Weatherlink ip and distant upload * (solved)
« on: October 30, 2017, 04:43:21 PM »
There is a davis vantage pro2 in Taygetos Mountain in Peloponnese, Greece, in 1610m altitude.
The datalogger is ip. I know the way to local upload data to my created page.
But i want to know if there is a way to distant upload data, from a place far away from the station.
Is it possible to use tcp/ip connection and web download, to create my html page? And how can i do it?
Or another way?
Because it is not easy to have a pc running in the mountains for 24hr a day.

you can let the wl/ip logger upload its data to Weatherlink.com, that is a free service from Davis.
Both the Saratoga and the Leuven Template can retrieve the Weatherlink.com data to populatie the template pages,

I use this myself,

I'm a Cumulus User,

I'd think it would be pretty easy I had an IP logger.

At the remote end forward port 22222 to a different one externally, ie 54321,
then at the local end have Cumulus connecting to a station at <RemoteIP:54321>.

Etc

I have a vague recollection this has been discussed in the Cumulus forum.

Cheers

Phil.

You could also look into using Meteobridge.  I use one for a mountain site 600 kms away from me.  Or a Raspberry Pi running Weewx.
Need low cost IP monitoring?  http://wirelesstag.net/wta.aspx?link=NisJxz6FhUa4V67/cwCRWA or PM me for 50% off Wirelesstags!!

Distance is not an issue, get it into the www and the world is yours. Probably multiple ways to do this depending on exactly what you require, nothing is impossible (as such).

You could use WeatherLink from anywhere in the world and download weatherlink.com data but of course the direct connection real-time page variables wouldn't exist. You could also run WeatherLink from any computer anywhere in the world via a remote (DNS) connection but a always on/running connection may be a little costly? Yes something like meteobridge will do just about anything you want it to do also.

The datalogger is ip.

Do you own or manage that VP2?  Do you own or manage the associated WeatherLink.com account?

Do you have control of the internet interface (router or ...) that the WeatherLinkIP is connected to?

The weatherlink.com account is free if it is a genuine Davis IP-logger.
The data starts uploading immediately after the ip-logger is connected to the lan/internet.
The WL.com "logger" capacity is even greater then that of the ip-logger.

You can make an account at weatherlink.com and all current data and all "logger' data can be retrieved using the api-calls.
The current-high-low data is in xml format and can be used on your website immediately.

Wim, you helped me set up my page.  I just have it on my site and I do not have to do a thing to get it working.   All I have to do is to besure that the modem is sending the data.

here is  a Weatherlink IP  site that Wim did with the Leuven 2.8 page:   http://www.desmoinesweather.org

We finally made it. We used a vpn p2p connection from the city with the mountain. In the city we placed a small pc. Weatherlink downloads data from ip logger (data go to weather underground and weatherlink downloads them from there) and uploads them again to an htm page. We had a little help from Demokritos university to manage that.
This is the page

Thanks everyone for the help.
