Template, Meteobridge & database troubles

[MJW]

Good afternoon,

Weather data source - Ecowitt GW-1000
Meteotemplate data source - Meteobridge 5.2
PHP version on the server - 4.7

I noticed that my air quality block that used to receive PP1 data from my Meteobridge stopped reporting. After digging into my SQL server, I see the last time that the database received actual PP1 data was back in May. Odd, I thought it was working fine. At the same time, I see that the extra sensors table only includes Extra Temp & Humidity sensors 1-4, even though I have 5, and all 5 are reporting per my apilog file (and show up in my custom Extra Temp sensor block). Additionally, I have the Ecowitt lightning detector and I would like to get that work too. The live data tab on my Meteobridge shows all 5 extra temp sensors, the air quality sensor, and the lightning sensor.

Questions - anyone know why the Meteobridge would not be passing PP1 to the api.php file? It had been working fine until recently, now it doesn't.

I see elsewhere that Ecowitt has blocks for their devices, I downloaded those, along with the latest version of the Ecowitt plugin, and configured my GW-1000 via the WS View app on my Android phone per the instructions in the plugin. The csv file with weather data that should be created in the plugin folder is not being created, so that data source isn't working either.

Is there a log file other than what is in the cache file, or a way to enable more detailed log files? Maybe if I could see what the Meteobridge was trying to send to the api.php I could see if there is a problem there.

thx

Mike

the first lines of cache apiLog.txt are all the parameters passed to api.php script ( excluded only your update password )
In your case:

Authorized access.
Current date/time: 2021-07-17 18:29:20
api called by http
update U: 1626560958
update SW: meteobridge
update T: 28.7
update TMX: 28.8
update TMN: 28.7
update H: 76
update P: 1014.4
update W: 0.2
update G: 1.8
update B: 230
update R: 0.0
update RR: 0.0
update S: 17.3
update UV: 0.0
update TIN: 28.6
update HIN: 65
update T1: 27.9
update H1: 75
update T2: 28.6
update H2: 67
update T3: 27.3
update H3: 57
update T4: 26.6
update H4: 74
update T5: 29.5
update H5: 72

The parameters are those on the lines starting with update ( from U to H5 )

The 'standard meteotemplate' saves on the alldataExtra a maximum of 4 sensors.
If you need to save more sensors ( max 8 ) you can install my mod

My api.php ( in the above mod ) has a logging option ( $logGetPost on line 33 ) that log the same parameters shown above ( each api.php call the parameters are appended to the file cache/apiReqLog.txt )

My ecowitt plugin saves a log in cache/ecowittLog.txt

P.S.
I checked your cache/ecowittLog.txt ( it does not contain any sensor ):

raname sensor

it should be similar to this:

Yes, my GW1000 refuses to use the information in the customized weather service. The Ecowitt log was created when I manually loaded the index.php in a web browser.

[davidefa]

Try setting ( in WsView ):
Server IP/hostname: www.weather.westfamilynj.net
( don't know if this helps with redirections )

Thanks, I should know in a minute if it made a difference. I deleted the ecowitt log from cache so if a new one appears I will know it at least tried.

Ok, I added my ObserverIP to Meteobridge along side the GW-100 and figured out my Meteobridge is sending air quality as PP0 instead of PP1. I updated the mapping to mirror PP0 to PP1 and Meteotemplate is working again.

With the help of Davidefa, I now am logging everything that the api receives to the SQL database.

The last bit is my GW1000 refuses to use the customized server info to push all of its data straight to Meteotemplate.

Still working on that...

You may also check you don't have any leading/trailing blanks/spaces in Server IP and Path definitions
