Guys, I ask for advice.
A few days ago I installed a Davis Vantape Pro 2 that uploads the data to my WeatherLink Pro account via the wifi logger. Now I'd like to build my own website, I've already bought the domain.
Are there templates already made, ready to set?
Can I somehow use my WeatherLink Pro account data?
-
This is updated by WiFiLogger realtime.txt www.komokaweather.com/wifi-console/realtime.txt file for current conditions in template http://www.komokaweather.com/pws-wfl/
Template here https://cumuluswiki.wxforum.net/a/HomeWeatherStationTemplate
You do not need to have or run Cumulus to use it.
Enjoy,
Paul

Very beautifull!!!!!! So the wifi logger provides data directly to the template !!! It's not that you have a step by step guide ...... I read a little bit around but I'm confused
-
For that template you would download the zip, unzip, upload (via Filezilla) the unzipped files to your webserver.
Then from a web browser you would initially run the template which prompts to the Easyweathersetup page for you to fill in all the necessary setup information, which includes where to obtain some of the third party links, API key, etc. that you would need from the listed third-party sites. And that is it. Reasonably well explained in the Readme. While this Cumulus version template is catered to use the Cumulus realtime.txt file you can run it without using Cumulus and use the WiFiLogger realtime.txt as the source instead.
There are other versions of this template such as Wim's www.komokaweather.com/pws-wu that use the Weather Underground data.
If you're still confused, just ask specifically on what, or where to go next.
Enjoy,
Paul
-
I did what you told me. I uploaded the files with filezilla and went to the adjustment page ........ I still have to adjust so many things but I succeed. At one point he asks me where to get the weather data, how can I make the wifi logger send me the txt file in real time ???
-
Glad you got it started. Any web link?
The WiFiLogger settings for FTP realtime.txt export is only in 1 minute.
However the MQTT settings for realtime.txt is in seconds.
And sorry, I don't know anything about MQTT.
Enjoy,
Paul

My wifi logger goes to update the realtime.txt file on my web server, now how do I set the template to let it use that file ??? The realtime file is correct, as structure is the same as yours but then the values I get on the template are incorrect. What path did you set on the template to make it take that file?

As all persons who will try to help you seem not to be "clairvoyant" , you should post a link to the website.
We want to click on that link to see what the problem is.
Also the link to the realtime.txt file would be helpful.

Meanwhile, I put the link of my site under construction:
http://www.meteocamporamoso.it/pwsWD/
This is the linck of the realtime.txt file:
http://www.meteocamporamoso.it/pwsWD/demodata/realtime.txt
The wifi logger updates the realtime.txt file every 10 minutes. I set the template as if drawing the file from Cumuls.
I also made the official WeatherLink Pro APIs, they work but I haven't found a guide on how to use them

You have to change the location of your upload-file in easyweather from
/htdocs/pwsWD/demodata/realtime.txtto./demodata/realtime.txtThen the scripts can find your file.
===
For your FTP program you have to use the "outside" address as that calls in form your home: /htdocs/pwsWD/demodata/realtime.txt
The scripts on your website use an "inside address", they are already in the pwsWD folder and they use
"./" for start from here plus the folder name plus "/" and the filename

I also made the official WeatherLink Pro APIs, they work but I haven't found a guide on how to use them
You have to select in easyweather at "How dow we get our live data?" the "Weatherlink.com ...api"
Then you answer the other questions and at the bottom of the list you fill in the three wl.com fields
Wim

First of all, thank you !!!! It works well even if with some inaccuracy on the minimum and minimum temperature data.
Tomorrow I also test with API.
I have to play a little
-
Nothing to do, it just doesn't work. Even if now the path sel realtime file seems correct it does not read cmuqneu the data, I do not understand. It seems a wrong setting of the realtime file creation by the wifi logger; how did you set the file creation in the wifi logger ??? What spaces left, etc.
I tried the API configuration .... once set, when I try to check the site it tells me 'invalid data'. Now the site is noline with the API configuration, you can check but it doesn't go

Using weatherlink.com you need to set the correct api key , password and DID. I attach a screenshot of a working website.

As you switched to using the wl.com api it is impossible to test the cumulus version..
Decide which version you want to test first. I can take a look if it does not work correctly and check the file.

The realtime.txt file is a "spaces-seperated"files where every space ends a field.
Your copy contains extra spaces which results in extra fields.
The scripts can not find the correct data with your realtime.txt file as they expect the data in the correct place not one or two fields further on.05/15/19 15:04:01 8 70 3.2 13.0 19.3 168 0.00 0.00 1016.1 S 3 km/h C mb mm --- --- 1.60 1.60 --- 18 50 7 --- 10 9:42 2 6:24 33.8 10:45 33.8 10:45 1017.4 0:00 1015.1 6:03 2.16 2.16 33.8 8 --- --- 0.00 --- --- 0.00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 A screenshot shows on the left a correct file from a download, on the right your file.

Here I am!! Meanwhile, thanks for the answers.
Now I made the API configuration. I tried the Key API like WeatherLink with its scripts, it works .... but then put it here, it tells me it's wrong. I don't understand where I'm wrong. If you can take a look you would do me a favor

You can only use your own API-key which you find on the weatherlink.com dashboard. API-keys from the documentation do not work in real life.
ALSO copy and paste the API-keu from your dashboard AND check if there are no spaces before or after the key. I don't understand where I'm wrong. If you can take a look you would do me a favor
I can not take a look as the website will not start.
If I want to look to your settings, you should PM me the password which you later can change after we have it working.

Wim is much more knowledgeable on this than I and working on one version (Wim's) will be the best until you've it it working, but for me the CU-HWS-2019-02 version by Ken (Saratogawx) works directly from the realtime.txt created and uploaded by WiFiLogger.
I have WiFiLogger upload the realtime.txt to my public_html/wifi-console folder so www.komokaweather.com/wifi-console/realtime.txt (http://www.komokaweather.com/wifi-console/realtime.txt)
I have FTP my HWS files in public_html/pws-wfl folder so www.komokaweather.com/pws-wfl (http://www.komokaweather.com/pws-wfl)
I have in HWS settings for "Your path to data file" entered as: ../wifi-console/realtime.txt
Unfortunately I can't check your realtime.txt file as clicking on the previously provided link gives me Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead each time I try those links.

I imagined there was such a problem. In the wifi logger c 'is an' FTP file setting 'entry and asks me:
'FTP file settings:

here is the problem. I don't know how to adjust here

The security warning is about an invalid https certificate, annoying to say the least.
Below the first fields of realtime.txt from komokaweather without the extra spaces.
That realtime.txt is exactly as it should be. No problems, all fields in the right place. WD34 template works fine.
So there must be a glitch in generating the other file.

How can I check if I have the spaces or not ??? What program did you open the realtime.txt file ??
As for API, it's a mystery. I copied / pasted the Key present in my official WeatherLink dashboard, I checked that there are no spaces, etc. I put my password that I use to pass in WeatherLink and then the DID of my VP2 ....... doesn't go.

With your own link you can check your file also https://www.meteocamporamoso.it/pwsWD/demodata/realtime.txt
But it is easier when using the debug-console of the HWS-template: https://www.meteocamporamoso.it/pwsWD/w34_module_test.php
Click the button "list contents" (the "./demodata/realtime.txt" is selected by default as it is in your easyweather settings)
The file is displayed in the bottom part, where you can see the extra spaceUnprocessed first 50 characters of the file :05/15/19 16:13:02 9 69 3.6 2.9 0.0 31Clicking on "List this file as space separeted fields file" shows the vertical list.
All files uploaded or stored to be used later can be inspected this way.

The answer from weatherlink.com with your settings is also stored in a file on your server. It is in "./jsondata/wl.com"
This is the returned html from wl.com<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

Yes you set the language to Italian, set that visitors are not allowed to change that (although support is in ENGLISH only).
But the wl.com lines are not filled.
They are empty with a blue background which signals that they not contain any information.

@ MatteoPV
Sorry for the bad news.
I do not know which provider you have, but it seems your package is far to restrictive for using a dynamic template such as the HWS/weather34 type ones. The "data-blocks" (about 14 of them)are very dynamic and every minute multiple blocks within their own frequency are refreshed. But for that you need a decent webhosting plan. When loading the page, all blocks are started individually so this results in 12 - 15 separete PHP processes in the apache que.
Attached is the screenshot when I try to load your page, more then half the blocks are empty and are only filled within a few minutes, not seconds as is normal. Even with other free or inexpensive hosting packages this template runs smoothly .
In the weather34/Meteobridge discussing on this same forum, the original author warned multiple times to obtain decent hosting.
You can use google to find the reasons of this 509 error message.

My Host is paid, I'm running TOPHOST and I paid my Host.
Now I put https only in http
-
I tried to configure the whole site from scratch, inserting all the APIs but it doesn't work.
At this point either I solve the problem of empty spaces in the realtime.txt file or abandon the project. I'm just sorry I already paid the host

PLEASE contact your provider
Show them this post or send them the screenshot p509.jpg which i attached.
All you work did and all your time results in a working site BUT it is far to slow and there are unneeded errors.
See the attached screenshot.
Your provider allows your site far to few resources.
The 509 errors come form them. Not from your scripts
When a free account old link removed https://pwsdashboard.net/pws10/index.php can run this template very quickly without any problem, it should be their concern that you can not run it with a paid-for account.
It is their problem (their settings) they should solve. Or they should tell you how to use your cPanel to solve it yourself.
===
There are a total of 6.048 websites with the same IP-address 217.64.202.205 as yours. I visited a few and they seem to work normal. Ask the support person of your provider what you can do to get a decent performing website.

After applying the tips you gave me and editing the realtime.txt file recommended by PaulMy, the site works. Now for 6 hours I can't touch anything because I upgraded my host to the higher performing version. However, I believe it will work. I see what happens towards evening

Before, however, I noticed that everything worked but I didn't have the daily graphs of temperature, wind, rain, etc. To have the graphs I have to do ????

For the graphs it is the best and easiest way to upload to WU also.
That way you have access to your own data directly form their database.
And you get a free api-key to use for a 5 day forecast. Then you can choose between the DarkSky-forecast and the WU-forecast based on the quality for your specific region.

I did not mean that. The hourly, daily and weekly forecast is already taken and seems to me to be correct. I meant the graphs of my data ... wind, temperature, rain. If I click on the day or month buttons of the relevant boxes of my live data, I get a box but without a graphic

Most of the blocks display your current data coming from realtime.txt or from wl.com.
Some display forecast or current conditions => they use DarkSky to get relevant data
= = => you can use other forecasters also, such as WU if you have an API-key
The pop-ups will show the graphs a few days after you start uploading to WU.
They need to get their data from somewhere and the easiest choice is WU.
Therefor you have to set the name of your station in the easyweathersettings.
If you decide not to upload (why?) you will have to follow a few steps to define a database-table to store 1 day of weather measurements.
And then run two extra cron-jobs each day.

OK. Now I wait for the site to have migrated to the new server and then start watching

But you should not wait to make an account at WeatherUnderground and start the uploading with your wiFi logger.
All that can already be done.
Then go to your stationspage on the WeatherUnderground site to check if your data arrives every so many minutes.

Your issue is here:

The common name does not match your domain. I would contact whom ever created the cert for you and have them fix it or just regenerate a new cert with the right domain.
Good luck!
