@galfert I'm not sure but on the Cumulus wiki site there is a "3rd party" tool called "Toolbox" it does a lot of things for Cumulus 1 that CumulusMX does on it's own You might check it out for a quick fix while you delve into the CumulusMX world

@TomSlavkovsky Question: Wind direction, are you following the convention of 360 = North, 0 = Calm (no reading)?

Hi my station is showing on your map but there is no data at all, sending it via WeatherDisplay station https://www.windy.com/station/pws-f06ebe19?-33.936,148.599,8,i:pressure

@f4phlyer Cumulus Toolbox is very good on what it does, but does not offer that function.

this has been resolved (linux version of weather display)

@TomSlavkovsky
stationId is listed a 32 bit integer but on the station information screen and on windy an ID is shown in what looks like hex.

It's confusing for users who are configuring uploaders, they need to use an integer and that integer is not the id listed on the configuration page it's 0,1,...

galfert

@gearoid There are two things. The station ID which is public and the API key which is private. They are two different identifiers for different uses. You don't want your API key to be public. When you upload you do not use the station ID at all. The API key is all that is used to upload. Hopefully that clears up the confusion.

@galfert
Weewx's windy extension takes an ID as one of its inputs along with the API Key.
It's that ID that I was referring to, it's neither the public station id nor the API Key.
The info part parameters of the protocol at the top of this topic also lists a station (alternative names: si, stationID) as one of the parameters.

@gearoid Cumulus MX takes the station index too. The first you define is zero, the second 1 etc. I agree though that this information is not presented on your stations page, but they do seem to be listed in station ID order.

Where do I see the precip amount for a station?

@Praveen-Chandrasekaran
Unfortunately precipitation amount for a weather station is not available on Windy.

Praveen Chandrasekaran

Precipitation is the most widely followed data , any reason why it's not included?

TomSlavkovsky

Now you can send atmospheric pressure in following units:

pressure - real number [Pa]
mbar - real number [milibar, hPa]
baromin - real number [inches Hg]

@mcrossley Hi, 0 means variable wind. Otherwise, 1˚-360˚ describes the wind direction.

Hi there everyone,
Can anyone help me setup my Davis PWS. I am using Cumulus. I can't seem to figure out how to get the URL into cumulus.
Thanks in advance.

mcrossley

@abbas72 Cumulus 1 does not support this feature. Cumulus MX does.

Mapantz

Apologies if it has been requested already, but, is it feasible to be able to send total rainfall?

TomSlavkovsky

You can now access the weather data using the GET method, see topic here.
