At the moment I am generating a file on my server.
ws1001.json
With a file similar to this:-
It is in deg F etc though.
{ “timestamp”:1467623507,“updated”:“12:11:47”,“outsideTemp”:“83.8”,“outsideHumidity”:“53”,“humiditytrend”:“53”,“dewpoint”:“64.9”, “dewpointtrend”:“64.9”,“windchill”:“83.8”,“heatindex”:85.5,“realfeel”:84.4,“windDir”:“240”,“windSpeed”:“5.8”,“windGust”:“12.3”, “rainrate”:“0.00”,“raintoday”:“0.00”,“rainweek”:“0.00”,“rainmonth”:“0.00”,“rainyear”:“17.63”,“radiation”:“623.82”,“UV”:“7”, “UVtrend”:“7”,“indoorTemp”:“83.7”,“indoorfeel”:84.5,“indoorHumidity”:“58”,“barometer”:“29.94”,“absbarometer”:“29.68”, “indoortrendTemp”:“83.7”,“indoortrendHumidity”:“58”,“trendTemp”:“83.8”,“windtrend”:“5.8”,“windgusttrend”:“12.3”, “trendbarometer”:“29.94”,“solartrend”:“623.82”,“softwaretype”:“ISTANBUL161 V2.2.5”,“month”:“July”,“year”:“2016”, “day”:“Monday”,“realtime”:“1”,“rtfreq”:“5”,“status”:“updateraw”,“timeutc”:“2016-7-4 9:11:46”,“power”:true }
Hi Brian, the Aercus Weathersleuth is different from the other ws-1001 weather stations. So that is why I can’t see that file. The Weathersleuth doesn’t have a screen so you need network access to set it up.
The ws1001.json seems to be the only way to access the data for the rest of the ws-1001 units. This file updates every 16 seconds and sometimes even every 8 seconds.
So it looks like a setup for the ws1001.json is required.
Thanks
Philip
Yes, I thought I had read that.
But when I enter the address into wd I get data that is not related to the file. The indicator and the counter flash every couple of seconds or so but the data is wrong. I have tried having the ws1001.json file on my server, on a local server and in a file on the weather computer but no luck.
Any ideas please.
for various reasons i have discontinued development those reasons are one so don’t assume anything different perhaps you would like to take over any further development
Hi
before anyone makes an assumption please read below you perhaps will understand my decision .
due to circumstance i now find myself in and if you are aware of the news on a regular basis you will hopefully understand why I no longer
can develop or continue to contribute to the weather template.
unfortunately events that have occurred here in Istanbul,Turkey in the last 6 months as increasingly caused myself much mental stress and grave concern for
my wife and my personal welfare .right now for the last two days we have not slept or gone out of the house and still feel much uncertaintiy ahead of us we pray for the opposite but these circumstances are beyond our control .
I hope to find someone who can take over and support and continue to develop it with the same outlook to design and user experience , i have emailed a few who I think share the same outlook and have the experience to continue developing it and offer some reasonable support.it doesn’t actually require much most common issue is cron jobs and where server configurations can be different.
IM SO SORRY really mean that I enjoy the weather challenge and have been a keen hobbyist on and off since i was 16 years old I’m now 54(soon) .
so there we are I’m sure in the near future hopefully someone will keep it going if not and you have copies of the template feel free to develop it and maintain it for yourself .
sometimes more important things in life drive the decision and right now that is the case for me personally.
hopefully the template will inspire others to create template designs using clean UI’s web development, technology is rapidly changing and user experience is now at the forefront of those new designs . user experience is important functionality needs to be balanced with the user interface to often it is ignored and the end result is not a pleasant user experience especially in the day and age of touch screen devices .
if you are interested in developing or continuing development please drop an email we can Skype and i can provide some details to transfer the necessary files and information.
maybe not my call its up to him but he would need to understand i can not offer any help . i hope people will understand that and perhaps he has too much to
concentrate on his own developments with his template , i am simply looking to give all the template and upcoming development code to someone who can keep it going make it better
add there own ideas .
but where weather display is concerned think you have it all worked .
please accept my apologies for any inconvenience it may cause…
so that people new potential users of the template could at least try to install and use it, could I host the download template file and instructions etc on the weather display server?
sure no problem if you would like to give me your email so i can send the template zipped up , please note someone has agreed to take over the distribution i don’t know if they use WD
or not but it will appear in a few days probably with a new description and definitely a new url none of this will provided by myself .
i would send you two version a standalone clientraw version which based on your software client raw.txt and a WS1001 version which you can adapt even more now you have the
capability of using your software alongside.
really have no issues at all in what you do with it unfortunately i can not be of much help going forward as outlined in the reason above .
please drop me an email i will send them along sometime on monday in perhaps three different emails to reduce the download instead one combined 50+ mb note each version
has dark/light and metric,non metric,uk ,scandinavia(MS) & knots version for the surfers/sea enthusiasts …
I need to create a web page explaining more about the templates with the links on that page and giving credit to Brian Underdown from http://idesign34.com
I have now added, in the latest .zip update, where you can set to use a direct socket connection, where WD receives the raw data direct from the console via TCP socket connection (TCP server-> client setup in the weather station type, WiFI pro setup)
Have been away and see there has been quite some activity on this topic
From what I see (feel free to correct me if wrong) - There seems to be two basic variations on the WS-1001 series - one that comes with a console running Windows CE and a cut down version of the Easy Weather Software (which I have). The other variant does not have a console but instead a receiver with network connectivity (Ambient sell as the Observer IP in the US) this hosts a small webpage on port 80 giving access to the livedata.htm data.
I have done a port scan on my WS-1001 console version and it doesn’t seem to be listening on any ports - so I cannot obtain any data, although the Easy Weather 3.0 beta software (downloadable from here if anyone wants to try: https://ambientweather.wikispaces.com/ws1001-wifi) somehow seems to be able to connect to it and get data. It appears to be relying on UDP broadcast to obtain the MAC address of the device. Though as to the detail of how its doing all this is very hard to see.
The ObserverIP unit sells for $55US (http://www.ambientweather.com/amobserverip.html) - seriously thinking of getting one if it enables me to get the data directly. Else I will have to continue to redirect the WU data to my website and use the file import method. Still, its lot better than getting the data back from WU which is what I had to do previously.
