Farmtalk:
Ok so I got easyweather working well, and I submitted my weather station to wunderground (Though its not receiving yet), Im trying to get cumulus to work but im not quite sure what to put for "easyweather.dat" and "station model" on the left side....i put easyweather (using dat. file) on the top left where it displays the list of weather station types...Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

My station is a WS-1090 SOLAR

Weather Display:
you should be able to set cumulus to work directly with the Fine Offset type station
and not have to have easy weather running at the same time

neondesert:
Weather Display was typing about the same time as I was but we are in agreement.
Since the Weatherwise stations are basically re-badged Fine Offset models try using the Fine Offset (WH1080 etc) station type.

One other note, if you click on help at the bottom of a screen (such as Station Settings) it will bring up a page that gives detail on each of the settings.

The help file states that Easyweather setting is an obsolete alternative for stations which use the Easyweather software and is used when running Cumulus at the same time as
EasyWeather so Cumulus can 'piggy-back' off the EasyWeather data file.  It is preferable to choose the 'Fine Offset etc' setting
instead for these stations so that Cumulus can drive them directly - but you must not try to run Easyweather at the same time when you choose this option.

Note that if you really must use the Easyweather setting, you will have to run both Easyweather and Cumulus 24/7 (all the time) as otherwise you will get gaps in your data and many of your statistics
will be meaningless.  It is strongly recommended that you don not use the 'Easyweather' setting.

 

Farmtalk:
Yep I changed it to the Fine Offset and its working great!!! Thanks! Off to try and get it to work on my website now (Coding is not my forte' :lol:)

Farmtalk:
Anyone know of any good tutorials for putting cumulus onto a website such as a template by Ken??
