Hello. Anyone hooking up Weatherflow or Tempest. Am having problems with wind. I have a weatherflow and tempest. Seems to be using stats from both stations. Help

jmello65 · « **Reply #151 on:** July 29, 2021, 05:12:05 PM »

Anyone hook up an ecowitt to weatherwizz. Is the info / whats needed to hook up weatherwizz all entered on the ecowitt console screen.

How about vantage pro or weatherlink

Asking because i dont think wind is working correctly. Help. Detailed info. Thanks

Hi jmello65,

I don't own an ecowitt station so when I was making my instruction on how to set it up I took all my information given to me from the good people here who helped me out.

I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. But as I understand it, you should have an ecowitt mobile app that you use to enter the settings.

Do you have the ecowitt mobile app?

Hi @jmello65
please open a new thread giving it a subject which summarizes your issue in the proper board

weatherflow tempest is NOT a FineOffset (clone) weather station - you have to post in the "other weather station hardware" board

Hi,

can you try again, I found a bug where the wind chill should have switched to heat index but didn't

Quote from: WI1SKY on July 28, 2021, 12:48:43 PM

I am not seeing any data in Apparent Temperature when set to "Feels Like". If I change to Wind Chill/Heat Index, I get a wind chill temperature but that really isn't of value in the summer.

Hi SnowSentry.

I finally had a thunderstorm overnight since I started using weatherwizz and according to my ambient console, i had 53 lightning strikes with the last one a distance of 9 miles.

However on sew0001 this is what it shows:

[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

It does show the time and date of the last one, but no counts or distances. Just fyi.

olicat · « **Reply #156 on:** August 01, 2021, 11:20:59 AM »

Hi!

This is because the corresponding keys are different:

Ecowitt Ambient
lightning_num lightning_day
lightning lightning_distance

Should be easily fixed on server side.

All fixed, Lucky you getting a thunder storm. Not had a good thunder storm in a long time.

That Oliver for the quick info

Hi!

May I express another wish?
It would be very helpful if we could change the names of the sensors - for example instead of H1 "Kitchen" or instead of Soil Moisture 3 "Lawn".
This would increase the clarity - especially with a large number of sensors.
In the dashboard there could be another point "Name your Sensors", in which you can make a simple assignment:
H1: sensor name
T1: sensor name
SM1: sensor name

I realize that there will be problems with the length of the names. But you could cut off names that are too long so that the layout is not destroyed.

That would be helpful - probably for other users as well.

Thanks for that. I will add this to my growing wish list

This way you could also make all field names changeable and would have fulfilled the wish for different language versions:

Outdoor Temp		Außentemperatur
HUMIDITY		Luftfeuchte
AIR PRESSURE		Luftdruck

Looks like the Germans are the most humble in terms of the size of the animals used in this metaphor.

The French also use a stone but keep the object they are hitting open.

Perhaps I missed it in this thread, but I noticed on my dashboard (with ambient API key) that the Temp min/max aren't updated (just dashes), and that some of the gauges are blank at times -- I'm assuming this is because the value hasn't changed or something. Example: My wind-chill is almost always dashes and the UV sometimes is.

SnowSentry · « **Reply #166 on:** August 02, 2021, 05:02:47 PM »

Hi kheller2,

The Ambient API does not support Temp Min/Max nor does it support Wind-Chill/Heat index. It does appear to support the UK "Feels Like" so perhaps switch your settings for Apparent temperature to "Feels Like". As for UV I can see the the value updating on your dashboard not sure what you are seeing.

Hope this helps

Same here with aw. Switch to the GW1100 and same thing.

Hi!

As I see my wish

was fullfilled.
You will find this new feature on your account-page under "Choose your options" and "Sensor names".

But - as far as I can see - only for paying members (patreons) for 3,50EUR plus tax per month.
Is this an annual contract or can one book this service - as required - monthly ?

Regards, Oliver

SnowSentry · « **Reply #169 on:** August 07, 2021, 09:09:11 AM »

Hi Olicat,

There is no contract using Patreon. You can cancel any time. All features will be enabled while you are a member and disabled when/if you cancel membership.

Hi All,

I have just released the first WeatherWizz website integration. This allow you to embed your live weather data into your own site.

Login to your account and get your unique script to put into your HTML page and WeatherWizz will render an animated real time banner at the bottom of your page for your visitors to see your live data.

Sample

Nice ! - Could there be also Solar Radiation and UV visible ? That's what people want to know when they go somewhere

In addition, otherwise the nice banner looks half-empty

that's too difficult - there could be two just opposite to each other ...
