Where can I download Blue Iris? I cannot find a valid link. I purchased it in 2021 and had a series of health issues and would like to use it. Thanks.

Have you checked their website? Home - Blue Iris Software
Right in the top of the page is a download button. But if you purchased back in 2021 I'm not sure what version you have or if you can use the latest version with the old key.

A plea to the developer(s): Is it possible to tweak the next version of Blue Iris Tools so that it doesn't force a Windows UAC warning? As mentioned above, BIT is the only thing that prevents my server from booting unattended. Yes, I could lower the security level for the entire system as others have suggested, but that's a pretty risky solution. Is it doable? Pretty please?

Is anyone else experiencing problems with Blue Iris tools. I noticed my temperature has been stuck and isn't updating. When I look at the Blue Iris Tools software I am seeing the following error message. "Error connecting to Wunderground. Check your internet / Station ID".
I have changed out the station ID through 5 different ones local to me, and still get the same error. Clearly the Blue Iris Tools app is not able to connect to Wunderground for some reason and I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or knows how to fix it.
**I also want to note that I had not made any changes to this PC, it just suddenly stopped working.
Thanks.

Weather Underground is a hot mess. Most likely the problem is on their end.

I had several API's in my drop down that used to work. I had been using the same one for a long time. I believe they are valid, as I can access all of them from Wunderground directly. Zip code I'm trying to verify for is 98446, if you feel like checking it out and letting me know. Thank you. -Todd

I just grabbed a random weather station id in that zip code and it appears to be working.

It must be something with my system then that isn't allowing Blue Iris Tools to connect to the internet anymore. Must be blocking it. Thank you for checking that. I appreciate it.
Edit: I've checked recent windows updates, uninstalled them, uninstalled blue iris tools, reinstalled it, still getting the error code. Not sure what happened, it was working for years without a hitch, did nothing to that PC (I only use it for my security cameras) and now suddenly BITools will not connect to Wunderground. So weird. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to let me know. Thanks.

I did, but Vettester plugged in the API for a local weatherstation to me and he had no issues with it. My question would be, why or how could it work for 1 user on their system and not for me? I feel like that makes it seem like it's not a Wunderground issue. I 100% could be wrong, but that's why I'm here solicting thoughts, opinions, etc. So far it hasn't worked for 5 days now. It was working before that. I have no clue.

It still could be an issue with Weather Underground. You mentioned you had multiple API keys. You might try deleting all of them and then use the "Regenerate Key" option under "Member Settings".

KWATACOM486 Ok. I'll go look into that. If you feel like trying that API I posted here, that's the main one I'd like to use. If you have time. If not, I totally understand. Thanks for bouncing ideas off me. I appreciate that.

Ok. I can't seem to figure out how to delete the API's from the drop down. That's my first problem and I'm not seeing an option to "regenerate key" and I'm not seeing a "Member Setting." Are you referring to Blue Iris Tools for all these steps? BI Tools 1.6?

I have no idea what I did. I was hitting CTRL Delete on all the API's just hacking away trying to figure out how to get them to delete and then I just hit Update Weather like I've done 100 times and suddenly it started working. No clue. Thanks for putting up with me. Appreciate that.
