Dear weather observer,Cheers,
We are pleased to announce you that we recently launched Weathercloud, a new weather network where users of automatic weather stations can manage and share their data in real time. Many observers from around the world have already joined the network and we would be happy to count on your participation too.
Weathercloud is free and was created with the aim of becoming a source of very localized weather information from around the world. At the moment the network supports all stations from Davis Instruments and we will add compatibility with more brands soon.
The site also offers additional features such as managing your own weather database, plotting interactive graphs from historical records and much more. You will find further information in our FAQ section.
Please feel free to visit our page: http://weathercloud.net
Hoping that the new network will be to your liking, we remain at your disposal for any questions you may have.
Best regards,

It seems they matured and it is now possible to upload data as other apps do already.
I'll leave it running for a bit and if it looks OK I'll post the plug-in for people to test to the development forum (very small download for the plug-in, WeatherCat 2 required).
I did not see this problem when I upgraded. I just unpacked the archive and pointed my "start at login" to the new version and rebooted.
NoWait
I've had no problems other than the Version 2.xx DST issues highlighted in another thread.
I'm now running the newly released WeatherCat Build 39. One item to note is that the Weathercloud tool does not retain your Weathercloud Key with this build. You have to re-enter your key and click start to resume uploads. This only applies the first time you start the new build. Subsequent reboots of the 'Cat function normally with Weathercloud uploads resuming automatically.
Was this on a clean install of the OS? If so, check your other passwords - the majority are stored in your login keychain, so if it's brand new, they won't be there.

Please raise it as a bug in the bugs forum along with any screenshots you have [tup]
Maybe they are going to calculate it sometime in the future?It is possible to show the THSW index on the VP2 Console (but only with added solar sensor on the ISS): Press 2nd and HEAT you get the Heat Index, press another time 2nd and HEAT then it shows the THSW Index. Isn't THW and THSW the same? So those of us who own a solar sensor THSW is calculated - we only need to read out this data within WeatherCat.

Also, from previous discussions, the calculated THSW on the console is not included in the data sent out to the computer, so WeatherCat never receives anything to display.
THW is calculated by using temperature, humidity and wind, which is apparently what they have in mind at Weathercloud. Davis Vantage Pro2 Plus units calculate the THSW using temperature, humidity, sun and wind, which is slightly different than THW as it takes into account the effect of sunshine on the index.

The Davis VP2 console calculates it if you have the solar sensor (which I do) but does not include it in the packet feed to weather software.
Actually it does in the so called LOOP2 packet (actually a REV B, type 2 packet). Support for that packet type is very limited though as Davis has yet to update their serial documentation with the specs for this packet.
Weathercloud has changed the name of the password field from Password to KeyOne of my 'Pet Peeves'. If I had a nickel for every different label for "password"... or 'username', 'ID', etc. [banghead]
Still nothing from WeatherCloud, they must really be busy with the improvements.
Counted to 16 in hexadecimal.
It's not the end of the world, as we know itI guess I can take comfort in that. What this is is called poor UX design, how will the User eXperience your site? It's not the same as UI, the site is pleasing enough and neat. Passwords are a part of our lives, failing to make it as convenient as possible is simply a failure to know what happens to your users when they visit. Making things "secure" is not an excuse for poor planning and design criteria. Fortunately, I will rarely, if ever, again, be needing to 'log in'.
if you use Safari, you have to make a manual change to the date range when you want to display a plot.Yes, that does work. But it should be a matter for their server to figure out, not something the user must modify. Not sure how they can blame Safari, it's just one browser that uses the WebKit engine. That's just a very important function of designing the user interface! [removed link to the now castly photobucket.com site] No matter what he back end language, user inputs should be able to consider any 'normal' format. And it's even more unjustifiable when you provide a 'placeholder' showing a format hat doesn't work!
<input id="plot-select-date-start" type="date"
min='2016-02-01' max='2016-07-02' value="2016-07-02"
style="width:98%;"></input>
What appears in the field when you first open the page is the "value" attribute. It is obviously created, probably on the server (likely php) as the current date. Granted, there is a tremendous amount of javascript and it could be done that way. The point is, the 'format' is displayed with "-" as the 'correct/appropriate/approved' separator for the year, month and day of the month. This html is what is sent to every browser (although I can't currently see the source in an iPhone). There is even this in the <head> area:<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
That implies, to me, that WeatherCloud does not need/use a separate "mobile site" (because it doesn't need to, all css is likely built for small screens first, so it can easily scale to any size window/hardware).You are rightIf you don't mind, I'm printing that quotation on a large banner! [cheer] I'll hang it in front of where she uses her computer. Don't worry, I won't give her your location or even your screen name! [lol]
