Mine came back without updating the key

surprise! Weather Underground is back....after a 24 hour hiatus...

Sounds like the problem is a bit more widespread than my simple outage. Funny how something simple as weather overlays become part of our lives - with the weather data posted on our security cameras we keep track of temperatures and rain frequently all day. Disturbing when it it is wrong! I...

Yes, I thought it might just reconnect, but it is now overnight and no joy. I guess I have to give it more time...

Weather Underground not connecting again. Has worked well for months, now the problem is back. I have checked everything, even logged in to WU and checked. Shows my account as online. Yet no connection to either the WU web weather or BIT. Anyone else having the issue? Is there a fix to...

I just shut off auto update.

Not directly related to Weather Overlay Issue - I have a perennial issues with task windows opening from the weather overlay tab of BIT. Windows open fine from other tabs. When I click on "Results" or "BI Macros" on the Overlay tab, the windows do not open on screen. When I mouse over the...

I would love to be a beta tester - how do I PM you?

OK, reading through all this great material has jogged my old brain....before we had BIT we used the personal API Key to directly interface Blue Iris to WeatherUnderground to get the data for weather overlays. That is the good news. The bad news is that I am much older now and cannot remember...

Following.... Hope we have a pws weather overlay solution. I am removing my "dead" overlays for now. I really like the idea of getting data from our own PWS but that may too complicated without a neutral interface. It was nice while it lasted....

Well, I am a bit chagrined - it is now working fine. Last night I couldn't do a thing with it so I wrote first this this morning. Now it is working perfectly, even opening those windows like the log seems to be perfect. I guess writing you was the magic touch. I will keep an eye on it to...

I have lost my GUI altogether. BIT is running. When I click on the icon in the toolbar, it says BIT is running in the systems tray, but there is no icon in the systems tray for BIT. The GUI would open before the last update, but none of the windows would open - like log, or settings, just...

I corrected my previous post - I meant VWS support, not BI!!!

Thanks for the data - that confirms what I said - WU is updating OK from my VWS. And BIT is polling the data without errors every 3 minutes. The problem is still that the data BIT is getting is not correct or it is not updating BI. The data lags considerably and is erratic as to how long it...

I go way back (20 years ?) with VWS (Virtual Weather Station from Ambient, now obsolete), first with an Oregon Scientific Weather Station, now with the Davis Vantage Vue 6351. The Davis is a dream compared to the Oregon Scientific! I have been using WU for so many years so I am accustom to...
