Topic: WeatherLink.com intervals uploading to WU, CWOP, Globe

Shouldn't that 15 minute update include highs and lows?

I found out some more from CaptainGadget, with WLIP it does update automatically every 1 minute to WL.com. Davis information: http://www.davisnet.com/support/weather/faq/answer/index.asp?ProdFam=15&faqCat=1&faqid=49
I've watched his uploads and it does update every minute. Here is the station: http://www.weatherlink.com/user/DDWeather

And the default is 15 minute uploads to WU: http://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=KNESTAPL2#history

I can see the Davis site reports a different high currently 72 vs 71.2 but think this was only because of the 12AM reset time. Normally highs and lows would be same I would think.

The 15-minute upload limit to WU is why I added a Meteohub to the WL.  The Meteohub is set to upload to WU every ten seconds.  Note that at times I may have to shut down the Meteohub for maintenance or setting changes and the WL serves as a back up uploader to WU because it is always running in the background at its 15-min interval.

I have a quick question for you regarding the quoted post above:  Are you pushing data to WU through weatherlink.com and your Meteohub concurrently/simultaneously?  Or do you just enable the weatherlink.com data push to WU when your Meteohub is down for maintenance?

Thanks in advance!

My Globe upload seems to only happen one time and after that I have to restart WeatherLink for it to upload again, is this working for you?

I'm using Davis WLIP and I've started get messages this week from WU that my station is offline, the back online, then offline, etc., etc., etc.

There's nothing wrong with my station so I assume this has to do with data transfer between WL and WU.  I see that the default upload interval from WL to WU is set to the default of 15 mins. and I can't change it to 5 min. or 1 min. unless I give them my credit card number.

Think many users are seeing those messages to some degree or other. It's presumably continuing issues at WU and nothing to do with weatherlink.com.

You mean unless you subscribe to the Pro plan? But I can't recall that being any different in the past - the free plan has always used 15min updates AFAICR. What's happened is that Davis have introduced the option of more frequent updates but these are only available to Pro users. Not sure that it's an unreasonable approach, ie you get basic features for free but if you want more than the basic features then you have to pay a little (eg the price of one coffee per month).

Thanks johnd.  I guess I'll wait for WU to fix their problems and hopefully these offline messages will go away soon.
