My Rapid Fire no longer works
« on: October 18, 2017, 01:53:12 PM »
I have a Davis Vantage Vue, I use Cumulus version 1.9.4 as my software.
Ever since Weather Underground changed their format my Rapid Fire no longer reports on my WU website. I never had a problem until they changed the format.

Please help!!!!!

Thank you.

Have you checked settings in Cumulus. If serious about help we need some feedback, not seeing issues with WU server change over.
 
Rapid fire is working with your neighbors.

Yes, I checked Cumulus and it shows RapidFire is enabled. What other information would you like me to provide? I will be happy to do so.

Thanks.

You will no longer be able to pull up the “rapid fire” page associated with your website as they got rid of that with their updates, but your station will still (or should) update in “real-time” form still. Pay close attention to the data on your WU page to see if it’s updating every 5 seconds or so like it should be. If not, try closing your Cumulus software down and then restarting it. Sometimes a fresh reboot also clears up any issues.

It looks as though your data is updating on your WU page once every 15 minutes. Definitely be sure Rapid Fire is checked off in your Cumulus settings, do a reboot of the software and even your computer if possible, and see if that helps.

That's a start some feedback always helps. Even a screenshot of settings. My original response which I deleted got no response. 
It has something to do with Cumulus settings, don't think it's password or you wouldn't get any updates try the reboot as MonumentHillWeather suggested.

It appears that the rapidfire page is not available anymore, but I do see my wind information change as my station reports it. Just to the right of the "Current Conditions" heading (just above the temperature) I still see the station update staus in live time. for me that is about every 18 seconds.

I rebooted my Meteobridge PRO and this didn't help. I then enabled "rapid fire" on Meteohub, same no data just "NA".

I checked our local Marina, which I set up under my own account with the blessing of the Harbormaster. It shows data, even though it is fed by Weatherlink that does not support rapid fire.

I enabled WU uploads on my own Weatherlink account, which is normally disabled. It must have kick-started something, because it started working again on MB Pro after all this. I have since disabled Weatherlink uploads to WU. WU Rapid Fire for KMIROGER7. Go figure :-k
