And by Jove, what is a cesspool :groan:
Old-style septic system, AKA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cesspit.

Re: Wunderground update interval

So, no thoughts about why it switched to a 5-minute interval, despite my uploading every 1 minute? Surrounding stations are updating at 1-minute intervals, so I thought it (wunderground) was doing something.

What other weather aggregators are now recommended versus wunderground?

Re: Poll on which Cumulus version is being used

I am one of those who started with C1 in 2011 (I was GlueGuy back then). After I started hobby-ing with Raspberry Pi for another project, I took a look at CMX, and jumped in with both feet. It has, indeed, come a long way. It installs easily, runs months (perhaps years, but the local power utility i...

Wunderground update interval

After updating to the latest CMX, I notice that now my PWS in Wunderground is only updating every 5 minutes. Turning on CMX logging confirms that I am indeed sending updates to Wunderground every 1 minute. Did Wunderground change something to override the 1 minute update, or am I missing another set...

Re: Wunderground crocked?

I'm tagging onto this thread, but if not enough people notice, I may post a new thread. After updating to the latest CMX, and fiddling around with the DNS (look back in this thread), I notice that now my PWS in Wunderground is only updating every 5 minutes. Turning on CMX logging confirms that I am ...

Re: email alarm options?

I will add that Yahoo mail also has an app-specific capability. So if anyone reading this thread is subscribed to Yahoo mail, you do a similar operation in the account settings.

Re: email alarm options?

Bada bing!

Thanks freddie! That was exactly the ticket. I did not know that existed. Now I can go set up a similar thing for our NAS, which has never been able to send an email.

email alarm options?

I recently updated our Raspberry Pi (Orange pi actually, but I digress), and updated to the most-current version of CMX. I see that it has settings for sending alarms on various conditions via email. That's great, but none of my email options (yahoo mail, or gmail) have a sign-in option that uses a ...

Re: Poll on which Cumulus version is being used

Then there are guys like me, who sat on CMX 3159 for quite a long time until yesterday when I bit the bullet and downloaded and installed CMX 3221a.

Re: Wunderground crocked?

Finally figured it out. DNS was working correctly, but I was experimenting with a PiHole, and had messed up the hostname lookup precedence. Once I left it to the default, it was fine.

Coincidence was that wunderground was having trouble at the same time.
