Hellow All
I have a Davis weather station which transmits my weather date to the web. has any one used a Davis weather station to update weather data on a AP mount specificly CP4. APCC. Clear Skys Jim |

Hi Jim it's been a few years but I don't think Davis has an ASCOM observing conditions driver for it? you might know better than me or check with them On Sun, Nov 13, 2022 at 9:14 AM Jim Crumly <jimwc@...> wrote: Hellow All --

it's coming back to me now :) you need a wunderground API key to do that, but they were monkeying around with the licensing and limiting the # of calls you could make in a time period. Looking at their docs now, i think you should be able to set it up by getting that API key from them On Sun, Nov 13, 2022 at 8:11 PM Jim Crumly <jimwc@...> wrote:

I have a Davis Vantage Pro2 that I use to feed weather data into my system. I wrote my own ASCOM observing conditions driver that APCC can poll to get the weather info, as well as any other client app that can use ASCOM observing conditions like NINA.
The specifics may not be relevant to you though. I don't use the Davis WeatherLink hardware/software to feed weather data to the web. I felt their solution was too expensive and required plugging the base station into a PC, which I didn't have to connect to where I had the Davis base station. Instead, I use third party software called Meteobridge, which can do this and a whole lot more, such as pushing the weather data into dozens of weather sites, or things like a database. The cheapest way to enable this is to use a cheap travel wifi router that you can flash the meteobridge firmware. I chose to go with the Meteobridge Nano hardware, which plugs into the Davis base station. I then wrote an ASCOM Alpaca driver for it. I set my meteobridge to push data to my Alpaca driver, which is really an embedded web server. This driver can also poll the meteobridge as well. Now if you are using the Davis hardware/software and push to Weather Underground, there's an ASCOM driver that can pull the data from there. You're at the mercy of the internet and the Weather Underground site. Ever since IBM bough Weather Underground, I feel it's really gone downhill and it was unclear if they were going to continue supporting an open API to retrieve the data, so I wanted a solution that didn't rely on them or even a working internet connection I've been meaning to open source my stuff and make it available. It's mostly an exercise in cleaning the code up a bit and documenting how it works. There's a bit more than that as I ended up implemented the whole ASCOM Alpaca framework to support any ASCOM device. This is all in Java, so cross platform. Alex |

Alex that sounds great If you do end up making it available there would be a whole lot of people (myself included) very interested in that!

I got nina to see my station in weather underground but the API key dosen't respond.
WU just changed there security to TLS version 1.2 all calls must begin with https://.
I don't know if nina is up to date or not.

I just renewed the API key so I'll give it a couple hours to settle in. Got som errands to run then lunch. So I'll check when I get back home.

NINA's built-in WeatherUnderground client uses the https url for their API service. When it comes to TLS 1.2 support, the only issues here are people who are still running Windows 7. Windows 7's system TLS library does not grok TLS 1.2 without a specific patch and a registry tweak to enable it. Since NINA uses the .NET HTTP client, and that in turn uses the system TLS library, any communications with TLS 1.2-only sites will fail on Windows 7 without that patch+registry change.

Generally, any issues in NINA will be logged in its log file. You can open the log folder in File Explorer by clicking on the button next to Log Level under Options > General > Advanced, or by entering %LOCALAPPDATA%\NINA\Logs in your File Explorer window's address bar. As far as getting data from your Davis weather stating into APCC for model adjustment purposes, the built-in WU client in NINA is not what you want to use, as that is not an ASCOM driver that APCC can use. It only wires NINA into that as a source of weather info. There does not seem to be an ASCOM driver for interfacing with WU in particular, but there appears to be one for talking directly to David VantagePro stations: https://github.com/blumzi/ASCOM.VantagePro/releases I would connect both APCC and NINA to the ASCOM ObservingConditions Hub (OCH) and then configure OCH to use this driver for the various types of info it provides. This will allow both NINA and APCC use the driver at the same time and will also allow you to mix in multiple sources of weather information if you desire that.

I'm using a MeteoBridge -- which connects to many weather stations including Davis, and services like WU. (these were sold by Ambient Weather for a while) https://www.meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/Home I wrote an ASCOM driver for the meteobridge to access observing conditions into the ASCOM environment for my imaging (MaximDL). (The meteobridge has a known URL which the ASCOM driver I wrote accesses.)
So my chain goes Davis->meteobridge -> WU and my driver accesses meteobridge locally. |

Thanks All
I will look into all the options and try to find one that works.
I have my WX hooked up to the internet via weatherLink live and then weather link.com to CWOP and now to WU. I believe WeatherLink plain is not supported by Davis. So I'll have to do some testing.
