Topic: Apps Script from Wunderground to Windy.com, PWSWeather, OWM, WindGuru, and CWOP

[xd1936]

Hello all!

I've built a solution that periodically grabs data directly from the new Wunderground API and forwards it on to Windy.com, PWSWeather, OpenWeatherMap, WindGuru, and/or NOAA CWOP. It's built on the free Google Apps Script infrastructure and is available on Github:

https://github.com/leoherzog/WundergroundStationForwarder

I've been developing and using it for a few years now and it's pretty battle-tested. Give it a try and let me know your thoughts!

Great idea. Myacurite question:  Hub/Station info is needed. I tried
   const acuriteUsername = 'xxxxxxx@gmail.com';
   const acuritePassword = 'xxxxxxxxx';
   const acuriteHubName = 'Access';
   const acuriteStationName = 'Atlas';
Get following:
   Problem with the received payload: "undefined" is not valid JSON
I've tried using MAC address names in the myacurite app to no avail.

Using the MyAcurite app: This (device names in app) doesn't work either (same error):
  const acuriteHubName = 'Access1667';
  const acuriteStationName = 'AcuRite Atlas';
But now the "schedule" run works showing data.

Data is being transferred to CWOP and MyAcurite even with that error persisting.

@wxarrmgt If you uncomment Lines 230, 277, and 284 (remove the `//`), and look in the logs again (in the ☰▶ Executions tab) for the `refreshFromAcurite_` function runs, what do you see?

[wxarrmgt]

"Running" and then "completed. But the execution log still has the error (Problem with the received payload: "undefined" is not valid JSON).

I note that the lines I uncomented were one line off from the line numbers you indicated.

Why not take out the myacurite and put in the IBM column above your Wunderground account and API key? Log into your wunderground account and go to member settings, then click the API keys tab.

[xd1936]

If you are using the MyAcurite integration with Wunderground, then yes, @DoctorKnow's suggestion could also work... but IBM rotates those keys every few months and does other user-hostile BS. I'm currently using the MyAcurite data source in one of my instances of this code and it's still working...

@wxarrmgt, to be clear, the only line is the red error line? If so, that means that it's not getting a token... Double-check your email address and password for MyAcurite are correct.

[wxarrmgt]

Everything seems to work except for getting the same red line error. I'll keep checking everything.
And thank you very much for this script!!

One other thing. I'm at 7200 ft elevation, and the acurite access box reports station pressure rather than sea level pressure. I have to add about 6.88 inHg to the value to make it sea-level pressure (approximately since that offset is temperature dependent) which I think CWOP wants (looking at other close-by stations). I modified the block at about line 320 in Code.gs:

if (pressure != null) {
  let addedPressure = Number(pressure.last_reading_value) + 6.88;
  conditions.pressure = {
    "inHg": pressure.chart_unit === 'inHg' ? addedPressure.toFixedNumber(3) : addedPressure.hPaToinHg().toFixedNumber(3),
    "hPa": pressure.chart_unit === 'hPa' ? addedPressure.toFixedNumber(0) : addedPressure.inHgTohPa().toFixedNumber(0)
  };
}

Seems to work ok.

@wxarrmgt Wait, so it's working but you're still getting the errors? Are there failures in the Execution log?

[wxarrmgt]

Yup. The only time I see the error is once when I click "Run". Here's [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  my Executions page:

[xd1936]

@wxarrmgt Are you selecting "Schedule" or "doPost" from the dropdown before clicking "▷ Run"?

[wxarrmgt]

DoPost. When I select "schedule" and run, it outputs data without errors.

[xd1936]

@wxarrmgt No need to select the doPost one, that's only used if you need to use a custom data source. "Schedule" is the one that you want. Cool, I'll clarify that in the instructions.

[wxarrmgt]

Thanks again for the assistance!
