Are there server problems??

[craig0069]

Is there a way to upload the info to say Weather Underground
Or similar. I am not very technical person but must be a way somehow

Hi, I sent this to cs in France [Oregon Scientific France <[e-mail]>, [e-mail]] (in French); let's see what happen...
>>>>>>>>>
Bonjour,

Mon nom est xxxxx, mon email utilisé dans votre système est xxxxxx.

Depuis quelques années, j’ai investi dans le système LW301, ainsi que dans 6 capteurs de températures additionnels (en plus du capteur de base Hygro/Thermo), un capteur anémométrique, un capteur pluviométrique et un capteur UV.

Depuis trois semaines, le site (et donc la collecte des données, passant obligatoirement par votre serveur) est en panne ; et d’après ce même site, vous n’allez pas le remettre en fonction.
Pardonnez-moi, mais ce n’est pas acceptable. Les capteurs fonctionnent très bien, ainsi que le transmetteur. Il n’est donc pas question de garantie ou pas dans ce cas, car les appareils achetés fonctionnent.
Par contre, vous décidez unilatéralement de stopper un service essentiel à l’utilisation des appareils achetés, les rendant par là-même totalement inutiles, alors que leur valeur avoisine les 400 euros.

Les réglementations européennes n’autorisent pas un arrêt pur et simple, du jour au lendemain, d’un service essentiel au fonctionnement d’appareils achetés par un consommateur, et certainement pas seulement 4 ans après la mise en service.

Je vous enjoins donc à revoir votre position ou à fournir des solutions, par exemple :
- fournir les caractéristiques et informations nécessaires (en open-source) pour que tout un chacun puisse se connecter au LW301 et en recevoir les données
- fournir une autre solution totalement équivalentes (transmission et stockage des informations capturées, possibilité de connexion à des systèmes informatique d’analyse des données, sachant que comme dit plus haut, j’ai besoin d’au moins 6 capteurs de température externes, un interne, un pluviomètre, un anémomètre, un UV mètre et un baromètre.

Veuillez je vous prie reconsidérer votre position. En l’absence de réaction, je me verrai contraint de prendre contact avec les associations de consommateurs (Test-Achats en Belgique, Que Choisir en France).

Dans l’attente d’une réponse rapide et satisfaisante,

Cordialement,
>>>>>>>>>>

I'm from norway
I have pushed the scandinavian email contact several times, no answered yet; I'm disappointed about fix or paybacks; so lack of support; incredibly...
What a crap firm...

I really think, it will give maxium pressure if we maked over complain as public as possible. So wright on facebook and truspilot, many times.

[dsmith124]

Yes, this is poor even buy their very low standards. Even if they did get it back on line there would still be the glaring issues;

There is no rain accumulation, only rain rate.

The wind gust reading is lower then the average wind speed.

Wind history only shows direction as a single value.

I have tried many times to get them to address these issues to no avail. I have even offered to fix it for them but their pat answer is to call the help desk.

We are all outraged with what has happened. They can not do this because they want to.
The server has to work if or if.
I personally will wait until September 1st. From there legal measures with all the fury I have.

I received an answer from OS France; they only propose me to receive a WMR86N (black/white, no data connection, only 3 possible sensors). I refused, but asked them if they can publish the technical informations in order to recreate a similar server (at least locally) to retrieve the LW301 pushed data (manipulating the DNS of the local network should be able to redirect the LW301 requests towards a local server).

[dsmith124]

The lw301 makes a connection to 123.1.185.73, I did not see a dns query which is strange so I assume the address is hard coded which is very poor practice.
You can redirect the address in your router but you are stuck with the data format that it sends out, so if it does not match underground or whom ever we are kind of stuck.

[michelr]

Thank you ! This IP is strange, not even seems to be in a Data Center Like, it is an IP of a simple modem of someone

ip: "123.1.185.73"
city: ""
region: ""
country: "HK"
loc: "22.2500,114.1670"
asn: Object
asn: "AS17444"

Interesting reading: www.silent-gardens.com/blog/shark-hunt-lw301/

==> I adapted the LAN DNS config on my Draytek router to send to a linux box/apache server in my LAN every request originally sent to gateway.weather.oregonscientific.com.
Will analyse them.

And it works: having on my linux box a php page answering to /update
<?php
file_put_contents("/Users/Shared/lw301.log", "timestamp=" . time() . "&" . file_get_contents('php://input') . "\n", FILE_APPEND);
?>

gives:

I like what is see keep up you are in the track of something

[michelr]

Thanks, but I am just following what others did, and now I am investigating weewx (http://weewx.com, github.com/weewx/weewx). With the router redirecting the gateway.weather.oregonscientific.com requests to my linux box, installing weewx and the weewx interceptor (https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-interceptor) configured for LW30X in listen mode, I am able to capture and see the data.

I am now customising with visualising the extra sensors besides the standard outTemp/outHumidity one. Customization is not obvious, but simple.

I have now switched over to telldus and I can now see all Oregon sensors, 3 temperature, rain, wind sensors. I have also bought 3 more temperature sensors. The service is free to look at the current sensor values, however to be able to store sensor values it costs  a small yearly fee. You can also add more devices like controlling lights etc. See more telldus.com/

Which type of telldus have you bought? START-UP KIT TELLDUS MONITOR 433MHZ?

Yes, it's the 433mhz start up kit
