Meteobridge stopped uploading to one weather network. **solved**

Hi,

I just signed up so hello to everyone.

To the point, Meteobridge stopped uploading data to Weather Underground the other day. The Monitor tab says "Authorization failed". The other weather networks to which data from this Meteobridge, Ambient Weather, PWS Weather and CWOP is being uploaded continue to receive data. I checked the WU station id and password and the ones entered in Meteobridge match the ones WU uses, so nothing has changed. I'm stumped. Any words of advice? Thank you.

Aloha,

Mark

Some weeks ago there was another run of updates at WU.

One of them is the use of WU_station_Key replacing the user-password in the uploads.

You have to check if your settings in your Meteobridge contain the Key
You find the key in your WU-profile -> Member settings -> My Devices.
After you start using the Station_Key in your Meteobridge it can take an hour or more before your station appears on-line at WU again.

See attached screenshot.

Succes,
Wim

Hi Wim,

That did it. Thanks very much. I had no idea what was going on.
