Hi,


I had the same issue with my virtual weather sensor.

After some testing I found out that weather data is missing on most (all?) smaller villages/towns. When adding a bigger town nearby it syncs fine.

Replacing scheduler-puzzle and add new virtual weather sensor makes the rules run (with wrong town).

Hopefully they will fixit soon.

Something indeed does not seem to be right. My virtual weather station did also not update since 06/11 and it seems that my station dependent rules (together with the variables that depend on astro) have stopped working. It is like the system does not use the last received details to fire the rules, even if it is a couple of days old, but rather stoppes working.

I just added a couple of weather stations of the nearby villages and town and none of them do pull any data. It is also a shame that this data upon addidng is not pulled through from the weather underground stations. When using API, I can definitely see all weather information for the same station but even then it just like does not get to the box.

I understand that the data might arrive later on, but there indeed should be an update button for the weather information.

So overall it indeed seems that the virtual weather station is not fully implemented and it has some flaws and bugs that does not allow the system to be fully utilized.

I added 4 stations in the morning. Now (a couple of hours later) 2 of them did not pull through information (either partial or incomplete), and now I have deleted these. I have 3 stations right now and switched the astro in the relevant rules to this another station that is the closest and is brand new (added this morning). Will see how it goes in the night as Im supposed to receive a message with the valiable. If I receive email, I know that station is working fine.

Fingers crossed.

Thanks, it works fine with nerby city. But it would be better when also small villages/towns be supported.

I think they have done something because my village is now updated again.


I´ll stick to the "bigger town" a little more and then change back if it´s still updated.

It's normal for my Zipabox weather not to update for many hours. I know that it's not because of the weather station itself, because I get regular updates from other services that get data from the same station. Now I see that it hasn't updated since 9am yesterday!

This is why I rely on external weather sources. The Zipabox weather devices just don't do the job.
