Sharper Image Weather Station EC-WS115 not updating

For the life of me, I can't get the program to work.  I wish someone would put together a VIDEO showing a step by step process of installing the fix. 

To all of you who have completed the fix, I envy you!  Someone please do this!

I finally had some success this morning utilizing a workaround that was developed with a lot input from a number of people.  I've created a step-by-step guide as to what I did to get my Sharper Image EC-WS115 5-Day weather forecast station up and running again after the server quit working back on November 30th.  If you use Windows, then this solution should work.  I just got it working this morning, so I haven't fully tested it yet to see if it automatically updates like it used to or if there are any bugs in the code.  If you're interested in taking a peak at the process (5 steps), then download the zip file containing all the files you will need to make it work.  The step-by-step guide is a filed titled 'Read Me.pdf'.  Thanks to all those who did the hard work by decompiling and writing new code in order to make it work.  The zip file can be downloaded here (just click on 'download' in the upper-righthand corner):

Best of luck and Merry Christmas!

I completed your instructions on Dec. 22 and my Sharper Image 5 Day Forecast populated correctly.  However, since the initial population, is stopped populating.  As of today, Dec. 28, Friday, January 1st's forecast is blank.  I suspect by tomorrow, January 2nd's forecast will be also blank, and so on.  Has anyone else experienced this and do you have a solution for it?  thanks

Hello Randy, sorry it's giving you some trouble.  First question, are you speaking of the device itself or the app on the PC?  If the app is populating correctly but the device is showing blank days, then that would indicate a problem with the transmission of the data and would help pinpoint where the problem is.  If the app is also showing blank days, then that tells me that its having trouble getting the data from the Internet.  Just a place to start with the troubleshooting.  Also, are you manually running the WampServer on startup or do you have it running as a service (to start automatically)?  I'm actually troubleshooting an issue right now with similar difficulties after everything is set to automatically start as a service upon a reboot (hopefully I'll have more on that later).  Thanks

Hello,

Both the app on the PC and the device are not updating.  As of today, Dec. 29th, I have 2 days that are blank, which would be Fri. Jan. 1 and Sat. Jan. 2.  I completed the setup on Dec. 22.  I have my WAMP server in the startup file on Windows 7 (I put the file called start WampServer in the startup file), but I do not see the WampServer icon at the bottom right of my toolbar.  If I manually click on WampServer, then the icon will show up on the bottom right of my toolbar.  Should I need to do that and do I need to see the WampServer icon on the bottom right of the toolbar or just assume it's running in the background?  Regardless, it is not getting the data from the Internet.  I've tried both letting the WampServer start on its own and I've tried manually starting it.  On my device, the UPDATE date is still set at 12/22 at 10:44 p.m. which was when it was initially set up.  That date should also change if it is updating properly, shouldn't it?  Anyway, thanks for any help you can give!

Randy

Actually about every 4 to 5 hours now that I've been watching it.  No problems!  :-)
