(Note that 4.1.0 (build 4024) - 05 June 2024 remains available, but usage of this version is not recommended - particularly for Davis stations - and the included utility in this distribution for migrating to v4 is known to contain errors affecting conversion of dayfile.txt)

I had an extended period of ill health in the Autum and returned to discover that Cumulus MX had stopped updating my web server. I checked the settings etc and managed to get a single synchronisation to work. The index.htm file on my site appears to be stuck at 00:15 on 16 January 2020. I've decided...
Thanks Steve. I can see the challenges and I trust that preparations for your trip are as painless as possible. Selling up cannot be easy whatever your decision about the future. I can also see that releasing the MX code to the public domain is a challenge. I've only done a very small amount of codi...
Well, I made the switch to Cumulus MX about a month back. All worked well and seems to be running happily on a standalone machine under Windows 10. I have MX build 3043. This week I decided to set up some FTP space on my personal website and get CumulusMX to drive that. All seemed to go OK apart fro...
I don't have a solution but a question which may nudge you along... A week or so back I moved my old Cumulus installation to a now redundant PC which I've allocated to do all the weather stuff. I have a Davis Vantage Vue station and that connects to the USB by some magic which includes allocating a ...
I just upgraded to MX and moved Cumulus to a new PC with Windows 10. I got this working by setting Windows 10 to startup without requiring a user login/password - I set the PC to login with a local user account (rather than a Microsoft account), run netplwiz and change the tick box to allow startup ...
I've had a Watson solar weather station which has served me relatively well but had a series of component failures. I could replace the main sensor but I feel I'm throwing good money after bad... So I'm now considering a Davis Vantage Vue (or anything else anyone wants to suggest). I'm keen to have ...
You have your station type set to "Fine Offset" (i.e. without solar sensors) but your station does have solar sensors. The logger entries are longer for stations with solar sensors, so Cumulus misinterprets logger data if it's configured for the wrong station type. Hi Steve, Thanks for th...
I discovered a fault in the base unit for my W-8681-SOLAR station. In the end I replaced the base unit and it seems to be recording everything pretty accurately. However, if I close Cumulus and return tomorrow then restart instead of getting sensible readings transferred from the base station I find...
Thanks Ron. Actually the W-8681-SLAR is rather different to the one you referred to but that did me some clues to interpret the rather obtuse manual that came with my station.
One of the frustrating things about many consumer electronic devices is the poorly written manual. It is now many moons since I set my 8681-SOLAR unit to display the correct relative pressure for my altitude. I'm conveniently close to a Met Office station so can be pretty certain of the accurate fig...
I purchased a new solar panel (which includes the screen which slides over the thermo-hygro sensor) from Waters & Stanton in Essex. Actually they had some challenges supplying a new one as they couldn't get anything from their supplier but it came in the end. I've since seen many for sale on eBa...
