Data not showing on Windy #4

Closed TadhgMor closed 5 years ago

TadhgMor commented 5 years ago

I suspect the data being posted is not in a form Windy expects. Windy indicates my station is reporting but not showing any data for it. Nor is Windy showing an icon for the station which supports the bad data theory.

Is there a way this can be run from the command line to see what the data it is submitting ?

thanks Tim

set debug=2 in weewx.conf then restart weewx. the monitor the log file.

TadhgMor commented 5 years ago

I've set debug=2 and I see this..

Apr 18 15:25:24 monitor weewx[21595]: restx: Windy: url: https://stations.windy.com/pws/update/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJjaSI6MTAyMjg0NCwiaWF0IjoxNTU1NDc3Nzg0fQ.GaZk1vhJ0lM7kDIZV9W-an0otxCz

I dont think its supposed to look like that !

TadhgMor commented 5 years ago

actually thats only the api key, I cant see anything beyond it.

matthewwall commented 5 years ago

i think you are running an old copy of windy.py

the latest should be a GET (not a POST) with all of the parameters in the GET

TadhgMor commented 5 years ago

uninstalled and downloaded new version, reinstalled diff says my windy.py is the same as the new one.

My problem was journalctl wasn't wrapping the line to my terminal so I didn't see the other data.

Now that I can see the data submitted I see...

dateutc=2019-04-18+04%3A40%3A00&dewpoint=12.4625290438&temp=28.088889228&precip=0.0&gust=1.00000248549&uv=4.0&winddir=127.180007134&pressure=1018.77222358&station=0&baromin=1026.872 24664&rh=38.1111111111&wind=0.494445674955 after the api key.

BUT I'm still not showing up on Windy.com

I notice that you have no "info" section of the data submitted, i.e.

station - 32 bit integer; required for multiple stations; default value 0; alternative names: si, stationId
shareOption - text one of: Open, Only Windy, Private; default value is Open
name - text; user selected station name
latitude - number [degrees]; required; north–south position on the Earth`s surface
longitude - number [degrees]; required; east–west position on the Earth`s surface
elevation - number [metres]; height above the Earth's sea level (reference geoid); alternative names: elev, elev_m, altitude
tempheight - number [metres]; temperature sensor height above the surface; alternative names: agl_temp
windheight - number [metres]; wind sensors height above the surface; alternative names: agl_wind

Given the statement ...

"Station record in the database is created as soon as required info params are uploaded"

Shouldnt we also have the info section ?

matthewwall commented 5 years ago

there is no info section for http GET, only for POST

try pasting the full url from the log into a web browser, and see what response you get from the windy servers

matthewwall commented 5 years ago

i think this is a bug in the windy servers. they accept imperial units but not metric.

matthewwall commented 5 years ago

please try commit 131f46f

TadhgMor commented 5 years ago

Pasting a URL directly into a browser I get a response of SUCCESS with the old URL

trying new commit now

TadhgMor commented 5 years ago

that fixed it ! - they have a metric problem :(

matthewwall commented 5 years ago

and there seem to be even more problems with their POST implementation. too bad, because GET is not the right way to do this. have they learned nothing from all the years of lousy WU behavior?

oh well, at least something works.

TadhgMor commented 5 years ago

I'll close this thread for now, and post comments on the Windy forum to see if I get a response to POST & Metric not working. Thanks for your efforts, at least I'm showing up in the stations map now :)
