Ambient Weather Integration Connection

Configuration Frontend
1

Anyone having a problem with the Ambient Weather integration today? My instance has suddenly failed to connect to the AW cloud. My weather station data is available on AW.net and WU and when the ‘visit’ button on my HA device is clicked it successfully opens the AW.net page with my data.

Logger: homeassistant.components.ambient_station

Integration: Ambient Weather Station (documentation, issues)

Config entry 'Upper Greenwood Road' for ambient_station integration not ready yet: Connection error; Retrying in background

Update:

This seems to have resolved itself.

Yes. All the same symptoms.

3

Yes, same here.

4

same here…

5

Same… Hopefully it’s just a bug and not a permanent issue?

6

Same issue.

Data flatlined around 7:30 AM (central time). Showing a connection error after rebooting HA.

7

I have tried to recreate my API keys just to make sure there is no expiration issue.
Problem still persists after using new api keys. it does look like it was manage to verify my login but no connection after that.

8

Mine, too, says “Retrying setup: Connection error.” The Logbook portion of the Device Info page shows entries from this morning (five hours ago).

Logging in to the Ambient Weather web site, I see that I have no subscriptions listed. Did I have one before, which expired?

9

Interestingly I’m also in CST but my data was working until about 9am. So it doesn’t seem to be the EXACT same time for everyone.

i think the subscription is for cameras. according to this:

Ah, thank you – that explains why I had never seen this before. :7)

12

I’m having the same issue as well. I tried reinstalling the integration, but the problem persists.

UPDATE: I’m connected again as of approximately 5pm Eastern.

13

Mine flat-lined pretty much right at 7am pacific/9am central

14

hmm it just came back for me

15

same here.

@davel4wa - It’s the “aioambient” connection that is failing for some reason (in your syslog)…

I have the same issue so it is not you, I think it is AmbientWeather, but not sure. I also send data to other places with a daemon of my own other than the standard integrations with HA, and the console to HA message (or is it to ambientweather and HA also listens? Not Sure how the integration works). Anyway the last successful message in in my syslog was:

That was the last successful message, at 10:02am EST. Now, instead of the above, I am getting these:

As mentioned above I have a weewx daemon running also and I have HA (I should use MQTT as this is kludgy but) scraping a couple different logs to update template command line sensors set up to capture my weather transmissions to a varety of locations all over the world from my weather station, and those are updating fine - in addition to what AmbientWeather offers out of the box - so theres nothing wrong with the weather station or our setups -

the first rectangle is typically updated every minute - and the others which are working fine, transmit in each time shown:

Lastly, for example, the AWEKAS website in Germany (from the list above) is showing they are getting and posting the data in near-real time (here is the link) - so this I think might be an AmbientWeather issue…?

Same here. In the meantime, I actually just set things up so I’m polling the data locally (won’t work for everyone, but if you have the observerIP box it should). I was just getting ready to switch my cards, etc. to the new sensors when I noticed the integration was back on-line. Guess I can take my time switching everything over now.

Thanks to @GaryK for the info. Here’s the link to what he shared in another thread:

It always seemed beyond asinine to talk to a web server to get weather data that my local weather station was sending to said server instead of just getting it straight from it.

Yippee! It’s working again for me, too.

@brooksben11 so listen to your weather station directly like I do (actually I listen to the console as it enriches the data it receives from the weather station). They easiest way is if you notice when setting your your console with the AWNERT app on your phone, there is an option send data also to “customized”. I have that send data to weewx I have running on a RPI host (whihc is also running Home Assistant Supervised). Weewx rocks, it’s got a built in database for saving the information, all manner of addons and also even sets up it’s own website on your machine to m,assage and show the adata - and it’s all free… https://weewx.com/

@abrum, all of the sudden it’s working for me too:
