Topic: Ambient WS2090 & Weather Underground Troubleshooting

[flash43]

- Hey, everyone! I'm new to the wxforum. So I registered my weather station on Wunderground, downloaded the latest edition of Cumulus...and I still can't get data to reflect to Cumulus/activate my station on Wunderground. Station ID/password have been input correctly into Cumulus and my clocks are synced...plus I've followed each step in online manuals I've been able to find...so if anyone out there can help, that would sure be appreciated! I know most probably has a 2080, but if anyone has used a 2090 and can help, that's be wonderful. My station ID (in case this helps) is: KTNNASH46.

Welcome to the forum! 

Ensure your WU ID entered into cumulus is all caps  KTNNASH46.  WU is very picky about that.

Remember that it's a holiday weekend, and if something at WU need to be done manually, it will probably be Tuesday.

Good Luck!

Maybe something in here will help to narrow it down. Do you have the "Fine Offset" choice selected as station type? Since you say " I still can't get data to reflect to Cumulus " I'm assuming your console data isn't getting into Cumulus, not alone getting through and out to Wunderground.
Hope you get it.

Entering KTNNASH46 in WU gives

There has been an error!

City Not Found

We're sorry, but the page you have requested was not found.

The search for "KTNNASH46" did not return results.

I would have thought if KTNNASH46 was correctly set up/registered that it would show but without any data.

Are you able to get any data to show in the Cumulus console?

Yes, I set the station type to "Fine Offset", so I'm sure the problem falls into the "console data" category. I'll holla on this thread once I get it up

Paul, I haven't been able to yet. Just zeroes across the board. I'll give it another 'go' this week. FTR, the Cumulus I downloaded is the most recent version.

Is all the sensor data displayed on the console but it doesn't go out from there to the PC and Cumulus? If this is correct can you unplug the USB cable from the PC, wait a minute and, plug it back in with the PC recognizing it (Device Manager sees it)? If yes, you may have a Cumulus setting issue. If no, then you need to get the PC to "see" the connection first before Cumulus will.

Okay so my cumulus is responding as well as the Weather Station itself. Now it's just a waiting game to see if Weather Underground can pick it up. 

[DanS]

Ok, since Cumulus sees the data, can you confirm the data is going out on regular intervals (time settings in Cumulus) by watching modem/router lights flash at the same interval? An example would be Cumulus set to update every 5 minutes then you should see some activity on your network modem/router every 5 minutes. Sounds like you're close.

Where are You?   If Nashville Tn   The ID should be KTNNASHV46

KTNNASHV46   is showing    no data        If that is you correct your ID in Cumulus and it will probably work.

and also the "About this weather station" section on the WU page shows "Lat: N 36 ° 6 ' 44 '' ( 36.112 ° )
Lon: W 86 ° 54 ' 57 '' ( -86.916 ° )
Elevation (ft): 764
Hardware: Ambient Weather WS-2090"  which indicates your station type as well. Can't verify the coordinates.

It's called " attention deficit disorder"   or in my case Old Heimer's diesease

Nothing showing up yet, so perhaps still a Cumulus setting or WU set up issue?  Have you double checked the Station ID and Password in Cumulus Configuration Internet Weather Underground is identical as your settings in the Weather Underground site?

Well, I figured out I wasn't reflecting the daylight saving time change into my WS2090, so I fixed the time misalignment. Also, my coordinates in Cumulus were off (used 'E' instead of 'W')   I know...lame on my part.  Now, with Cumulus up and running well, my actual station out in the field may need a battery change. Cumulus is saying it's not picking up the censor. Almost there indeed!
