WU Indoor Temp

Post by ocala »

Selected this option a couple days ago but the indoor temp does not show up on my station page.
Does anyone know if WU supports this option? Has anyone tried it and got it to work?
Thanks.

Hi,
I also have Include Indoor selected in WU settings (for years) but can't recall if it ever showed up on my IONTARIO226 station page. The current https://api.wunderground.com/weathersta ... format=XML does not include it.

This thread https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.p ... mp#p102784 seems to indicate it had been working.

Enjoy,
Paul


p.s. my own question: is there a way to check what Cumulus actually sent to WU (I've checked the ftplog but can't see anything in it)?

Hey Paul
Doing A search I did find that thread but since it was 2 years old I thought maybe there was some updated info.
Thanks.

Hi Paul-

Regarding

Some few years I was uploading to Weather Underground from my hosted web-server because the interface to my PWS didn't handle it directly. The WU interface is an HTTP GET, so I wouldn't necessarily expect it to be represented in an FTP log. I've been curious myself whether there is some way to log what's being sent.

I have been thinking about those periods when connectivity to the outdoor sensor drops. I believe CMX may continue to transmit the last (outdoor) reading it got. I think I'd prefer that bogus/old data not be sent to WU. I think I'd rather know that the station hasn't reported in (recently) and that the data is aging.

At any rate, in the link below I find this:

Code: Select all

indoortempf - [F indoor temperature F]
indoorhumidity - [% indoor humidity 0-100]
Which suggests suggests indoor data is supported - though in Fahrenheit only it seems.

Turning on debug logging will show the update string sent to WU (so long as you don’t have rapid fire on). It appears in debug.log on C1 and the diags logs in MX.

For grins, I tried to construct a URL using indoortempf. Actually, I forgot dateutc which I believe is required, and got the reply below, a syntax summary, which doesn't include indoortempf.

Code: Select all

RapidFire Server

usage
action [action = updateraw]
ID [ID as registered by wunderground.com]
PASSWORD [PASSWORD registered with this ID]
dateutc - [YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS (mysql format)]
winddir - [0-360]
windspeedmph - [mph]
windgustmph - [windgustmph ]
humidity - [%]
tempf - [temperature F]
rainin - [rain in]
dailyrainin - [daily rain in accumulated]
baromin - [barom in]
dewptf- [dewpoint F]
weather - [text] -- metar style (+RA) 
clouds - [text] -- SKC, FEW, SCT, BKN, OVC
softwaretype - [text] ie: vws or weatherdisplay
When I added the dateutc I got back "success", but I can't see it (admittedly just 1 data point). My WU page updates every minute, but in the Weather History Table records are (generally) shown at 5 minute intervals ... so some data isn't shown. Could well be an in between record.

Also, the Download link includes a header, and some fields which are not used. The fields in the header are:
  • * Time
    * TemperatureF
    * DewpointF
    * PressureIn
    * WindDirection
    * WindDirectionDegrees
    * WindSpeedMPH
    * WindSpeedGustMPH
    * Humidity
    * HourlyPrecipIn
    * Conditions
    * Clouds
    * dailyrainin
    * SoftwareType
    * DateUTC
Don't see any indoor stuff in there...

So to Ocala's question, indoor temp and Humidity is being sent by Cumulus BUT not shown by WU https://api.wunderground.com/weathersta ... format=XML
