Trouble adding In-Situ AquaTROLL 500 #612

Open paulmullinax opened 2 years ago

paulmullinax commented 2 years ago

Underneath the Monitor My Watershed Sensor Data Manual, there is a section talking about how to send data from a data logger. In that section there is a link that is supposed to contain detailed instructions on how to connect our data logger to our sites. Unfortunately, that link takes us to a wiki that is deprecated. After looking at the documentation, I still do not see the detailed instructions for connecting our data logger to. My company just got a new data logger called an AquaTROLL 500 that is made by In-Situ and we would love to share our data with the world but are having a hard time doing so.

Hi there! I received the help request you submitted through the WikiWatershed.org contact form and replied via email. I've copied it in here, in case someone stumbles upon this issue:

I apologize for the inconvenience. We are in the process of transitioning our help documentation; here is the updated version: Monitor My Watershed EnviroDIY Sensor Data Manual. I believe I have fixed the link that took you to the outdated version.

If I'm reading this correctly, you have a registered site on MonitorMyWatershed.org and you want to start streaming data from an In-Situ AquaTROLL 500 to the site? The process should be covered in manual section 7. Sending/Uploading Sensor Data, subsection Uploading CSV Sensor Data.

I did a test by logging in to my MonitorMW account, going to My Sites, selecting a site, and then clicking the Manage Sensor button. However, on the next page, when I click the plus sign to add a new sensor, I don't see your sensor model listed. You will need to follow the instructions at the bottom of the Add New Sensor window so the Monitor My Watershed team can add it.

@paulmullinax,

You need to program your data logger to send HTTP POST requests to our data-stream API, following syntax similar to what is documented here: https://github.com/ODM2/ODM2DataSharingPortal/blob/main/doc/example_rest_requests.md

Let us know if this helps you.

I use the In-situ Level Troll 500 for depth and temperature. Then it streams over the internet via the Mayfly with a Digi CAT-M1 LTE modem using Verizon. One active site is Trout Unlimited California https://monitormywatershed.org/sites/TUCA-Na13/ On MonitorMyWatershed configuration I select a similar device "LT700" and put in the notes for accuracy that its actually an LT500.
I don't believe it actually matters what the MMW device is, so long as it has the right parameters of interest , eg water depth and water temperature.
