Good morning,

I was hoping to add this station to PWS

Thank you so much!

Gene, I am new to this forum. It looks like you are the guy to talk to:) Can you help me?

I just installed my new Ambient Weather WS-2902A today. I am having the same issues with connecting weather underground with my Rachio 2 through PWS.

I believe this is the info you need:

Hello Gene. I had to be gone a few days, and I’m just getting back to this and I’m not seeing the ID you indicated I should look for. I log into my Rachio account and go to settings and weather intelligence, click on pws and the drop down list doesn’t have it listed. Am I missing something? Thank you for all your help.

Hi Gene, is there any chance of

being added to the list? I’ve just moved house.

Please keep in mind that pwsweather stations take some time to show up at this time, if it doesn’t show up in a couple of days. Message me (link) and we’ll take it from there.

Hi Gene. I was looking for a way to add a nearby wunderground station to my Rachio Gen 2 and found this thread. Are you able to add the station below please? The pws I have been using hasn’t reported any precipitation for a while now and is messing up my schedules.

Appreciate it!

PWSweather is undergoing some changes with their website. Things are a bit buggy at the moment, if the station is not showing up within Rachio in a couple of days, please PM (link) me and I’ll see what can be done.

Thank you,
Gene

Please keep in mind that this station does not appear to be a good match for Rachio, as it does not report any rain data.

Hi Gene

You recently setup my WS with PWS Weather (WX27175). I can view my station in PWS Weather but can’t log in to it. I tried setting up the station through PWS Weather but it tells me the station is already registered and that I should contact the person who setup the account. Are you able to help with this.
My Rachio is using the station for its weather intelligence and it’s working great.

Gene · April 6, 2020, 12:36pm

The station is registered under my account, here are the options of what can be done:

You can register a new station, and private message (link) me the new station name & first 8 characters of your pwsweather password to authenticate the data uploads. We’ll disable WX27175 once the new station shows up within Rachio.
You can contact pwsweather support (link) and ask for the WX27175 station to be transferred to your account. Not sure how responsive they will be with everything that is going on, but it worked for others in the past. You will still need to private message me the first 8 characters of your pwsweather password for the updates to continue after the transfer.
You can leave it as is. Having the station registered under your account does not provide any more information than already publicly visible here (link). If you would like to make any changes to the station information (information you’d provide during registration), feel free to message me and I’ll make the changes.
