The Weather Underground widget allows new stations to be added to the database, as well as activate/deactivate stations already in the database. These are stored in DT_LOGGER, DT_LOGGER_SERIES.

 

 

 

The top section of the Weather Underground widget is used for adding new stations. If a station is entered that has already been added, the data will be updated. The lower section contains a tree of all stations currently in the database. Browse through the tree to see which stations are active or inactive. Beneath each station logger node are related series nodes. These are the data fields that will be available after data are collected using the Weather Underground Agent.

 

Add Station

To add a station, enter your API key and Station ID into the Station ID box at the top of the widget and click Add. If the add is successful, the box will be cleared.

 

An API key can be obtained with a paid subscription at https://www.weathercompany.com/weather-data-apis/. For security reasons, the  API key will not be saved when adding a station, so the key has to be added every time you add a station. The Station ID for your device can be found in your Weather Underground device’s settings (Member Devices | Weather Underground).

 

 

Activate / Deactivate Stations

 

A station that shows the green icon is currently registered and active in EQuIS Live, and data are being automatically loaded into EQuIS Live. Right-click an active station logger node and select Deactivate to stop loading data from that station. Existing data will remain in the EQuIS Live database, but no new data will be loaded until the station is activated again.

 

A station that shows the red add icon is not currently active. This can be because the station has never been added to the EQuIS Live system or the station was added previously, but is currently inactive (no data are being loaded). Right-click the station logger node and select Activate to activate the station and begin loading data.
