Topic: Unable to Register Cam on WU

[92merc]

I think each weather station can only have one camera.   If you are looking to make the two weather stations have the same camera, I believe someone else did that.

They went to the Bloomsky station, right clicked on the image and "copy image location".  Then went into the other station, edited it to be a URL camera.  Then pasted in the location of the other picture.

IIRC, the image for your Bloomsky will be the same filename stored on WUnderground's site.  Even though WU doesn't usually like URL pictures, since it's pointing to their own site, it works.

Because Bloomsky also sends the station's weather to WU I added a new PWS for my Bloomsky.  That is now working as IONTARIO1189 http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=IONTARIO1189
 
My Bloomsky camera is also being uploaded to WU as PaulMyCAM3 http://www.wunderground.com/webcams/PaulMy/3/show.html and I have it linked to this IONTARIO1189. 
 
The Bloomsky WU Register Device setup shows it as "success: in both PWS and Webcam Upload but the webcam does not yet show on this new WU PWS page.
 
Every day a step further,

Merc and Paul,

Thanks for the information.  I have set up a BloomSky station on Wunderground (IONTARIO1192) and my BloomSky is reporting to it with both data and pictures.  Have to keep an eye on it over the next few days to see if it is worthwhile keeping that site going.  For some reason, Wunderground put the address of the station as Portland, ON rather than Westport, ON.  From my place to Portland, is about 14km as the crow flies, and on a different lake.  Have to see how in the hey I fix that.

Cheers!

Chris

Well, I got my Bloomsky cam finally working on WU.  I decided to make a whole new login to WU with my Yahoo account.  Then I made a station and a camera.  This time the camera page went without issue.

Went to the Bloomsky/wun page and filled that out.  It kept failing on the camera part, so I left that out.  It took just a few minutes and data was received to my new station ID.  About a half hour later, I tried to enter the camera information again on the Bloomsky/wun page and it took it.  Took another 15 minutes, and I now have pictures on my station page.

For my original site, I could make a new station ID under my new Yahoo login to get it working I suppose.  But I've been submitting data to WU under my original Davis station since 2004.  I'd hate to loose that history.  But if they don't get it fixed, I may do just that.
