Title: WeatherCat not sending reports to Weather Underground
Post by: Woobag on September 22, 2022, 08:32:10 PM

Hope I've put this in the right forum.
I have been running Weather Cat for several years and it has always sent reports to Weather Underground.
It has now stopped working. It shows reports sent and acknowledgments but also shows pwd/I.D. Error.

Just in case the password was corrupted somehow, I changed it but with the same result.

My WU page shows that it is online so I'm confused.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Wunderground (in their infinite wisdom) has chosen to disallow the WU password to authenticate to submit conditions.  It now needs to be the Key shown in the WU, My Devices page for that station.  Copy/paste that key in place of the WU password and your conditions should start reporting again.

Thank you, been scratching my head for days over this. Works great now!

I've inserted the key and now it says it's running. Sending reports and getting acknowledgements back.
However, there is nothing showing on WU.

OK, it's working now! It was just uploading historical data first.

Thanks for the help,

Simon

Glad you are back up and running on WU. One of the dwindling list of helpful things WU still does well is automatically uploading your historical data from the logger when you reconnect.

Thanks.  I've been trying to figure this out for a while now ....  finally uploading again.
