Is anybody else having problems with Windy, I’m getting Username/Password Authentication Failed, have checked on the site and it does say offline, tried getting a new api key etc but when I put them into my Nano I get green ticks but the Username/Password Authentication Failed appears in my status pages?

Mine is offline too. Still picking it up MADIS but PWS is offline.

I have just been using the old API so far as it is supposed to be good until the end of year.

Maybe some maintenance goin on.

I wonder if that is actually the error messages I get on my CMx4 terminal screen every so often. I see there is a string of them the last couple hours or so. It says "Error connecting to station, waiting 30 seconds to try again"

I always assumed it was an error connecting to the PWS input.

Hmm, trouble is that I can’t set up a new station using the old api anymore?

IDK I would expect it is probable they have it set to only accept the new for new stations.

FYI. Mine started working again.

Do you have a numeric ID or is it alphabetical?

In my Cumulus and WiFi Logger (not used) settings, the Station ID is 0. The API is Alpha/Numeric.

I wonder if Boris can shed some light on on this ?

Is the meteobridge compatible with the new Windy Api ? as it appears that it is not possible to create a new station on Windy and get Meteobridge to send to it via the Windy weather network entry on my Nano SD.

So they say to use ID and PWD to upload station. Like I said, I have not changed anything and am still uploading with station ID "0" and the old API key.

Attached image is what I see when I look at my registered station on the Windy Stations page. The ID is letter f, 6 numbers, and letter f.

The PWD is a long string similar to API string.

I don't know what would happen if I tried to change. I guess I should try sometime as the old API will go away at end of year.

FYI Not sure if I mentioned or not but I am using RPI for MB.

Hello everyone,

I am not sure if this has been resolved for @davidmc36, but I am having the same problem: I set up a new Windy station several days ago and got an API key, but the uploading from my Meteobridge PRO2 always fails. My Windy station ID is alphanumeric and my station is shown as "Offline" on the Windy website.

I have tried both using the API key and the Windy station password under the Meteobridge "Weather Nets" tab, but neither one works.

When I use the Windy station password, the error in the "Upload Status" tab is:

Error: 2026-04-07 11:21:29 Username/Password Authentication Failed. (no more tries)

When I use the API key, the error in the "Upload Status" tab is:

Error: 2026-04-07 11:26:32 https://stations.windy.com/pws/update/a ... 0.0&uv=1.4: 2026-04-07 11:26:35 ERROR 400: Bad Request. (no more tries)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

same as me, I was hoping Boris would get help, but sadly not yet.

Has everybody checked the latest release log for updates on April 1 & April 4?

Personally not, but then why would I when there has not been any response to any of the comments?

On another forum I saw Windy no longer allowed http access - changed to https. Maybe thats the issue and an update is needed.

Yes, I am on the latest version (April 4). The updates did not fix the problem.
