like the standard update.
However, the server to request is:
rtupdate.wunderground.com, not weatherstation.wunderground.com
And, please add to the query string:
&realtime=1&rtfreq=2.5

Does this help?

I mean, it is no problem, but you totally implied that, lol.

Let me switch it to just upload standard updates after an outage and then I'll post the script. Unfortunately, I can't do it tonight. Will try tomorrow night.

Chris

No problem. I'm out of town through Sunday anyway.

Do you know how to log into your meteohub with SSH? I'm going to write some instructions, but I suppose I should know what you can do on your own...

You'll also need the ability to load the 2 scripts on to your device through SMB, FTP or something.

Chris

I can SSH into Meteohub.

Ok.

I'm sorry this is taking so long. Fay took a toll on us, even though we weren't hit. The storms made satellite access horrible, particularly during the time I'm working on trying to fix up these scripts.

However, the "beta" version of the scripts worked fine and I was able to get the lost updates.

I'll endeavor to get this finished before Gustav gets into the gulf!

Sorry for the delay. I haven't forgotten about you. ;-)

Chris

EDIT: 8/26 3:37p PDT - running the final test now, should be ready tonight or tomorrow...

Great. TS Gustav is coming this way.

Will post soon...

Boris,
What would be the chances of pulling data from the Vantage Pro2's datalogger? It would be a lot easier, especially in times of power outages, then keeping the NSLU2 running.

Thanks,
Branson

The work you were doing last year on uploading historical data to Weather Underground would come in handy; I'm away from my weather station and it's been down for a couple of weeks.

At last report, you were about to post the script for the upload process.

Unfortunately, my script wouldn't help much if it wasn't already running when the station went down. Plus, I actually don't have access to my station right now because I moved and the unit was communicating with a computer that isn't set up right now.

However, do you have the Davis WeatherLink software for your PC? I was going to write another script to update Weather Underground from data downloaded into WeatherLink...

Eventually I'll get the other script up for public consumption. Once my move and fixing up this dump of a house is complete, lol.

Chris

Thanks for the response. No Weatherlink, just Meteohub, WMR968 and the router. When I got back to it in Michigan, it was easy enough to get back on line by turning off router and NSLU2, disconnecting them and the Oregon console and reattaching. A simple restart of the NSLU2 didn't seem to be enough. I don't understand why anything else was needed. That's what my neighbor had done in my absence. It suggests that even if I'd installed the restart module, it might not have put me back on line.

But if the script, had it been installed, would send the missing data up to WU, I'll be happy to use it when you get it worked out.

I had/have the same dilemma. While the NSLU2 restart feature is great, a power failure (at my home) will cause the cable modem and router to fail and lose their "sync", requiring reset of those two devices.

I too would love for Meteohub to send historical data to Wunderground when either the internet connection has failed, or the NSLU2 power failed. The latter being the case would require Meteohub to interface with the Davis data logger, while the former might just require a "send historical data to Wunderground" button in the Maintenance section, no? :unsure:
