Weather Underground Upload script Topic is solved

[Stimpy68]

@waaren I found the error myself
I also uploaded PM2.5 and PM10 values, and that doesn't seem to work anymore, removed those (WU doens't do anything with it) and now it works again!

[Toulon7559]

Upload of data for PM2.5 and PM10 should be possible, and much more ......

Google provides many references to the old location of the protocol description, but the protocol description for upload is now at this location.
Take care that the units for the uploadstring are correct, because some values are imperial measure, and not metric as coming from many PWSes.
Therefore often a rescaling is required before insertion in the uploadstring.

Note:
Have comparable experience as Stimpy68 that the upload apparently 'strikes' if PM-values included in the uploadstring.

Status November 1st, 2020:
Running a script incl. upload of values for AqPM2.5 and AqPM10 is now without error responses.
Although those values nowhere at the WU-site appear in a display .......
Somebody a hint?

[Toulon7559]

Earlier in this thread already a script for upload of data to PWSWeather.

Detecting that the display at PWSWeather includes history for Solar radiation and for UV, requested and got a description from PWSW how the upload-string should look, incl. a list and format of all possible elements.
Which information I thankfully convey to this Forum.
You can expand the upload to PWSW as you like 'within the range of the list' ........
For Solar Radiation and UV (and other aspects) you could borrow the relevant scriptlines from your WU-Uploadscript.

Code: Select all

SAMPLE STRING TO UPDATE DATA ON PWSWEATHER.com

https://pwsupdate.pwsweather.com/api/v1/submitwx?ID=STATIONID&PASSWORD=password&dateutc=2000-12-01+15:20:01&winddir=225&windspeedmph=0.0&windgustmph=0.0&tempf=34.88&rainin=0.06&dailyrainin=0.06&monthrainin=1.02&yearrainin=18.26&baromin=29.49&dewptf=30.16&humidity=83&weather=OVC&solarradiation=183&UV=5.28&softwaretype=Examplever1.1&action=updateraw

All parameters are optional except for the ones marked with *.
If your software or hardware doesn't support a parameter it can be omitted from the string.

ID *		Station ID as registered

PASSWORD *	Station specific API Key from Admin page

dateutc	*	Date and time in the format of year-mo-da+hour:min:sec

winddir		Wind direction in degrees

windspeedmph	Wind speed in miles per hour

windgustmph	Wind gust in miles per hour

tempf		Temperature in degrees fahrenheit

rainin		Hourly rain in inches

dailyrainin	Daily rain in inches

monthrainin	Monthly rain in inches

yearrainin	Seasonal rain in inches (usually local meteorological year)

baromin		Barometric pressure in inches

dewptf		Dew point in degrees fahrenheit

humidity	Humidity in percent

weather		Current weather or sky conditions using standard METAR abbreviations and intensity (e.g. -RA, +SN, SKC, etc.)

solarradiation	Solar radiation in W/m^2

UV		UV, expressed as UVI

softwaretype *	Software type


The string always concludes with action=updateraw to indicate the end of the readings


For more information contact AerisWeather Support: https://www.aerisweather.com/support/

If your PWS has lighmeasurement with an output as Lux-value, in a lua-script don't forget a local conversion-function from lux towards W/m^2 like

Code: Select all

local function luxtoWattsm2(mm)
   if mm == nil then return 0 end
   return mm * 0.0079
end

Obviously, for other scripttypes, an equivalent function to be included.

Because of the equivalence, just wondering:
is the list for upload to WOW_UK still the one & only valid list, or has any extended version appeared, in line with the extensions discussed above?

[remember]

Good afternoon, The script stopped sending rain data, from one moment to the next, it always hit the domoticz, from what I saw accuses on the devices, but then it doesn't even appear on the domoticz panel or in the WU, can anyone help?

Stepwise check (or in reverse order):
1) Which type of PWS and which interface in use to feed Domoticz?
2) Is the PWS reporting rain at it's own display?
3) In Domoticz, is the rain-device visible in Setup/Devices, and under Setup/Options/Events?
4) Script in Domoticz without errors?
5) What rain-display at WU? Any error report at side of WU?

It is a netatmo, the data is appearing on the device panel, but then it does not appear on the WU, today I have 1.3mm, now it appears on the 0.1mm panel of a downpour, but the rest does not appear.

Puzzled related to the pictures for the Device List, because only 3 columns (out of 8) with 2* Rain and 2* Temp&Humid.
What IDX and which Name is valid for each of them (in the columns left of these 3)?
.
Another approach:
what is shown for these devices under Setup/Options/Events?

Good night, it's back to the same ... I have two sensors inside the house, one in the office and one in the bedroom, then the outside is all 3 temperatures and humidity, the other rain and temperature sensor are ones that are no longer used, but as much as I try I can't remove them from the panel. The script I'm using is this, but the rain is still not transmitting ...

File in github looks very familiar ...

In your application-version, what is inserted as name in scriptline 07 for Rainmeter?
Is that rainmeter showing good values in Domoticz?

Good Morning, On the devices it takes the rain, but on the meteorological panel it does not. Line 7 appears Rain Gauge

hello,
so i tried to use this script with my BME280 and a rainmeter but it does not work

how do i have to set in bme280s values correct and how about dew point? Do i have to send dew point or is WU calculating it anyway?

script i tried:

ok.. so BMP280 has 5 outputs, not 4
and i made a spelling mistake.
Working now.

and second i also found out that 3. Value is not DewPoint as expected. Its "feels like" or so.. so i took folloing for dewpoint

Code: Select all

   WU_URL = WU_URL .. "&dewptf=" .. string.format("%3.1f", CelciusToFarenheit(otherdevices_dewpoint[xxx..pa:Outside_hum-Temp]))
