Problem connecting with CWOP
« on: November 10, 2024, 04:40:09 PM »
Hello this is Terry. This is my first time using a discussion forum of any kind.
Resonantly I purchased a Davis Vantage Pro2.
A couple of weeks ago I obtain a CWOP I/D number (GW5475) and followed the instructions in the CWOP email. Unfortunately I have not been able to contact to CWOP/Findu.
I called Davis tech support, they checked and said that everything on their side is working.
Is there something I can or should do to get CWPO/Findu to receive my data?

Try this? https://www.davisinstruments.com/blogs/newsletter/6-ways-you-can-contribute-to-the-meteorological-community?srsltid=AfmBOorNntVe13n4rvLBMNJJiFeDzmbOQqn0F4vZHcvYHmUp6D8t-HMw

After that, I have no clue without using a different software. Upload to a third-party site

You can add your data to a third-party site, such as CWOP or Weather Underground. To do this click Share & Uploads, then choose Upload, Add Upload. If you have a free basic WeatherLink.com account, your data will be automatically uploaded to that site every 15 minutes. If you have upgraded to a Pro or Pro+, you can choose more frequent uploads.

Thank you for your response.
I had already obtained a CWOP I/D number, and listed it on the Davis WeatherLink.
As mentioned above, Davis tech. support told my that the data is being sent out to GWOP.  Unfortunately CWOP is not receiving the data.

Sorry maybe a dumb question.
What software are you using to [try] uploading to CWOP?
Also, how did Davis verify that your data was being uploaded?  Looking at http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/wxpage.cgi?call=GW5475 it shows no data.

If your CWOP ID is correct it should be as simple as:
Code: [Select]
WEATHERLINK.COM UPLOAD INSTRUCTIONS
How to upload to CWOP
Go to www.findu.com/citizenweather/cw_form.html
Fill out the registration form and click send
Receive citizen weather account number, this is your CWOP ID
Enter CWOP ID on Weatherlink.com CWOP upload form, passcode not necessary

Like Otis, I have not yet been able to find that GW5475 (G5475) is a valid ID.
It is not yet showing on http://www.wxqa.com/members.txt

Enjoy,
Paul

I believe the software is Davis WeatherLink.
I do not know how the Davis Tech support team checked their side of the equation. All I know is that I as put on hold for about 5 to 10 minutes while they checked. As I mentioned, they said that the data was being sent.

The CWOP I/D number GW5475 is correct.
I did follow the instructions as you had listed.
According to the CWOP email, after I loaded the CWOP I/D number into WeatherLink, I was instructed to go to "http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/near.cgi?call=GW5475" to see if it is working. If it is not working, then I was to get on a discussion group to find out what I need to do.
It looks like I may need to start over again and request a new CWOP I/D number, unless someone has seen this problem before and knows how to fix it.
Thank y'all for your help.

I can't help with Weatherlink, I use WD for my uploads. Sorry.
