After 5 years, Vantage Vue, MeteoStick and Meteobridge have stopped working and don't know why

Post by kdrotar »

Hello.

I hope you are well and hopefully you can help.

For 5+ years I have had a Davis 6357 connected to a MeteoStick 1.0 and TP-Link Meteobridge (small white box). It has worked flawlessly until a few days ago and now it isn’t showing any raw data or uploading to Wunderground like it used to.

The Davis unit still seems to be sending a signal (blinking green light).
The MeteoStick blinks green.

However, the MeteoBridge configuration software looks different than it used to, and I may not be configuring it correctly.

For the “Primary Station” do I choose “Vantage” or “MeteoStick Vantage”?

Has something changed with recent firmware/software updates?

Any help would be appreciated. This has worked wonderfully for years.

Thank you!

Since you now have the most recent version of the Meteobridge Software dated May 6 and that seems to be when you started having problems I suggest reverting to an earlier version of the Meteobridge software that you know was working and see if that solves the issue. If so you know there’s a bug in the most current release as it pertains to your setup.

You should choose "Meteostick Vantage" as that is what you use.
The other choice is used for Davis VP stations with a logger .

=== Question: When did it stopped working?

=> Did it work with the old configuration until the last moment?
F.i. you installed the new version for another reason.
Probably a configuration problem, either with selecting the station or a WiFi problem

=> Or did it stopped working with the old version?
F.i. To try to solve the problem you installed the newest update.
That could mean that after 5 years the device failed

Thank you for your responses! I did revert back to 5.0, but then also noticed that setting up the station is now a two-part step with the newer UI in Meteobridge (there used to be one long page with various checkmarks and boxes to fill).

It seems to be working, but since I didn't check the software change by itself, I'm not certain if it was that or my Station configuration. In any case, thank you for replying. I really appreciate it. Here is what my Station configuration now looks like:
now it's working!
now it's working!
