There are a few caveats around this though... * You must have at least a Pro subscription for your device on WLweatherlink.com to grant access to the historic data. * The new APIv2 used to access the data ~~is still in testing and development by Davis. Though it seems pretty stable, and I have discovered no bugs in the calls Cumulus uses~~. * The APIv2 keys are ~~not yet~~now available via WLweatherlink.com~~, you must request them on the [https://gitter.im/WeatherLink/weatherlink-live-local-api developer forum] - see below for details~~. If you meet the criteria ~~and are willing to accept that the API is not yet "production" ready~~, then these are the steps you need to follow... # Sign on to the Davis ~~APIv2~~weatherlink.com ~~developer~~web ~~forum:~~site ~~https://gitter.im/WeatherLink~~with your normal username/~~v2-api~~password # On weatherlink.com open your user profile, you will see a section titled API Key v2 ~~# Post a message copying @jeremywall-davis, and request an API key. Jeremy should reply privately within a day or two giving you your API key and secret.~~ # If you do not already have a key and secret displayed, click "Generate v2 key" to create them. Copy these strings somewhere safe so you can later paste them into Cumulus # Ensure you are running Cumulus MX v3.4.0 or later # If this your first run of CumulusMX. ## In the WLL section enter your API key and secret. LEAVE THE STATION ID BLANK ## Set up your sensor to transmitter ID mappings if different from the defaults ## It is not necessary to enter the WLL IP address if you only have one device, Cumulus should just find it on your network. But if you know it, it does not harm to enter it, Cumulus will change it anyway if your WLL ever changes address. ## Save the setup ## ~~Stop/~~Restart Cumulus # If you only have a single station registered with WLweatherlink.com, then Cumulus should discover its ID automatically and start using it # But if you have more than one, the Cumulus will list their API IDs and names in the console window. # Note the ID you want to use. Go back into the Station setup and enter the ID there. You do not need to restart Cumulus after that. # Enjoy! Cumulus should now download missing data for periods it is stopped. ~~Eventually once the APIv2 is out of testing, then you should be able to retrieve your APIv2 key and secret via the normal WL.com page along with the existing APIv1 (until it is retired).~~ ~~Once APIv2 goes live~~ Davis ~~will~~ impose rate and data limits on the APIv usage- currently they are ~~proposing~~... * 300 API calls per hour, or 2 API calls per second * 24 hours of data in any one call
