Asking another favor, could you add

This is my nextdoor neighbor.

Thanks in advance.

@Gene Thank you so much for all your effort and hard work bring this needed functionality to the Rachio community. If you could add my my station as well, I would greatly appreciate it.

Do you have an Amazon wishlist?

I’d love to help Benjamin, but the station ID you’ve provided points to an inactive station, seems it was last updated 137 days ago? Seem that station is an ambient ws-1400 model, and if you are uploading data to ambientweather.net I can use that instead of underground in case you are having issues there.

I you would prefer to use ambientweather.net, login to your account (here), create an API key and PM or email (setup@wufyi.com) it to me so I can take care of the rest. Alternately, please double check the station ID you’ve provided and your setup to upload data to wunderground.

Cheers,
Gene

Gene,

If I go the Ambient Weather route instead of WU, are the updates to Rachio more frequent, or is it still at 5 minute intervals?

It would be great if Rachio allowed a direct feed from Ambient Weather!

Thanks,

Gary

While Ambient does support a higher update rate, Rachio only gets daily summary readings from their provider. Updating at higher rate will thus not have any real advantage for your irrigation needs.

I do think Rachio may be using a higher resolution data from WU for their WI+ offering, but it is just a guess on my part.

Gene,

Thanks for the information.

I have a Gen 2 controller, so no WI+ for me. Hopefully Rachio will start allowing older controllers to utilize WI+.

Gene, I really appreciate you adding KNEOMAHA259 to PWS so I could use that for my Rachio 2 a few weeks back. Unfortunately, that PWS stopped reporting July 2. Could you add another neighborhood station so I can use it?

This station has been online for a long time and is a lot more reliable. Thanks

Done, I didn’t want to reuse your other station since the name refers to a specific wunderground station id, and it seems someone already registered KNEOMAHA157 with pwsweather, so I’ve made a generic name for the ***157 station, data will be available via wufyi3827.
