Supported station types
Phase can work with:
Davis WeatherLink
Weather Underground
DPIRD stations
Manual rain gauges
Davis WeatherLink
To add Davis WeatherLink stations, log in to WeatherLink and find your API v2 key and secret in profile/account information. A WeatherLink account may include multiple stations.
Once a Davis station is linked, Phase backfills historic rainfall toward 1 January of the current year and then keeps the station in sync. If some months are still missing, Phase retries on later syncs. Do not treat a gap as “Davis history is unavailable.” First check the station is saved, the API key and secret are current, and the WeatherLink account includes historic access. A manual rain gauge is a second record, not the first fix for a linked Davis station.
Weather Underground
Weather Underground stations can provide current conditions when configured with station details and API access. Historical Weather Company PWS data may depend on the user’s API access.
DPIRD stations
Users can choose DPIRD stations they want to save and show in Phase.
Manual rain gauges
Manual rain gauges let users record rainfall directly. They can appear on the map and in weather/rainfall views.
Manual entries should be used for the gauge record itself. Yield WUE overrides are separate and should not overwrite the station or gauge rainfall history.
Spray guidance
Phase may show weather guidance for spraying, such as good, marginal, avoid or no data. This is guidance only. Always check the product label, permits, local conditions and adviser recommendations before spraying.
If rainfall or weather is missing
Check the saved station, station location, provider credentials, selected farm and whether the station is still linked. For Davis WeatherLink, Phase is meant to backfill historic rainfall when the account has historic access. If months are missing after linking, wait for the next syncs or contact support with the station name. Do not switch the grower to a manual gauge as the first answer.
Some other providers can show current conditions but may not provide older history unless the account or API supports it.
Tank, diesel, trough and FarmBot monitors
Tank, diesel, trough and FarmBot sensor integrations are not live in Phase yet. These integrations are being looked at. FarmBot monitors cannot currently be added as a live feed in Weather / Sensors.
We would like to understand what you need: which brand or model are you using, and what would you like to see in Phase — for example tank level, fuel level or trough readings? Tell Phase support in Help chat or email support@phase.ag. There is no confirmed release date.
Today, weather options include Davis WeatherLink, Weather Underground (WU), DPIRD and manual rainfall recording. You can track fuel in Inventory; this is fuel record keeping, not an automatic live tank-sensor feed.
