Thanks for the hint. I ended up using a serial to USB. The weatherlink (autodetect) could not find anything but as I went thru one by one in it, it found a weather station on com4.

I put that in Cumulus and I think I'm back in business. Hopefully it will now "catch up".

Thanks again.

Useful information, of sorts. I did fire up Weatherlink -- it says another computer is using the com port.

Not sure how. WL -- i last used it 5 years ago. It wasn't running.

I can try other com ports, I guess? Windows 10 -- not even sure how to get to the com ports.

A little more info:

Davis VP.

Console looks fine. Connecting to weather station.

"Error -32701 while trying to initialise the station. Please check your connections and settings."

Cumulus 1.9.4

Been using for a long time. Weather data since 2004. Could not figure out how to install MX. No connections have changed.

FYI, that appears to work. "Equals" is case insensitive, text comparison.

So, I put in a couple of check points for the battery value.

when it hits 3.1, it usually fails shortly after.

lklawrie

So, I suppose I could try "equals" and several selections of 3.1v, etc.

I believe I've asked this before but didn't receive an answer. Tried messaging the developer -- also did not receive a response. I would like to monitor the battery voltage on the Davis Console and though it shows the correct voltage when I edit the rule -- it never comes up with a message. the batt...

Had copied all the ini files from the backup. Now did not copy today.ini plus deleted it from the data folder and at least new records (i.e. -90) aren't showing when starting cumulus.

Thanks again. Sorry for the inconvenience

lklawrie

I've copied that in (alltime.ini) but then it does download data -- could that be messing it up?

Under lowest temperatures, lowest apparent, lowest dew point

I would attach a screen shot but not sure how to?

lklawrie

Thanks, Steve!

Cumulus runs so well that I almost forget about it!

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to have fixed it.

lklawrie

My weather station (Davis VP) managed to record some bogus data points (-90 F temperatures) and, of course, recorded these as new records.

How do I remove this bogus data from the records and go back to what is real?

lklawrie

Thanks, will check it out.

lklawrie

Might it be possible to incorporate an additional alert method such as a simple email message or text message to a cell phone as one of the alert mechanisms? I have not really used the alerts much but email or text messages might be more useful to me. (Than a sound that I wouldn't see right away).

lklawrie

The brief research I did on what Davis uses for forecasting suggests that it is "based" on Zambretti.
