Meteobridge Pro - sporadic updates to WU, CWOP, etc

Post by tdabbott »

I am a new user of the Meteobridge Pro (via Ambient Weather) and have it synced up with a Davis Vantage Pro2. There seems to be no issues getting frequent updates from the station to the console. I have the Meteobridge Pro plugged in via ethernet to my router - a local IP address shows and I can access it. However, I get about 50% of the day being updated to the major websites (WeatherUnderground, CWOP, etc). It literally stops updating for hours at a time and then once I reboot, it works well for many hours.

What information can I provide to figure this out?

Thanks!

Easiest way would be to let me login and have a look at it.
Here is explained how you setup remote access: viewtopic.php?f=57&t=9885

When you send URL and password to "info(at)meteobridge.com" I can do the remote login.

I'm having the same problem. Just unreliable. I have to check my Wunderground station every 10 minutes just to see if the feed is broken.

When I follow the instructions to allow you to remote access it and click on "this URL" I get this

Similar problem with mine. About 3 weeks ago mine started having troubling updating to WU, but then it started having trouble staying connected to the ISS. The ISS connects to the console without any issues. Now it just randomly connects to WU and/or the ISS but only for very short periods of time (minutes or even seconds).

Although it reads like a server issue, this just tells that the SSH tunnel which should have been setup is not there or not working.
Reason can be a lot of things. Waiting 5 mins does sometimes help, as the Meteobridge tests every 5 mins if the tunnel is up and
running and will rebuild it, when it has dropped. All this of course only happens when you set the "allow remote access" mark.
