The Weather Station Data v5.7 to view WeatherFlow data on ROKU has released and is available as of 11/7/2023 10am PST.
This release features the ability to assign an “alias name” to weather stations.
If you monitor stations other than your own this feature is super useful.
You can name stations “Aunt Marie” or “Baseball Field” which is more meaningful to you and your family than what the owner named it.
To install on your ROKU: Main Menu → Search → “weatherflow data viewer”, the “channel poster” will look like below.
If you already have the channel it will eventually update on its own, OR you can request the update by: Highlighting the channel → Press * → Check for Updates
Thank you for the interest in my application, sorry to hear you are having an issue.
I need some additional information, please provide some details about what happens leading up to the app unloading.
When exactly does the app unload?
Do you ever get to the point where you enter your station number?
Hey
Thanks for getting back with me setting the station up and getting data upload is not the problem per say even tho it updates ever 2 to 3 minutes.
It unloads(exits the app w/o command) after a certain amount of time how long not sure yet I’m trying to gather that info I forget to catch the time I start, it unloads or both it’s not immediately I think I get a minimum of 30 minutes
I don’t have power save or data saver set on the onn.roku tv. model 100012589 which is up to date on internet access via fiber 500Mbps
Hey, totally great troubleshooting information, Thank you !!
There are many reports and confirmations on the internet that the “onn.roku tv” software has channel unloading issues (features).
I’m speculating here but I suspect that software has an issue with ROKU channels/applications running “unattended” for more than 30 minutes.
Your observation is also correct, my application refreshes data every 2 minutes automatically. That software (onn.roku tv) does not recognize that as “interaction” or “streaming” and kills the app.
All internet searched solutions direct users you buy an external stick or box.
The app is unable to verify my previously working station id. I’ve revived and reloaded the app on Roku 3940RW2 without success. “Could not locate” error.
I tend to agree with you so far. I can execute the same web calls from a computer to WeatherFlow and get valid JSON returns . . . I am working to troubleshoot!!
I’ve corrected the issue causing “Weather Station Data 5” to stop working !!
The new code-set just completed the ROKU publishing process and will release on 6/7/23 at 10am PST.
If you have deleted the application you can reinstall it on 6/7 after 10am PST
–or–
If you already have the app, highlight the app and select * → “Check for updates”.
Again, thank you for the interest in my application
A change in the environment caused my application to stop working on 5/22.
I JUST yesterday determined what happened and was able to correct the problem and updated the code.
ROKU only publishes updates on a specific schedule; the new version of my application is staged-up to publish on 6/7 at 10am PST.
If you have deleted the application you can reinstall it on 6/7 after 10am PST –or–
If you already have the app, highlight the app and select * → “Check for updates”.
