It appears IBM is playing catch-up and has implmented their own cloud system which is now powering (for better or worse) Weather Underground. At the bottom of the Weather Underground webpages is this statement: I learned one more modest but interesting thing on this quest. ![]() Has anybody else noticed anything weird about their data and/or images being uploaded to Weather Underground? I would be definitely interested in anything folks know before I take that most desperate step and contact Weather Underground technical "support" (sic). Alas, there appears to be absolutely no way to change the device passwords. ![]() Thus is appears that Weather Underground has now at least 2 levels of passwords and each device has an independent password. However, when I put the new password into WeatherCat - Error! Fortunately, I remembered the old password and when I put that in, I could upload data once more. I was able to change the password to my Weather Underground account without any problem. Hoping to simply resolve the problem I decided to change my password, hoping it would reset both the weather station device and webcam. Of course nobody from Weather Underground apparently bothered to inform Stu of this change I would be curious to know if any weather software (or embedded device) supports this new password. In another location it is clearly specified that this is supposed to be password for your FTP uploads. Puzzled, I poked around on the Weather Underground website where I discovered that indeed I have a webcam device however, something new has been added an: Upload Key. ![]() Weather Underground reports my webcam to be 'Offline. A quick investigation revealed that the problem was that Weather Underground wasn't accepting the password for the webcam image. My webcam data appears to have stopped uploading to Weather Underground 4 weeks ago. So that left what would seem to be a minor detail to straighten out: getting restored image to upload to Weather Underground. As reported elsewhere, my webcam is finally working once more as can be observed on my website:
