To change the logging contents does require modifying code in both nws-alerts.php and nws-alerts-log.php to support having the details included, and it wouldn't likely be backward compatible to existing log files.
I've not heard about such a request before, and as Curly's code is quite complicated, I'd need to hear from others about the mod before embarking on doing the mod.

I'm sorry to inform you that the Weather Window is not a replacement for your WS5000 console.  It can only display data that has already been published to AWN.

From page 4 of the manual:
"NOTE: If you already have an Ambient Weather station, do not discard the console that it came with. All Ambient hardware requires either a console or a Weather Hub to send sensor data to the cloud. Your Weather Window is a display and does not replace the functionality of a console or Weather Hub."

Put another way, the Window is for displaying weather data only that is already in the cloud, not for receiving it from your sensor array or publishing it to AWN.

You do have a few ways you could go: 
  • Ask Ambient for a refund and get a the same console you already had.
  • eBay has a few used ones at times
  • Or try the Ambient Weather Network Weather Hub for $78.

I think other's might chime in with other ideas for you as well.

Thanks a bunch. Will unzip and see what I can do this evening.
Just got out of dentist office.  The visit there has been easier than fixing this computer crash outfall.  ](*,)

How do we log the entire text of warnings and advisories without truncating them…

https://ballcock.us/nws-alerts-log.php?logfile=20240417  Like this for example. I would like to retain the entire text of the warnings and watches.

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.)

Yes, fixed now.. the Thursday and Wednesday Night icons now show PoP now that the fradmcn.ttf file is in the right place.

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

So, I'm seeing some partial icons (from DualImage), but the bulk are still missing.

Download https://saratoga-weather.org/saratoga-icons2.zip and unzip (preserving the directory structure) into your /weather directory, then upload to your site.  It should then work correctly.

When you've finished, there should be the following directories on your site:

weather/forecast
weather/forecast/images
weather/forecast/icon-templates

DualImage is not quite working correctly.. it seems that weather/forecast/icon-templates/fradmcn.ttf is missing on your site.

You need to upload that file .. the fradmcn.ttf file is used to 'print' the PoP on the DualImage graphics.
