WU is active though:

I think the issue is that your station goes through many levels of transfer:
Netatmo > meteoware > WU > wxfyi > pwsweather, each step introduces a delay, thus by the time data gets from netatmo to pwsweather, it is already considered old.

Is this your station?

Looking at the data, it seemed so, even if the GPS did not exactly match. I’ve switched from updating WX58121 from WU to updating it directly from netatmo, skipping meteoware & WU as intermediaries. Let me know if issue is resolved, or you would like to make changes.

Works in website but can’t see it in Rachio. What am I missing?

225

With the new pwsweather redesign, it seems that they’ve made some changes somewhere which caused Rachio issues detecting new stations. If you are patient, your station should show up within rachio after about a week, If you would like to use your station right away, you can share full access to your controller with support@wxfyi.com and I could help you further.

Does this mean I can remove access to Meteoware on my Netatmo unit? Trying to minmize the # of services that things connect to.

Also on the new PWS (WX58121), is there a way I can claim that as my station on my PWS account? Can’t seem to figure it out from their website.

You are still using Meteoware to update your WU station. You can get rid of them, but your WU updates will stop unless you wish me to update your WU station as well.

As far as claiming the station, I’ll refer you to the post from 17 days ago in this very thread:

@Gene Hi from Australia, I have been struggling with my Gen2 and a PWS 17km away, over the mountain! I would really appreciate if you could add my PWS: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/IYARRA3
Cheers, Bruce

Hello Gene. From reading this thread you must be a wizard. I recently setup my Rachio 2 and have spent almost 2 days trying to get my Rainwise weather station added to PWS. I opened a PWS account and added my station KSCMYRTL52. I input my data into my Rainwise account: station ID and password but PWS still doesn’t recognize my station. Rainwise is trying to figure it out as we speak. Any suggestions on what we are doing wrong. Here is my WU page.

@Gene for the above post. Didn’t see a way to edit it.

232

Hey Gene, I have a Weatherflow Tempest station. I can see it on WU but not pws. This is my WU url. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KUTHERRI74

I am about to break something, it is driving me crazy. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I am running a Rachio gen 2. Thanks!

233

GENE can you also please add KTXCONRO185 to the list. This is my personal Acurite weather station I have in my back yard and would like to utilize it.

Hi @Gene. I also have a Weatherflow Tempest station. Added to WU. If possible, can you add my WU URL as well? https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KCALOMAL10

236

Oh, I created a PWS account, the station ID is 18279. However, my laptop (macOS app) that uploads to it, is limited to the times I have the laptop running. Not sure if it’s still needed if you can help. Rachio Gen 2 owner. Thank-you!

237

Check you inbox, I need the pwsweather password to authenticate data uploads to your station. You will not have to have your laptop running 24/7.

238

@Gene I just installed a Weatherflow Tempest station and added it to WU. Can you link my station to PWS, too? Thanks. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNJSICKL20

239

I have located this station on wunderground within a mile of my controller. Can it be added to the PWS network? For clarification, I do not own this weather station.
