Hi Gyvate,

That is correct one virtual console per account.  Multiple virtual consoles per account may be something I can look at later :)

I just signed up to check it out and I like it.

I started out using the Ambient API key. But then I switched it to custom server and it no longer updates. I followed the instructions to a 't'. I even check my console to make sure the settings were proper.

Is there another port I should try? Also I did delete the API key from the settings, just to be clear.

Great, Happy to hear you like it. 

I have made a minor change to the setup guide Ambient custom server.  try updating your settings now. 

Thanks

one more hint:
I suggest that you increase the CumulusMX string by solar radiation - your string doesn't contain that
Just add "&sr=<#SolRad>" at the end of your string. (case sensitivity  :!:)
Had to figure that out and kept on wondering why no solar radiation was showing - after adding that to the string it shows/ed.

Dew point and Wind Chill don't seem to show because these are calculated values not directly provided by the console in the post.

Looking forward to your extended dashboard for Ecowitt extra sensors

I notice that when I switched over to custom server, I lost my dew point. And the outdoor min and max isn't populating.

I assume wind chill isn't populating because there is none in the summer?

I think it's a calculated value and it's not provided as a "ready-made" value by the console.
Look up the strings that the console sends earlier in this thread - no dew point, no wind chill ...
The dashboard only reads the values and assigns them - hence no dew point and not wind chill.

When you populate the dashboard via Meteobridge or via CumulusMX, these application programs have already calculated dew point and wind chill and therefore can also provide them in their post string to the dashboard server.
Same with outdoor min/max temperature.

I've actually known this in the past and just completely forgot about these calculated fields. I ran cumulus mx for a while and it just didn't dawn on me, so thanks for the refresher. Makes perfect sense.

Just made an account & added details to my HP2551.

Noticed though that temp & pressure were displayed in imperial units, while the symbols indicated metric.
Selected the convert option & all looks fine.

I just signed up and started an account.
I use Meteobridge.
The displays are really nice.
I did notice that Meteobridge uses m/s for wind and
there is no conversion for m/s to mph.
I did get around it by using "ws=[wind0wind-max1=mph.1:--]"
in the meteobridge api setup instead of "ws=[wind0wind-max1.1:--]"
This is a really nice project.
Thanks,
Tom

So does this mean that the Ecowitt protocol that HP2551 etc send has data in imperial format regards of what's selected on the console.

Not sure, all I do is display what is sent. 

I added the option to convert from one to the other because there is no guarantee that just because the display option set on the physical console is in one format that it will send data in the same format.

If your console is sending data that is different to what is displayed on the console then it must be that imperial is their default output.

Pushed 2 new themes to support additional sensors from Ecowitt and FO.

If your an Ecowitt/FO user feel free to check it out!

Standard Stations

Stations with lots of sensors

it works - however the SM3 occurs twice (name), probably the 4th SM sensor needs to be renamed to Soil Moisture 4  8-)

There are 8 SoilMoisture sensors possible though. I cannot show all of mine. Maybe you add 4 more  :-)

The lightning sensor would be great too - it shows 3 values: strike count, distance, and last occurrence (date/time).

Do you provide posting strings for Meteobridge and CumulusMX for the extended Ecowitt dashboard, or do the users have to "doctor" it themselves ?

2nd Soil Moisture 3 has been renamed to Soil Moisture 4  [tup]
What about a second line for SM sensors 5-8 ?

The lightning sensor depiction is imho not really satisfactory - what you show is the distance of the last strike only - not very informative as the only lightning information.
You have to show 3 values which the console sends:
(1) "lightning_time" date/time of last strike in EPOCH format e.g."1626810900"; to be translated into 20-07-2021 19:55 UTC
(2) "lightning_num" strike count at current date usually "0", only different on days with strikes
(3) "lightning"  lightning distance of last strike; e.g.:"27" km

This is also the sequence of importance - where (1) and (2) together give already a lot of information which will be completed by the distance information (3).

Hi Gyvate,


Thanks for the information.  I am looking at ways of doing this. 

Are you running the console on a tablet/ipad?

So far it's running (wrong wording) , it's being viewed (as it runs on the server) on a PC.
I could also look it up in a browser on my Fire HD tablet (10").

one more thing:
in order to send the proper data from CumulusMX it is not enough to know the CumulusMX web tag.
We also need to know the 2-letter (or more) tag you use for your dashboard:
e.g. sr=<#SolRad>
what are your tags ? [in front of the "=" sign]
extraTemp one can guess: could be t1-t8, h1-h8 for extraHumid
what about CO2 values, soil moisture sensors ?

I will be updated the CumulusMX and API instructions with the additional console tags (parameters) once I have figured them all out.
