My WS5000 system was purchased Dec 2022. It was worked flawlessly until this past week. Last good data showing on my console was Friday evening, 19 April.

When I came down on Saturday morning, 20 April, the control console was black. I went through all the troubleshooting steps and it would not restart or show any glimmer of light anywhere. I checked the station data on my cell phone app, on my tablet app, and on my PC login – all show no data transmitted as of Friday evening.

Per the troubleshooting guide, I was left to order a replacement console. As I checked the website for a replacement, I discovered the Weather Window console is the same price as the replacement console, so I chose to order the Weather Window device. I have received the Weather Window, completed registration and installation, and configured the screen I prefer.

Problem is, none of the data modules show any data from the WS 5000 devices. Each module reports “Device Offline” and “Last Report at (whatever is the current time of day)”.  The transmitter shows a Model # WS80BN.

I have cleaned the WS5000 unit, replaced the batteries, performed a Reset at the pinhole. When I hold in the pinhole reset, for 3 seconds or longer, then release it, there is a steady blue LED at the top of the solar sensor panel. After about 10-15 seconds, it goes off, the flashes on about every 5 seconds. I also covered the solar unit, removed the batteries, and did the pinhole discharge thing, then left the unit overnight. still no data connection when I re-installed the batteries.

How do I get the WS 5000 devices to resume reporting data? Can they be configured ONLY with the old original style Console? Why offer the Weather Window console as a replacement? And, oh, by the way, when I tried to identify a replacement console to order, the one that appears similar to the one I have (that now will not restart) lists it as compatible with multiple WS models, but NOT the WS5000. Is this just an oversight?

 I am a newbie with this gear and am rather lost. Just trying to figure out how to get my station back on line. Please assist as soon as possible.

(And I opened a support ticket with Ambient, but have received no response from them.)

Fixed, I think. The ttf is there now, though I didn't see/notice what wasn't working.

Wx7 was part of my Spaceweather page - https://vermilionweather.com/wx7.php
Wx5 ran my Current and Recent stats page  - https://vermilionweather.com/wx5.php
I ftp th to the server as .html then run a cron job to convert to .php file.

Yup, just did that. That seems to have fixed most of it.

Was missing bkn.jpg in ajax-images, so got that fixed.

Do we know what
Retrieving "b5x-stateful-inline-icon" flag errored: timed out - falling back

In console for browser would be referring to?

You don't have the Meteotriviglo icons installed in /weather/forecast/images directory.  I'd suggest you use the standard .jpg icons instead (plus, the DualImage icons will show if the NWS does a split 12hr forecast -- it won't show if the Meteotriviglio icons are used).

Change Settings.php from

$SITE['fcsticonstype']= '.gif'; // default type='.jpg' -- use '.gif' for animated icons from http://www.meteotreviglio.com/

to

$SITE['fcsticonstype']= '.jpg'; // default type='.jpg' -- use '.gif' for animated icons from http://www.meteotreviglio.com/

to re-enable the NWS standard icons.
