Automatic Wunderground Integration?

[Ranfu]

I got a Netatmo PWS yesterday and finished the set-up today (when I finally figured out the reason for no outdoor readings was that I had the batteries in backward!).

Next I went to Weather Underground to share my data. I went through the sequence of four steps and was assigned a station ID that ended in 136. But I could not figure out how to follow the directions that state (paraphrasing) “Enter you station ID and Wunderground password into the application.” I couldn’t find an answer for how to do this in these forums or anywhere else online.

Then I went to the WunderMap for my location and saw a station precisely (to the three reported decimal degrees of latitude and longitude shown in Wunderground) where mine should be. Oddly enough, it had a station ID that had the same leading letters (an abbreviation of the name of the city in which I live) and ended in the numbers 134. This seems like it must be more than a coincidence. My interpretation is that Netatmo automatically set up my new station with Wunderground.

Is that actually the case?

My interpretation is that Netatmo automatically set up my new station with Wunderground.

Your PWS will be added automatically - you even don't need a WU-account.

Thanks for confirming my hunch!

Follow-up…

Can I take ownership of this station in WUnderground?

Yes, just contact Wunderground tech support to associate the weather station with your WU account. Note that I just discovered that even slightly changing your weather station's location in Netatmo setup will create a new WU station id. Argh!

Update: More likely it's the new outdoor module I paired to it because my old one died. Occam's Razor -n- all that.

Is there an experience how long it takes Wunderground tech support to actually do the link? I am waiting since over a week for this and no go so far.

Mine never showed up in WU and its been about 2 years now...

Mine has still not showed up!!

Started station on the 6th Dec 2016, Netamo could not give me a time or an approximation of when the station would appear.
