The WordPress Weather Station plugin does work with the Davis API V2.  Some folks get confused with the length of the API key.  Read the thread at: https://weather.station.software/community/bugs-issues/weatherlink-api-key-format-problem/

--- Quote from: Ya-Yo Gakk on January 18, 2021, 03:20:26 PM ---I'm not actually talking about adding the weather station using the newer V2 (32 character) API. Adding the weather station using the first 20 characters work just fine. Its how the plugin pulls data from WeatherLink V2 API that's the problem. It won't output weather data at all. To quote Pierre Lannoy (plugin developer)...

@Ya-Yo Gakk,  sorry!  I misunderstood what was happening to you.   I actually run some Python code that I created to extract the data directly from the WeatherlinkLive box using the local API.  My Python code outputs a realtime.txt file that is read by the plugin. That works for me because my Web server is hosted locally on the same network as my WeatherlinkLive box.  That arrangement would not be a good solution for someone running a hosted WordPress site, which is what most folks are doing.
Good luck with your search for another solution.

Is it OK to hijack this thread please?

I have been running the weatherlink software for about 3 weeks now and thought all was going well until I compared the wind directions on the different feeds. This is our weather page: http://glassonsailing.co.uk/wp/home/weather/

The shortcode links at the top are showing the wind from SW but the little icon in the footer says "wind from ENE" as does the Weatherlink bulletin. In the WeatherStaion 3 , Version 3.8.11 | By Pierre Lannoy,  I have the setting "pointing towards the degrees" but changing it to the opposite doesn't seem to make any difference?  Thanks
