Nano SD Trouble enabling HWS dashboard

Last week I installed MB Nano SD and all is smooth so far. Now I'm trying to enable the Home Weather Station dashboard. I can't find precise instructions how to do this.
Here is what I did:
Added Local Dashboard in the Weather Nets tab.
Registed at DarkSky and CheckWX, received keys and added them.
Clicked Save at the bottom of page.
When I click "remote Display" I think I should be seeing the HWS dashboard but instead I get Not Found. The URL the "remote Display" button is attempting is "
https://admin.meteobridge.com/MBuniqe/PWS/index.php" where "MBunique" is the unique code to access my MB via web.
I'm located across the country from my Vantage Pro2 so I hope I don't need to tweek any of the template files on the MB drive share. I just returned last night.

URL appears ok, do you have the Internet remote Login ticked on the System tab?

Yes I have checked "Allow login from the Internet via this URL". This is the only way I use it since it's a across the country.
On a side note, I clicked "Reboot" button to install the May 11 update and it appeared to go offline for a minute or so but when it came back up it still slowed the May 5 version as in "May 5 2019, build 2081"
I have Version Control set to "get newest on boot". Before I installed the Nano a week ago, I used Meteobridge on a TP-Link to great success.
Do I need to sign in as root or something?

Saw this reboot/FW update issue a few days ago in conjunction with another issue. Only way I found to pick up the latest FW was to recycle the power

I was clever enough to plug the Davis console into a WiFi switch. But I noticed upon cycling power I need to hold long press the Done button on console to get it to exit setup mode. Not sure if it will do it itself.

NANO does quit console setup mode in restart.

I just cycled power on the consol remotely and it exited setup mode after 10 minutes. It turns out older firmware won’t exit setup mode at all. Looks like I have newer firmware. When I get home I’ll check the url to see if I can get to MB nano.

MB Nano rebooted successfully and installed the latest update.
Now back to my original problem. How to get HWS dashboard working. Remote Display button results with a web page error "Not Found".
The URL is
https://admin.meteobridge.com/b2.....4f/PWS/index.php
Weather Network status on the Live Data tab reports
Dashboard Update: 2019-05-12 11:39:04 Error: 2019-05-12 11:39:03 (no more tries)
Are there any instructions online about how to get HWS working on MB Nano SD?
Thanks,
Mark

Only a suggestion,
firstly recheck your Dark Sky and CheckWX api keys are correct.
does the "local Display" work? http://<ip-of-nano>/PWS/index.php
if yes, goto the Settings of PWS and setup the PWS. http://<ip-of-nano>/PWS/easyweathersetup.php
once setup, see if the remote Display then works

I rechecked the DarkSky and CheckWX keys and they are correct.
The "local Display" button opens a browser page with this URL:
https://admin.meteobridge.com/b2...4f/PWS/index.php
The "remote Display" button opens the same browser page URL.
https://admin.meteobridge.com/b2...4f/PWS/index.php
I changed the browser URL to
http://external-ip-of-nano/PWS/index.php but received "Safari can't connect to server"
I'm assuming your "<ip-of-nano>" is my external IP of the MB network. This weather station is across the country and I will be there again in 5 weeks.
Do I need to setup HWS locally? When I was there last week on the same network I could get to MB via:
http://10.0.1.15/cgi-bin/meteobridge and via the Internet URL.

I still can't get HWS (weather34) to work on my NanoSD.
I'm now across the country at my weather station so I can work on the local network where the Nano is located. I'm here for a week so I'd really like to get this working while I'm here.
The "local Display" button results in "Not Found" when it open a browser page with this URL:
https://admin.meteobridge.com/b2...4f/PWS/index.php
I'm assuming it should be the internal IP
http://10.0.1.15/PWS/index.php (I view Nano using both internal and eternal IP's)
The "remote Display" button results in "Not Found" when it open a browser page with this URL.
https://admin.meteobridge.com/b2...4f/PWS/index.php
I changed the browser URL to
http://external-ip-of-nano/PWS/index.php but received "Safari can't connect to server"
I rechecked the DarkSky and CheckWX keys and they are correct.

So does PWS work locally? your.local.mb.ip//PWS/index.php
Do you have Internet Remote Login: ticked on the system page?
Have you tried a different browser? IE or Chrome

No it doesn't work locally.
I have remote login ticked which is how I mostly access Meteobridge when I'm not here.
I tried with Chrome and got the same result.
I am able to have MB send out to various web sites.

Might be a silly question but Local Dashboard is showing in the Weather Nets tab and it has been saved?

Yes it’s in weather nets tab and I have the two api keys and they are correct.
