  • Hello Jmoriart!

    Sorry to know you have an issue with Weather Underground.
    First of all, you’re right, the ID is MARCA2… ??
    I’ve just tested your station in my plugin, and I have the same issue, the event log says “unknown station ID”. It’s a generic error which says only one thing : the plugin can’t access to the station, but it’s not an API key problem. So, i ran in debug session and found that answer from WUG :

    {
      "response": {
      "version":"0.1",
      "termsofService":"https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/d/terms.html",
      "features": {
      "conditions": 1
      }
    		,
    	"error": {
    		"type": "Station:OFFLINE"
    	}
    	}
    }

    In short, it says the station is offline…
    So, it’s not a problem of the plugin and I don’t think it’s a problem of WUG. Actually, WUG seems to consider that the station is offline for a reason or another. So, let’s investigate the possible reasons.

    First of all, after reading the WUG page of your station, I saw your station is sending data only once per hour. The max time limit (I read it on the WUG site, but don’t remember exactly where) is 10 minutes, so you must be sending data every 10 (or less) minutes from your station.

    Here is what I propose you: adjust your sending on 10 minutes (I don’t know your station, so I don’t know how to do this), wait 1-2 hours to be sure data is correctly received by WUG and try to add the station in the plugin.

    If after that the issue get persistent, we will try another thing, but I think it’s the first test to do…

    PS: I promise, in the next version of the plugin, I will improve the quality of the error messages ??

    Hi Pierre,

    Thank you so much for such thorough support! Truly excellent.

    Good to know that this is what is going on. I’m not the owner of the station and they say they are getting accurate data from that station on another site, but I too thought that the station was not reporting to Weather Underground. I’ll work with them and try to get this resolved.

    Merci beaucoup!
    -John

    You’re welcome!

    – don’t hesitate to come back if you have another issue/question/remark/… ??

    Pierre
