Ambient Weather

Prerequisites

• Set up your Ambient Weather station and connect it to the internet - follow the user documentation that came with your station.
• Access the Ambient Weather administration - the simplest option is to use the AWNET mobile application.

Steps

The exact configuration options may vary depending on your firmware version.

1. Open the AWNET application and choose your station.
2. Navigate to Device Settings -> Customized (or Customized Server).
3. Select Enable.
4. Fill in the following fields:
   • Protocol Type: Wunderground
   • Server / Hostname: stations.windy.com (do not include http://, https://, or a trailing slash /)
   • Port: 80 for HTTP, or 443 if your station supports HTTPS
   • Path: /api/v2/observation/update? (include the final ? exactly as shown)
   • Station ID: enter the Station id of your station
   • Station Key / Password: enter the Station password of your station
   • Upload interval: 300 means 5 minutes. Do not send data more often than once every 5 minutes; otherwise, your requests will be blocked by the rate limiter. You can use a longer interval if needed.
5. Save your changes by clicking the Save button.

You can find your Station id and Station password on the station detail page in Windy Stations: My Stations -> station -> Connection.
