I’m not sure if im in the correct thread or not, we have changed our broadband supplier and I am going to try the idesign template again and maybe switch to another faster server if necessary.
I’ve re-installed WD, I deleted the wd folder too, and now starting again but wd is still ftp’ing clientraw to my server even though I have removed all of my ftp details from wd, I just cannot see where its getting my ftp and login details from, is it a windows registry thing ? Its ftp’ing even with the main switch turned off !
Im really looking forward to trying to get the template working.
check under control panel, webfiles/web page setup, real time ftp setup
you may have entered ftp settings under use these ftp setttings and ticked to use that
(as opposed to the normal FTP settings under control panel, FTP/internet setup , connections)
I think that’s stopped it now. I have the latest darkversion template which I believe is more up to date than my previous one, I will test this on my current server in the morning and see how well my server refreshes the data. I also have an excellent ptz dome camera for my sky cam and hope to somehow embed that too.
My indoor temp / hum sensor is now outdoors at ground level, I didn’t realise it was a weather sealed unit so it will now be out at ground level to show differences between the iss up on the roof and what’s going on at ground level. I can change the template to say “temp / hum at ground”.
Many thanks, I sill cannot believe how much functionality you have built into wd, there is nothing it cannot do !
I have the dark version template back up and running on my hosting account, it works, but again it sometimes doesn’t refresh and the barometer / wind / windspeed can get stuck or disappear. I have the template speed at default settings, I haven’t changed any of the refresh speeds but clearly the server does not want to refresh fast enough.
I have spoken to a few hosting companies and explained how the template works and 1 of them said that normal shared hosting may not be good enough and I might need cloud based hosting ?
I may sign up to 1 for a free trial, what do others think about this ?
I have just tested on another hosting account, trail basis, the template was even slower to refresh, so im back on my
current sever.
It appears to be a bit glitch, sometimes it will referesh properly without problems but sometimes elements can get still get stuck. It has been suggested to me that I need a really fast cloud based hosting package, is that really necessary for this template ?
Ive just noticed WD has stopped ftp’ing clicentraw to my pws folder ? Is there is way of uninstalling WD completely including registry entries and anything possibly associated, so I can re-install and start again ?
I really do like this template and it is the one I want to use,
I had to re-register because we have changed our internet provider and I messed up my emails.
Ok, I have removed ftp details from clientraw realtime upload page of WD (alternative ftp server). Now im only using ftp in FTP & Connections / connections, with the main switch on.
The page is still glitchy though, I tried a demo trail hosting shared server and that was even worse response than my current server. I will see if I can find a cloud based hosting account on trial.
Same story here. Can’t connect to the WS-1001 (CONRAD version) by using the webpage.
Easyweather 3.0 is listening nicely, but WD is not. I’ve been using WIRESHARK to see what is going on between EASYWEATHER (EW) and my PC. Looks like that EW is first sending an UDP to the WS1001. THen is getting back to port it can communicate. But every time you restart the EW program, a different port is used. But the port my PC is listening on is always 6500.
That is interesting - the console is running Windows CE as its base OS, so I wonder if Easy Weather is using Windows RPC (Remote Procedure call) This initiates a UDP request to the target which responds with a random high port to which the source then accepts and data comms then proceeds on that port - the port changes each time a session is initiated. I believe RPC is common method for Windows software.
Hi
I have one of these station here now…
and I have easyweather getting the data (after I changed the ini files on the console)
(one gotcha is I did the micro sd card route first…to udpate the firmware…but that changed the frequency…I managed to get that changed back to NZ frequency…433…by tricking it to update again by changing the firmware version in the update.ini
but using the USB connection is much easier…to replace the server.ini (one you realise that the directory is Compact (under my computer), then NAND, then easyweather
anyway, I too have been using wireshark…I can see that easyweather sends a command (which includes the mac address of the console) to the console IP address…
to initiate it to send the data…yes?
I have managed to capture the live data into a simple web server program running on your pc
i.e so no need to have a web site or use your web site
only gotcha is that you need to set your PC IP address in the server.ini file on the console (e.g via the USB connection)
downside is if your PC’s IP address changes…can your PC be assigned a fixed IP?
(also I have found that the data will not update until you set a station ID in the wunderground settings on the console (any ID will do)
build 27 .zip update I have added this new direct support option
and it turns out if you have the console connected to the pc via USB, then it does not matter what IP address you have set in the server.ini file
(it would be interesting to know if it will work with out any change to the server.ini file or any other file )
I may not have understood this method right (new WD user) but I can not get it to work. I have tried, I think, every way to get my weather station to upload data to ws1001.json but without result.
