Weathetlink live

[Gerrit]

Hello,

I am working with the plugin WLIP to upload data sent via weatherlink live to the weatherlink site to meteotemplate.
Now it is not quite clear to me if this was possible at the moment as there were problems with the api V2 in the past, are these already solved? I can't find anything about this in other posts in the forum

I am curious about this too. Does this api update work correctly? All extra sensors work? I can share my weatherlink api.

[davidefa]

I think the plugin can be converted to api v2.
Need the 'API Key' and 'API Secret' to test it

If my api is needed I like to hear it

i'm curious, any success on this

Yes, I can get the values of your sensors ( very long list of sensors and various control values ) divided in 10 groups.
I think the setup of of the plugin could be similar to the extra sensor setup.
Each line define a sensor and contains the davis naming, the meteotemplate naming, the unit of measure/conversion, and a flag to enable/disable sensor
ex:

Code: Select all

Sensor 2 ( 480481 ) leaf/soil
moist_soil2            SM1          --     enabled
...
Sensor 4 ( 480479 ) vantage pro2 24h fan asp.
hum                     H           --     enabled
wind_speed last         W          mi/h    enabled
...

In this way there's maximum freedom in selecting/defining sensors ( at the cost of a little bit longer setup phase )

yeah, it's a long list of sensors

i see alot of nulls in your image when there should be totals

[davidefa]

Sensor n. 3 contains only a wind sensor, sensor 4 contains the most part of sensors.

[mchd17]

i understand how the listing works now

[Gerrit]

I'm curious to see if the connection will work out.

Custom software’s most significant benefit is providing features that off-the-shelf software doesn’t. After the custom-designed solution is implemented, the problems it solves can be well worth the costs https://mlsdev.com.

Found 'a little time' to dedicate to this plugin ( still a preliminary release ).

Installation:
- extract the compressed archive in the plugin folder
- copy the updateWLL.php script in the load/crons folder ( and set a cron job, if not already set, to execute the load/cron.php script as described in the wiki )
- execute the plugin setup via the meteotemplate control panel ( it could be quite long if you have many sensors )

Setup:
1) first time you execute the setup insert your api_key, secret_key, click the 'save' button and reload the page
2) you have now access to all your 'stations' and relative 'sensors'
3) now you have to set the 3 parameters:
- MT Field ( field name as used by meteotemplate T,H,P,W,G,B... see meteotemplate wiki, you can use also other field names, all will be imported in the meteotemplatreLive.txt file )
- Conversion ( unit of measure conversion from the davis format to the format used in the meteotemplate database, the alldata table has user definable unit of measure of each fields via the main setup, the alldataExtra table fields all have fixed unit of measure, for example extra temperature sensors are always saved in °C, even if main outdoor temperature is saved in °F )
- Enabled ( enable all sensor you want to pass to meteotemplate )

NOTE
Davis provides an incredible number of fields ( see for example, wind, rain and particulate sensors ) so you need to carefully choose which to import
The file cache/updateDavisWLLLog.txt contains a log of the import process.

Good day,

I'm not quite getting there unfortunately, I just set the basic sensors first to test, I'll do the additional sensors later.
I get an error message with the cron job.
I have set this rule.

and should in the database upload just leave it on API?

Gerrit

[alexvanuxem]

Hi,

Your cron job should be like

https://www.waskolkweer.nl/meteotemplat ... word=xxxxx

mine is :

https://www.sint-katelijne-waver-meteo. ... sword=xxxx

and with the updateWLL.php in the load/crons folder.

succes!

[Gerrit]

Thanks, I will try it tomorrow, today unfortunately no time,

[MeteoElMasnou]

Tell you that I have also managed to pair my Airlink in my MT.

Thank you for your selfless work, you make everything easier.

Health.

[Gerrit]

Dear Davide,

I have been running the plugin for 2 weeks now, without any problems, I am very happy with it.
Everything can now be done via WLL

Good Day,

I've been having problems and had to adjust a few things, now I can't get the connection between Meteeotemplate and the cronjob to work, always get the message,
