I just finished installing the "OurWeather Solar Power Extender Kit" in the box with my v1 OurWeather station running version V036. But I don't see any solar data. The OLED never showed the "solar page" mentioned in the instructions.
It LOOKS like it is working - the battery turned on the green LED up on the top left when it was plugged in, the red LED at the top left is lit (flickering?), and the solar panels lit up the red LED when they were plugged in. The weather station booted up and is running.
Checking the Blynk app on my phone, I've got weather data, but no solar data (the solar page is blank). It is updating the weather info on my Wunderground page.
So, I checked the data from the IP address and got this:
{"variables": {"OurWeatherTime": "2020-01-06 16:20:12",

Am I missing something? Is there solar data in one of those strings? I went through the installation instructions again, but can't see that I missed any steps.
Did I miss something fundamental?
