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–

Steve,
I just found this. I installed your app on my Roku box, it came up and asked me my station number. My station ID is kp4djt01, but it did not take that, I tried several variations on the Tempest ID ST-00111669, but it rejected all but 00111669, which it took but it ID’d the station as Marina Peninsula Beach, and has temps that appear like the SF Bay area. When I search for it in the station list on the WeatherFlow page, it does not come up. What am I doing wrong or how can I get the right data on my screen. I have several neighbors that will want this on their Roku devices so they can check my station here in the area.
