Dear N4KHQ, Blick, and WeatherCat troubleshooters,
Are you guys seeing a similar problem? About every 24 hours I notice the weather station getting behind. If I restart WeatherCat the PWS start showing the current data. If I don't catch the missing uploads in a few hours, the PWS drops off and tells me how many hours since last update. Restarting WeatherCat has always fixed the PWS. When the PWS is working, WeatherCat has been saying 100% acknowledgment and Current Status is Running. If data is not uploading, acknowledgments are less than 100% and Current Status is Starting. I am wondering why restarting WeatherCat always fixes the problem. Thanks
Judging from your previous posts, what you call "PWS" is your station on Weather Underground. I just checked my station on Weather Underground and everything is current. However, Weather Underground has been suffering from the migration on the Amazon cloud environment and they may still be having some issues.
The only thing that sent to Weather Underground via FTP is your webcam image. Weather data is sent via HTTP string. I don't know why restarting appears to get Weather Underground working again. Perhaps it isn't the restart itself, but simply the pause in data upload. Since it takes time to quit and start WeatherCat, that might be enough time for the servers in question to catch up on their processing and display current data.
If the only problem you are experiencing is with Weather Underground, probably the only viable cure is to wait and hope that the problems will be all ironed out on the Weather Underground end of things. Only if this continues for another week or more might it be worth double-checking that all is working with your WeatherCat installation.
Cheers, Edouard
