I filled it out, plan on putting it at parents’ house unless Bloomsky disagrees. Then it will just go on the back on the house and we can have views o both the eastern and western skies , compare the temperature in direct sun in front and in the shade in the back on the house. :slightly_smiling:

So they live on one place. About to create a main post as well

So, you have to create a new device, right? I would suggest putting that in the directions/instructions…for slow people like me.

  • Add code to IDE.
  • Publish
  • Create New Device in IDE “My Devices”
  • Open mobile app
  • Open device and add api key to preferences

I keep finding units like this

Easy to spot when browsing different stations and see the temperature on one is " out of whack" with all the others in an area.

thanks @schapper05 for updating OP :slightly_smiling:

Also got someone to work on the indoor module with me. I will work on something this weekend :slightly_smiling:

I am planning on making this all one thing too. One app installs the Indoor/Outdoor DTH and schedules both of them.

So it was late in the day when I installed mine, so I plugged it into power in the yard. It’s still showing offline. Anyone else having this issue?

With the way Weather Underground does it on their WunderMap, it is very easy to find almost exactly where the stations are sometimes. The only ones that have stumped me have been the kind in the back yard when there is no other angle to see back there (though I know it’s back there).

If it’s going to be so accurate like that, it’s just one more confirmation to not give out my link lol

Ya, that’s what I’ve always done with the WU ones. It’s definitely worth taking a look. I’ve changed which ones I use from time to time, solely based on the fact that I decided to go check on a few of them for whatever reason when I was bored. Ya never know when somebody’s weather station has been run over by a tractor in the garden, or buried in snow, or bumped by melting ice chunks or whatever.

So, you got it all set up on your WiFi and then took it out to the yard, and that’s when it stopped working, or haven’t you gotten that far yet?

I did get that far. Then noticed it was “offline”, so I went and grabbed an extension cord and the AC adapter, to see if that would help. Its been offline for a couple hours now.

Just got mine and threw it on the roof but I get this error after setting it up:

5e39fb10-d078-4007-a27c-8451a8985393  8:09:17 PM: error groovyx.net.http.HttpResponseException: Internal Server Error @ line 105
5e39fb10-d078-4007-a27c-8451a8985393  8:09:16 PM: error java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out @ line 105

It shows up in the dashboard, and the app. Verified the API key in the device type as well.

Anyone else get this?

399

that error looks like timeout connecting to them. Slow internet connection or busy server would be my guess.

Here’s what I get when I send a curl request, not sure I’m doing that right, curl is not my thing…Make any sense?

I’m guessing it’s not possible, but it would be really neat to be able to update the icon by the weather stations current conditions. I.E. No Lux during daytime = cloudy icon, Rain=rainy icon, etc.

At the very least though Is there a way to change the Icon, or set it to any icon weather related?

I know that this is a very minor, probably never needed thing, Just thought it would be neat.

Thanks @slagle for creating the device type and SmartApp I couldn’t wait I had to put it together and stick it outside for the night to get everything going. So far it looks and is working great!
