How do you guys adjust the camera so it shows not just the sky? I mounted mine on a handrail and it shows side of house and sky onlyā€¦

Hi @jovanm,

The entire top-back of the BloomSky unit is a move-able section (think ā€œeyelidā€). Just put your hand just behind the ā€œlensā€ and gently move it forward.

Thanks for providing all the info needed! Verified and added to spreadsheet. Starting with you, instead of an * to note a new station I am using the day of the month. After a week (on the 10th for you) I will remove the note.

Updated your info and added to spreadsheet. Thanks.

OH, you mean: Station Name: East Bench SLC, Utah

Verified and added to spreadsheet.

The spreadsheet encompasses every post in this thread up to this message. Even changes which were not posted like the message above you, The incorrect station name was listed, but I corrected it in the spreadsheet.

I would recommend you add those who have followed you first, then start adding the othersā€¦

How about posting your BloomSky user name?

Problem is that this becomes circular.

Iā€™m debating picking one of these up. Aside from the obvious photography features, how accurate and useful are the weather sensor readings? I would also want to integrate into wunderground as a PWS - how well is this working for people?

Hi @realmofadam,

I have had no issues with the PWS wunderground integration since initially setting this up.

The weather sensor reading are pretty accurate, but the temperature readings may be a little higher than ambient if you have the solar panels directly under the sensors.

I would say that the lux sensor readings are a nice bonus as well. :slightly_smiling:

Oops I updated my orignial post. :slight_smile:

Wunderground integration is working fine for me. Even the bloomsky webcam works great in wunderground.

I find that the sensors are fairly accurate. The only issues Iā€™ve seen are elevated temperature readings for roughly three hours, beginning just after sunrise. I have the cam pointed east, so as soon as the sun gets in the camera picture frame, the temp readings rise :confused: Once the sun gets near the camera picture frame edge again, the temps drop and stabilizes. Thereā€™s a BloomSky just north of mine, and that one does the same thing, except that cam is pointed west.

OK, now back to favoring stations ā€¦

The Boonies station (mine) is dewalkley in BloomSky. Unfortunately it still has the condensation issues and Iā€™m waiting on support to actually answer the phone :smile:

@Warmart FWIW I think the picture it is sending right now looks really cool.

I have the weather data going to WU fine but not the webcam. Is there a trick to setting up the webcam on WU? I canā€™t seem to get past the page where I add the webcam. I fill out the form I choose FTP at this page https://www.wunderground.com/webcams/signup.html and fill out the form on this page https://www.wunderground.com/webcams/signup.html#addcam but when I hit save and continue the page just reloads. I email support but never hear back.

IIRC, I only did your first link, then went back to http://bloomsky.com/wun to make sure I also registered the webcam. I then logged out, logged back in, and seen the webcam was uploading. I then logged back in to wunderground and noticed that the cam was active in ā€œMy Webcamsā€.
