I currently have a PWS (Personal Weather Station) running on my house (AcuRite 5in1 with internet bridge: http://bit.ly/1l2o813 ), which transmits data to the weather underground. My Station is at: http://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=KCABREA6 My PWS tracks rain fall w…

I agree that no solution is as easy as having rachio support wunderground out of the box, but if you are willing to setup your PWSweather station and get your own wunderground API key, you could start using wufyi.com within 5 minutes, without having another machine running 24/7. I’m fearful of makin…

wufyi.com (link) is now using an updated script with a fix in place. I’ll continue monitoring for issues over the next few days and update the source code (link) if no further issues are detected. The problem was that WU would occasionally report old history data instead of the latest observation. …

Gene is a Genius! Thanks for all your hard work putting this all together. Everything is working great other than a couple of time out issues from cron-job.org last night. Presume that was you solving the history bug. Cheers, Trevor

@Gene I set up wufyi and a cron job. The URL returns “Data Logged and posted in METAR mirror.” but looking at my station’s page on PWS it looks like the data is sometimes 15+ minutes delayed, sometimes posts 2 minutes after the previous post, and sometimes just does not show up. I am not sure how t…

While it is natural to think that a datapoint will be added each time a cron-job is successful, the script was actually designed to avoid “cloned” updates. For this explanation a cloned update is an update using the same data, but with a different timestamp. A successful cron-job means that the la…

@Gene makes total sense, thanks for taking the time to explain it!

Gene: Great job. I set up PWS and a CRON job to use my own stable WU pws. Much easier than I expected. Readings - especially rain - are usually much different at our home than at the local airport location we’d been using for the last year (I’m in Florida where everything is weird.) Now my system i…

@Gene , you are the best! Thanks so much! =)

This is setup yet my pws hasnt shown up yet…

Please make sure you have “Show Personal Weather Stations” turned ON when choosing the weather station within rachio. Edit: Upon further review, it seems that your PWSweather station was incorrectly setup to be located in China. Please make sure you update your station coordinates with a local addr…

Thank you very much for doing this!

It is working great!

Just Installed Rachio, Considering My Own Weather Station

Will this weather station hook up to my rachio?
