That’s very good advice.

Baie dankie

Bingo, it’s back. I suspect it is the gateway as you said, and then re-enabling the location to my WUG API key (blue dot). Thanks you assisted me a lot today.

[deon.dup]

I have confirmed the gateway, by checking /etc/dhcpcd.conf and ensuring entries for STATIC_IP, GATEWAY, and DNS are added to wlan0, as below:

interface wlan0
static ip_address=192.168.1.182/24
static routers=192.168.1.1.
static domain_name_servers=8.8.8.8

I’m however not sure if that is correct. Should I not rather have entries for wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces?

I can access the controller via WiFi, ping it, and even SSH into it. Not sure what you mean from Outside LAN, should I have port forwarding before the weather service works? So in summary I’m currently on same network, basically sitting right on top of controller, both laptops and controller on same SSID. Controller has latest firmware 2.1.9 (4), see attached screenshot.

HI Rob,

I added the API back, power cycled, and waited for couple seconds. The issue remain. Is there a diagnostic command I could run to check?

Hi Rob

I battled earlier to delete API key, but now managed to get rid of it. So in theory I should be back on Darksky now, right? Also rebooted controller, but the weather service still remains offline. Not sure what else to try now?

[deon.dup]

I have the same issue. Trying now to revert back to default settings, by removing Underground API key. My assumption is that by removing the key, the system will revert back to Darksky. I cannot however delete the API key, it just remains. What is the best option to follow here? I would really like to get the weather algorithms to work.

Hi Ray, I figured that much, and managed to get NTP going on PI, or at least I hope so. Quite a task on an old Pi 2B. Anyway my project is built now, seems to work quite well.

[deon.dup]

I tried that UDP on port 123, but not sure if the Pi actually sees that. I think main issue is to first get NTP setup on the Pi, and thereafter why the NTP check box is missing from the Advanced settings tab.

[deon.dup]

I have the same issue, and followed the thread, but can’t figure it out. Firstly I don’t have a setting under Settings>Advanced to switch NTP either on of off; there is no setting. I have “fwv”:219, and “fwm”:4. I also don’t see ntp in the /jo? json. The ntp settings {1,2,3,4} are all 0, which I guess is a good start.
