They're playing everybody like fish on a hook. They really don't care if you can see your own data as long as they keep getting it.

WU was not updating for about 1 day here (09/21/2022 through 09/22/2022) during which time my WU page was reported as offline, but my station was reported as online. BI Tools could not pull the data off WU during that time. I updated my API key and then waited until they came back.

Well, I'll throw a wrench in the gear works, fer sure. I have my Davis Vantage Pro II connected up to a Raspberry Pi, running Cumulus MX, on my main network. My cameras are running on an isolated network on a Win 7 machine on BI. Anyone familiar with this setup and can offer some thoughts on how to FTP the weather data from the PI to the cameras on BI?

It can, but my PI is on a different network. I thought about sending the text files from the PI to my NAS, and let BI go retrieve them from the NAS folder. Then I got to thinking that the PI may not be able to access the NAS. I am running Cumulusmx on a headless PI, and my Unix and Linux skills have diminished over the years. I can access it via Putty from my win 7 machine, so I know it can at least see it in one direction. If I try to call up the Cumulus Web page via browser, it cant seem to locate it.

Am I just not getting what you're saying (I'm probably missing what you're saying)? Because I SEEM to have the same set up as you. Here's what I have going:
Main network=Everything that gets to go to the outside world
Private network=All my cams
My BI box is on both networks
If this is what you have, and I'm presuming it is... can't you just share a folder on your BI box and send the text files straight to that folder from your PI?

So where's the download link? I've read the post maybe 10 times it kept saying download link is at the top of the page, there's nothing at the top of the page.

Can BIT be ran as a service and not on the desktop in interactive mode? We never login to the console if we do not have to as BI runs as a service. Thanks in advance!
It's been working for me for over 3 years.
The only issue for me has been periodically and with Weather Underground....certainly not BIT's fault.

BIT cannot be run natively as a service. However, you can just select the option to Start when Windows Boots under Program Options. That is how I have it set and I imagine most folks here use it. I don't run the BI console and instead run BI as a service too, and BIT loads fine when the computer boots up. A lot of us here run headless systems.
Just don't select the BIT option to Check for Updates as that feature no longer works and will cause you problems.

Wondering if there's a way to get a latitude/longitude overlay? There's some real time GPS location sharing mobile apps which have POST methods to any base URL and end point and at any interval. Someone in the LPR forum was asking how to store location data when collecting parked plates from a moving vehicle. One such app I saw in the Google Play is "Realtime Location API". Here is a link: Realtime Location API - Apps on Google Play
Any pointers appreciated.
Any pointers appreciated.
Not natively, but with a little programming you can certainly make it possible using BIT's Add-on's feature - Blue Iris Tools Add-ons If you do this, please share w/ the community.
