I'm running a brand new AAG anemometer and AAG humidity sensor under
wserver's 'latest' version. Everything works great
onscreen.....humidity, 2 temp sensors (anemometer and humidity sensor),
wind speed and direction....all reporting fine on the computer. The
problem is with the wunderground post...it shows humidity at -999%,
similarly with all the other nonexistent devices on wunderground showing
-xx%. Is there a way to parse the wserver wunderground output to see
what it is reporting? Is there any way to change/correct the wserver
output? (Ideally I'd like the humidity to report the correct reading
and the nonexistent devices to report '0'.)
I've checked through the archives here and can't find anything on the
subject.
Here's the station in question:

Thanks in advance

Hi, my system using WServer - 20.05.2005 seems to report it OK to
Wunderground. Here is a cut of the info from my Wserver log file. I don't
see anything in the config settings that change anything.

Hi, thanks. That's odd....mine reads the same as yours except that I
have nothing after the 'tempf=63.8' and between the '&weather=n/a' part.
I wonder why the wunderground output is not producing the humidity and
dew point sections? ...it certainly sees them both in the program.....
Hmmmm, odd indeed.

Is there a tag within the 'sensors.ini' file that controls whether
humidity is reported in the output?

Thanks

Here is the section from my sensors.ini. I don't see anything that is
obvious to me for wunderground in it.

Does it show correctly in the Wserver screen?

is the wunderground part.

Hello guys!

Sorry 'bout my late reply here, the reason WServer is not publishing the
humidity & dewpoint is because it's in demo mode.
The registered version will be adding the missing values to the string
being posted to Weather Underground.

Kind regards,
Arne

I'm coming in late on this, but what you see below is added to the end
of the URL for wunderground as an HTML GET parameters. What is there is
what is sent, if the program appends it properly to the wunderground URL.

I actually wrote a shell script which puts the things in order and uses
wget to connect to wunderground to give it the data. There is truly no
magic there.

Wow. Thanks. So that's it???? LOL! I must have missed the memo that
said the download was crippled until registered.

For testing purposes, so that I know what is and isn't working properly,
what else is crippled until registered?

Thanks
